If elections were won by forum popularity, it's no surprise that Ron Paul would win.
Many of us are familiar with the fact that, for decades, Ron Paul has worked tirelessly to limit the size of the federal government, and at the same time, educate people on the concepts of liberty.
So when we hear Ron Paul talk in the debates, so much of what he says just 'clicks'. Even when Paul sometimes kinds of struggles to find the words to express what he's saying, we all kind of know what he's talking about already, so we miss the fact that Joe Average probably didn't make that connection between the Federal Reserve and and high education costs.
The average viewer of these debates don't read the ronpaulforums. Even worse, the average voter likely didn't see any/many debates, so they get what they know about Paul from the news recap the following the day, and we know the news isn't helping us like it does for Cain, Perry, and Romney.
Paul's talk about liberty and the reach of the federal government is slowly winning votes, but not at a rate that will win a nomination.
The average voter isn't as tuned in to politics as the ronpaulforum.com participant. They might understand how primaries work, but some of them don't, and think that when they show up they just want to vote for someone who isn't Obama (I know, right?), so they just choose someone with name recognition.
Frankly, that sucks, but we have to play the hand we're dealt. Ron Paul needs our help reaching that average voter.
We can do that with the Ron Paul phone from home program. You call people not unlike your great aunt Sally or your cousin Doug, and get his name and his campaigning points out to people who may not otherwise get to hear about Paul's unfiltered and untainted message.. You're provided a script. You don't have to debate Austrian economics or civil rights. It's really straight forward, and it works. When Great Aunt Sally goes to the poll, she remembers that conversation, she remembers the name 'Ron Paul' and that he sounded like he knows how to help this country, and she votes for him.
If elections were won by forum popularity, we would win. But it doesn't work that way.
However, if the members from that popular forum volunteer for the phone from home program, even just for a little bit of time, we win.
Let's get started.
