Hi everyone,
I'm new here, so I think I should show my Ron Paul credentials: I'm the brazilian who wrote "The conservative case for Ron Paul" which was published on Lew Rockwell.
So, I have a suggestion to make: why not create an "action pledge", something similar to a money bomb, but which envolves certains steps.
Here is what I thoght that could make it more effective:
- Have weekly goals.
People tend to be lazy. If you have a weekly deadline, your productivity you grow exponetialy.
- Make it self growing
Have, as one of the goals, to bring new members
- Use it to build an action mailing list to coordinate projects.
Here is what I have in mind:
Become a Ron Paul Patriote
Weekly goals:
1. Spread Ron Paul's name to 100 new people.
2. Convert 4 new Ron Paul Patriots.
3. Donate 25 bucks.
Think about how fast it could spread: if you start with 1,000 it grow to 5,000 in one week. Then, it would grow again do 25,000 and then to over 100,000.
Wouldn't it be huge?
Pareto's law says that you get most of your results of 20% attempts. If you talk to 100 people, 20 will listen to you, and 4 will became suppoters.
It's just an avarage, but it could work.
If anyone takes that idea, he sould make a website with pratical actions members should make and should mail a "to do list" every week.
So, what do you think?
