I'm looking for specific ideas for activism at these three times.

Hit me with your best ideas. It's for a project I am working on for the grassroots.

Black Friday-- SHOP FOR FREEDOM!

We need to get AS MANY Ron Paul supporters as we can to wear shirts, pins, hats, WHATEVER and go shopping on that day.

Basically, just wear anything to show people that you are a Ron Paul supporter. We need to get as many people as we can to do this... we need to show America the kind of support Ron Paul has!

Check out the thread here:

We got 36,000 people to donate to Ron Paul on November 5th. With the same kind of effort, we could get more than 36,000 people to wear Ron Paul gear on Black Friday. It's zero cost! *except for the price of the shirt/pin/whatever*

I'm not sure of the cost, but doing something liek thsi over some of the biggest malls in key states might not be a bad idea:

Black Friday:
Get a nice looking van (rent or buy) and hand out hot coffee and cocoa at the long lines waiting outside of stores. Also hand out Ron Paul information.

Great ideas guys, but don't forget Christmas and Thanksgiving.

Also, I should have mentioned that I am looking for things that individuals can do, hopefully the ideas will be small and low cost.

I like the T-Shirt idea It's cheap, free, and will nab us more supporters. Getting more supporters is the thing we need the most now. Money is only a campaign resource!

We could even add something like Give the Troops a Merry Christmas To Remember! Send 'em home by Voting for Ron Paul!

Suggest to meetup members to host Christmas parties. That way you can reach the closest to you..

"Fruitcakes" "Nuts" etc - food drive/toy drive for the food banks in our local areas ? Have regular Ron Paul events in which everyone donates an item to be delived to a local food bank or Christmas Charity in the name of us Ron Paul Supporters.

Just like the SPAM drive that got a lot of positive publicity not so long ago.

I think there should be an after Christmas money bomb - Return your gifts and give the money to Ron Paul.

I'm glad some others brought up the idea of food drives and toy drives. I think this would be great publicity to offset the "fringe" aspect of grassroots supporters. It might also make a small statement that people can take care of other people without government intervention.

What did you do with info?
Did you create a website?
I just found the thread amongst all the others while polishing 'Have a Ron Paul Christmas' over at RonPaulsRebels.

Let me know if I left anything off of the list.
