Help me celebrate 8,000 calls for Dr. Paul! -- all by my lonesome!

[vechorik]

It encourages me to see others making calls for Dr. Paul...THANKS!
To see photos of the call centers warms my heart....THANKS!
I do my very best to work full-time, yet call for Dr. Paul.

I'm shy and it was a VERY hard thing to bring myself to do.
After about 200 calls, it's easy as pie.

So ---- without further ado

My 8,000th call celebration!

EIGHT COMMA ZERO ZERO ZERO calls for Dr. Paul (and still dialing!)

Well, phone stats are confidential...but as a rough gauge......

These list supposedly don't contain "known Ron Paul supporters" so each voter we can ID for Dr. Paul, it really excites callers.
I shouldn't tell you what else we do, but the campaign can use the info, even if it's not a RP voter on the survey/poll.

We do well to find 1 in 200-300 calls. Most calls are no answer. Iowa was a tough list and I didn't find many. NH is amazing me. I find LOTS of RP supporters there the campaign didn't know about.

But Nevada! Ahhhhh, that's RP country! People are friendly, answer surveys and lots of RP supporters. If a person is new to "calling from home" Try NV first. The computer switches to NV 7PM central time.

...and thanks for helping the celebration!

[roversaurus]

Thank you so very much for your service to your country.
I haven't reached 500 yet.

Great work vechorik!

I have to agree with you. You certainly don't need to be outgoing to Phone from Home. You only need to be able to speak clearly and read the script or press a button to leave a voicemail. It's not a sales solicitation at all.

Although there will be opportunities to go off the script to say "Seems like you are leaning towards Ron Paul" or "What do you make of Ron Paul?" if you feel like it.

[The One]

It's a celebration bitches.

[thehighwaymanq]

Awesome!

[nyrgoal99]

closing in on 2700 calls myself, over my 2500 pledge before Iowa

NH is filled with RP supporters. It is really amazing. We really need to his this hard in the next 10 days to find everyone.

[justatrey]

WOW, +rep.

Trust me I hate calling with a passion - probably even more than you and haven't even hit my pathetic 100 pledge yet. Will get there this weekend though!

[Sublyminal]

I'm up to 500 >_< working 12 hrs a day takes a lot of time from me.

[FriedChicken]

I'm trying to reach 1,000 total calls before Jan. 3rd!
You're awesome and inspiring!

[dante]

Awesome!

Way to go. We should bronze your calling finger.

[BuddyRey]

Woot! Congrats!

[J_White]

I will give you a Liberty Purple Heart for this !!
keep calling.
its simple and probably the most effective way to contribute to the campaign at this time !!

[qwerty]

that´s so awesome! wishing that many follow your example!

[vechorik]

I gave reps to all the callers on the last two pages of posts here -- ALL MY REPS GO TO CALL FROM HOME PEOPLE!

Touched my heart to see hard-working, long-hour people still trying to find time to call for Dr. Paul.
You can train someone in your family to call when you can't -- even if they're not a Paul-supporter, they can call. They don't have to know facts -- just read the script.

Calling from home is boring in one way, but exciting as heck in another way (when I get a RP supporter or a Romney supporter that wants to "end the wars" LOL)

Calling to win! -- Join us!

[Aratus]

you really deserve more REP!

[robmpreston]

Is there a guide for setting this up on Skype? I probably could find it easily if I search but don't have time right now. Not enough minutes for calling on my regular phone anymore.

Found this:
Google Voice is the best method.

Go to google.com/voice

Sign up following there instructions. Pick an Iowa area code for your google voice phone number if possible.

Dial away online. Free, unlimited calling from your computer!

The most reliable is Skype but costs a little to set up
