Grassroots here is your opportunity to show that you really care. I've seen all this 'analysis' talk and what not. Well here's some analysis that you need to look at AND TAKE ACTION!!! (not just read about it)

Rp08orbust has been robopolling.. And they have list of thousands of numbers that have yet to be called. I'm DISAPPOINTED in everyone here, and so will you be after you see this Analysis...

They are different than the Campaign Phone from Home, so you must sign up with them here:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dHV0NVpwWFBSWXZEc015WWgtTldjLUE6M A#gid=0
Let me repeat: THIS IS NOT PHONE FROM HOME run by the campaign. To call this list you must sign up on the above link. This is a grassroots program!

Donate to their PAC: www.rp2012.org
(this robocalling is more effective than those brochures!)

Once you sign up call her: Call here: 765-498-2006 - Valerie (she will set you up fast)

Keep this in mind, every number they have is of a person who has responded to a 'Robocall' indicating they support Ron Paul for President. And then someone calls them back to reaffirm that and provide information to them...

After calling people back after the robocall: here are the results..

Of those who responded to robocall and then were followed up by a real person:
87% INDEED were Ron Paul supporters
Of those who after being followed up said they were Ron Paul supporters:
60% said they would be going to the caucus or at least try

Which means 52% (.87x.60) of the people who were called were Ron Paul Supporters AND were going/planning/trying to the Caucus.


In simple words 9 in 10 calls were Ron Paul supporters. And 1 in every 2 calls was a supporter planning to go to the caucus or at least trying to.

YOU CAN'T GET ANY MORE EFFECTIVE THAN THIS FOLKS!!!!


Given these numbers, we should have so many volunteers to phonebank their list that there shouldn't even be any number left to call. We should've had so many volunteers that the numbers would be called as soon as they got new ones. But that is NOT the case. They have a HUGE number of people MORE THAN 1000 that are yet to be called.

THIS IS THE MOST EFFECTIVE use of your time and if you're planning on Phone banking too. I would encourage everyone to finish these numbers and make THIS a priority. You don't get this type of effective results anywhere!! Not even with the Phone from Home run by the campaign. Prioritize this list, when they run out of numbers go back to the Phone from Home-Campaign, and when these people get more numbers, finish them up fast!!! Do both!!

Think about it If there are 1000 numbers left to be called that would mean 900 of them are supporters!!! And 520 of them are planning to vote!!!!

The fact is there are MORE than 1000 numbers to be called, and more and more numbers are added every day. So there are ALOT of votes at stake here!!!

About 12,000 voted in 2008 caucus. Ron Paul got 2700 votes. These 520 votes would've represented 4% of ALL votes AND almost 20% of the Ron Paul votes. Can YOU afford to NOT CALL THEM?

We need to get them all the caucus information.. so they can come out and vote...

And I didn't even count the fact that many of these people are bringing OTHERS too!!! So in fact calling them and getting them the information they need to caucus will produce far more than 52% effective votes!!!


For god sake, STOP the speculation. Sign up with them, especially if you are phonebanking with the campaign too. This list must be prioritized because it is so EFFECTIVE!!! 9/10 are RP supporters!

Sign up to phonebank with them: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dHV0NVpwWFBSWXZEc015WWgtTldjLUE6M A#gid=0

Everyone needs to realize how effective this is. And how important winning WA state is. Remember Santorum got his surge when he won Iowa. If we win Washington, then going into Super Tuesday WE WILL BE SURGING!!! And anyone who says 'he can't win' will have to rethink. IT will BOOST OUR OWN TURNOUT in the coming States!!

Can YOU afford to NOT CALL THEM?
THIS is FAR MORE IMPORTANT than watching Ron Paul youtubes, you've listened to him so many times already. STOP! And do this... And stop speculating. ACTIONS produce results, not speculations.

bumped and will bump again (also informed by the forums I'm not allowed to +rep you anymore for awhile :p )

Folks the OP says it all, both of these Phone From Home efforts are vital and they could literally net us our first straw poll finish in WA, for momentum this will be HUGE and going into Super Tuesday the timing couldn't be better. Here's where we make a run for fist place in the delegate count an put a nail in the myths of "unelectable".

As the post above mine says, Do both Phone From Home programs we have a win in WA but ONLY if we Get Out the Vote, and THIS is how we do it!

NO, this is a list that is compiled by www.rp2012.org .. This is grassroots, they have robopolled people, if they say they are Ron Paul supporters on the robocall, then we call those people back (real person this time of course) that is why the percentage of them actually being a supporter is so high because they have already indicated in a robocall that they are..

Depends on the overall turnout. This year is tricky to judge because well we don't have a primary like last time. Last time was caucus and primary both. So since its just caucus only this year, we don't know how much the turnout will be. If its anything like last time we should win IF we can get the vote out..

We CAN'T take any chances. We CAN'T relax. We CAN'T speculate and fantasize. We can't 'guess' the turnout.. Our goal and soul goal is to get out the vote, forget about everything else. We just need every supporter to come out, that may result in a small victory or a blowout, we don't think about that.

We just need to get the vote out, no reason to think about anything else. What will happen will show. But if we set ourselves a 'goal' then we'll underperform. We need EVERY vote, thats it!

RPit, one thing I'd edit about your post is that it seems to imply that the robocall asks a yes/no question about whether people support Ron Paul. Fortunately, it doesn't, otherwise the robocall would be turning the entire state against Ron Paul. What it does ask is which candidate people support for president, asking them to enter 1 for Barack Obama, 2 for Mitt Romney, 3 for Sick Rantorum, 4 for Ron Paul, 5 for Newt Gingrich and 0 for Undecided. If people enter 4 for Ron Paul and confirm it, then they are played a message urging them to vote in the caucus. If they confirm another response, then it says, "Thank you for participating; goodbye." So no one except those who vote for Ron Paul know that the robocall is being run to identify Ron Paul supporters.

He did great work in Ames. Almost single handedly ID'd at least a thousand voters.

This should be to RPF what superbrochures is to DP. I've contributed to this. rp08orbust has a focus on votes, voters, getting RP supporters to vote, and things related to voting.

Not enough people voting has been our problem.

This solves that problem.

Do both.. But prioritize this one though. Campaign is just going over and over their lists, and the effectiveness is low. With this list there are just a few thousand numbers that given enough people calling would be over in a matter of hours, then you can revert back to the campaign.

We don't have much time left. We got to be effective. This is HIGHLY targeted list of likely Ron Paul supporters, 87%, vs the campaign phone from home which is not as targeted.

So the best use of time is to finish this grassroots program, and I think in a matter of 3-4 hours given we all do it this list would be finished, and we could also do the campaign PFH. So both :)

The way it worked with me was, they gave me a call, gave me access to the list and told me a little about how to go about doing the calls and entering the data. So you'll get a call tomorrow most likely since its late right now.

Or do both. People aren't saying that the official phone from home is bad.

What might be being said is that the official Washington list might be overworked in some way? People might also be saying that one person could make a bigger difference with this one than with the official phone from home. I think there's an assumption that the official phone from home is well known and that there are a lot of people working on that. In comparison, this phone from home isn't well known, there aren't as many people available to make GOTV calls. We can be more confident that we're talking to fresh people as well.

What you might be doing is making a guess about how much calling the official campaign has been able to do, in comparison to how much you think they should do. How many times are we leaving messages on people answering machines with the official system? After a while, you'll get answering machine after answering machine if you go over the same list over and over. I have no idea if this is the case with the official system. But I'm guessing that it's more likely to be the case with the official system than with this system.

This is basically the same thing that was happening for the Ames Straw Poll. Working from the original lists, the lists that rp08orbust uses tend to have a high number of Ron Paul supporters. They're younger and tend to be less rural. I suspect that his list will be a rich source of votes. Different people are on the official campaigns list and this list.

I look at stickies, but I look below the stickies more often. But I don't go beyond the first page much. There's so much activity that something like this could just not be bumped. But yeah, the anti sticky argument is a valid one. If you have 2 threads - one stickied, one not, you have the best of both.

I think most of the funds will be used to do more robocalls so they can find more people, so the list of numbers to call will grow. The rest is up to us, but they're also using a call center since not enough people were calling but I hope that changes so hopefully so that the volunteers like us can finish this list so they don't have to pay anyone to call back and they use all their money to find new people to call, meaning the list to call will continue to grow as more and more people are robocalled and say they support Ron Paul.

I don't think anyone should start 'calling' yet since its pretty early right now. Its Pacific time here, remember, you want to be considerate :)

In the Primary '08 we had 40,539 votes! Have we identified them for the caucuses yet? No.. This is why the robocall strategy works so well. Because we can ID them with robocall surveys. And then use our volunteer's time effectively by calling people who have said they support Paul because they support him in the robocall survey..

This prevents wasting our volunteer time on non-supporters..

We just need to turn our supporters out, even a chunk of that 40,000+ votes from '08 is enough to win a CAUCUS. And this year we should have more supporters since we've doubled our support almost in every state!

Please support this initiative. Donate to them so we can find more supporters and try to turn them out. Most people DON'T know that there is NO PRIMARY this year.

It is ESSENTIAL to get this out, and have them turn out for caucus letting them know there is no primary..

So again PLEASE volunteer and do phone calls for them. Almost everyone is working with the campaign phone from home which has been overworked, people receiving multiple calls from them already.. If just a few of you 50-100 people helped this project out we could be getting many more voters!

And if you can't call, PLEASE DONATE.. This is an effective strategy and usage of your money.. We can win WA with your help.. Think of this something more targeted than the Super Brochures. So PLEASE DONATE so they can identify more supporters!

Ps:: if a admin could front page this it would be awesome.

Don't you think the 40K that voted are going to do so again? I want new people. People that are 50/50 , Like the lady that was going to vote Mitt but I changed her mind to Paul b/c I mentioned Goldmansacs and the NDAA and how Mitt is supported by Sacs and that he would have supported the NDAA. That changed her mind ASAP. We need new voters not people we know are already voting Paul.... Great to do both, no doubt about that but I am sure if they voted in 08 they will vote in 12

They voted in a PRIMARY we only got 2700 at the caucus. So like I've said THERE IS NO PRIMARY. We need to get these primary voters to CAUCUS!! Most here don't know anything about a caucus and have never attended one. Some think it happens in some central far place even though it happens in their very community!!! People dont know about caucus, we need to get all these primary voters who don't even know there is NO PRIMARY this year to learn about the caucus and know this is their ONLY opportunity, there is no Mail-in ballot which almost everyone is used to here.

Again 40000 voted Ron Paul in the PRIMARY but ONLY 2700 voted in the CAUCUS. We can't let that happen. If we doubled our support then we should have 100000 primary voters, we only need them to learn about the caucus and turn out. If we get even a small chunk of them we will blow every competition out of water!!!!!!

Let me repeat: THIS IS NOT PHONE FROM HOME run by the campaign. To call this list you must sign up on the above link. This is a grassroots program!

Donate to their PAC: www.rp2012.org
(this robocalling is more effective than those brochures!)

Keep this in mind, every number they have is of a person who has responded to a 'Robocall' indicating they support Ron Paul for President. And then someone calls them back to reaffirm that and provide information to them...

It's good to be skeptical.

Search the board for Ames Robocall threads. A full accounting of all costs and results are documented in those threads. The Georgia straw poll is also documented here on this board, where this type of effort produced a tie with Cain there, and then also the California straw poll where a landslide win was produced..

Many on this board participated in calling the ID's that came from that earlier effort.

Reserving number means just put your name in the column that asks if they are supporters. So others will see your name and not do them. This prevents redundancy. So just write down your name in those boxes, works just like excel.

That has been a load of BS since the Ames straw poll.

Back when the campaign was sending out spreadsheets... a simple filter on the spreadsheet (2 clicks) -- showed their own list (I only had 250 names) was rife with duplication. In just 250 names, over 15% were dupes.. combine that 250 with the other thousands, I'm sure it was close to 30% duplication or more.

Add onto that they were using 12 call centers, and PFH with the same list... and your volunteers getting pissed at all the complaints... of course you need to find a scapegoat...

RPit
03-01-2012, 05:25 PM
One of the reasons is because people get called from both the campaign and these other groups. They then get annoyed.

People are already annoyed with the campaign, because the campaign has called the same people a couple times already. Most likely because they have gone through the same 'old caucus goer' list a few times. For some reason even when they have someone as a supporter they still have them as part of 'unvetted supporter' and so forth. I personally received 3 calls from the Bellevue HQ, and I actually go an phonebank there myself, lol ;)

There is no one it seems that is trying to collaborate their own lists. Its almost like they have sorted people out already, and when they are done with one list they don't compare it with the others to reduce redundancy.

If redundency is the problem, its primarily the campaign's fault. They called the Democrat 4 times, and I was the 4th time and he basically yelled at me cuz he asked to be removed every single time. I'm really not going to buy this as an excuse to not do this list when they don't have anything in order themselves.

RPit
03-01-2012, 05:40 PM
And I'm sure the experience of many callers to this list is positive and is not that of redundancy. That's why If you've been calling this list please post some feedback regarding this list and effectiveness while the phone rings or in between calls so others are encouraged to join and do this!

+rep keep posting this positive feedback. People need to know HOW EFFECTIVE THIS IS!!! If only a handful people from the PFH came and did this it would be amazing.

This list has identified many voters, probably more likely primary voters, while PFH is rehashing those old cacus goer lists and registered voters. There are some supporters found who haven't even registered to vote yet, so they are likely not in the campaigns list (or at least not that many)...

However with so few people currently calling I'm now leaning towards "better me call them with a funky voice than have them not get a call". Feedback from people who are on the project yea or nay regarding my getting involved at this point? What's the best way I can help?

I hate to be this guy, especially when I have the least posts/reps on this thread, but have we proven this is not a scam? I see many established members jumping in, so I assume it's okay. I don't want to throw money at something without being at least somewhat sure, and this seemed to have bubbled up pretty quick.

I just got an automated call from Utah and he said I would like to know who you support for a candidate 1. Obama 2. Mitt 3. Rick and 4. (when he said 4 it got cut off) then it went through the list again and again #4 was cut off. Anyone get this call?

Really good list. Lot's of RP supporters. Quite few voice mails, I did not leave a message so just made a comment "voice mail" for followups, then tried again later.

Calling 200 people when you have to talk to all of them is great good work. Beastly effort.

Yeah, this is incredibly good. I have to say, everyone do this until we get through the whole list. Then do PFH; I had decent results from even that calling it last night in Washington.

I didn't have results as awesome as you did, but 7/26, with about 4 more maybes, is still a big deal. I'll be back on the phones tomorrow night...gotta get my sleep so I can get up early to get out of work early.

Guys, I won't be able to call until tomorrow after work. But, if this is half as good as you guys are saying, it's going to be great. I didn't get a single RP supporter in WA using the campaign's PfH (I admit, I haven't called that many people in WA though). So if you guys are getting 90% positive, that's awesome. It's so much better to pre-process lists using the robo calls instead of a human (PfH)...

I'll make as many calls as I can tomorrow. If you call make sure they are registered by tomorrow. They can do it online. And ask if they know where their caucus is then check for them.

Everyone I reached who was a supporter already knew about the caucus and is planning to attend. One said she would bring 5 others, and another planned to bring 4 friends. More numbers being loaded into the system tonight. There's lots of room for more volunteers to make calls. It takes a little while to catch on to the process and get to the point where you're sailing along, but after that you can get lots of calls done in a short time. It's also fun talking to so many people who like RP. Much different than PFH.

Everyone I reached who was a supporter already knew about the caucus and is planning to attend.

A lot of that probably has to do with the fact that everyone who votes for Ron Paul in the robopoll hears this message:


Attention Washington Ron Paul supporters! We have an urgent message: The only way to vote for Ron Paul to win the Republican nomination is to attend
your precinct's caucus at 9:30am this Saturday, March 3. There will be no voting by mail this year. Register to vote now. Help us deliver a resounding statewide victory for Ron Paul before Super Tuesday, propelling him forward in the Republican presidential race. To receive a text message with more information about how to find your caucus and vote for Ron Paul this Saturday, press 1 now. Otherwise, press 2.

Every Ron Paul supporter who does not press 2 (even if they don't press 1 either) gets this text message:


Please visit http://rp2012.org/wacaucusinfo for information on how to vote for Ron Paul in your Washington GOP precinct caucus at 9:30am this Saturday, Mar 3. Thank you!

(Actually I use a bit.ly link , which I'm not posting here because I want to track clicks.)

The delegate information you have linked to in your website should not be used. That is information on how to become a PCO, which is not relevant to the caucus as the deadline to become a PCO has passed.

I would say something along the lines of "Just volunteer as a delegate when asked. Volunteering may be as simple as raising your hand or speaking up."

RPit
03-02-2012, 01:29 AM
bump.... Probably have identified more than 700 votes in less than 1500 calls...

Remember we got 40,000 votes in '08 in the Primary. If we can just turn them out in this caucus we will win. This means massive voter ID and GOTV effort. That is why robocalls to ID and the phoning for GOTV combination is so effective. No wasting time on non-supporters... Highly targeted GOTV effort. Right here.

If you don't sign up then don't come crying if PPP turns out to be correct.

Assuming we doubled our support from last time like we have done accross the country there would be 100,000 Primary voters we just need a small chunk to WIN, the CAUCUS where not that many show up!!!

Support this massive voter ID effort by donating and then doing the GOTV by calling!!! Read the OP for links to donate and sign up to volunteer. If you sign up to call, PM me your name and the email you used to sign up, I can help you get access faster hopefully.

People are more inclined to do something if it's held off until the last minute, and our voters need to be reminded the day before that their caucus is coming up. If we can get like 25 of us calling tomorrow, we can knock out a large chunk of numbers.

The 5 important points for all my calls have been:
1) Identify them as a supporter
2) Tell them their caucus is Sat @ 9:30am and where it is using WARONPAUL.com
3) Tell them you vote for your candidate on the precinct table sign-in sheet
4) They can register on Friday for Sat using the online method HERE (https://wei.secstate.wa.gov/olvrsite/), but must print their registration and take it with them.
5) If they can, they should stick around after the voting process to caucus and fill any potential delegate vacancies.

That's it, and you can knock out a caller anywhere from 10-40 seconds. Really need to remind our WA supporters tomorrow that their time is now.

Good point.

I persuaded a couple (I think) who weren't sure and informed one or two who thought there was still a primary. Through voicemail, I may have gotten more.

Besides, reminding people increases their probability of going, so in expected value I and everyone else increased results among those who already said yes. Not everyone is as diehard as we are, and would trek through a blizzard to vote for Paul.

Also, drat, I didn't realise you could register the day before and just print out your registration. I had one person who wasn't sure if they were registered. I'll keep that in mind for tonight.

ClydeCoulter
03-02-2012, 07:25 AM
Barrex,

I think calling RP supporters just days away from their caucus is good. For one thing, some did not know before that there was no primary this year. Some seemed to be responsive to the idea that others cared.

Some were considering going, but their schedule was getting in the way. For those, I left them with the idea that Saturday was their chance to get their voice heard, and that I'm sure that they also know how important it is to get Ron Paul in office, that we need him. "Yea, I know" was their response. And I left them with that in mind. Will they go? Maybe our conversation will linger in their minds for Saturday.

If we get 20% of the RP supporters that weren't going to go to then decide to go, those, my friend, are new votes.

This is how its done! If more people did this in more caucus states we would have done much much better.

We had a database system in Clark County Nevada in both 2008 and 2012 that had RP supporters flagged in many cases from robocalls, donations, and other sources. The accessibility and quality of the data was much better in 2008 than this time around but even this year I still found that it was highly productive to hammer all of the low hanging fruit and concentrate on educating and inspiring the already converted to:

1. tell their boss that they MUST skip work on Saturday for a few hours
2. understand exactly where they have to be and when
3. understand the delegate nomination rules
4. understand that they must verify and document the hand count at the precinct level
5. understand that they must stick around and help audit the consolidation of the precinct numbers

I will send a PM to sign up for today. I can only call til about 5 PM Pacific time though.

Its a shame you can't update your database with from other sources at this point such as donation lists.

On the last call the guy was working on his truck, he's not registered, he's computer illiterate, he didn't want to read me the info to find his caucus location for him...
But I shamed him into getting off his ass and voting for Ron.
First he started complaining about the "chickenshits" that won't do anything once they get elected. So I told him Ron was fearless and had brass balls wasn't even afraid of being shot like JFK. That convinced him that the least he could do is let me call him back tonight when his wife gets in front of the machine and she can type all the voter registration in.

Does anybody know if bringing the printed registration is absolutely required for new registrants? Is there anything they can do if they don't have a printer?

That convinced him that the least he could do is let me call him back tonight when his wife gets in front of the machine and she can type all the voter registration in.

Does anybody know if bringing the printed registration is absolutely required for new registrants? Is there anything they can do if they don't have a printer?

Good job (:.

That is kind of my plan if they say they don't want to go, to guilt them into going. RP has been at this for 30 years, but you can't go caucus for him for one day? If that doesn't work, then I will tell them how RP did not even compete in my state and was projected to finish 4th, however I still went to vote for him because that was the least that I could do for the cause of liberty.

I just got 2 more after that one. I didn't have to shame them. The big deal is telling them where and when. I've had 8 commit to going to the caucus so far and I had to look up the locations on votewa.com myself for almost all of them.

On the last call the guy was working on his truck, he's not registered, he's computer illiterate, he didn't want to read me the info to find his caucus location for him...

I don't think any of the 10 commits I got today had any chance of going to the caucus tomorrow. None of them knew where it was.

I would say the most important information you can leave on a short voice message is to go to votewa.com and look up their location.

Here's my voicemail message:

Hello.

This is Wolfgang Bohringer. I'm a grassroots volunteer for Ron Paul with an important message.

There is NO primary or mail-in ballot for the upcoming elections

The only opportunity you have to vote for Ron Paul for the Republican nomination

is to attend your local caucus tomorrow March 3rd.

This is the most important election of our lifetime.

A Ron Paul win in Washington is very possible and will help him gain critical mass.

Please attend the caucus tomorrow.

You can find your caucus location by going to votewa.com and typing in your address.

Thank you.

RPit, one thing I'd edit about your post is that it seems to imply that the robocall asks a yes/no question about whether people support Ron Paul. Fortunately, it doesn't, otherwise the robocall would be turning the entire state against Ron Paul. What it does ask is which candidate people support for president, asking them to enter 1 for Barack Obama, 2 for Mitt Romney, 3 for Sick Rantorum, 4 for Ron Paul, 5 for Newt Gingrich and 0 for Undecided. If people enter 4 for Ron Paul and confirm it, then they are played a message urging them to vote in the caucus. If they confirm another response, then it says, "Thank you for participating; goodbye." So no one except those who vote for Ron Paul know that the robocall is being run to identify Ron Paul supporters.
Proof that robocalling works as intended, the campaign needs to be notified of this approach. This guy had no idea the call originated from the RP campaign!!!

Robo-polled on a Thursday afternoon

Then my cellphone rang, with an “802″ area code. I answered.

“Hello, my name is Robert,” a voice told me. “You have been selected to participated in an automated poll.” He/it went on to ask if I planned on “supporting” (1) President Obama, (2) Mitt Romney, (3) Rick Santorum, (4) Ron Paul, or (5) Newt Gingrich. “0″ was reserved for “other or undecided.”

I found the order a bit odd, but I made my choice. The voice then said, “Thank you for participating. Goodbye.”

Great work on your end we'll keep at it on our too.

For anyone who doubts this method I just got a guy from the 'older' demographic who didn't know much about Paul, didn't know that the only voting was tomorrow and talked to me long enough he's going to be going tomorrow to vote Paul. He wouldn't have been on the 'likely voters' lists but now he's going to be there for us. :D

Thanks to everyone who worked on this (both callers and those who got the ball rolling on robocalling and list compiling). I called several people tonight, and the response rate was great! *MUCH* better than Phone from Home!

Thanks!

This list was awesome!!!!!!!!!! I had soooooo many positive responses and like many have said, a lot and I mean a lot of them had no idea where their causes was being held!!!! This should produce great numbers for Ron Paul tomorrow!!!!!! I can't tell you how many people I got to go vote tomorrow!!!! Excellent list very receptive people!!!!!!!! All were Ron Paul supporters and now everyone I talked to tonight will be going to vote tomorrow!!!!! The only ones who will not attend are the RON PAUL supporters who didn't live in Washington!!!! Which was very very few!!!! Excellent list!!!!! I hope this will make a huge difference tomorrow!!!!

Edit: for all of you Ron Paul supporters who didn't make an effort to call this list SHAME ON YOU!!!!!! if everyone who frequents RPf was to call this list I guarantee you Ron Paul would win!!!!!! That's how good this list was!!!!!!!!!

And that was just a 'portion' of the list, a big portion they have call centers calling them. So we had A LOT (way more than on the spreadsheet) that were identified. The 'list' that this PAC accumulated was more than 13,000 numbers. The spreadsheet has 1400 (yesterday was 1850 i know since i added the numbers, i think they cleaned out the list last night so there might be more supporter)..!!!!

So who knows how much this effort got with all the 13000+ numbers!! (our volunteers+call centers)

With the number people going to the caucus + the people they are taking with them, the numbers are close to 1000 (with only 1400 numbers!!!). So what did the 13000+ numbers produced is anyone's guess!


LET's advance this project for the upcoming states without delay! Now that we recognize how effective this list is, we need to get all the volunteers we can get so that we can do way more than 1400 numbers, maybe 4-5K.. In a States like Idaho, Alaska, and N/S Dakota this could work magic!! (where not many votes are needed!)
