On November 2nd I woke up with the idea in the middle of the night and couldn't shake it. When I woke up I posted it to the few meetup groups I am a part of and received very encouraging feedback to pursue the idea. And so I did, I finished it and now I want to pass it out to any Ron Paul supporter who could use it.
Here is the gist of what was posted on November 2nd: We should organize a little skit to go along with handing out the Slim Jims when doing so in places of large crowds coming and going like shopping malls, Walmart Parking Lots, Standing outside events, etc.
This is the idea:
The characters: Thomas Jefferson (TJ) and an Uneducated Citizen (UC)
Scene: The Street or wherever we are handing out slim jims - mall, etc; everyday America
Background: Thomas Jefferson has just been handed a Slim Jim and is reading it while walking -thus not watching where he is going. The Uneducated Citizen has also received one from one of the other someone else from an opposite direction and is doing the same. They bump into each other. The UC looks up and recognizes who he is and starts telling him he's confused as to who he should be supporting as a candidate! He is torn between what to believe about the War, the economy, trade. He is being told so many different things, but doesn't know what direction to head in!
TJ's response is filled with quotes that apply - things he, himself said a couple hundred years ago - that are pasted together to form the conversation.
UC wants to go with what the Founding Fathers said for our country because he/she knows that the principles our country were established on are for all time and are what will work best for us. So, who should he vote for?
TJ looks down at the Slim Jim and says something like, "I think I have your answer RIGHT HERE! THIS is the man that is your Hope, and everyone's Hope for America! Help Save the Constitution - the the document that I hold so dearly! Vote for Ron Paul and do everything you can to see him on your Party's Ticket!"

If it is too long - shorten it. I just couldn't figure out what to leave out. Youtube it and let's see it in action!
