I participated in and was completely amazed at Nov 5th, and I'm very excited about Dec 16th. The energy being devoted to this effort and the cooperation is absolutely amazing.
But, dollar bills can't vote in the voting booth. Only people can. 80%+ of us understand that people are important (see poll here (http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?t=35160)), so I'm hopeful this message will stir up interest in a small project.
I'd like to put together a website like Dec 16th to register people across the nation who will vote for Ron Paul. Theoretically, the subscribership should be much larger because there's no money being pledged.
This is absolutely important because we need to see where we are to devote resources to those areas needing it most. I'd like someone to sign up anonymously and select his/her state. We can all then see where we are measured against where we need to be. We can easily calculate a goal for each state. For example:
In my county, 25% of registered voters are Republican. In 2004, only 20% of all voters voted in a primary. Assuming even distribution, that means
25% * 20% = 5%
of all registered voters voted in a Republican primary. Even if my county were 50% Republican, we'd only 10% of all voters voting in the Republican primary. This means a Republican primary will be very easy to sway if we can motivate just a minority of people to vote for Ron Paul. In the case of my county, getting just 5% out of the remaining 95% would guarantee a win for Ron Paul. Heck, Ron Paul would probably win my county with just 2-3%.
I know it is possible to get voters in all parties energized for Ron Paul because 1) I never voted in a primary before and plan to do so now and 2) I recently sent in my voter registration to switch Republican from Democrat just to vote for Ron Paul. Everyone I know who hears his message gets motivated.
I've never set up a website and need your help! Who can help me?
