Ron Paul Fact Campaign Idea

[slydecix]

One of the big hurdles we face is that a huge portion of the country still doesn't know about Ron Paul. Or maybe they've heard the name and they've seen all the signs, but they still don't who Ron Paul is, or what he stands for.

However, Googling Ron Paul or distributing a pamphlet potentially presents them with a lot of information - almost to the point of overload. There's a lot to take in and keep up with. So I'm thinking, maybe we can spread the facts in bite-sized chunks and key in on some of the quicker/easier-to-explain bits to get people hooked. The red pill that makes it easier to dive into the rabbit hole, if you will.

Maybe something like this:

Imagine coordinating this so that wherever they go, they'll learn something new about Dr. Paul's beliefs and policies. Any thoughts?

Perfect! Just like those old Burma-Shave billboards (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burma-Shave#Roadside_billboards). Those are legendary.

To make this work, we need to do the following

1) Narrow down on a "recommended" list of maybe the best 6-8 points. They should all be clear, concise.
2) Build a site to track the placement of these banners - that way we can see which areas are missing banners and collectively fill in the blanks. Something like this:

Maybe this thing can track all the lawn signs too. We can map out all the grassroots advertising and see where we need to do more of it!

3) Get everyone on board!!!

I can do the design/html/css if someone can build the backend. Let's do this!!!

Trying to track everything is too complex, requires the voluntary compliance of everyone involved, and is also unnecessary.

I do agree that we should have a brief period where everyone proposes Facts to be used, and collaborate on improving the wording and pushing the better ones to the top (don't spend too much time on this). After that, it is simply a matter of someone putting up a page with the graphics, and maybe offering to sell pre-made ones, and then everyone can take over from there by doing what we do best - decentralized local action. :)
