This month's Republic Magazine had a wonderful and very simple suggestion for exposing folks to Ron Paul (or activist topics in general) at the one place where they have to stop and take notice; the gas station!
Modern gas pumps are usually equipped with credit/debit card slots, which can easily be filled with Liberty Cards. They have both the exclusive Ron Paul cards, and those neat little Nolan charts, for those who come to fill up their tanks after you. (http://www.libertytalk.com/liberty_card.php) I'm sure that more than a few hapless motorists out there would be very open to a candidate like Ron Paul whose free-market approach to science and technology, matched with a live-and-let-live foreign policy, would be boundlessly conducive to energy independence, thus easing their oil & gas woes! :D
This may be a great guerilla canvassing opportunity for everybody at the local level, but I also have a few reservations; namely, that folks at gas pumps (who are usually in a great big hurry), might be annoyed with what is tantamount to "real-world spam". So, before I start doing this, I want to run it up the flagpole here at RPF and see who salutes.
