New "Return to Roots" Sign Bomb (Jan 7)

[Matt Collins]

In honor of the very first presidential election in our Republic, January 7th will be the day of the Return to Roots Sign Bomb. This is when we paint every town "Ron Paul"

This will mark the anniversary of 1789 where George Washington was elected President of the United States.

Where is a good place to get signs?

[RonPaul2012grassroots]

12 x 24 two sided, two color corrugated plastic signs being sold at cost for the sign bomb - $1.25 to $1.33 each (wire stands extra or make your own) when ordered in bulk lots of 100:

Welcome, Slamhead. We have been known to make our own signs with cardboard and paint. It's more grass-rootsy that way, we think. It's kind of a shame to buy signs and have them ripped down 2 days later so low-budget is definitely the way to go.

I like the idea! Let's do it!

Some people don't have the time to make up hundreds of signs, and some people prefer high quality signs.

If you check out our website, you will note we always encourage folks to put up all manner of signs, both homemade and manufactured in bulk sold at less than wholesale. That's right, you will see some videos at RonPaulgrassrootsHQ.com showing how to make your own homemade signs. I'm sure you overlooked that little detail. ;)

BTW, I'm in touch with a lot of folks around the country. Those who are creative in the placement of their signs are having success with their signs staying up for weeks and months.

They don't get ripped down if you use a ladder. The more difficult it is for you... the less apt it is for '"them" to tear them down.

The coroplast signs stand the test of time and weather. And they are usually more legible.

The reverse lettered "Ron Paul - President '08" are the best . IMO

Utilize trees, abandoned billboards(there are lots of them), fences, telephone poles etc... just put them high.

Trees work really well....

One more thing... i have seen small yard signs that were placed in trees, in the grass, on sign posts all along side the interstates---- believe it or not -- they were very legible. So put up what you've got... Just put'em high if you can!

Another pointer --- place them in unpopulated areas along major highways --- they are less apt to be ridiculed by city inspectors or torn down by Paul bashers.

What?

You can also make your own...Right now is the perfect time to find cardboard. Take it use a roller to paint it white and a brush to paint Ron Paul for President in blue.

I have well over 100 ready to go.

I'm just going to nail them to telephone poles all over the city.

Yes --- YOU are RIGHT! Post what you've got! On my way to Houston the other day I spotted 3 home made signs that were very legible and visible from I-10. It may have cost them $5 . But they gave the campaign hundreds of dollars worth of advertising.

Bump - if this is not part of your meetup make it so.

[Matt Collins]

Anyone doing this? We are doing it in Nashville

[promagma]

Ummm... unless you live in New Hampshire .... why not wait a day and join in on January 8th.

"On January 8th the country will take notice. Ron Paul will win the New Hampshire Primary, and politics in America will change forever… A revolution that has been brewing will boil over."

Because it's easier to get people to do things on the weekend than during the middle of the week.
