I have more people then I can call in my Cedar Rapids Iowa precinct...and after 60 calls have not had a respondent willing to help take part of my list. If there is anyone available to help call today, please PM me with your email address. Only requirements are that you can make the calls immediately (between 11am and 4pm central time) and that you have a decent number of posts on this forum.

Anything helps - I'd be happy to send as few as 10 or 20 numbers. There is a script to follow and all I need back is if the call got through, and if they responded in a positive or negative way.

This has got to be one of the most efficient ways you can help Ron Paul win the nomination. My county is falling behind in people willing to make phone calls.

no PM's. I'll keep going, but I really doubt I'm going to get through this list.

Don't people need to have an Iowa area code, to take part in this calling?

no - any area code is fine. Doesn't have to be Iowa as long as you can call long distance (which all cell phones can).

I posted your request on the national meetup board

I know it is tough guys.

I know making phone calls is awkward and outside of your comfort bubble.... but I sincerely believe this when I say:

There is nothing better you could do with your time or money then make these Iowa people on my list right now.

I know what you mean- i'm working through a list of my own, and will be intensively after christmas and until the caucus. Have you contacted the local meetups to try to get local volunteers?

I have a thread of my own on a similar topic... http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?p=694718#post694718

If you have time, comment on my cold calling methods and any ideas would be appreciated. Although i'm sorta learning today by trial and error.

I'm trying to get as many as possible this afternoon because a half hour long tv special on Ron Paul will be on in 3 hours. I am adding "watch channel 2 at 6:30 pm to almost all of my calls".

Any help would be appreciated. So far I'm still going solo.

I got 141 calls made.

I'm skeptical RP will be able to get a top 4 finish in my precinct.

There's a lot more help coming in from out west and other places after christmas so stick with it and thanks for your efforts and keep in touch. I would have helped kicked in a little today but it doesn't always fit in with family schedule.

I already asked for help with my 500+ list. No takers.

If you're desperate, check this out:

Record a message and get touch tone responses, about 10 cents per call. I was going to do it today, but the stupid site needed a fax with my credit card info instead of on-line. I still might use them even though I'm pretty peeved about getting shot down when I was so pumped to get it going.

Here's a similar service, but you need to give money before you get as far into it, so you don't know exactly what you're getting:
