I'm so happy i thought i would share the story with u guys....for months i've been trying to convert my grandfather....who relies on the newspaper, T.V. , and radio for news because he has never touched a computer in his life....His wife, who really doesn't care for politics anymore becuz she has been disappointed so much...and my uncle who also doesn't care anymore becuz of past presidents....
Somehow I started talking to my grandfathers wife about learning new things (he is remarried) and I stated that I have been learning a lot about politics lately and i'm starting to love the process...she said she gave up a while ago...and i said u need to read about Ron Paul and u will just love it....gave her the intelligent politician speech...were we finally have one running...told her what he wants to do...she didn't believe that it could be done until i explained it to her....then she loved it....all along my uncle was listening and he loved it as well....they both agreed to let me bring them more information later becuz "he sounds like he really cares" and....they saw this "Crazy" passion about a politician and would have never thought i would care so much about a politician....
After i finished talking to her and my uncle, my grandfather walks into the room and she mentions RP to him....he goes oh yeah i remember you told me about RP about a month ago...i been looking into him and this guy is really a smart man isn't he....he also said he has been seeing and hearing more and more about him lately and believes he will have an impact in the election...
All in all I really believe I got 3 new voters that usually wouldn't vote!!!! other than my grandfather, who didnt know what to do this election, and my grandfather is a well established man and I know he will spread the word and people will listen!!!!
Haha sorry for the story, just happy becuz it took my a while to convince them but i got it done!
