Huckabee's site better at promoting Meetup than Ron's site
We should alert HQ about this problem with Ron Paul's website.
It is very difficult to find out any info about Meetup groups on Ron Paul's website, whereas it is a snap at Huckabee's website. We should be making it much easier for people searching the RP website to find out about Meetup groups.
Let's compare:
1. Huckabee
As soon as you click "Get Involved" you get this page
http://www.mikehuckabee.com/?FuseAction=GetInvolved.Home
On it, it says in big font, "Get involved in a local Huckabee Meetup!"
Below that heading is a big map of all the Huckabee Meetup groups in the US.
Very effective.
2. Ron Paul
If you click on "Get Involved" you see 7 choices in a drop down menu. Not one of these subsections prominently displays information about grassroots Meetup.com groups.
You have only 1 out of 7 chances of picking any page that has anything to do with Meetup groups, and even on that page, it is buried at the bottom of the page, very difficult to notice.
The only page I see about Meetup groups is on this one:
http://www.ronpaul2008.com/get-involved/
But the Meetup info is buried at the bottom of the page in small font, and first you have to read information about
1) Registering as a volunteer on RP2008
2) Ideas as to methods of helping the national campaign
3) Federal laws
4) Grassroots guidelines
5) Merchandise store
6) Rules for placing campaign materials on public property
Only after you get past these 6 things is there any mention of Meetup Groups, and again it is in small font.
Does anybody share my opinion that it would be extremely helpful if the website were fixed so that Meetup Groups were more prominently displayed and accessed to those looking to "Get involved"? - All they have to do is look at Huckabee's site and see how easy it is there to find out about Meetups and change the Ron Paul site to make it just as easy if not easier. What do you think?
