Stop Calling Iowa Please - Call Nh Instead

[newmedia4ron]

Don't ask me why but the official staff says stop making calls to Iowans. Lets use our resources to reach out to NH.

[me3]

Do not call NH. The campaign office there has hundreds of people phone banking.

Call another state, like Michigan!

We are we even calling? Letters are better!

[LibertyEagle]

Did anyone contact the Call4Paul folks and tell them?

Yeah- i've gotten dozens of calls in the past few days- iowans are tired of it i think- i focused on canvasing my last few days instead. lets see how it pays off! 1 hour till GAME TIME!

Who are the calls from our campaign?

We have that under control...

[Driftar]

Who are the calls from our campaign?

No EVERYONE- and im not on any call list, except perhaps Ron Pauls. Ive gotten everything from Obama to Hillary to Romney to Huckster.

YES!!

We have decided not to focus on NH as that is already well handled. We are focusing on Michigan, S.C. and Neveda.

True. No NH. That is already covered.

[Lord Xar]

Did anyone contact the Call4Paul folks and tell them?

We have a first rate operation. I have no doubt that perhaps a few people will complain if 500,000 people are contacted. But given the fact that of the following, I am VERY skeptical on 'who' is actually to blame.

1. They can NEVER the supply the message or the phone number from where it is originating.
2. IT IS ALWAYS vague. Not sure, "someone" is complaining etc...

They did this in NH -- we weren't even phone calling NH.. yet we were 'accused'. Stupid. Now, we could very well be involved in Iowa.. but I am sure there is no less than 4 or 5 concurrent phone things going on right now in Iowa. One being ours. But with ours, they can complain to OUR phone people by pressing 1 OR remove from the list by pressing 9 -- SO, I am confused.. why?

1. Because instead of just removing themselves from the list OR speaking to one of our supporters. the "complainer" hangs up, finds rons iowa office and then complains there... To me, that sounds off. But, I will adherer to wishes and I believe we have stopped the calls. Now hopefully, others will too.

some people just ain't got nothin' better to do.

some people are just crazy.

i hate using the phone, and rarely do (probably b/c i've worked in and outbound call centers)

...i got nothin' but love for someone who would "call for paul"

good luck w/ michigan (i remember calls being rough in mi)!

[Adamsa]

How about we stop calling Iowa and NH for a while? Try South Carolina or Nevada.

[me3]

What we need is information on where the campaign is phone banking, so we don't overlap.

Maybe we should be phone banking NY or Alaska.

[sluggo]

Hit SC hard.

[Lord Xar]

good luck w/ michigan (i remember calls being rough in mi)!

that was a first run. We were and still experiment with what works, what doesn't... what generates press thru's - what doesn't etc... grassroots sounding better, or are professional quality better etc...

its a process - and sometimes it takes a few small runs to target an area effectively.

[Badger Paul]

Yes, Call Michigan now!
