the fact that there are only 18 replies on this thread, what I would consider to be the single most important thing to getting elected, is indicative to me that we will not go higher than 10%

1 - every single ron paul supporter needs to talk to at least 10 people every day, including in their local neighborhoods. Yes this means knocking on doors

2 - a system needs to be in place that ensures an entire state is covered, not just certain areas. the system needs to make sure we dont duplicate efforts, that we follow up with certain people, etc. this seems like it.

i have been knocking on doors in NH. most people make their decisions based on what the msm tells them. we have not choice but to go around the msm and go face to face with people. right now I would say we utilize only 5% of the grassroots potential to get the word out this way. And it does not cost anything unlike ads. if it stays this way we deserve no more than 10%

I am the precinct captain for my area. I have been asking my meetup group to sign up and no on e has yet. My husband wants to badly, but he is active duty and is prohibited (by the military) to be involved in this way (and many other frustraing ways).

Anyway, I agree this and delegate application/election is the way we get Ron Paul elected. There arent a lot of go getters out there. I am going to personally get over offending people. I know a dozen supporters and I want a dozen walking lists. Period.

Grr.

also, I think I am going to be bumping this thread and reposting similar ones as often as possible. If you people dont f*ing SIGN UP, I don't know whats wrong with you. Seriously, how do you think we will win if we dont have lit drops? You're shy and dont want to go door to door? Fine, leave a slim jim, the list will TELL YOU which once to leave. It will TELL YOU if abortion is important to them, or gun rights, or TAXES! If you get a liberal who votes for low taxes, you can convert them.

You can get phone numbers out of the phone book with this list. You can call. You can ogranize and mobalize YOUR OWN NEIGHBORHOOD. Come on.

Sigh. What are you waiting for? This is painless, it is free, you have no obligation, but it gives you POWER. The power of knowing your area, who are they and what is important to them?

details:

we need to flood the boards with this. If every one of those 11,000 people had signed up for this program (or even 1,000 of them) this whole Iowa thing would have been totally different.

You believe in Ron Paul not because someone told you about Ron Paul, but because you heard Ron Paul yourself. If you introduce people to him, you and I both know, his message is irresistible. So don't you want to know how better to arm yourself? Are the people on Dogwood Dr. liberal, what about Ponds End Lane? Are there any gun owners? Are you good at talking to pro-lifers? Want to know where they all live? You can get all the meetups to do this (each member) and give each one a job - you talk to the gun owners, I'll talk to the tax people. Hey, Jake is a pastor, he can talk to the Christians.... got it? You dont have to talk to each person on the list, but you could. Or you could call them. Or you could leave the RIGHT slim jim at their house.

SO, the precinct captain program tells you how to talk to people. It tells you who to talk to. It tells you, gosh, everything. This is how it works: go here:

https://www.ronpaul2008.com/voluntee...teer-training/

Then this will happen: they will ask for your name, address, etc. They will then take you to a screen where it will suggest your "precinct" this just means neighborhood. I was the first to sign up in my area (maybe even city) so I could choose any "precinct." I choose mine. This includes my street, and (don't freak out) a total of about 1100 addresses.

So, once you pick the precinct (you can look at maps of the area, there is a link) they then give you all these cool tools. You get a "walking list." This is the MOST AMAZING thing. It is a list of every address and all the people living there, and the issues important to them, and whether or not they are likely to donate to politics, and a scale of conservatism (1 is liberal 100 is conservative) and exclamation points if they have some sphere of influence in the community.

John Thomas 123 Maple St 77 $$ G T
April Thomas 123 Maple St 89 L
Allison Dark 124 Maple St 12 T
Gregg Dark 124 Maple St 25 !!!

so John is more conservative, is known to donate and we know he is interested in gun rights and taxes. April is even more conservative, and abortion (L for Life) is her issue. Allison and Gregg are more liberal (12 and 25) While she votes for lower taxes and he is "influential." (this could mean he owns a business, is on the school board, is in public office, who knows, but if he is converted, he would be a good source of more votes)

So, there is so much information. There are training videos, and at the end of the walking list it actually tells you how many of each slim jim you need for your precinct. Example, mine says this:

Total Slim Jims needed: 1194
Conservative General Slim Jims needed: 92
Independent General .... 554
Gun Owner ... 181
Life and Liberty...252
Fiscal conservativism.....109
border security....0

and then it says, if you cant get the special issue slim jims, to get
357 conservative and 837 independent.

see? I thought my area was highly conservative, but its more complex than that, and I know that my neighbors across the street are 88 and 96 on the scale (pretty conservative) and next door very liberal (12 and 14).

Don't you want to know these things? Its FREE, its ESSENTIAL. If there is ONE Ron Paul supporter who knows about this and is a) not doing it and b) not making sure everyone else does too, shame on you.

Each of us need ot cultivate 10 votes in our home precincts. But on top of that Iowa taught us that we need to re-contact and TURNOUT those supporters whether it means offering a ride or holding their hand.

Please begin this work immediately.

01-04-2008, 09:11 AM
How to we make suggestions.

The walk lists are not very good in my opinion for two reasons.

1.) The street numbers are not sorted by the first character, not the whole number making the list (especially long streets) confusing.

2.) There is no way to NOT include Dems or 3rd parties who may not be eligible to vote in the primary. This problem makes my list much longer than necessary and difficult to sort through to figure out the best route.

Ethek
01-04-2008, 09:12 AM
The precient list are like a talking voice in your ear! Its great to be able to go into a 'negotiation' with this kind of power.


I would also like to see the information for precinct captains to be publicly available so they can be 'vetted' by other precinct captains. Just so we don't go signing over this kind of thing to a Huck supporter.
