Alright guys, before I forget I want a topic to compile our duties as precinct captains. I'll edit in your posts about the duties of a precinct captain, talking points for the voters, and materials/preparation needed. Lets get some ideas going, and here in a bit I'll try to add in my own.

If this topic catches on, thats cool, if not then at least I'll have some early ideas for my own precinct.

*Where to buy materials*

Currently there is a rumored 4 week delay for the official Ron Paul store. Non-official RP merchandising sites will be posted here. I will try to make a judgement call on all the sites I find as to whether or not they are a scam. I'm not responsible for a scam from any of these sites, and if you just let me know that you have had a bad experience I will gladly take the site off the list.

http://www.ronpaulforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=45 First of all, if you can't find what you are looking for in the links below, it would be good to check here.
www.ronpaulstickers.com - What they sell: Stickers, signs, buttons, magnets, and window clings.
http://www.cafepress.com/buy/ron+paul - What they sell: Random things from long sleeve hoodies to yard signs.
http://www.ronpauldvd.com/ - What they sell: Two different DVDs that cover a variety of Ron Paul's issues and better speeches.
http://www.libertytalk.com/liberty_card.php - What they sell: Two different cards and a variety of other things including Ron Paul's book.

http://shirtmall.com/scripts/prodView.asp?idproduct=2638 - What they sell: Cheap Ron Paul T-Shirts, great for meetup groups to all show their support for Ron Paul fairly inexpensively.

Since we're only supposed to put 1 slim jim at each address, and In order to streamline my list.. I am going to import my PDF into an Excel document that will evaluate the data. It will filter out multiple address, and read in the code lines and lib/con rating to determine which Slim Jim the address gets.

Anything else the Excel doc should do? I'll share it in the forum when it's done.

With the shipping problems I'm hearing about ( some with 4 week delays) how about posting some links of material we can print and pass out?

There's a forum for campaign materials.

Rereading your statement, I guess you meant that I could take the campaign materials from there and add it to this topic. I'm trying to create a topic thats a knowledge base for new precinct captains, like me right here in the forums designated for captain discussion. Thanks for the link!
