I'm assuming you can not place official campaign materials on a college campus

[ZzzImAsleep]

....but you could hand slim jims out to people, right?

[jrich4rpaul]

I placed slim jims all over my campus. There were no problems.

This is a rEVOLution. The old-media is manipulating the minds of the masses. The other candidates are scum and you're not sure if its okay to distribute Ron Paul flyers on campus?!!

;) :D :D :D :D :p

I just dont want to get myself or the campaign into trouble. I wasnt sure what the rules were about placing official material on campus property.

Campus property is PRIVATE. Not public.

You can post anything you want, as long as their rules don't say otherwise.
Local city/state laws don't apply as they would to a PUBLIC place.

If you mean putting signs up on the walls, then it's probably not a good idea. But if you're placing literature on every table and bulletin board, then it's perfectly fine.

Assert your damn rights. Bring a copy of the Bill of Rights if you have to.

Didn't they teach you in school the Constitution is the "supreme law of the land"? It supersedes all other laws, remember?

[colecrowe]

Just ask someone who works at the University, usually the "director of groups and events" or somesuch--universities usually have very liberal policies about this kind of stuff--ours lets anyone post stuff on poles as long as it gets taken down and you can get permits for all the bulletin boards by a 2 minute visit to their office.

You shouldn't have any problems. They're great places for us.

Our local community college provided us with a table when we signed up for a weekly spot. We handed out literature, registered people to vote, etc. It was very positive and just before Xmas there was a definite increase in excitement from the students.

Contact them and see if they have a similar program.

[Ron2Win]

I "forgot" some literature at a post office during Christmas time....

[rajibo]

Place official campaign materials wherever the hell you want.

Civil Disobedience if nothing else.

It's more efficient to hand people the fliers. Just walk down the street, smile, and say "Ron Paul for President" while giving it out. If you do it right, everyone takes one.

[Psyclone]

At most universities, they have bulletin boards in their buildings on which anyone can post anything, so you should go ahead and put up fliers on those boards. Be careful, though. Most universities also have boards where posting is restricted to university business, so as long as you don't post on them, everything should be fine.
