please everyone... so far this is the ONLY proven method that actualy works to get votes for paul.

everyone needs to be doing this from here on out.

this is why that county won in the Iowa caucus. this is how every county could win if you just collect a little cash to put out cheap ads in a local papers.

Jefferson County precinct results:

We need to learn from Jefferson County that advertising in local papers works. They had 35% for Ron Paul there just by running cheap ads in local papers week after week. Our founding fathers sold the constitution via local papers with the Federalist Papers. We need to do the same.

From one of the meetups in Jefferson County....

Few people in Jefferson County read the Des Moines Register so ad buys there don't reach the rural folk hardly at all. The small local papers have very little political advertising and would love to have the business. And it is CHEAP. We had an ad in the weekly paper 8 column inches for $55 a week for 13 weeks straight. And change the ad every week. We ran larger ads in the daily paper as well. Some are at:

We did a newspaper insert printed 2 sides letter size paper - RIDICULOUSLY CHEAP way to reach 2500 people - so much cheaper than direct mail. Those mail items the campaign sends must have cost a fortune, by comparison an insert cost us $150 to reach 2500 plus $120 for photocopying or under 11 cents per household. These local orientated messages I think are way more effective than direct mail.

Also, take a look at the ads they ran.

They got out Ron Paul's message.

Everyone go to your meetup page and send a personal note to your organizer.

There is a repository of everyone's ads that has been setup..

http://ads4paul.com

We need to start feeding this so everyone has ads to choose from.

im spending 100 dollars over the next 4 weeks in the local papers here in my county. im going to run a diffrent ad each time targeting diffrent subjects.

i get a quarter page ad for 25 bucks in my county.

i urge all of you to do the same. this is how we can really win.

not to diss the idea... but Jefferson county has a pretty unique demographic. I think it is a good idea, but the effectiveness is probably overstated.

critics aside... this is the only thing that has actualy proven to provide voter turnout for ron paul.
