When Life hands you lemons, make lemonade!
Or, in our case... SPAM!
Coordinate a National Food Drive Day by the RP meetups... where ALL the groups make as big a collective donation of food supplies to Food Groups across the country as possible.
A week before "The Day"... everyone make as much "noise" about your local participation as possible to ALL of your local media outlets identifying the recipient(s) of the donations, and try for as much publicity coverage as possible.
The local angle is the novel approach... the National "SPAMMING Hunger in America!" Day.
And EVERYONE involved, besides whatever other foods are donated, donates one can of SPAM. At the "official" donation photo-op, have ALL the SPAM stacked together in the front. And of course, wear your RP gear.
Obviously, something like this will generate major buzzage. So when asked WHAT is behind the event, we can say that Ron Paul supports private community efforts over federal government involvement... and we're here to prove that RP's traditional ideas work just as well today as they did before the Fed got involved decades ago.
If you know riders in the local chapters of biker clubs in your community, and can arrange a rally in conjunction, even better. Many communities actually arrange for police escorts of large rallies... and a hundred motorcycles in formation always looks impressive. Many bar owners are inclined to get involved in such events as well, especially when you make their establishment one of the checkpoints.
I'm thinking the weekend before Ames would be a good date. Kick up the buzzage right before Iowa.
:D
