I live in a very poverty stricken majority black community which isn't far off from living in a 3rd world country (no joke).

I need slim jims that focus more on what Ron would do to help the poor black communities and ones that might have a picture of a black person on the slim jim itself.

Thanks for any information on where I might be able to find something I can use in my area.

I was curious to see who people were donating too in my area and come to find out, there is only 1 person in my entire zip code that has donated to any presidential candidate other than myself.

i'd help you by making a flier myself but my bootlegged photoshop doesnt seem to work anymore =(

but my main recommendation is to make your own flier and just photocopy at the nearest kinko's

make sure you talk about how he wants to end the "war" on drugs and release all non-violent drug offenders from prison

Actually Columbus Ohio, but if you stayed a couple nights in my house you'd think you were in Iraq with all the gun shots. My daughter won't even sleep in her own bed anymore because she's so scared at night. It's out of control.

I'm looking for slim jims that focus mostly on things like:

Ending the war on drugs
Releasing inmates from prison convicted of non-violent crimes
Ending the war and using the money to help those here at home that are in need
Ending the Federal Income Tax


Don't want anything that talks about ending the welfare state since most of these people are likely on welfare.

Need something that talks about how Ron will help those who live in these poverty and crime sticken areas.

-ending the Inflation tax because the folks on welfare are the ones most hurt by inflation
-legalizing hemp to revitalize American Manufacturing and create new jobs for some of the poorer sectors of the economy

Not really what I am looking for.

I don't think many people understand the nature of what my community is like. In fact, I know that most people do not understand because I was one of those people before moving the city and buying my home.

These people are so oppressed, they have lost hope and have given up on trying to be a part of this society. I doubt the majority of them would understand most of the things on that list.

Need to focus on subjects that would hit home with the oppressed and those abused by law enforcement.

Also, not looking for something for 'medical marijuana' since most of the people smoking where I live smoke recreationally. Medical cannabis isn't something that would apply to them.

The area I live in, every few houses on the streets are boarded up from drug raids. It is pretty depressing. The people who used to live across the street from me grew weed in their attic till last summer when the DEA raided them and boarded up the house. They were actually pretty nice people.

Dr. Paul believes that waiters, waitresses, and other service-sector workers should not have to pay taxes on the tips they earn. This slim jim also showcases why Congressman Paul is called the “Taxpayers’ Best Friend.”

Perfect for your next visit to any restaurant, the “No Taxes on Tips Slim Jim” is printed on two-sides on glossy card stock, measures 3.5" by 8.5", and is a convenient and handy informational piece for sharing with your friends, hostesses, and servers!

There aren't any restaurants in my area. They would be robbed. Can't even get pizza delivered to my area due to the high rate of pizza delivery robbery. I was a victim of armed robbery twice within a 3 year span in my neighborhood.

Most of those in my area probably are unemployed or work minimum wage temporary jobs. It is a very depressed area and very high volume of crime and violence.

Let me tell you, I completely understand. I live in inner city Baltimore, were cocaine and heroine is the only thing that's important around here. Honestly hardly anyone in my hood knows what a primary is...and i'm being completely honest right now. I just talk to whoever I can and try to explain as much as I can, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't

people in the "hood" are likely to feel that drugs are part of their problems and wouldnt respond well to any calls for drug legalization

it should focus on these issues:

Crime: Our law enforcement community will not be able to remove violent offenders from our streets while our national policy is biased towards using them to pursue nonviolent offenders. Ron Paul would focus the national attention on the violent offenders that are given a get out of jail card by our squandered taxes.
Education: Children have become disinterested in education because schools are encouraged, by programs like George Bush's No Child Left Behind act, to teach to the test. Ron Paul would end teaching to the test, involve parents in the educational process, and develop with our teachers an education system that would reengage our children's interest in education.
Infrastructure: It is insane that we are destroying and rebuilding bridges in Iraq while bridges in the US are in disrepair. Ron Paul would end the war in Iraq and use the trillions of dollars saved to reinvigorate the US economy.

The Columbus meetup group is very good

You might try touching base with them to see if they can hook you up with any slim jims or have any ideas.

Ive made a few issue specific flyers myself before the campaign finally started to produce them. The hardest part is really the research and deciding what is best to include. If you can provide me with everything you think is important-specific to Ron Paul's platform (things he has done-things he will do) and maybe an overall theme for it then i would be happy to draw something up for you. Normally i would be quick to do the research myself but I'm in SC and am a local organizer so time is really precious here... our primary being like two weeks away and all.

Hits upon several issues that may play in the 'hood.

*anti-war
*solvency of social security (plays everywhere)
*refocuses oversees expenditures into maintaining promises made towards the domestic agenda
*civil liberties & I.D. card (for the oppressed, + plays everywhere)
*mentions race and the idea of a big tent (but no black faces on the slim jim)
*blurb on front going to character (gave free medical service to those who couldn't afford it)
*military and VA matters would work in area with high recruitment

It would be great if there was a easily digested flier on his monetary policy. These folks probably don't have stocks or commodities, but they understand that the sinking value of the dollar and rising prices is a "regressive tax".
