I hate to say it but standing on street corners and waving signs is quite piss-poor for a group of people who are supposed to be passionate and creative. Lets try some brain storming to come up with some cheap, quick and simple things that can get the RP msg out in addition to canvassing. Agreeded that cavassing is best, but what about the part time paulites, or things one can do in their daily life?
Here are some ideas, plz add to them:
1) placing small ads in local papers dirt cheap, and pointing them to where then can find more info, or obtain some campaign materials (remember local rags are generally read by offliners, so emails and web pages are prolly not good content)
2) droping slim jims off in stacks of 'free flyer' racks. Like at grocery stores, doctor's/dentist offices, the dmv, waiting rooms at train stations, public msg boards at your local library. These are all locations u visit in daily life. So they don't take more of your time. in fact always carry a stack and look for unexpected places to drop a handful.
Get creative, get practical. There were 2 low points for me in NH. Hearing about kids chasing sean hannity and throwing snowballs, and this douche pulling out every one's signs the day of the elections (except ron pauls), when he should have been getting out the vote. We need to reach out to average people, on their bandwidth...not ours.
Other ideas?
