[JoshLowry]

Here is a way to get 250 Ron Paul hand outs for $5.25, they are business cards that you can hand out to everyone you see.


Step 1: Go to http://www.vistaprint.com/vp/ns/bcfree.aspx?xnav=TsrItem&xnav=TsrImage

Step 2: Select Page 4 for the American Flag design.
http://www.stateofbrain.com/images/flag.gif Step 3: Select the American Flag Design

Step 4: Fill in the blanks like so:
RonPaul2008.com

He is Pro Privacy & Pro Habeas CorpusStep 5: Sign your initials in the box and go to the next page where you fill out your information. You will need to provide an email address.

Step 6: Select "250 Free" and click next. Select shipping. You need to select "Slow: 21 Days - $5.25"

http://www.stateofbrain.com/images/nolabels.gif


If it says more than $5.25 on the "Accept Without Labels" choice then go back and make sure you didn't add anything.


Step 9: You're done!

All they charge you for is the Shipping and Handling ($5.25) for 250 cards.

Please take 15 minutes out of your day and do this, Dr. Ron Paul is on a time limit and the clock is ticking. If you have any questions please post. I have ordered mine and they are on the way. Shipping takes 21 days, so get your bottom in gear!
http://www.stateofbrain.com/images/card.gifOf course if you are handing them out in a Democratic populated area, you can change:

"Vote 4 Republican Dr. Ron Paul" to "Vote for Dr. Ron Paul"

Let them figure out he is Republican after they like him.

That is a really hard deal to beat. You could buy $10 worth and just walk around for a couple of hours, even if only 10% take note that would be 50 more people who could spread the word.

[LRitz]

Just ordered some of these....gotta have something to give out to people. Thanks for sharing!

[ronpaulitician]

1000 of 'em are on their way to my doorstep (14 days, since it was only $3 bucks more than 21 days). Also added a backside to mine for $9.99.

Nice! After placing the order, I received 500 bonus cards for only $3.74.

Total for 1500 cards, with backside, shipped to me in 14 days: $44.67, or about $0.03 a piece.

Nice :D

I'll have to use my cards wisely.

[ratsbew]

I just posted this thread to Digg, not only will it drive traffic to the forums, but hopefully people will buy some cards.

[tnvoter]

this is a must, i will be ordering some this week for when i go out to concerts/bar etc

[literatim]

Thought I would bump this for more people to see.

[JoshLowry]

I actually got mine in the mail today. Shipping said 21 days, but it only took 8.

I highly recommend getting more than 250, these are a great way to spread the word.

[zMtLlC]

I just got mine in yesterday and began handing them out. They look great, and people can actually keep them because of their size.

Everyone should get some!

[Mobber]

awesome!
thanks!

I ordered mine today and am spreading the word on myspace about this offer.

I ordered 500 and Mine will say:

RonPaul2008.com
Vote for Dr. Ron Paul
The well documented facts
Voted against the Patriot ACT, Iraq War and National ID.
Never voted to raise taxes
Never voted to increase government
Rights belong to individuals, not groups.
Saving the constitution!

(yes I am putting my page because it contains the most information in one spot and links to all his other official pages.)

[Razmear]

Does anyone have a PDF or other file that can be used by folks at home to print their own cards or flyers?
A ream of copy paper goes for about 5 bucks, so that would be 1000 half page or 2000 quarter page handouts / windshield flyers that could be used to get the word out for about $15 including ink.

Just a thought,

Alternately, somone has designed a card specifically for Ron Paul, complete with his Picture for face recognition. These are double sided and as low as 4 cents each if you buy enough. Go to the bottom of this page: http://www.libertytalk.com/liberty_card.php

[acstichter]

Great idea!
I took your design as an inspiration and made some changes that I think will appeal to the community in my area. I added a picture and added a statement from Ron Paul's website to the back.

I ordered 5000!!! They're cheaper in bulk (only 2 cents each with shipping and everything)

If anybody wants some of these design, e-mail me and I'll send some to you.

Instead of donating to me, donate to Ron Paul and hit the streets. Find the people who are upset about loss of liberty, neocon foreign policy or taxes that steals the future of our grand children.

[Mobber]

Here is a even sweeter deal!!!

So i ordered 10 sets.

[zorotrav]

Thanks JoshLowry, can't wait to hand out mine. ;)

[ThePieSwindler]

I'd suggest complementing these witha Ron Paul t-shirt, so when people see in big red letters "Ron Paul 2008" they ask "who's ron paul" or "what does that guy stand for" or "how is that guy going to save this country?" etc, you tell them a bit, and hand them one of these handouts for more info. Its a nice way to prompt people without actually aggressively passing handouts everywhere.

[ronpaulitician]

Exactly. I put a bumper sticker on my work station's monitor. "Who's Ron Paul?" someone asked the very day I put the sticker up.

I think we should think about getting a bit more organized in regard to the shirts, business cards, etc. I'm sure one of the Ron Paul supporters either owns and operates, works at, or knows someone who works at, a printing shop that procudes such items, and we should be able to standardize our approach. If we all wear one and the same shirt, all hand out similar business cards, etc., and get all those items in bulk, we can be more efficient and more effective.

[Abby]

Leave a Ron Paul "business card" on the table with your tip at restaurants, in the canister when you go through the drive-through at the bank, on community bulletin boards like at schools or grocery stores, on the treadmill at the gym, on tables in the waiting room at doctors' offices, and anywhere else you can think of!!

I just ordered 250 of these to distribute at Bonnaroo

[angelatc]

Nice! After placing the order, I received 500 bonus cards for only $3.74.



I didn't get that. :( I got an offer of 250 for $7.49, with free shipping. But I didn't spring for the backside either.

I'll take the free offer again though - it's better than that add-on.

I had to adjust JoshLowry's design a little. That "line 4" trick didn't break right for me, and I decided to omit the gun control line altogether, because this is the heart of liberal land.

Line 4 doesn't break right, but just make Line 3 have two lines worth of info and it will carry over to fil in the gap!!

[ronpaulitician]

I'm ordering 10,000 for $163.51 ($0.016 per card) with the following text:

On the front:

RonPaul2008.com
Vote for Dr. Ron Paul
Brief Overview
Voted against Iraq War
Voted against Patriot Act
Never voted to raise taxes
Never voted to increase government
Opposes Internet regulation
Opposes War on Drugs
Opposes torture
Supports non-interventionist foreign policy
Supports habeas corpus

On the back (additional $9.99 flat)

for articles by Congressman Paul visit
www.ronpaullibrary.org

Live in California, and think the "Opposes War on Drugs" will go over better than "Never voted for gun control". Had to leave the "congressional pay" and "unbalanced budget" out because of character length issues.

[JoshLowry]

Careful, they go quick. :D

Got all of mine passed out already. Put a lot out at our last "traffic jam" They are good little cards. Glad to hear about others doing the same.

[acstichter]

Great to see everybody getting the cards.

My 5000 came in today and they look great! Added a pic, Color and 2 sided for $100.

Will be attending first meetup and sharing with the group. Will look for big crowds like fairs or such. Lots of Freedom loving people here in AZ!

Go Ron!

[anewvoice]

Just ordered 1250 and 100 matching post cards to mail out to locally identified folks. (got a free stamp too, can't beat it)

Can't wait!

[ronpaulitician]

Yeah, the free stuff comes in handy. Just wait till they send you an e-mail with an offer of all kinds of free stuff. Business cards, stamps, postcards, etc. You just end up paying for shipping, but you can get a bunch of freebies.

[winston84]

Thanks, I just placed an order! This is an inexpensive and effective way to get the word out about RP!

[austinphish]

Just a suggestion to put on your cards:

-Join the Revolution at meetup.com
-www.ronpaul2008.com

We here in the Austin meetup.com group already have a ton of stuff to hand out, probably more than we can handle, but this thread is really good for individuals.

[austin356]

I am from the deep deep south where the war is not extremely unpopular. We claim to like states rights and small gov (yet somehow still think Bushie fits this)......

So can someone give your opinion on this card appealing to southern conservatives? I am about to buy 10k and dont want to have zero other input.

Suggestions are not only welcomed, but asked for.........

Add rated as "Taxpayer's friend" for 10 consecutive years by the NTU, if possible.

Always votes for more funding for veterans.

Yea, I would change the title as well as adding something about taxes.

I had a few people ask me what he was running for. I didn't realize I forgot to say that til after I had them.

Put 'For President in 08' or something to that effect on the card in a prominent position.

My cards were handed out easily, but I don't know what people thought about them. They should go fast. ;)

[austin356]

^&^^ Thanks for the suggestions. I did them and it made the card a good bit better.

Now in the cart they go, in the mail they come, to the group for distribution they will go.


something on the side though:

It is extremely sad that "pro-HC" is even a topic..... That would be unimaginable just a few years ago (except to the AEI)

[austin356]

How the hell am I going to pass out 10000 of these?

Am I super man for RP?

Lets find out!

[Birdlady]

I am pasting this into every thread about Vistaprint. Beware!

I wanted to warn some of you about vistaprint.com They are known to sign you up for memberships to things without your knowledge. They also share your credit card information with others.

I think that has to do with the "free gifts" at the end of the transaction. Just don't click yes or accept the offer.

[Birdlady]

I still think people need to be aware that this company is known to do fraudulent charges to credit cards.

From what I read, they steal your information at the checkout page where a survey pops up. Whether or not you fill out that survey your information is taken.

:(

[winston84]

Thanks for the heads up, I don't remember signing up for or adding on any extra shit. Now I gotta keep a close watch on my card...

[EvoPro]

I got 1500 of them. I think I will place many of them on the driver side door of all cars in parking lots, between the window and the rubber.

[ShaneC]

I've been slipping some under the windsheild wipers of cars.

[Wyurm]

well, I just ordered 500, then saw the warnings about Vista Print. Oh well, I'll just have to watch my card very closely.

[CJLauderdale4]

I just bought 1000 and got the extra 25 free magnets!!
I too unchecked the "sign me up for extra crap" checkbox...
Hope my email doesn't start getting bombed now...

[Bryan]

Thanks for the note birdlady- I'll keep an eye out but went ahead and order some of the basic ones- here's my design:

http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa194/bryanxt/livepreview.jpg

If these go fast my next batch will be for 5,000 and I'll add a picture. Hope I didn't have any grammatical errors. :)

[austin356]

5000 from Vista Print. Custom front/back w/ picture. Very good job. Only thing to point out is that the writing does not show up as well over the blue part of the flag in real life as it does on screen. So keep messages towards the white!

They separate their cards into packs of 250, if anyone was wondering for group distribution.

Other than that, great job. I ordered last week and they got here today. The ETA was next month!

I would recommend these jobs from my experience w/ them. But I have yet to come across those fraudulent charges talked about above; if such happens that will change my mind!!

[winston84]

I just received my pack of 250 cards today, just as expected. No signs of any fraudulent charges. I plan on ordering from Vista Print again once I run out :)

[joshuainmn]

I've ordered these free things from VistaPrint before. You ARE automatically signed up for their service membership crap, and WILL be charged $10 a month. But, if you call when it first shows up, you can raise a shitfit and they'll unsubscribe you and refund your money.

P.S. People should work together on these. The more you order, the cheaper they are. Also, they always have "order more" offers a few weeks later that let you restock for around 1/3 the price.

Just sayin...

I ordered mine over a month ago and have received no such charges.

[ronpaulitician]

I ordered mine over a month ago and have received no such charges.
Me neither.

It's a matter of reading the "fine print" before eagerly accepting what looks like a discount.

[angelatc]

I've ordered from Vistaprint several times befoer this and never been added to a $10 per month club of any sort.

I saw of the libertycards.com at our parade, and I was impressed. They're glossy, and look really nice.

[Lord Xar]

I like the libertyprint ones too.. BUTTTTTT, there are no bulleted points on the back to denote his beliefs. I dig that he is 'very' popular and their are ratings.. BUT, perhaps they can add some bulleted points on the back or something???

anybody know if libertycards plan on doing this?

If you can make your own artwork, NetPrint24.com has very inexpensive business cards. 5,000 for $75. Download their template and use PhotoShop to make your card. Full color, both sides. Great cards, have been using them for years.

[Michele]

this is a must, i will be ordering some this week for when i go out to concerts/bar etc
If you meet a hottie who asks for your number, give it to them on one of these bad boys! You know they'll look up info on Ron so they can ask you good questions when they call. And these are also great for those fish bowl contests you see everywhere. Stick on an address label, drop it in, and get the word out on Dr. Paul. You might even win a free pizza lunch :) Instant business cards!

[LinuxUser269]

[Energy]

What a great idea.

I'm leaving some in public bathrooms.

[Corydoras]

These can be also valuable as adjuncts to your main cards if you deal a lot with people of a group that has a targeted website such as ronpaulparapresidente.com or truckers4ronpaul.org
