A PLAN OF ATTACK:
This primary can be won by Ron Paul. We all know that it is about the message. However, many of us know that we can still elect the messenger.
Our morale is being tested. The question is, would it be a revolution if it wasn't? Our numbers may still be relatively few, but our passion is unmatched. Remember that Ford said that Reagan was unelectable a quarter century ago. Two Bushes, one Clinton and one giant mess later, we can make the unelectable, elected once again.
We knew this would be a fight. We all have great ideas. Some make videos, some put up signs, others go precinct walking. We have already won on the internet and are winning on the streets, yet we have not seen our passion reflected in the polls.
The establishment thinks they can stop us. They think they can persuade the American voter to accept their interests. If we are going to beat them, we need to use our commitment when and where it really matters: Election Day.
Our strength is our enthusiasm for the pursuit of peace, liberty and happiness.
Paul Supporters: money, blimps and blogs alone will not win this election. At a time when our poll results have not been enough, we need to put our advantages on the offensive. The time is now.
Results Show: Paul supports are spread out. As you can see from the Iowa caucus results, we are everywhere. In almost every precinct, there are Paul supporters, dedicated enough to attend a caucus. We can use this to our advantage. [1]
In South Carolina, one-third of those Republicans who did express support for candidates said they might change their minds in the final hours as did 22 percent of Democrats. [2]
We don’t need money for this, we need you to interact with voters. One election day, we need to utilize the freedoms we still have. And its easy.
Find out your local election laws. On election day, set up an information booth as close to the polls as legally permissible that says “Who is Ron Paul.” Imagine, some person about to vote. He doesn’t know there is a revolution. All he knows is that some long-shot has strong supporters and bunch of money raised off the internet.
Most people are undecided because no candidate has distinguished himself from the rest. We have sacrificed money, we have sacrificed time, now we must sacrifice a work day if we have, to influence these undecided voters.
We need to understand our important precincts and organize our meet-up groups. Assign people and supplies to high density areas. Set up your booths in a driveway if you can. Make yourselves visible, but don’t cause a scene. Be cordial, respectful, and welcoming to anyone who inquires. They think we are fanatical, so being aggressive can only hurt us. Know the policies of all the candidates and do your best to represent Dr. Paul in a way that would make him proud.
