Uh oh, here come the fireworks in 3, 2, 1
I was born in a welfare state/Ruled by bureaucracy/Controlled by civil servants/And people dressed in grey/Got no privacy, got no liberty/Cos the twentieth century people took it all away from me - Ray Davies
Why? Did I do something wrong??Originally Posted by carlton
Serious question here: if these are so effective then why doesn't the campaign itself mail something like these out?
Good question! I was doing some digging during the afternoon and found the Super Brochure page. It's supposed to reach $50,000 in order to start sending out the Promotion Combo of a Bumper Sticker and a Super Brochure (ticker's at less than $41,000 complete). I'm not sure what's the real deal if the program's going on or not. But the idea would be great! Handing these out in sports games, colleges, schools, restaurants, cars, etc. I hope its still a go!!
I think the RPF gripe is that the prices are overinflated and that the brochures do more harm than good. I wasn't around when the brochures went out for Ron but many here are adamant against it.Good question! I was doing some digging during the afternoon and found the Super Brochure page.

OP exposed!
Watch the first part of this video and see how Ron's blackout matches Rand's blackout... about 4 years later!!
Awesome! The check is in the mail. Sure hope I get some by Christmas. Can't wait to see the tykes faces!
The campaign has been doing door hangers in the early states for several months now, with targeted (single issue) messaging. Aside from the obvious profit motives, this other thing is more like carpet bombing with multiple issues.
I'm neg-repping anyone who posts about untested brochures not written by the campaign. It's not even about the fact that people are making a profit. It's about the fact that these things hurt the campaign and these people don't give a $#@!.

Much easier, cheaper, and probably more effective, to just print out thousands of copies of the Rand campaign logo and the campaign website on plain white paper, and randomly accidentally leave them in places.

These only need to be sent to past 2008-2012 Ron supporters In Iowa, NH, and NV. The campaign does have literature going around in the first states.
Hey, these brochures SINGLE HANDEDLY brought Ron a 116% increase of support in Iowa. Not buying it? Can't argue with cool graphics:

The word 'superbrochure' sounds like something my grandmother would get from Publishers Clearing House.

Hope i don't get a bad rap here, since i was just trying to bring some awareness to stuff like this, no more, no less. I don't have time for other agendas except a freedom agenda!
How can you know about Slim Jims and not know about Superbrochures?
I agree that something like this is much more appropriate for previous hardcore supporters. It's not going to win over people who aren't yet interested. You need a less cluttered and more to the point simple approach for that. Something to entice people to learn more. They have to want it before they'll do it. Make them want to learn more about Rand. Don't make them learn more about Rand.

Carpet bomb neighborhoods with Super Brochures dropped from a Blimp!
Brawndo's got what plants crave. Its got electrolytes.
H. L. Mencken said it best:
“Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.”
"As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron."
The slimjims were great! I wish Rand was doing that.

These are the official campaign door hangers for Iowa:
https://www.randpaul.com/doorhangers/IAdoorhanger.pdf
Early ones had errors, slightly less early ones had pictures of coffins, and even the ultimately approved ones contained incorrect information (which is going to happen when you have such a massive amount of information combined with variable text). They don't look good, and they scream TL;DR to the average person who's already not very interested.
Genuine, willful, aggressive ignorance is the one sure way to tick me off. I wish I could say you were trolling. I know better, and it's just sad.
Were the Slim Jims a failure too or did they actually work? Or maybe we can focus on flyers and infographic brochures?
And they are not targeted in any way. Too many issues. All it takes is for the reader (If they even read them) to find one issue that gives them heartburn and that's where they will focus. It doesn't allow the issue to be explained. And definitely not in the way the specific voter would need it explained.
It's a nice thought, but your money is probably best spent elsewhere. Donate to the campaign. If you're maxed out, help out the volunteers. Give to a liberty SuperPac. The brochures can be very counter-productive. They are designed for YOU - not for the person receiving them. Remember that.
"And now that the legislators and do-gooders have so futilely inflicted so many systems upon society, may they finally end where they should have begun: May they reject all systems, and try liberty; for liberty is an acknowledgment of faith in God and His works." - Bastiat
"It is difficult to free fools from the chains they revere." - Voltaire
Yep... this one has errors as well.
Hopefully they've at least fixed the bumper stickers they were giving away to show a current American flag.
ETA: Nope, and it's wrong in the logo for "Forever Free" as well.

I'm working on taking the words from the Super Brochures out and simplifying them (wonder if it will work?). I think I'll create personalized Rand Paul brochures.
