I think its clear that we need more organization with the Ron Paul grassroots campaign, that is why I am officially starting on the TheBonfire.com project. Each user will have the ability to start a "fire" (small campaign/activity) in their local area or have it dispersed and associated with a much larger scale of individual nodes.
Users will be able to join or start their own individual activities and will have the ability to plot the exact location on a google maps type map where they will execute their "branch" of the campaign/activity amidst the larger "bonfire". This will allow complex organization and intricate planning for everything from canvassing, sign wavings, and more.
People will also be able to comment on each activity with a "digg style" interface and allowed to rate the activities and comments. Media such as videos and images will also be allowed to be added to each activity's page.
Look below for some of the features of the site.
