I think might be covered in the overall list above, but Christmas decorating weekend is around the corner, does anyone know if someone is selling Holiday-themed yard signs?

This is an excellent thread. To expand a little on one of the suggestions...

Check your local library(ies) for your favorite Ron Paul book(s). If it isn't part of the collection already, I'm sure they'd appreciate a donation.

In short it is an attempt to canvass the state through personal notes written to Iowa Myspace users. Hopefully if it goes well we can apply it to upcoming states.

We just put out the first draft of the sign up sheet last night and need to build some momentum to really get this thing going.

Loving the ideas. Let's keep things 100% positive (and not embolden those who disagree by slamming anyone).

Everyone should know what he has to do to vote for Ron Paul in the primaries, since this varies from state to state. For example, in Pennsylvania one must be registered as a Republican by March 24, 2008. In my case I must change my party affiliation from Independent to Republican. Many of you are in the same situation.
