 January 29th

Time is short, very short, with "Super Tuesday," February 5th, just around the corner. Have you enlisted in Ron Paul's Infantry yet? There are 180,000 openings!Uncle Sam Needs You! - courtesy of the National Archives

It's fun, it's easy, anyone can do it! You don't have to wait for someone else, you can start today. Here's your simple 1 - 2 - 3 guide:

  1. Sign up at Ron Paul 2008
  2. Put together a small field kit - precinct lists and Slim-Jims
  3. Knock on your neighbor's door with a smile!

With 180,000 openings for Precinct Leaders, the infantry is growing day by day. Your participation will make a big difference on Super Tuesday!

Are YOU Represented On This Graph?

To supply your kit, your quickest sources are the Ron Paul 2008 website (for precinct lists) and your local Ron Paul Meetup Group leader (for Slim-Jims.)

Now for some tips and observations from two of the "Ron Paul Infantry" that have been out there for weeks now, knocking on doors:

Maggie says:Maggie Gets Out The Vote for Dr. Paul!

  • Dress neatly and casually
  • Map your precinct in advance
  • Visit the most likely (Republican & Libertarian) households first
  • Carry a small portfolio to organize your materials
  • Keep a big smile on your face!
  • Answer questions, but don't argue
  • Move on quickly if you find you aren't welcome
  • Record household results - i.e. contact, not home, or supporter

Elisabeth says:Elizabeth Gets Out The Vote for Dr. Paul!

  • 50-60% won't be home when you call
  • Most will accept the literature you offer
  • Many are apathetic about the election and have a very shallow understanding of the candidates
  • The young seem more receptive to details - they "get it" and will be the ones to save the country
  • The worst reception I've had is "I'm not interested"
  • Debt is at all-time highs - people need economic hope!
  • The internet has made this revolution possible
  • Finally, here are a few words from our Commander in Chief! 

    Dr. Paul says:Ron Paul Gets Out The Vote!

  • We're committed to winning states
  • Your generous contributions are essential
  • I need you as my partner in your area - after all, your neighbors pay attention to you
  • ASK others to sign-up on our website
  • We want to win as many delegates to the Republican National Convention as possible
  • OK, Ron Paul supporter, you've heard from the people out doing the work and from Dr. Paul himself. Now is the time! Today's the day! What are you waiting for, an engraved invitation? Pull on your boots and get out the vote!

    To all the soldiers of the REVOLUTION. NEVER GIVE UP a country depends upon us. How many Tory's said the same thing only to proudly fly the flag once we the patriots fought the fight. I got my musket oiled and my powder is dry. Good luck and GODSPEED LIBERTY or DEATH

    I thought that Ron Paul has already won atleast one primary. Is this not true?

    To the_statist: Paul may have won the Missouri caucuses, but a lot of registered voters were forced to cast provisional ballots. So he came in second (technically, third to "pro-life undeclared")
     behind McCain, but probably should have been first.

     Lots of monkey business in the balloting this year, I'm afraid...

    Sure, Staist...if you were to count all of the votes in LA, he would have won. But somebody decided to change the rules at the last minute...so...go figure.
