Re-Register as Republican (no alliteration needed)

Just a quick "wag o' the finger" at those of you that are still registered as Democrats. How do you plan on voting for Ron Paul in the primaries if you're not a Republican?

Californian's can register here. Other states will have to do a little digging here.

I know, it feels dirty affiliating yourself with the GOP, but its for the good of the nation.

Just remember: Ron Paul is pretending to be a Republican, so you can too!

Postcards...better when they're free!

Vista Print has been around a long time, and you probably know them as the company that prints 100 business cards for free. They're not the BEST quality prints, or the fastest with shipping, but there is something to be said about offering free products.

They currently offer 100 free postcards (full color front, B/W back) if you're willing to pay a minimum of $5.45 for shipping (which is quoted at 21 days lead time). It works out to about 5 cents per card.

Get the free postcards here.

Put a big, bold Ron Paul message on it. Use some catchy facts about him, some of which are available from his "about me" page on RonPaul2008.com. Some you might consider:

  • He has never voted to raise taxes.
  • He has never voted to raise congressional pay.
  • He has never voted to increase the power of the executive branch.
  • He voted against the Patriot Act.
  • He voted against regulating the Internet.
  • He voted against the Iraq war.
  • He does not participate in the lucrative congressional pension program.
What you do with the cards is up to you, but be sure to get them out of your hands as fast as you can.


Note: If you're willing to spend a little bit, the best deal I've found on larger quantities of postcards is GotPrint.com. You can get 5000 postcards for $129, which works out to 2.5 cents a piece. The print quality is very good.

Stand up, walk outside and start talking

Another page taken straight from the "obvious" book.

Some of you may not be great debaters, and some of you may just be shy, but there are those among you that like to talk. To real people. Face to face.


Go down your street, knock on doors, and talk to your neighbors. Don't be pushy, but make sure they all hear the words "Ron Paul" a couple dozen times before you leave their porch.

  • Make them curious.
  • Make them WANT to Google "Ron Paul" later.
  • Tell them about his voting record.
  • Tell them his plans to abolish the IRS and the income tax.
  • Ask how much money they will save each year without income taxes.
  • But above all, DON'T BE PUSHY! We don't want 'blowback' due to cramming our viewpoints down others' throats.

Make your email auto-responder a Ron Paul champion!

Many people aren't even aware that their email programs are able to send an automatic reply to every email that comes in. But guess what? Any good email program does!

Over on Ron Paul Forums I found this great post explaining exactly how to setup Microsoft Outlook to send an auto-response with Ron Paul information within.

I also recommend inserting a catchy Ron Paul line in the signature of every email you send also. This is easily modified in most email programs.

Below are links to instructions on setting up some popular email programs with an auto-response:

Big banners, little cost


Ron Paul Revolution has a great following and I whole-heartedly support them. On their site there is a video detailing the creation of large banners and signs.

If they hadn't done a good job on their site, I'd go into more detail. So I leave you with a link to their site:

Create a blog, tell your friends, POST!

This one seems self-explanatory, but some might overlook it.

Create a blog about Ron Paul!

You don't have to be well-spoken.
You don't have to have tons of traffic.
You don't have to spend a dime.
You don't have to spend too much time on it!
You don't have to make it pretty.

All you need to do is inform people about Ron Paul and his mission! Tell them his plan to withdraw from Iraq. Tell them about the abolition of the IRS and income taxes! Tell them about the end to wars abroad. Tell them about a smaller government!

If creating a blog and sending all your friends, coworkers, and family members alerts one new person to Ron Paul, you've done your job!

I told you it was an obvious one!

Ron Paul stamp for your money


I REALLY like this idea.

I stumbled upon a site that sells stamps that say "Keep your money - RonPaul2008.com" which are intended to be used on your dollar bills. Very similar to the "Where's George" project that tracks where your money goes, but this one is only intended to drive visitors to Ron Paul's website.

The stamps sell for $11.99 plus $1 for shipping from RonPaulStamps.com, which is very reasonable considering it'll print 1000's of times before re-inking. I went ahead and bought two (one of each color) to see how well they worked: I was pleasantly suprised with the result.

Ron Paul t-shirts


We'll start with a rather obvious choice for showing support for Ron Paul: wearing it. T-shirts are a great means of communication these days. Here are some options:

  1. Buy a blank white shirt and use a permanent marker to write something like "Google Ron Paul" or "Say goodbye to the IRS - RonPaul2008.com". You could also go down to Staples and buy an inkjet iron-on t-shirt kit and print some snazzy logo. -- $5 and up

  2. Purchase a shirt from a cafepress shop. Ron Paul Shirts, Ron Paul Revolution, and Zazzle are good choices. -- $9 and up

  3. Ron Paul Shirts also allows you to customize your own professionally made shirt. $5 from each shirt is given directly to RonPaul2008.com (up to the max of $2300). -- $20 and up (but some goes to Dr. Paul!)
Buying merchandise isn't always the cheapest method, so if you happen to have a spare white shirt in your drawer, USE IT!
