I sent this message to the Spokane, Washington meetup group email list. The various invitations apply to all lovers of liberty. Vive La rEVOLution!
So, I won’t be in the states much longer, and I want to do everything I can while I am here for Ron Paul. So, here it is:
1) I placed maybe 75 signs and 10 banners or so, I lost count but I filled up my car at Yoko’s three times today. Tens of thousands of people driving to work tomorrow will wonder, “Who is Ron Paul?”. If they work for the government, they will probably proceed to log onto their work computer and Google him and spend the next four hours watching Ron Paul YouTube videos. If they work in the private sector they might have to wait until their scheduled break time.
As far as upkeep on the signs goes, there will probably need to be a lot, but it may not be as hard as I first thought. If we take new placards with us we might just be able to take off the old, curled up and/or illegible ones off and staple new ones on right on the spot. More on stapling placards in a moment.
2) I will be hosting a Fund Raiser Barbecue on August 20th, from 6:30 PM to 9:30 PM. I don’t have many more details, but I would really love it if some of you would help me coordinate it. I am a horrible cook, so I really, really, really need someone who can man the barbecue! Everything that is raised goes straight to the campaign, I will pay for all of the food and booze out of pocket. July 20th is Ron Paul’s birthday, and there are going to be lots of fund raisers for him all over the country. It is important for us to remember that the moronic media doesn’t think that someone is worth paying attention to unless they have a lot of money. If we can quadruple our fund raising this quarter, like we did last quarter, we would take in close to 10 Million. That would put us in the top tier. If showing the numbers to the media was the only thing that our fund raising would do it would still be worth it. But we’re going to have a TOUGH fight in the early states, which we have to win to be a contender for the big stack of primaries that will take place soon after. Ron Paul needs money for ads, organization and who knows what else. Plus, he needs money to fight in the later states after making a huge push in the early states. Let’s do our best to give it to him!
3) Guerrilla Warfare: Putting up these signs gave me an idea. The placards on the signs are the perfect size to staple on telephone polls. There are wooden telephone polls all over the city, and it wouldn’t take much time for a few people to go and plaster entire areas with Ron Paul signs. Density gets noticed, and if every telephone poll on street X has 3 Ron Paul placards on it, everyone stopped in traffic will have their attention drawn to them. If we can get more placards from the same place the ones we used for the signs, that is great, but if not I will still try to figure something out.
When I was out today, putting up signs and banners, I felt like every time I put a sign or banner up I was shouting at someone, making them stop ignoring the freedom message. We are getting past the ignoring part, which is good. We need to let all of Spokane know that the rEVOLution is underway. Anyone want in on this? I’m a night owl and would love to do an all night thing. Please let me know if you’d like to help with this!

PS: A friend and I are considering driving to Iowa for the straw poll. Would anyone here like to tag along and split the gas and motel? I hear Mitt Romney is going to be serving Iowa’s best BBQ!
