From a supporter at Daily Paul: Tax Free Tips Project

Time to focus on ADDING to our number$$$.

TAX BOMB—–BOOM!
If you have a few minutes please cut and paste the email below. Send it to restaurants in New Hampshire, Iowa and South Carolina. Later we can do other states. Use www.referenceusa.com through your local library homepage or Google the phone numbers.

It’s very simple. Just call and say “I’m a volunteer and there is a bill before Congress that would make gratutities tax free. We need to mobilze the servers to contact their Congressmen to get this bill passed. Congress won’t do it unless we tell them to. I just need an email address to send all the information to you. It will link you right to your Congressman and you can just send them an email. What email address do you want me to send it to? Thanks!”

The response has been explosive! It’s fun, easy and fast.

This is the package:

Subject: Tax Free Tips Act - Keep The Tips!

As promised, here is the information we need to distribute so we can get Congress to pass the TAX FREE TIPS ACT.
We need to mobilze the millions of service workers across America. The politicians in Washington are not going to pass this unless we speak up. They’d rather keep that money for their pet projects and special interests. This will only take you two minutes.

1. Read the Introduction http://files.meetup.com/525251/Tax%…
2. Print out and post these flyers http://www.nhlibertycalendar.org/ad…
3. Email/call your Congressman http://www.house.gov/writerep/
4. Forward this email to all of your contacts.

Together we will put billions of dollars into the hands of the service workers of America.

Thank You!

Direct Mail in South Carolina

It looks like the campaign’s direct mail effort is starting to have an effect. It’ s also interesting to note the apparent secrecy the campaign is maintaining.

From a supporter:

Greetings,

I just received my mail and there was a Ron Paul direct mail piece in it. I live in SC.
This was a targeted direct mail piece about a topic that is very important to me. It was very, very well done and really spoke to me.
If I did not know Ron Paul, I would vote for him based on this mailing. I am sure of that!
I am not going to tell you what the targeted group was because I don’t want other campaigns to get any ideas.
Let’s just say that our contributions are really working. The Ron Paul people really know what they are doing!! No other campaign has done this yet!!
I am going to drop by ronpaul2008.com and make another contribution. See Ya’.

Best Regards

Washington Post Article:

This is a terrific piece that could even be called pro-Paul.

Nick Gillespie and Matt Welch write:

“That force is less about Paul than about the movement that has erupted around him — and the much larger subset of Americans who are increasingly disillusioned with the two major political parties’ soft consensus on making government ever more intrusive at all levels, whether it’s listening to phone calls without a warrant, imposing fines of half a million dollars for broadcast “obscenities” or jailing grandmothers for buying prescribed marijuana from legal dispensaries.”

The piece includes a line that is a great concise reminder of the diversity of our movement and an interesting description of many Americans. Remember that “a good chunk of your fellow citizens are fiscally conservative and socially liberal,” or in other words, “they love their countrymen but distrust their government.”

The authors conclude:

“Ron Paul may lose next year’s battle — though not without a memorable fight — but the laissez-faire agitators he has helped energize will find themselves at the leading edge of American politics and culture for years to come.”

Handwritten Letters for Iowa

Project from a supporter:

The Ron Paul Los Angeles Meetup has purchased a list of 700,000 Iowa mailing addresses and is organizing a national letter writing campaign. This effort will mean personal, hand-written letters from Ron Paul supporters nationwide delivered to undecided voters in Iowa, where the presidential nominees will be selected JANUARY 3rd. We feel that the personal nature of this effort will appeal to the people of Iowa, and set us apart from the form letters they all get from the ‘other’ campaigns.

This is a massive undertaking and we need everyone’s help. With support from the meetups, we can cover all 700,000 names on the list before January 3rd which will have a huge effect on the nomination.

Please respond with a standard email address and be sure to list which meetup (Including group number and state) you organize ASAP and I will reply immediately with the names we need you to cover. WE CAN WIN IOWA.
