precinct canvassing

Wanted to let you all know that I probably won't be able to make it to the meeting on Saturday, but have distributed 240 slim jims to households of registered voters who have voted in the past 2-3 years (this covers 400 or so registered voters) in my precinct, and am helping Tim with his precinct. Contacting voters seems to be the most effective means of increasing the cause. I wish you all well in your efforts this weekend!

FANTASTIC!!! I LOVE to hear these things--it makes me feel warm and fuzzy. :-) See you at my place in March, and hopefully at some of the upcoming Fri. & Sat. canvassing events over the next few weeks till the Ohio primary.

Most of you already receive the Ron Paul alerts, but in case you don't...this is officially from the Ron Paul 2008 Campaign:

January 30, 2008


We received this message this morning from a Ron Paul supporter in Florida. Because it is so important, we are sharing it with you, too.

I wanted to share my experience canvassing here in Broward County, South Florida.

As you know, Dr. Paul took 3% of the vote yesterday in Florida. A friend and I signed up on the campaign's website to be a precinct leader, and took it upon ourselves to canvass 13 precincts in Broward County. I'm proud to report that in the precincts that we canvassed, Dr. Paul came in second to John McCain.

That's right; Dr. Paul beat Romney, Giuliani and Huckabee. This happened with almost NO media coverage of Dr. Paul. It's particularly noteworthy, because Broward County is a stronghold of Rudy Giuliani.

We know of other Dr. Paul supporters in Broward County who were waving Dr. Paul's signs, but they did not do that well in their precincts. Sign waving does NOT get votes, BUT PRECINCT WORK DOES GET VOTES!!! Please do the precinct work in your area so that Dr. Paul will win. God Bless You.

Help us by signing up today to be a precinct leader in your area. If you really want to make Ron Paul our next president, sign up and begin canvassing right away. You're counting on Ron Paul to do his part, and he's counting on you to do yours.

This is work that any dedicated supporter can do, and, along with donating, is the most important thing you can do to ensure a Ron Paul victory.

Sign up yourself, and then encourage all your friends to sign up here: https://voters.ronpau....

YES! We must canvass voters under I, R, or D registrations. Tim Arndt was kind enough to look up the info. for me. He notes:

This is right off the secretary of state web site. You can declare/change your party the day of the primaries Mar4. You have to be registered with the state of Ohio by Feb2 to be eligible to vote(30 days before election)

How do I establish which political party?s ballot I am entitled to vote?

You may vote the primary ballot of the political party with which you currently wish to be affiliated. If you voted the primary ballot of a different political party in 2005 or 2006, you will complete a statement at your polling place confirming the change in your political party affiliation.
