For PA residents: your election cycle really does not begin until January 22nd with the kickoff for ballot petitioning for Ron Paul and his delegates. If you are not going to NH and you are free this weekend, you should consider spending your time productively going door-to-door in NJ helping folks prepare for the NJ Primary on Feb 5th. The folks here need all the help we can get and will be more than happy to return the favor starting Feb 6th. Remember, primary season is a sequential process. For the April 22 PA Primary to be relevant, we have to do well on Super Tuesday. And you can think of it as "practice" for PA canvassing. Besides selling Ron Paul door-to-door is fun and easy when you have a winning message.

For our second event, we will be meeting at the PATCO Collingswood Train Station easily accessible from Philadelphia via the Ben Franklin Bridge (pick up the train at either 8th/Market Streets or 15th/Locust Streets).

We will go out in teams of 2 armed with:
1. A neighborhood map,
2. A list of registered voters,
3. A supply of slim jims & DVDs and
4. Simple talking points.

You will:
1. Identify the Ron Paul supporters (who need yard signs and bumper stickers),
2. Identify the undecided voters (who will get a follow up call/visit)
3. Help educate the Independent voters that they have the right to support Ron Paul in the Feb 5th primary (NJ is an Open Primary).

Our experience has already shown that people are favorably inclined to the message at their door step - WE JUST NEED THE MANPOWER TO SPREAD THE WORD TO MAKE SURE WE WIN!

Come out and show your support for the Dr. after he shows them what's up in IOWA!

The debate starts at 7pm, and the Dems are also scheduled to debate at a separate location.

Which party goes first is up to a coin toss. Either way there'll be fireworks!

The venue will most likely be Intermezzo Cafe on Walnut at 31st.
or somewhere better if available.

Who: all Philadelphia region RP supporters
What: Operation Live Free or Die
Where: New Hampshire
When: Depart Philly and nearby towns Jan. 2nd, 3rd, 4th or when you can depending on your schedule; return from NH morning of Jan. 9th (latest)

Operation Live Free or Die is sending hordes of RP freedom-loving supporters to NH to increase Ron's votes in the primary. Metro Harrisburg is sending 15 volunteers. Can Philly humiliate them by sending more than that? What are we, chopped liver? Crush those numbers - volunteer now!

What you get:

1. FREE - housing - you will stay in one of eight 6-bedroom houses; all Philly region people in the same town ;
2. FREE - Gas & toll reimbursement; and
3. FREE - Ron Paul in the White House

Cool stuff you'll do:

1. Canvass door-to-door * - advocacy calls with targeted slim jims for previously-identified hot-button issues;
2. Phone bank cold calls made via telephone; and
3. Office stuff in the NH headquarters and tons of other neat stuff

* coordinated by the campaign using its lists of registered GOP voters

Who's paying for all of this great free and fun stuff anyway? Funds for the housing were raised by Operation Live Free or Die. Funds for travel costs reimbursement were raised by FACT, the Free Assembly Constitutional Thought (www.constitutionalthought.org).

FREE BONUS: FACT is sponsoring the Liberty Forum Jan. 3-6 in Nashua, NH. Pay a mere $200 to enjoy speeches by Dr. Paul, John Stossel, Michael Badnarik and others. The free part is the free food. Yeah! Proceeds benefit the Free State Project.

The Rules:

1. RSVP here on this Calendar;
2. also send an RSVP via email to: klamanuzzi@gmail.com. Tell Kari how many days you can be there. Please do the full stretch if you can.
3. For gas & toll reimbursement, please take a passenger or two; Kari will help line up the car pooling if needed.

Yours very truly,

Bill Faust

This is the final mass donation day, or "money bomb" of the year, to blast us past $20 million for the quarter. How high can we go? I think $21 million is a cinch. Let's shoot for $22 million! I know everyone is about tapped out already, so let's spread the goodwill around and let lot's more new people in on the fun. If you can only give $50 this time, great. Focus on the more important task of getting one or two or ten new supporters on board to donate their $100 or more. Perhaps the best thing about the 16th was that 25,000 of the donors were first-timers. Let's keep the new recruits coming! This has been an awesome year for our nation because of what we're doing, so let's celebrate our success, and celebrate for the better future that we're building!

This event will run from 1 to 9 PM. When we see a glazed look in your eyes, we will judge your ability to continue by posing to you the following philosophical question of the ages: Who is stronger - Mighty Mouse or Superman? If we receive an incorrect answer, we will throw cold water on you in an effort to revive you. If that does not work, we will cast your body into the street when the cartman yells "Bring out your dead!"

A convenient pay parking lot is at the SE corner of 22nd & Walnut and it beats trying to find a free space on the street. Bill's home has the only above-grade entrance between Locust and Latimer Streets. The doorbell is in the frog's hand.

The body of our letter is word-processed. We hand-write the envelope address & return address, the salutation (Dear ____), the signature and a personal note at the bottom. We include a slim jim (flyer) in the envelope. It's amazing how many of these can be cranked out with a decent sized crew. We must contact these independent NH voters.

If they have not already done so, it would be appreciated if attendees could contribute whatever funds they might be able to afford to help defray a measure of the postage.

On Wednesday, we completed 1000 letters to IA independents who also have the right to participate in the GOP caucus. Our goal before Saturday ends is to send out 1000 more letters to NH independents.

Your dedication to the Ron Paul candidacy is greatly appreciated.
