I would like to pass on a little suggestion to spread the word of Ron Paul all over the country for about $1.oo. I purchased
a red magic marker and on every single letter or out going bill payment etc. On the front of every envelope in large red letters
I write "GOT FREEDOM "? JOIN THE RON PAUL REVOLUTION. www.ronpaul2008.com. Imagine if every single
Ron Paul supporter did that. First of all every person who handles the letter has to see it because its on the front in large
letters & will create curiousity. . Second, letters go all over the country . it is free advertisement. Third, if enough
people do it we will make it on the News and Ron will get FREE publicity. Blessings, Julie

For all you other Truckers who are having trouble paying the bills right now, for less that $10.00 you can buy light colored
contact paper and glass chalk.(paint)-can be found in automotive/sporting section. And then just stick to your trailer sides
and back doors. Quick and easy and can be readily pulled off. The bigger and brighter the letters, the bigger and brighter
the message. Thank you all for caring about the future of our World. --Bonnie

1) Rent, lease, find an old semi trailer.
2) Cover a side of the trailer with a banner that states in very clear
terms that Ron Paul plans to eliminate the income tax. Toss in a graphical NO IRS symbol for good measure. And make sure they
know they must vote in the primaries.
3) Park the trailer near major places of employment when people are coming
or going.
A great deal of people dont always vote, but will definately vote if given a good reason. So lets give
them a reason!

Here are 2 ideas for web presence. Join an online community such as http://mytruckingspace.com (free membership where you can post messages to other members pages and blog on your own page or post to live forums).
Second, everyone can go to http://vistaprint.com and order some free business cards with whatever message you want. I think there is a small shipping charge.
Then you can hand them to people, leave them with the waitresses tip, or just scatter them here and there in TV rooms, pay
phones, etc. --Paul (http://fueldream.com)

Another way of promoting Ron Paul, is through REVERSE telemarketing!
Many
of us are frustrated with those annoying calls trying to sell us something, but did you ever think that by being nice to the
telemarketer (they're just normal folks like you and me, trying to earn a living) that you could engage them in a conversation
about Ron Paul?
Just listen to the first part of their pitch, and then when they pause, tell them that you are
not interested in what they have to offer, BUT you would like to ask them something. Ask them if they have ever heard of Ron
Paul. If they say "yes", you can ask what they think of him, or politely end the call. If they say "no",
you can give them a quick overview of Dr. Paul and encourage them to do further research through the web.
Two telemarketers
called me this evening who had NEVER heard of Ron Paul, and I enthusiastically, but briefly, told them about him. There are
MANY people who don't know anything about Dr. Paul, and this is a FREE method of getting the word out to some of them. --"The
Right Guy To Call"

SWARM! This means have all the Truckers For Ron Paul drive around
the primary states just one week before the primary. Focus on counties with the highest number of undecided Republicans--info
which must be on the Internet somewhere. I think New Hampshire is more important than IOWA (which I think is lost for
RP). --Logan Darrow Clements (http://www.freestarmedia.com/pr.html)

To strike up a conversation about Ron Paul, I get on the CB and say, "God Bless America, support our Troops, Secure
our Borders, and Vote Ron Paul for President" 99% of the time, I get a response that leads to either a learning session
for the other drivers, or a chance to prove Ron Paul is better than any other candidate. --M. Lane Culpepper

Contact the 3 top XM shows for truckers: Dave Nemo, Bill Mack, Trucking Bozo, to do a call in hour or half hour. Also Eric
Harley the midnite show on 171, and Steve Sommers on SM 173, this would get the attention of thousands of truckers. --Gran"Paw Aaron's note: also, Bubba the Love Sponge on Howard 100/101 on Sirius talks about Ron Paul
all the time (I'm told), make calls to encourage this. :)

Tell truckers that Ron Paul will get rid of N.A.F.T.A. and wont let trucks cross the border, also he said he will get rid
of the tip tax on waitreses and waiters the first week! --Buzz

I find that starting a CB conversation on Ron Paul is easy by just saying "Yeah, you are right, that Ron Paul sure makes
sense" as if I was talking to another driver. Sometimes I get no response, but I know they hear me. It is easy to diffuse
the warmongers with these facts.
1- He wants to improve National Defense by opening the Bases that Bush sr. and Clinton
closed.
2- He wants to spend a lot more on Veterans
3- He wants to increase missile defense spending
4- We
are still in Iraq only because we care more about Iraqi oil than the lives of our own soldiers.
5- He wants to eliminate
federal government agencies such as the FMCSA! --Al

I tried to get OOIDA [Owner-Operator Independent Driver's Association] to get either Ron Paul or a good representative for him on their
Land Line Now daily radio program (even a LandLine magazine article on behalf of Ron Paul would be great) ... to no avail.
Sherry Murry said they don't do this sort of thing for anybody running for any office :(. I and my husband are O/O
and members of OOIDA, too. I now have Jim Guest State Rep (state level) of Missouri trying to talk to Todd Spencer Executive
Officer of OOIDA to get them to change their minds...if you or any of these other truckers are members of OOIDA please contact
them on this issue ... maybe we can get them to change their minds if they realize other truckers would like this as well?
--Sharilyn It would be great if you could get everyone to help me by writing letters
to the editor of Land Line magazine. I know there are a lot of OOIDA brothers and sisters out there, if we could get into
Land Line there are 240,000 plus readers. --Brian Kaiser
Note: Land Line's
editorial address is 1 NW OOIDA Drive, Grain Valley, Missouri 64029

Have you guys considered vinyl decals? They're pretty cheap and very effective. You could do a bigger version for the
trailers...

I was hoping you will put something on your site encouraging truckers to register asap as Republicans and to be sure to vote
in the primarys. Truckers should probably register for an absentee ballot so they can vote for Ron Paul even if they are on
the road. --Victoria

For anybody that wants to support Ron Paul that Doesn't keep the Same trailer - Check Out
these 12" x 18" Ron Paul Magnets - Great for The Cab as well - (Company Drivers-Easily Remove them before you get
to the Terminal or Customer) http://www.ronpaulstickers.com/carmagnets.html --Audi You
might want to offer a link to this page, where you can get large (12"x18") magnetic signs. I bought a set of 5 pairs
for my pickup truck and van, and they are great. Shipping was quick, and by ordering 5 pairs, the price per sign was great.
A trucker ordering a set of 5 pairs should be able to quickly recoup his money by reselling single signs to other truckers. --Scott

Since trucker radio shows seem to be all the rage, how about calling into every one on a regular basis and addressing the
issue on point for Ron? I don't listen to these things, but I notice that many who do are fanatics about them.
Free air time? Wouldn't t be interesting if the other candidates started demanding equal time? Maybe we could
take the battle to them by staging debates on trucker radio! --Bill

The Ron Paul $5 Giveaway! If the government

A great way to send the Ron Paul message.

Attached is a poster I have been putting up in truck-stops for the past two months. I have noticed
that there are many tabs missing when I go back to check on the posters. Please feel free to ask other truckers to put up
this poster wherever they can. It is a word file so you can change the writing easily. Go Ron Paul! --Tom Thanks, Tom!
The poster (there are two, one his original and another that he sent shortly after which includes this site's URL, pick
which one you like, print and spread around) is in MS Word format.

Our thought is that trucks are the best billboard around! So, truckers who support Ron Paul should put big signs on
the back and sides of their trailers, like -Google Ron Paul Now - or Join the Ron Paul Revolution. --Art and Judy Addendum:
Pankaj asked why he isn't seeing more of these kinds of big truck displays on the road. I answered: A
good question. The problem is that most of us are company drivers, which means we don't own our own rigs.
That means we are probably prohibited from putting any kind of stickers, displays, etc. on our rigs. For instance,
I have a Ron Paul bumper sticker, but it is only on the visor inside the cab (where it can be seen from the outside when
the visor is down). I am not allowed and will get in trouble or fired if I put one on the truck for permanent display
anywhere. Most drivers are under these kinds of prohibitions.
Were I an owner-operator, however, I would
already have my trailer "wrapped" (meaning fully covered) with a large Ron Paul display of some kind.. :)

"I think you should put something on your site to encourage all truck drivers to change their cb handle
to "Ron Paul for President" Then every time truckers talk on the cb all you'll hear inbetween sentences is
things like .. come back, ron paul for president, or where is the smokies .. ron paul for president" --Chuck

Another idea for the non-trucker who has a CB is to "troll" the local truck stop
with their car and a CB on the trucker channel (19) and talk about Ron Paul. Businesses around truck stops use CBs
to advertise themselves all the time. So why not politicians? Female (classy) voices are especially effective.
Keep it short and sweet and don't spam the waves--maybe say three sentences and then lay off for ten minutes before
saying it again. Unless you're asked a question, of course. If you've got two radios or a good setup, you can use the radio on a separate channel (say 23 or whatever)
and just advertise that channel on channel 19. Like this: "Break 19..drivers, if you're interested in the
TRUCKER'S candidate for president, take it on up to 23 for more information." Then have a running commercial
or just talk about Ron Paul and answer questions from drivers on channel 23. This approach is probably best done by
two people on two separate radios, trading places to answer and advertise every few minutes. --Mary Addendum: I got a note from Adam about this: I am dropping you a line to let you
know that I have been making a "Minuteman Call for Ron Paul" on ch19 any time that I am near the interstates. I
have received mixed responses. Several times I awakened the "beast" in some. Let me know your thoughts on sending out Dr. Paul's messages 24x7 on your radio. My response: Hi, Adam, and thanks for what you're doing too! The biggest
downside to giving a "shoutout" message on the CB (esp. the trucker's channel), is that if it sounds like
an advertisement, many drivers will quickly get annoyed. You should also understand that for every 100 drivers listening
and saying nothing, there is one who is going to make smartass comments and try to be belligerent. The best thing
to do is either ignore that guy or try to make him sound like an idiot (which he's probably doing a good job of on his
own anyway). If you get no good responses when you say something a couple/three times, it's best to give up and
wait a while before trying again. Drivers are quick to shut off their CBs if they think someone is just spamming the
airwaves with advertisements or propaganda.

How: We construct our signs {4X8} basically the same... However, we use painters tarps made of lightweight canvas (it normally
does cost as much as vinyl) 1" pvc 2-6' lengths... On a side note... The 21st when I am in Greenville, SC (shaking
Ron Paul's hand) I will be meeting with an individual who makes these types of signs - and hopefully I can strike a
bottom line deal that can become a resource for all of us...
The wording is the critical part of these signs...
First line: (18 inches high) TRUCKERS - VOTE!
Second line: (two feet high) "RON PAUL"!!! (with exclamation
signs intact) - Thats all - we do not put any urls on the sign, first off it clutters what we want to achieve ("name
recognition"), secondly: see below under why...
Where: On all major (interstate) hwy's in the nation,
ie. 95 Fla to Me, 10 Fla to La... Where I live in NC we have Hwy 40 that goes across the entire State on any Mon, Tues or
Fri I can go out on an overpass and count 20 to 40 trucks per minute... You do the math!
Why: Now comes the exiting
part... (why truckers?) - enjoying the fruits of our labors- [a short lesson on what brings about a sale] From suspect (trucker)
- to prospect - to owner (voter)... What we are marketing is a commodity - it just happens to be named "RON PAUL"
- the process always remains the same... To illustrate: Trucker going from west to east across NC on Hwy 40 (remember he
is not the only one - 20+ per minute) by the time he reaches the overpass where I'm standing he has seen a "RON
PAUL" banner (we'll say five times) A question in his/her mind "WHO is Ron Paul"and why are truckers voting
and for what?...
Here is the best part - when a trucker has a question what does he do? You got it! "breaker,
breaker" "Flying eagle here" Who is This Ron Paul Guy? "Come back" - Flying Eagle XX here... Flying
Eagle xx here... Can you only imagine how long it would take for all (5 M) truckers in the country to become aware of the
next President of the United States... Now if you truly have intestinal fortitude go into a truck stop with your Ron Paul
tee shirt on!!! --Joel
