only God can step in at this juncture....

No, we can step in at this juncture. Newt is being jammed out of media coverage. So make your own media.

1. Get your favorite newt video

2. or make one yourself on youtube. http://www.youtube.com/create OR www.youtube.com/t/creators_corner

3. Make some Newt stationary, invite 3 or 4 people over to watch a Newt vid. Leave your invitations on their porch, or in their apartment or condo lobby, or send in snail or email.

4. Give a little talk at the beginning, why you support Newt, keep it simple.

5. show your vid, with a few snacks, something simple.

4. Have some Newt info to give to them. flyers, brochures, etc.

6. Then make a plea for them to get involved.

Some will say yes, right then and there. Others will say they'll get back to you, others might say no right there on the spot.

Keep a little calendar and follow up on the undecided in a week or so.

Create your own Newt media. the campaign has its own problems right now. Step up and double down.

My first newt party was 2 people, both were my best friends, just humoring me.

For the last debate, I had to reserve the banquet room at a local restaurant to handle all my Newt converts.

We have to do this ourselves. If it's not important enough to get off the couch, then it's not important enough, and let obama or romney have it.

As evidenced here on FR, it is very doubtful any Santorum supporters are going to change their minds, they want a saint for president, and think they have one in Santorum.

But there are plenty of open-minded people out there, not even engaged or paying attention yet. They are ripe for Newt picking.

Any help I can give you, just ask.

Am already quite active.....making phone calls...speaking out in clusters I run into throughout the day at work...and passing along videos as well as other endeavors....Newt’s site has been of great help in getting info etc.

Yes, we have to get the message out...and I think many are attempting to do just that....but it will still require the hand of God to bring the success we hope for....especially with the Gideon Army we have who are willing to do the footwork.

Oh, I had a good sense you already were, just from reading your stuff here... but I thought you might want to urge others, or even branch out in a new direction, if you hadn't already...

but it will still require the hand of God to bring the success we hope for....

we are deep into we need a miracle territory, I know.

I get a little shaky on nights like tonight, but I think He will make a way for Newt and for us, and for America.

Thank you for all you do for Newt, and your unique insights on this board...

I love what Newt said at the end about the arts being sustainable with a good economy.

My heart aches for the common sense Newt offers.

I wasn’t offended by Callista’s comments. She’s a musician and active art patron and thinks it’s a travesty that the arts have been dropped in schools. I agree. She and Newt LOVE the arts with all their hearts and DO NOT believe in gov art subsidies. I’d love to see how she would advocate the arts as First Lady.

Houston’s economy is reflected by the growth of the arts in their city. Improve the economy and cities can afford more culcha.

At least the LA primary is closed. Dems are not invited to the Party.

Newt needs to fire up his GOTV.

Has Two-State Newt given up on LA; he said Tuesday he was concentrating everything now on NC, another GA neighbor. Sad that it’s all over no matter what. This year has again proved that our little Republican primary voters are not particularly “conservative” at all.

Thank you for the post... Newt was very good, again.

Unfortunately, only real conservatives will appreciate the message.

The Romney cultists and the Saintorum religious zealots, will either not watch it or understand it even if they do.

Thanks so much for the ping! I hope the LA Freepers who didn't get to attend events with Newt will take a listen. Even if they support Romney or Santorum, I hope they will take a listen.

As I have stated before, I will vote for WHOMEVER our nominee is against Obama. I have been supporting Newt for many reasons,including his experience in getting things done. The following reasons also mean a lot to me.

Newt was the first candidate to speak out RIGHT AWAY in support of our soldiers following the Koran burning incident, and the murder of our soldiers by Afghan soldiers. And he has continued to speak out in support of our military and against Obama’s treatment of our heroes.

Newt was the first candidate to come out with a real workable energy plan. We can become energy independent! Newt's plan is so doable that Obama just had to make comments against Newt's plan and calling Newt a liar! I guess Obama forgot that when he took office gas was $1.89 per gallon!

Well you can always walk around with a club at the polling stations and look “tuff”. Be sure to wear something with dime store medals on it and shiny brass buttons.
