Don’t wait for 2016. In 2015 identify your voters...and grow your volunteer base. Several ways to do this:
1) Go to events of conservative groups, of conservative talk radio hosts. Bring sign-up sheets asking them to commit to walk a precinct. If the event is non-partisan or non-profit don’t endanger them with the IRS. Just offer them a check-off box to help a leftist or to help a conservative.
2) Immediately follow up with something they can do in 2015. Don’t wait for 2016.
3) Develop 3 petitions. One petition is for the leftist side, eg raise taxes. One petition is for the libertarian side. One petition is for the social conservative side. Or pick whichever 3 positions on the same topic you wish.
4) Take the petitions to every door, not just registered voters. Depending on which of 3 petitions a person signs, whip out a voter registration form and get your voters registered.
5) In purple suburbs of IL the above locates 1 new activist volunteer for every 50 signatures. It shifted 7 precincts from Gore in 2000 to the most conservative of 3 slates of candidates in 2001.
6) It doesn’t matter if the petition is on an economic or social issue. The petition that works is the petition that the petition passer, the volunteer is motivated to go door-to-door for.
7) Contact early and contact often is the most effective way to win. If a volunteer only shows up the last week of October the attitude of the voter is cynical. If the volunteer shows up in 2015 and GIVES THE VOTER A CHOICE on the issuess, the voter is impressed that the activist really cares and is not just another Jehovah’s Witness parrot.
8) Don’t be a Murdoch or Aiken. You are not there to argue the biology of pro-life, nor to argue its theology. Don’t get lost in the weeds.

9) The #1 goal is to find voters who will go your way, regardless of why. Until you are successful at this, don’t even think of trying to convert people to your way of thinking. That comes only after the first steps are learned.
