I would contact the campaign of your choice ... a local office in IA (not Des Moines) and find somebody to do phoning with. A pre-pay cell phone with an Iowa number is necessary. I like the verizon pre-pay at Walmart $2/day plan. what state do ya live in? If you’re call Sioux City, have a Sioux city phone number. They have lists at the satellite offices.

Florida is a TV ad content. Romney has the money advantage to spend the $5 million on the airwaves. In Iowa the local conservative activists are organized and have a huge impact in a 100,000 person event. It takes less than $1 million to compete. Mitts money won’t help him much in IA and SC. He needs to be defeated there.

If Mitt survives as the frontrunner after Florida, I would not count on anybody stopping him. Even Facebook pages.

#48.
you guys ever run a presidential campaign state effort? Ever been to Iowa caucuses? A few million facebook friends ain’t gonna lead to much cuz the won’t get fanatically active like the ronPaul folks .... and even a few millon Paulinistas barely kept ronPaul above 10%.

FLA Nev and Maine are the last states before the whole thing becomes a big media event.

Mitts money won’t help him much in IA and SC. He needs to be defeated there.

I agree. And I think he will be. My preference is that he be defeated back to the stone age in those states and poll in the single digits.

Do you not understand why I am recommending this? It is simply because activating people on social media is the quickest, cheapest, most effective way of creating a buzz that can really do in a candidate with as many flaws as Romney.

There are three things keeping Romney's campaign afloat right now. 1) Money, 2) Ignorance about his record, 3) The air of inevitability that the media is creating. We can't do anything about #1. We can do a lot about #2 and #3 using social media and that's what I am proposing we do.

That said, I don't discount the other ideas that you have laid out here and would encourage those who are so inclined to go that route to do so by all means.

Allow me to point out one thing. A typical TV ad in a local market is seen by how many? A hundred thousand at a time? Meanwhile, the FB groups I've posted on this link reach hundreds of thousands of eyes with each post. Plus, social media posts have the advantage of having an actual person behind them, not "paid for by Harold McGuirk for Senate".

I think we make a grave error if we don't take advantage of an opportunity that's been dropped right in our laps.
