so I think you are saying you want to knock on a door, hand them something, yet undefined, and then start a chat with them about Newt... and have enuf info at your fingertips to answer most of their questions, which is pretty much what I do... either door to door, or through the phones.
So then what should the handout be? You know your state, your town, your neighborhood, what would speak to them most strongly about Newt? One subject, two, three? some people take their laptops with a favorite newt video loaded, and just stand there while the person watches the video, maybe about 3 min, there are millions to choose from... and a vid can really be effective..
I think if it is lively you can get most people through three short paragraphs... but it has to be bright and easy-to-read... Newt has changed the campaign to his 2.50 gas branding, and a lot of people are attributing that to his rise in the national polls starting again...
a phone script sounds like it might be good for you... you get to pick your state, you get a script, and little by little, after maybe the first couple days, you get some confidence and start adlibbing, and your personality starts to shine through. There were 150,000 phone bank calls made in to SC... and Newt felt strongly they were game changers of a sort...
Maybe these few thoughts will be a jumping off point for you... and you can move ahead on your own, or if you need anything from me, please don’t hesitate...
Yes and you are brave.

I don't have a laptop, I wish I did. I have a kindle. ha! What do I want to say? What is most important? I suppose being prepared for the answers to a pushed and warped portrait of Gingrich. I think I am ready on the moon carp, I am ready on the personal baggage line, I am ready on not serving his county line. I need a better and comfortable spot to refute the house charges. He was found innocent but I don't have a much better come-back than that

That is the problem, we can't just drop off a flyer, we need to engage folk. I think his 2.50 gas message is fantastic and resonates. His gear is a pain to find. It shouldn't be. I want him to win more than anything.

I tried a couple of times to go to the link you provided and it gave me a 4oh4 and I couldn't find a phone bank volunteer link on Gingrich page.

I follow your posts and admire your work and thoughts. I hope you don't take my feedback as negative because I want more than anything for Gingrich to be president. We deserve nothing less--he is the best.
