hi dudes! I got this idea from Jorge today at the meet-up. This is re-posted from facebook:
I'm using a publishing company to make some small booklets called "the pocket guide to ron paul." I will sell them at-cost once I make them all--at this time it looks like they will come out to about $5.00 each for a 40-page booklet outlining the basics of Ron Paul's voting record and positions, plus links and references to other Ron Paul resources.
These will be great to pass out at meetups, rallies, sign-holdings, and other gatherings. You can charge for them or not, but I would rather you not make a personal profit from them.
I am totally happy to cite you as a source if you can help me SIMPLIFY some of his major platforms and beliefs. Here are the categories I have so far (I'll probably group them by personal/public issue):
The War in Iraq/The War on Terror/National Security (or should these be separate?)
Taxes
Health Care
Abortion
Gun Control
The War on Drugs
Border Security
Freedom and Personal Liberty
The Economy and Monetary Policy
Education
The Role of Government
Social Security
The Federal Budget
Free Trade
Property Rights
The format I want to use for each section is
1. a bullet-point list outlining his basic position at-a-glance
2. a more in-depth explanation (3-4 paragraphs)
3. quotes by ron paul about that specific issue
4. resources to learn more
Can some of you help me by picking a topic and gathering some information about it? I can do this all myself eventually but it will get done much faster if I have help--plus I really would like to hear the opinions of others in this endeavor. If I did the whole thing myself it may end up one-sided or even a little overenthusiastic. I want it to be objective, factual, brief, and clear.
Feel free to send me a message if you want to help or if you already have some information I can use. Of course I can format it, etc. If you help me, you will receive credit in the publication.
xoxo
