WHEW!!! busier and busier

Ok just a few short words then ill get to the pictures because I know thats all you guys are interested in anyway. We had a HUGE canvassing event last weekend in Rochester and afterwards we met up in Portsmouth for a little gathering, where there were a few reporters, and a great speech! so thanks to scott and charlotte for hosting that! ps the brand new camera batteries i had were bad so no pics on that...

we have had a LOT of new volunteers come in this week, we have rented several more houses, so i wont be able to be everywhere to keep you up with the latest BUT i will do what i can and I will keep you updated with at least ONE of the houses goings on...

i can't think of anything else so ill just caption the pics...

new volunteers, fresh off the plane, ready and EXCITED to work

Vijay working on the next BIG project!!



New packages are always exciting especially when you don't know whats inside!



i feel like i should just move into the airport im here so much :)




I wonder if Ron will make it legal to ride on the baggage carousel??



wouldn't it be cool to make this into a ron paul airmobile??? and pick up the OLFD members from all over and fly them here???? how about Operation: FLY FOR FREEDOM!
(go ahead and laugh but have you seen the blimp yet?)


The advantages of business canvassing: we met jeremy (pictured below) working at a gas station, and he now LOVES ron paul! he gets rid of bunches of materials for us, converts people left and right, and is going to the tea party with us too!!!




Meet the Staffrents.... andy and norman two of our hardworking campaign staffers ready to help us out... these guys are awesome we go in with an empty car we come out with slim jims, signs, stickers, tee shirts, YOU NAME IT! and they fed us too!

Canvassing Portsmouth



Just got home from canvassing, we hit downtown portsmouth, which was mostly apartment buildings that we couldn't get into but we found plenty of people who wanted to take our lit. I talked to this one guy named Tom, who liked what RP had to say, but didn't think he had a chance. By the time I left he was fully aware of how much of a chance RP actually has and after explaining the importance of voting on principle rather than who i thought might win he was more than willing to "waste" his vote anyway...

The ride home was scary... frozen roads, bad tires, and people driving like idiots = me closing my eyes the whole way home. There is a new volunteer coming tonight so that should be exciting :) here are a couple of pics I snapped today.... i threw in a pretty one for ya and a short video above.

EXCITEMENT IN NEW HAMPSHIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ron Paul supporters from all over the country came to new hampshire yesterday to help with a HUGE canvassing event to do voter IDing and spread the word about ron paul. we met at different locations throughout the state and instructions, packets, and ron paul paraphanalia was distributed.








then afterwards we all met up at Murphy's Taproom in Manchester to celebrate, meet everyone else and just have a good time. Murphys is owned by a Free state project member and they love Ron Paul. There was also a Monarchs game going on at the verizon building and we all held signs outside while people were leaving the game. Ron Paul came by to tell everyone thanks for being there and volunteering.

here are some of the pics i took and the video of Ron Pauls speech.

CNN Youtube debate - and Beach bonfires UPDATED!!!!!!!!!! DEC 1st to add pictures

We headed to portsmouth to watch the CNN-Youtube debate with the Portsmouth meetup group. We got introduced to everyone and as usual, as with all Ron Paul supporters we have met everyone was awesome. As we were ordering dinner the debate started and we got some attention from the other bar patrons when we were applauding Ron taking the stage. Then all throughout the night i kept noticing people from other parts of the bar coming over to watch the debate with us. we had a great time jack bought all of us OLFD people dinner (we had the best pizza ever) and I personally thought the debate went awesome. RP made himself look great, he stood up for himself, he was passionate, and all the other guys made them selves look like complete idiots. so heres a couple of pics of us at the debate watch party






afterwards we stopped at a gas station to drop off materials to a guy that we talked to the night before who was now a hardcore RP supporter, we got him to come canvass with us saturday and gave away 3 yard signs. Then we came back here and a few of us went down to the beach and held the first annual Ron Paul Revolution Beach Bonfire :) heres some of the pics from that























a clam i found

General happenings

We have been super busy the last few days, I haven't had a chance to do much updating so heres the scoop.

tuesday a guy named bill called and said he had seen our video blogs online and had some gifts for us. he stopped by and brought each of us a gift certificate for a local grocery store. This was the best gift we could have gotten, feeding 10 people isn't easy. so heres bill giving us the gifts. I will upload the video in the player on ronpaultulsa.com/NH tomorrow.




later in the evening we went to Murphys in Manchester and hung out with Ron Paul supporters and FSP members. Tuesday nights we all meet up and everyone gets together just to relax and talk about what we have been doing for the last few days. heres some pics of that as well.

this is linda, you might know some of her work... ahem the mosaic ad, founders flyers? she is super awesome and the guy next to her is Paul... he has the coolest tea party poster on his van.




Trevor lyman and jesse the manchester meetup organizer

Not so free lobsters

Charles brought home two live lobsters last night and just laid them on the floor. They were super cool, I have personally never touched a live lobster, much less one crawling on my living room floor. The kids thought they were pets and when they went into the pot they were like "where did our pets go?" So the lobster was steamed and from what I hear it was very good. I myself have a general rule about not eating anything I have petted within the last hour, so I opted out. But it was a fun experience I thought i would share. Here are some pics and you can find the video at www.ronpaultulsa.com/NH in the video player. (the fish was dead)
