In the midst of the many problems our country faces, we should reflect on the fact that in front of us is a unique opportunity very few generations in history have been given. We have the chance to truly change the direction of our country for the better, and to even change the course of history.
Just a few years ago it was unthinkable that such an opportunity would exist. But with the incredible hard work and dedication of thousands, Ron Paul’s support has been steadily growing. Little by little, more and more people understand the importance of freedom and adherence to the Constitution as a solution to the problems we face. But even more important is the fact that Ron Paul’s support is rapidly advancing in crucial early voting states. Now, even the press has been forced to admit the fact that Ron Paul is becoming a “front runner”.
With the growth and organization we have, I believe this election is now ours to lose, especially in Iowa. If Ron Paul loses, I believe it is only because we did not do what we ought to have done when we ought to have done it.
Are you a Ron Paul supporter? Do you believe in defending truth and liberty with everything you have got? If you have not already done so, now is the time to take your support to the next level and get involved with the voter phone calling program.
The first primary vote is now just a few short weeks away, not much time at all. Over the next few weeks, one of the most important things for Ohio liberty lovers to do than call, call, and call. The last vestiges of our constitution and the founding vision of this country still remain at our disposal, and we need to take advantage of that to the fullest extent that we can. We truly have an opportunity to execute a peaceful revolution through the existing political channels. Your best weapon is your telephone. The voter phone calling system is a proven election winning strategy, but it will only work if the FULL grassroots power is behind it. With every single Ron Paul supporter involved right now, we can do this.

Some tips to help you maximize efficiency:
1) Ask the first question immediately. Do not say anything else before then (Example: Do not ask something like, “Would you like to answer a few questions?” Posing this question gives a person a way out of the conversation.
2) Smile when asking a question. This changes the tone of your voice and makes you seem more friendly and approachable.
3) Ask questions with a raising tone in your voice. Utilize question tonality when asking questions (purpose: makes it more likely a person will want to answer the question).
4) Make the question multiple choice by giving the options to the person, this gives the person an easy way to choose. Do not linger on the phone. Run through the list quickly so the poll is not taxing to the person who is answering the question.
When is the best time to make calls?
ANYTIME…well, almost…is the best time to make calls but for a greater survey ratio, try to make calls during non-working hours in the time-zone you’re calling. Out of respect of our future Ron Paul supporters on the other line,
The system will not let us call outside acceptable times
I tried to register but nothing seems to happen/not working?
Be patient and try again later. The immediate success of the program and explosion of use has caught the system/servers off guard and causing some minor temporary glitches. There are many calls to be made and many more callers are needed to do so, our systems will catch up to your enthusiasm very soon!
Can I use Skype, Google voice or the like to make calls?
NOT recommended but if you choose to do so, make sure you have a high bandwidth internet connection. Haven’t found anyone who was able to get GoogleVoice working. Here is a short walk-through to get you started phone banking with Skype:
