Fellow Grassrooters,
The New Orleans meet-up #200 is trying to get a uniquely New Orleans idea off the ground. Super Tuesday coincides with Mardi Gras day, a huge celebration in Louisiana. We want to Ron Paul Super Tuesday with custom Ron Paul Mardi Gras Beads. In my experience, everybody loves mardi gras and the beads, join us in our grassroots effort. Their are 3 parts to our effort.
1. Raise $6000 to purchase 2500 mardi gras beads and send them out to as many Super Tuesday state's media outlets as possible. The envelope would include the collectible Mardi Gras bead and a press release mentioning all the things New Orleans grassroots will be doing and other state's meetup groups on that day. Every news station will probably cover Mardi Gras, and a great tie-in would be the Ron Paul bead to go along with their Mardi Gras coverage and leading into their Super Tuesday coverage. It's an excellent opportunity to once again prove how creative and unique Ron Paul's run for president is.
2. Sell individual beads for $15 as a collectible. $5 covers overhead at cost, and $10 goes to buying more beads for the media blitz and also our meetup canvassing mardi gras parade routes. Within the US. Contact us if your internationally located.
3. Your meet-up group can enjoy the Ron Paul Mardi Gras by getting together $450 for a gross of beads (12 dozen). I think it would leave the McCain/Romney/Huckabee supporters saying "where is my custom bead?" The beads come out to about $3 a bead. Contact me if you have any further questions.
Again these will make great collectibles. I don't think we'll have more than 10,000 beads made. If you would like more information, sample pictures of the type of bead we are ordering visit our website
http://www.ronpaulbeads.com. This is sure to be a unique effort to get out the Paul name on Super Tuesday. Let the good times roll! Just a reminder everything is being done at cost from the manufacturer. Of course, good ideas usually come late, so time is of the essence. We need at least $6000 to get things moving for 2500 beads, and then anything extra within a week or so we can increase the order.
Sincerely,
Brett Williams
