The youth still have energy, and this time, it's all for Paul. <br>

Another interesting web site - Blue Republican:<br>
<p>"<i>We are people who have never before thought of joining the
Republican party, <br>
but are going to do so for one year to ensure that Ron Paul wins the
Republican nomination for President in 2012.<br>
<br>
Most of us identify as Democrats or Independents and/or supported Obama
in 2008. We believe that on issues that matter most – war vs. peace
(Iraq, Yemen etc.), civil liberties (Patriot Act etc.), and crony
corporatism (bailouts etc.) – Obama has pursued a course similar to
George Bush. Our reasoning is laid out in this article by Robin Koerner
on the Huffington Post that “went viral”, coining the term “Blue
Republicans” for those of more liberal sensibilities who are
registering Republican specifically for Ron Paul.</i>"</p>

<pre wrap="">In December 2003/January 2004 - when I was a graduate student - I
spent the winter break in Ames, Iowa, as a volunteer for Kucinich,
coordinating the campaign in Ames.
I am thinking of doing something similar now - for Ron Paul.
The Iowa Republican caucus is essentially an open primary. You just
have to show up, register as a Republican, and then you can vote.
A new Bloomberg poll shows that the race is a four way statistical
tie: Cain, Paul, Romney, Gingrich.
This means that any mobilization effort could tip the balance.
What if we got a group of people from C-U, picked a target where we
thought we could be useful (the Kucinich campaign sent me to Ames
because it's a campus town), rented an apartment for a month, and
worked on mobilizing peace voters for the caucus on January 3?
