Persuading by Words

Here is the text that I use for the main copy of the Join the GOPrising campaign. It is also what is sent as the email when you invite people to join the GOPrising using our form email capabilities.

To elect Ron Paul, we must first ensure he is nominated. To nominate him, we must become Republican.

I am or have become a Republican because I believe in the core principles of the Republican party. I believe that the Republican party has fallen away from those principles. The only Presidential candidate who can restore those principles is Ron Paul.

Underlying GOP principles is the rock of this nation. The Constitution is what unites us as Americans. We the people established and ordained the Constitution. We have allowed it to be eroded, distorted and ignored. Only we can restore it.

We can only restore it by electing a President who honors it and who has the integrity to carry out his oath of office. Will you join me in becoming a Republican and helping to elect Ron Paul as our next President?

But there may well be more persuasive or personalized arguments. Perhaps some for general use. Perhaps some for a specific group of friends or a particular issue.

Tell us what works for you by commenting below. We would like to create a little library of whatever works at getting people to join the GOPrising and that gets Republicans to declare their support for Ron Paul. That way we can learn from each other and use what works to spread the word.

Only one of them will be able to be used by us to send the standard email. But all of them will be able to be cut-n-pasted and used in an email from you - with the URL to your personalized page so that you can see how it works for you.
