Romney has bought 2.5 million dollars’ worth of ad in Florida, already playing; Newt, so far, none. Newt needs a serious ground effort, and Santorum is going to double team Newt with Romney, that’s what I have read...
I posted this before in this forum, but the mods took it away to bloggers’ forum. I hope it is okay to post it here:
As part of my neighborhood grassroots activity for Newt, we are planning to do a sticky-note tsunami in Florida with individual sticky-notes for different grocery items, and at the gas pumps.
For example, we would like to do stickies for specific items, like a loaf of bread, a dozen eggs, pasta, etc. and post them on the shelves where the products are located, with a very simple text, something along the lines: A Loaf of Bread, Obama Inauguration Day $___ ; Loaf of Bread today $___ . Newt Gingrich balanced the budget 4 times, passed welfare reform, helped Pres. Reagan create 11 million jobs. Vote for Newt. He knows how to fix things. www.newt.org
My problem is, I can’t find a listing of specific grocery retail prices ranging those years, just some general stuff on prices of corn, soybeans and stuff. I have looked and looked and looked, and I’ve have been unable to find a range for gas prices through those years, also. I was wondering if someone might have a link for these price fluctuations, for very specific, and very many grocery items.
Florida, you know, has many seniors, on very fixed incomes. Till now, we’ve had all of our attention focused on SC, but it is Sunday night already, and we can’t find this price information anywhere.
I know this probably doesn’t sound like a very sophisticated effort, but we like it, and it is something we do well – swarming. If anyone here could help us out, I would greatly appreciate it. We have all our sticky-notes bought, and people lined up, ready to write them out for us, we just need some good texts, and these prices. I would so appreciate any help the seasoned, wise, and prolific members of Free Republic could give us.
Thank you very much.
Our bank for customer birthdays sends out “ON THIS DATE” in a cascade of decades up to “TODAY”, covering consumer prices and relative events. Google up on that angle, as in Prices NOW and THEN, or similar.
“Swarming messages I know were done by the French Resistance, under the Vichey regime who entertained Hitler as quite tolerable.
Great idea. It worked then! Congratulations!
