Creative Ideas to Win at the Election Booths

Post by drjoker »

I was at the doctor's office and noticed that there was an issue of a magazine I didn't recognize, "America's First Freedom". It has no pictures of guns on the cover and it doesn't look like a typical NRA publication. I thought that it was a political commentary. Hoping to find stuff about the health care issue, I picked it up to read. I read article after interesting article and then I finally read the fine print and noticed that it was a NRA publication. It was filled with articles with statistics and facts that back our second amendment rights. It dispels lots of the gun banner's fallacies. Most of all, it did not come across as a "gun nut" rag. A liberal could very well pick it up and read several persuasive articles before noticing that it's a NRA publication.

Now, here's the kicker, this magazine was left there by someone who was NOT the doctor. All the other magazines had the doctor's name on it as the subscriber but this one has someone else's name on it. I thought that this is a very creative way to win hearts and minds in advance of the elections. I will be calling the NRA Monday morning to buy some more issues of "America's First Freedom" to leave behind all the local doctor's offices, mechanic's office, and barber. People brings stuff in to read while they wait and then "forget" about them and leave them behind all the time. One time, I accidentally left my hunter's ed book at the barber. 2 weeks later, I came in for another trim and found it still on the magazine rack. I invite y'al to "accidentally" leave behind some "America's First Freedom," issues on coffee tables of waiting rooms. Don't suspiciously go in just to leave stuff behind, but leave it behind by "accident" when you go for your physical, oil change, etc.

This magazine is available as a choice to receive with your NRA membership. I used to get American Hunter, until I stopped hunting, then American Rifleman, bu switched to this one last year. Good magazine, but be prepared to need some tranquilizers and blood pressure meds to keep you cool. ;-)

I do this all the time. I leave them anywhere I go that I know has a waiting room and appointments. My Doctors office is my favorite place to leave them. :mrgreen:
