GOP organizing at gas stations as new 2022 midterms strategy: report

By Bob Brigham
Published March 19, 2022

Republicans have a new strategy designed to exploit voter frustration over gas prices as the 2022 midterms heat up.

"The Republican National Committee is launching an initiative to register voters at gas stations in response to the record surge in gas prices that has Americans paying over $6 per gallon in some areas," Fox News reported Saturday.

According to AAA, the average price nationwide is $4.27 a gallon for regular gasoline.

I think we should stand right next to these people with signs that say the republicans want to take away your social security....so that you can't buy gas or food and then have a big picture of every republican .....and besides lets have a picture of Laura Ingraham being chauffeured to work.....

And if the freedom argument doesn't sway onlookers, just add "a little temporary sacrifice at the gas pump is worth it, so that Russia doesn't eventually directly threaten us again.

5. One can only register new voters. Harassing those pumping gas to get somewhere not a great idea.

Also if gas prices continue to go down, it could backfire. Signing up because of high prices and seeing the prices fall could have opposite effect than GOP intended.
