Ron Paul to Host His Own National Convention!
Ron Paul plans his own convention | By David Brown
TRIBUNE-REVIEW | Tuesday, June 10, 2008
Maverick GOP presidential candidate Ron Paul has booked an arena in Minneapolis for a "mini-convention" that could steal some of John McCain's thunder just days before he accepts the Republican nomination.
A Paul campaign aide said the Texas congressman hopes to pack about 11,000 supporters into the Williams Arena at the University of Minnesota on Sept. 2, which coincides with the second day of the Republican National Convention at the Xcel Energy Center in neighboring St. Paul.
Paul, 72, will announce details for the rally Thursday at the start of the Texas Republican Convention in Houston.
The campaign hopes the daylong event will "send a message to the Republican Party," Paul campaign spokesman Jesse Benton tells the Tribune-Review.

After digesting all this for some time. I am curious what you think he has in store?
Well, since I do not know nor have any idea. I'm going to suggest expanding the tent. "Unite the clans!" Invite the other 3rd parties. Libs, Constitutes, REFORM, Greens maybe? We need to make this the year of the 3rd party. We need to get as many voices on stage in debate with McBama as we can.
The media attention this gets could help open the door for that.

I know this is going to be a wonderful event and I hope Ron caps it all off by stating he is going to run again in 2012 to bring the Republican Party back from oblivion!

I sent my last 25 slim jims
I hope it's ok I'm putting this message on the Daily Dose.
Great! But will the media notice? Does it matter?
.
This is the same kind of roll-of-the-dice that RP did a year ago in Iowa. When he was excluded from the Iowan for Tax Relief Forum, he held his own event right next door. It out-drew the Iowans' event and pretty much stunned everybody.
But then everything was up for grabs and McCain had not got the "imprimatur" of many republicans; Rudy was the frontrunner.
This is not to fling water on the RP event. It may do amazingly well. We have seen miracles in this campaign and this could be another one. The big question is whether it will bear fruit on a national level. Certainly the Ron Paul supporters will pack the place and holler loudly. But whether this will carry beyond the parking lot is a good question. Sure hope it does.
Amazingly, yes...
I am very impressed with the number of MSM organizations, from FOX to the NY Times, that are already covering the story of Ron Paul's counter convention, and it hasn't yet been officially announced. I think it may generate more media coverage than any of the other counter-rallies... Even the MSM (specifically the NY Times) said that RP's counter convention "could draw attention from the presumed nominee, Senator John McCain." Another article said that Paul is the "real maverick Republican"... and this rally will contrast Paul with the pseudo-maverick McCain.

Good Oportunity for Ron to Endorse Bob Barr!
The best impact we could make on this national election is to keep John McCain from being elected.And force the GOP to take the libertarians (both inside and outside the GOP)seriously...

We must do this!
We need to prepare. Gas prices will be even worse I'm sure. We may want to contact meetups for rides. Talk with friends and family. We will need a place to stay. We need to arrange time off from work immediately, and babysitters if need be. We will need signs. But what is most important, we need to be there. I know we can do better than 11,000 people. St Paul is in the middle of the country. It's better than flying or driving coast to coast.
Ron Paul's convention has all the makings of a historical event that could change politics as we know it. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to make an impact. After this year of enlightenment, we have realized that we are the ones we have been waiting for.

We can do this. Strike that................ We must do this!
we are there
cant wait
i am so there
i live 2 hours away and i wouldnt miss this for the world .i wish they could have done it on labor day though, more people would show up on their day off.the day after may cause some people to lose thier holiday pay if they dont work the day after the holiday. lots of companies have that policy, but i dont care, i will use a vacation day and lose nothing. others wont have that option though.
