Sept. 2 Mini-Convention in Minn too big--moving to Target Center

0 votes

Tuesday, July 22, 2008

If they expected us to retire quietly from the scene, the political elite are in for a surprise.

Today I am making some very big announcements.

First, from August 31 to September 2 in Minneapolis, we will host a handful of events that will shake the political establishment. Everything will culminate on Tuesday with the official launch of the Campaign for Liberty at the Rally for the Republic.

The Campaign for Liberty will be the largest organization for peace, freedom, the Constitution, and sound money in American history. It will launch in grand fashion with lots of special guests and - if the early television and print inquiries we've received are any indication - plenty of media attention.

I would like to personally invite you and your family to join me and thousands of others in Minneapolis for these events and send a message to the Republican Party.

Tickets will go on sale for the Rally for the Republic this Friday, July 25 @ 10AM CST. We want this to be an unforgettable day, so we are holding a ticket bomb all day Friday in the tradition of our famous money bombs. How many seats can we sell on the first day?

In patriotic fashion all tickets will cost $17.76, so you can afford to bring the whole family.

This leads me to the second big announcement. After measuring the excitement and enthusiasm, we decided that the Williams Arena at the University of Minnesota was just too small to hold you. Therefore, we are making a significant upgrade. The Rally for the Republic will now take place at the Target Center, the largest arena in Minneapolis!

This promises to be the most spirited and provocative political event of the year! We held some very large rallies during the presidential campaign, but I have never attempted anything of this scale before. Its success rests entirely in your hands.

Later this week I will announce two internationally renowned musicians as headliners for the Rally for the Republic. We'll also be joined by rock star Aimee Allen, NBC's Tucker Carlson, Barry Goldwater Jr., Gov. Gary Johnson, conservative stalwart Grover Norquist, former Reagan deputy Attorney General Bruce Fein, presidential historian Doug Wead, MTV's Adam Curry, musician Mark Scibilia, and Frank Sinatra impersonator Rick Ellis. Other special guests will be announced soon.

My staff has been working overtime to provide you with three full days of entertainment. Please visit the schedule page of the website and read all about upcoming events. We also have a lodging page to help you find accommodations in Minneapolis.

Together we are taking back our government and restoring the republic. Please join me in Minneapolis to kickoff the Campaign for Liberty and support our Revolution. Can I count on you to be there?

In Liberty,

P.S. I know that you have done so much already, but with both major party nominees threatening to lead us into bankruptcy at home and more wars abroad, the success of the Rally for the Republic and the launch of the Campaign for Liberty is crucial. Please do what you can to be in Minneapolis August 31 - September 2 and send a loud and clear message of freedom, peace, and prosperity.

The DP is proof that the grassroots support for Ron Paul and his peaceful message of individual liberty is large, real, and not going away!

Priceless

The American Idol Tour is at this arena on Aug 31. Here's our chance to wake these puppies up. Thru out this whole process we've been saying people are too clueless to vote and all they are interested in is American Idol... Here they are delivered right to us. Priceless!!!

unbelieveable ..

Idol there at the same time. Sounds like a great opportunity!

Things seem to be just falling into place. Revolution UNITE!

Good to hear.

I was concerned that the thing might be canceled due to only a couple thousand people showing up at the March, when it was supposed to be massive. They need to get this thing in the media more, somehow, to make sure it has a massive turnout that can't be ignored.

Don't blame me if there's no voice for liberty opposing McCain and Obama in the Presidential debates. I donated to Ron Paul Libertarian, Bob Barr's campaign.

"How can we justify to the unemployed and underemployed in the United States the incredible cost of maintaining a global empire?" - Dr. Ron Paul

Many of us

Did not make it to DC, opting instead for St Paul. Speaking for my little group of 5 we could not afford both events and we chose the one we thought was more vital.. St Paul Baby!!! Even tho it is 3 times farther away.... I expect a huge crowd and can't wait to rock that house with all my brothers & sisters in liberty! woooo hoooooo

You've got to be kidding

If you don't believe me, sit there and count each head. There is no way that that is a photograph of that many people.

Count a row. There are about 25 people in each row at the most. Then count how many rows it goes back. It looks to me like it goes back about 40 rows at the most. Multiply them together. That comes out to 1000 people. Ok let's say I'm off. Double that then. That makes 2000 people.

Preferred

Confirmation: Not only are you stupid, you are also blind. 1000 to 2000 people does not equal the march numbers but does equal the amount of drugs you've done this week. Must be time for you to take another.

A couple thousand!? A COUPLE THOUSAND!!!???

You are such an ass clown BillyDee! Everyone knows DC police official estimate is between 10,000-15,000 at the DC MArch and all the videos support that and you know it!

It is because of the turnout at the March in DC that Dr Paul feels more comfortable in changing the rally in St Paul to the biggest stadium in the city!

Why dont you go drink a six pack of Jones soda, take a drive to the border and pee on an electric fence! !

10-15,000????

LOL! Yeah right! I've seen the pictures. There is no way you can convince me that that is 10,000 to 15,000 people. It's a couple thousand at the most.

Look at the two part video

Look at the two part video of the march and count people. Considering that the videographer didn't even capture the entire march, I'm pretty satisfied with the numbers.

Fine...

Sit your lazy, good for nothing, punkA$$, @ home troll. You are useless. Since you were not there like I was, you don't deserve to comment. Go to a McCain forum or elsewhere. You must be a troll for being so obtuse. You don't discourage. On-On Patriots

I repeat...Why dont you drink a six pack of Jones soda

Drive to the border... and pee on an electric fence!!!!
And please announce it here before you go ...because it would be a great fundraiser for the St Paul rally!

Oh Yeah

This is GREAT BABY! The Target Center is the best location in Minnesota....... The ecel is newer, but the Target Center is in the heart of the action. We'll blow the roof off that puppy...............

Here's the Target Center website link:

Yes.....

It's real. I received the e-mail from Ron Paul also. I'm definitely going to be there. Actually I'm going to work 3 extra nursing shifts to make sure the members in my travel posse can afford to go. We went to D.C and had a ball. Money tight for some. So doing what I can to make sure they get there. Let's work hard Patriots to ensure that we and someone we know can get there.
Also let's try to recruit 5-10 people to join the campaign for liberty so we can reach our goal of 100,000.

Cheers

One correction in the title.

It is not a "Mini" convention, it is a super convention. It will be bigger than the silly GOP one going on nearby.

Poster has provided no link, no name, no ID and no references. Sounds bogus to me too. Either that or the poster is a moron and should not be allowed to post anything of consequence if they can't keep it legit and accurate.
