Paul A Palooza 2008
Supporter-Bomb
in
Las Vegas, NV
January 12-13, 2008
This is a supporter-bomb. Instead of donations, we are going to import Ron Paul supporters into Las Vegas by the thousands. Events will kick off Saturday, January 12th, 2008 at around noon with the biggest Ron Paul march ever. It will be on the Las Vegas Strip. You saw all the videos from the Tea Party marches. Imagine thousands of Ron Paul supporters in full regalia parading the famous Strip.
Saturday night will be an evening of fun-filled entertainment. We are in the process of securing a venue and some great entertainers. Tickets will be sold for this event, with the proceeds being used for activities targeting registered Republicans in Las Vegas in the lead up to the caucus. The caucus is Jan. 19th. Anyone that comes for Paul A Palooza is encouraged to stay for the week after and help us win.
Sunday will most likely be the first ever Ron Paul Las Vegas Convention. This is where we’ll get a chance to network with supporters from all across the country, plan strategy, and conduct training for the upcoming caucus in Nevada. It is our hope that ideas generated here will translate into political victories in other states.
Please get the word out, and keep this weekend clear on your calendars. www.paulapalooza2008.com is the official site of this event, and if tickets are sold online, this is where it will happen. All official news about this event will be posted here. If you don't see it here, it is not true. Contact info, and a great website design are on the way. Come back often for updates.
This event is brought to you by the creators of the Las Vegas Tea Party '07 - members of the Las Vegas Ron Paul Meet Up.

Paul A Palooza Update
Hey Paul A Palooza,
Keep up the great work! The word is getting out. We are now featured on the Truckers for Ron Paul website (http://www.truckers4ronpa...) and the Granny Warriors might be coming (http://www.grannywarriors...). Please don’t let up, as we are approaching the 2 week mark, and we want people to get the best deals possible on airfare.
The venue has been decided. I'll make an announcement tomorrow; 100 hotel rooms have been blocked for this at a fixed rate of $99 for Saturday night. This offer will be available from the time of the announcement to January 5, 2008, or until sold out. They are even going to allow Saturday night check-in, which almost never happens in Las Vegas. I encourage everyone to book at the location when I announce it. This place is going out of their way to help us, because it is a Ron Paul event. So even if there is a better deal out there, if you can afford it, please spend the money at our venue until all the rooms are sold. They have sucked up a lot of other costs for us. When I announce, I will include a special code, and link to book your hotel room.
I have procured an alternative for those that cannot afford a hotel, or who enjoy communal living. It is a vacant building, and I will have dozens of brand-spanking new cots (still in the box) for you. There are 2 bathrooms on site, but no showers. There is not heat currently, but if there is enough interest, I will work out a solution for that. I will create some kind of reservation system for this. We could easily fit a couple hundred people comfortably in this building.
I will also be making an announcement shortly on entertainment. Tickets sales will commence soon. Stay tuned!
140 people are coming to Paul A Palooza as of 3 p.m. Thursday, December 27, 2007
RSVP and Friends
Great idea on the mini blimp! We could have footage of our freedom march!

Penn and Teller Update
I have contacted Penn to let him know about the event, and hopefully he will be interested in attending. If I get any additional information, I will post it here.

Ron Paul Blimp on Ebay!
I would be cool to have a mini-blimp at the party!
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eB...
Blimp Paul A Palooza
Maybe one of those mini-blimps they fly in the arena at NBA games. Add a video camera and it could be like the novel "All Tomorrow's Parties" http://www.amazon.com/All...
Paul A Palooza Speakers
Some of us may not realize that Ron Paul is not just the Lone Ranger, he is part of a long-term organized freedom movement. Former UNLV professor Murray Rothbard was a founding father of that movement. Other notables include current UNLV professor Hans Hoppe, Lew Rockwell of the eponymous website, Doug French who is a bank VP in Las Vegas, and Phoenix talk show host Ernie Hancock who is currently in NH campaigning for RP.
So, maybe we could get some of these freedom movement (and RP supporting) people to speak. I would especially like to hear long-time RP friend Lew Rockwell, who turned his web site to RP advocacy last summer at http://www.lewrockwell.co....
Yes!
Great suggestions, any combination of these speakers would be amazing!
We are envisioning and planning for a two day entertainment filled weekend with the freedom march and Paul-a-Palooza on Saturday, January 12th and the first ever Ron Paul Convention on Sunday, January 13th. Then, we are encouraging all out of town supporters to stick around and help us with our activities geared to secure a Nevada state political victory for Dr. No!
I might consider flying in
I might consider flying in for this, looks like I could get a flight for a little over $200. What are the chances I could hook up with a local for a place to stay?
Chances are good.
The local Meet Up is gearing up for this. One person has room for 30, and there are offers from members to house individuals. As soon as we're ready we'll send out a FeedBurner blast and post details on the website.
Today is the day after Christmas, so I'm hoping the venue and entertainment makes great progress today.
Excellent Idea! Now that's being creative and innovative!

You guys are GREAT! Paul A Palooza!
Can someone post a headline that I need volunteers in Charleston South Carolina?
We have a house here that was donated by a supporter. We need to keep the momentum going post NH. Please come to Charleston and help canvass. Hit the streets of Charleston and travel SC.

The SC primary is Jan 19.
Just Courious
Is there any chance the main man Ron Paul will show up for this event,that would be really nice.
Depends on You!
That depends on you Jimbo. The campaign is aware of our activities; however, I have not contacted them about asking him to come. I am busy trying to put together the details of the event, and my hope is that all of you will organize, pledge to come, and then contact the campaign yourselves and attempt to entice Dr. Paul to come.
Today is Christmas Day and we already have over 80 pledges. Just wait until the end of the week....we should have a lot more!
Concert and Convention
I'm loving this. This is the Ron Paul magic and shows why RP will be our next President.
The concert sounds huge, with thousands expected. That will need a large hall. What about adding in non-Vegas acts from national performers to regional bands from other areas. For the rest of the country, could you consider streaming video over the internet? The Boston Tea Party was streamed for around $1,000 with donations requested when people started the stream. Our friends in Boston already know how to make it happen....
The convention on Sunday also sounds great. It would be great if Vijay from OLFoD and Trevor from Ron Paul Blimp could speak about what they have learned about how to promote RP's candidacy. Maybe we could have sessions on all aspects of campaigning and some motivational sessions also. Things are looking good for building the long-term movement necessary to restore the constitution. There are a lot of things to explore. Having Ron Paul there would top it all off.
Endless Possibilities
You have some really good ideas. We can do so many things at the convention and they would easy enough to implement. We know we want networking, phone banking to reach Nevadans, and strategizing at the convention. Streaming video and talks by Trevor and Vijay would be icing on the cake!
I just contacted Trevor...please everyone else do so as well!
The possibilities are endless! And, indeed, we are laying the foundation to ensure the freedom movement is here to stay. This is history in the making and so exciting!
Great Ideas
...regarding Trevor and Vijay. If you guys start sending them emails and making phone calls, and Ron Paul HQ too, hopefully we can draft them all to come. My contact email is on the Paul A Palooza site...if you can get them to say yes, have them send me an email.
I hope to have more details for you all tomorrow regarding some other exciting ideas about the convention.
Accurate count!!
Your feed burner only allows one email to count as one person. To get a more accurate count it needs to all a place to include everyone coming within a family etc. In regards to sessions etc, I just got done reading exactly what a republic is vs. a democracy. A session on that and what the founders of our country stood for might be motivating.
Videos added
I just added some videos from our last Ron Paul party.

If you can't go to Las Vegas or want to do more - check it out - pledge today!
I doubt I'll be able to go, but...
If I went, it would be cool if there were a poker tournament supporting the Paul campaign. I have a feeling a lot of us play hold'em, and it just sounds like a lot of fun to play with fellow RP supporters. If you do this, it'll make me REALLY want to fly out there, and I HATE flying...
WIth Penn & Teller PLUS the poker, well, I'd be in trouble. Because I'd HAVE to go! :)
JMR
I'll Take Your Poker Tournament and I'll Raise You...
...a few phone calls. I'll tell you what sarcasmo, if you promise to help us make some phone calls while you are here, then I'll see what I can do about adding a Ron Paul Poker Tournament to the schedule.

I signed up
I signed up but it only counted me as one. My girlfriend is going also. How many others are not being counted?
Baseline
Hi YOWD5,
We are just getting things going, and I want to establish a baseline count. Just as with the tea party it is not going to be 100% accurate as there are a lot of variables.
I'll add your girlfriend to the count, and I might in the near future add some kind of function for multiple RSVP. In the meantime I encourage each individual to put in their email.
At the Las Vegas Tea Party'07 we had about 120 RSVPs (including +1, +2, etc. guests) at our local Meet Up site, but more than 250 people showed up.

Okay guys, we've got the most basic of myspace pages up for Paul-a-Palooza. Please add as your friend here http://profile.myspace.co...
As I said, this is a super basic page since I just made it from my folks house where they only have dial-up! More tweaks to come...
WE NEED YOU!!!!
Nevada is in play for getting Ron Paul elected as POTUS. Iowa and New Hampshire is the focus, but Nevada needs you too!!
1. Las Vegas Tea Party was a blast and drummed up support and more grassroots activists. We registered a lot of Republicans for the Caucus on 1/19/07.
2. The next week, the same group launched the Community Crusade to show the compassionate side of the LV Meetup. We coordinated donations and assistance for the underprivileged and homeless.
3. Boots are on the ground walking their precincts locating delegates and other RP supporters.
4 Paul A Palooza rocks Vegas and Ron Paul "Shocks and Awes" the talking heads and pundits continuing his unpredicted massive turnout in Iowa, New Hampshire and now Nevada.
Help make it a reality!!!!!! GAME ON!
If I can get a reasonably
If I can get a reasonably priced flight, I'm coming!

Unprecedented
This is BIG people! The possibilities are endless for venues and entertainment in Vegas.
This would NEVER happen for any other presidential candidate. We are indeed making history here.
The beauty of the supporter bomb is that the Ron Paul Revolutionary army will help win the state of Nevada for Paul. Then...that army can go help to win the next state for Paul! This concept is comparable to the Deadheads following the Grateful Dead around! I love it!

Tracking Numbers
I'm at a Christmas Party and getting yelled at for coming to the computer so often. The website is:
http://www.paulapalooza20...
I'll try to have FeedBurner up by morning, so people can pledge their intent to come.
Regarding Penn and Teller - I'm working on great entertainment. Trust me, you won't be disappointed. I would like to see you all start making noise with the campaign about drafting Ron Paul to come speak at our event.
Penn and Teller!!!
See if you can get Penn and Teller to show up. Penn, who happens to live in Vegas, is a libertarian who I am pretty sure supports Ron Paul.
GREAT idea!!
Try to get him!
Fuck you, Frank!
Run, Ron, Run!
Make sure you stop at the Ron Paul Truck stop

Sounds like a great plan,
Sounds like a great plan, and I'm only 5 hours away, I'd love to go....
...but is there enough time to organize something this huge? Jan 12 isn't that far away.
Absolutely!
The possibilities are endless for venues and entertainment in Vegas. And...as we are finding out as we make calls around town, there is lots of support for Ron Paul.
This town was built to throw things together at the last minute! This will get done!
WE NEED AN ATTENDEE COUNTER
We need a website to keep track of how many will be going to vegas for the Ron Paul march. This could be a fantastic way to show our numbers.
