Wow. Less than 10,000 going to R4R??? Sad.

I am so tired of the negative view on this. I see this as positive that 8000 plus are going. People are hurting out there and tapped out. You don't think 100,000 would go if they could afford it?

Stop comparing a couple hundred thousand thinking people to 250 million sheeple who believe the old media.

I would love to go but I can't afford it financially or taking the time off work. I am broke because I poured every extra dollar I had into this campaign. I am stuck with 3 mortgages because I am invested in the real estate market then the bottom dropped out and I am wondering if I am going to loose it all now.

I am active in my local party, was a delegate to my state convention, ran for PCP. Stop acting like not being able to make this rally means people have stopped supporting the cause.

While this rally is important for the troops it is not the be all end all. It will be largely ignored by old media or spun as usual and not be any big turning point in recruiting people to the cause. It will mostly be for rallying the current troops which is important but again not the be all end all. Eight thousand plus is a huge turn out among as small a group as we are. And I bet many will buy tickets at the door.

Oh yeah..they sharing the list of names..addresses..phone #s..credit card info..everything..straight to the Fed...
I wonder if they 1st cousins to AT&T???

Freedom is another way to God...A corrupt government is a straight way to hell.

food freedom,one seed at a time.

The counter is not in real time.This should be updating but it just crawls.

"FEE BEER AND FREE FOOD", maybe that will help

Because I got laid off and I'm joining a Ronvoy that will let me "pay" my share with a credit card at the pump - I'll be eating a lot of gas station food. Otherwise, I could not attend.

I imagine lots of our young people are off to college - I know I'm seeing my son off today and he wishes he could go to the rally with me but he can't - he'll be starting a Ron Paul group in his university though so the C4L is well and alive.

avoiding ticketmaster. They are getting them at the door.

Tickets for th R4R will be going like hotcakes.

Besides I'm sure there are a few folks going to the RNC who aren't complete f'tards. They'll at least wander over to see what all the hubbub is about.

Or to see Sara Evans...

I would definitely be attending if it was within driving distance of my home. By that, I mean being able to drive there, attend and then drive home the same day. I would do that every day of the rally if I was closer...

But, I am too far. And for me it would be too costly. I cannot afford the expense.

I've wondered if it's good to buy tickets to help sell out the event even if you can't attend. In effect make it a donation.

Not some Rally they have to travel across the country for.

I wouldn't even be mildly interested in politics if it wasn't for the gov. going completely nuts.

People want action, not entertainment.

UPDATE: The free cards have been claimed.

Okay, so who's going, that wants FREE War/Peace cards to distribute in MN?

I've been making this offer for about 45 minutes now, and (frankly) I'm astonished there have, thus far, been no takers.

250 FREE business-sized cards

Full-color War/Peace image image on front.
B&W "CampaignForLiberty.com" on back (maybe mission statement, too)

Sent directly to your hotel for you to pick up on August 31st. Spread the message of liberty with these little cards that make a BIG impression.

Drop 'em on restaurant/bar tables; tuck 'em into car windows; pass 'em off as you hand someone a tip; leave 'em in taxi cabs for the next rider to discover -- the possibilities are endless.

I can't distribute them from here in California, but I can have them printed and shipped to YOU to pass out in MN!!

Did I mention they're FREE? Yes!! I'm footing the bill, minor as it is!

Go here for details.

(Sheesh...I thought for sure these'd been snapped up in minutes!)

I will be attending most of us are broke.

HYDROMAN
Hope my boat is still floating when I return.

No negativity intended.

In fact I'm positive and grateful for 10 or 15,000.

Why?
It will provide good videos that we can use to recruit new members.

Personally, I believe we will have a very tough, even violent fight on our hands for this country. So I'd rather not be ID'd. now.

I'd rather work behind the scenes building infrastructure as a foundation from which to fight the long hard battle.

I'd love to be at a rally. Hang out with the patriots. It's always electrifying.

But that's the job of those who are going.
There are numerous jobs to this revolution.

The rally is another good piece of evidence to share with those who are still hypnotized or indifferent.

We need to concentrate on building up an overwhelming force.

Alex Jones said it perfectly. Trust me there are very few of us. Retrds still have somewhere to live and something to eat, everything is just fine!

I have family in Germany and was told that the people were attending a concert when Obomba took the stage. Many in the crowd were left wondering, who was that guy and why is he speaking english to us??
More smoke and mirrors.

who can't afford to take the time off or pay for transit & lodging.

We may not be there in body but in spirit - ohhh yeaahhh!

ten thousand for a first time - non official event is huge!

of walk ups from Minneapolis locals and surrounding areas ....
HOPEFULLY THE RETURNING STUDENTS TOO
(we need you guys there!!!)

Considering the circumstances, am I the only person that thinks that 10,000 people paying to attend such an event is pretty darn remarkable? Correct me if I am wrong, but does anyone think a failed presidential nominee from either major party could come anywhere close to attracting similar numbers and enthusiasm? I think its inspiring.

I wish I could be there.

"The nine most terrifying words in the English language are, 'I'm from the government and I'm here to help'." -- Ronald Reagan

Apparently it was some big event that they were showing up for and Obomba managed to speak there. So, no way did 250K Germans go out to see him.

actually, they only are planning for 10,000... they can expand it to 15,000 if they need the room, but that's not what they were originally planning for.

Well when Dr. Paul explains how his campaign literally blew millions of dollars,( and by the way I didn't see a single ad) lots of donors might start to consider trusting him again with our money. Until then, we will support our next logical choice, which is one of the many third party candidates. For me it is once again a Libertarian.

200,000 people turned out for a free concert featuring popular German acts, reggae artist Patrice and rock band Reamonn, and free beer. Obomba was there, too, but you can bet without the free concerts and beer, there would not have been 200,000 people.
