Nice idea. Are you refering to the presidential candidate forum on June 30th?

I'm coming from Houston for it (15 hours)

Post here if you want to carpool from Houston, Dallas, Oklahoma City, Topeka, or Kansas City: http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?t=3707

2 Down, 98 to go.

I'll be there from the Ames meetup group. http://ronpaul.meetup.com/262/

Wow, Texans even like their Trips "big"...

[JoshLowry]

Sounds like Ron Paul will not be there after listening to Mr. Failor on WHO radio.

Let's do this. Everyone make a road trip this weekend.

Yeah, still important to show up if you can. Try to ask really damaging questions too like "How in God's name do you plan on reducing the tax burden by nuking Iran, Mr. Hunter?"

I'll probably just hold a few Ron Paul signs and chant with the rest of the group.

Everyone needs to make the trip this weekend. Do it for your country. Do it as a patriot.

Mr. Failor is not the only chief running the show. This Christian guy has gone underground, it sounds, but someone said he was a Buchanan supporter. Anyone know how to get to Buchanan (RP supporter) on this?

There will be at least one carload from MN next weekend -- we are talking next weekend, the 30th, not this weekend, right Josh?

[ARealConservative]

I just created a meetup event for the Quad City group.

You got one of us anyway.

Correct, the 30th.

Thanks! Confirmed my attendance.

[Action Patriot]

If anyone's into 80's hair bands, there is a great event going on - Waterstock Rock - that day in Des Moines. I attend every year and it's quite a good time. Ron Paul all day and party all night.

[Action Patriot]

Be sure to reserve your seat to the Presidential Forum if you plan on attending. If Ron Paul is finally invited, you'll get to see and support him. If he doesn't get invited, the building will be half empty.

Planning on making the trip from Cincinnati. Anyone along the way interested in joining me?

Awesome. Looks like Indianapolis is along the way.

Maybe see if any of the 118 members in their meetup would like to go show support.

Might make it not sure yet!

Everyone should try and go!

What could be more powerful than video footage of hundreds of RP supporters at this event who drove for hours to make a statement.

Be sure to call and express your gratitude for their sponsorship. Especially you Iowans. Always be courteous and respectful.

Or they might just think 1000 Iowan RP supporters were mad enough to come out, and they'll wonder why they haven't shown up in the polls.

We should decide where to meet and when on Sat. A block or two away where there is decent parking would be good. Someone who knows the area, let us know where would work. What time, noon? Forum starts at one. Earlier?

[slantedview]

You guys have my best wishes! I'd be there in a heartbeat if it wasn't farther than my car is probably even capable of going

[austin356]

aghhhhh, I wish I did not live in Dixie next week!

[yongrel]

I'm just sitting here, wishing Connecticut was right next to Iowa so I could go.

[ARealConservative]

I just recieved an email stating that even if only 25% of those that sent an email to the Des Moine event sponsor shows - that puts us at 2,000 protesters.

100% showing would be 8,000.

I hope 8,000 of us don't show up. I couldn't stand to see so many witness my tears of joy.

[JoshLowry]

If you make it to Houston, you can hop in my ride for the rest of the way.

I will be in this Houston Sat. but am leaving Sun......

I am going to Houston to make some $$$$. [admin edit: Whatever you do to make money is fine. Just please do not discuss those activities on the forums. Thanks.]


Should I not be doing such?

Everyone that can go should register at the eventful site as well, it is being advertised pretty well right now on blogs and forums. This might help give the people that are a little timid to show up a push to go! Also, the meetup.com group: "Des Moines Area & Central Iowa Ron Paul 2008 Support Group" has 70 members, if you are a part of this group you should contact all of them and the ones that are going to register with eventful! Josh, I believe, even though you are in TX you are a member of that group.

[CJLauderdale4]

MAN!!
I'm in South Florida. I can't make that 20+ hour drive....

Just remember: Based on the WHO interview, Failure has painted us out to be a bunch of fringe kooks who threaten women and children.

Show up proud, show up clean, and show up positive for Ron Paul!!

Come up with some positive chants, nothing negative.

And most of all, someone bring DVR it and have it on YouTube for all to see (naturally)!!

Bwah! I like your thinking Scribbler. Question? Have you been or know of other people checking other forums and Ron Paul sites for others planning the same thing? Is there any kind of coordination effort througout the communities? Just asking because of the discussion on if there needs to be a centralized place for all the communities to check in for things like the Iowa rally. I'm not sold it is even necessary yet but just curious if coordination is going on anyways, organically.

There are enough people that cross back and forth between the many online forums that the information gets passed and organically organized using online tools like meetup and eventful.
Good sociological study too.
