I've been planning to go to Ron Paul's rally since it was announced. I've been hoping for an event like this since August. In my mind all along it would be a grassroots thing, as most everything else for the campaign has been. However, when I heard Ron Paul was working on it, I immediately decided my family would go. Then...... when I heard about the buses being filled to go to the Grannies protest, I decided to see if I could fill one in my area.
It's not complicated. If you want to go, go. If you don't want to go, don't. We do not need Ron Paul's permission to spread the truth in whatever manner we wish. That's what this whole thing is about. FREEDOM!
If people weren't arguing, this wouldn't be a big deal. People would just go...... OR NOT.
Let's remember that we all are labeling various activities in our meetup groups etc., as "Ron Paul" _______ (fill in the blank). That doesn't mean that Ron Paul gave his blessing. It means it's to promote Ron Paul and more importantly his MESSAGE. It's all about the MESSAGE - PLEASE DONT LOSE SIGHT OF THAT!!
One last thing. Unless you've walked a mile in somebody's shoes, don't say anything bad about them please. In my opinion, Granny Linda should have worded her announcement of the Freedom Rally better - nicely. I'm not writing her off for that. Look at all she's done so far. I don't know what exactly led her to 'lash out', and I doubt any of you were there for it.
I guess many of you have nothing better to do since your primaries are over. We've still got our to go here in MS, so we're still chomping at the bit, ready for anything.
Peace to all,
Erin
