And so it begins...More insight into the ground game.. Now the eminent domain signs make sense

This news along with the 1,007 PRECINCT CAPTAINS announcement are freaking huge... We probably made over 50k phone calls to Iowa, NH, and NV today as well! Rand is going to be making some noise on Feb. 1st!
 
It's nice to brag about but what is the minimum you would need to do to be included in that number?
 
excerpts:
To win over farmers, Paul is emphasizing Energy Transfer Crude Oil Co.'s controversial plans to buy easements using eminent domain.

A company spokeswoman said about a quarter of 1,274 affected property owners in Iowa have not yet sold rights to build the pipeline on their land.

Paul is holding two town-hall meetings on the issue in three days — on Thursday night in Boone and Friday morning in Oskaloosa.

Paul's campaign has put up 200 billboards in 17 counties through which the pipeline is supposed to pass, said Paul’s chief Iowa strategist Steve Grubbs. The signs say: “Stop Eminent Domain Abuse.”

Though the issue is up to the state utilities board, Paul said it reflects concerns over the U.S. Environment Protection Agency’s "out-of-control" implementation of clean-water laws that treats nearly all farmland as wetlands subject to regulation.

Paul said he supported construction of the Keystone pipeline extension. But he, like Alexander, says eminent domain is supposed to be used for a public benefit, and the Energy Transfer project only serves the company.

It can find a way to avoid the property that belongs to Alexander and other opponents, he said.

Most voters' minds are not on the pipeline, said David Yepsen, director of Southern Illinois University’s Paul Simon Public Policy Institute and an expert in Iowa politics.

I like that he has picked up on an issue that goes straight to the heart of Americana and one that no other candidate has mentioned. And it helps that he recently has called out Cruz for being a copycat in case Rafael decides to do that again.
 
Rand is live on Facebook right now with the Eminent domain signs in the background... Just knocked Trump and Cruz for being for it in regards to the pipeline in Iowa. Very good issue here. Getting pumped!
