I am in Des Moines and have been talking with Bryan, John, and Roger.

At 12:00 on Saturday we are meeting here:




Here is a google map to the address of that location. You can get directions if you click the balloon: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=...37&spn=0.007558,0.020084&z=16&iwloc=addr&om=1

We are not meeting at the Capitol at any time period on Saturday. The North parking lot of the Iowa Events center was decided upon by the group. If the location changes again then we will keep this updated.

WizardWatson who will be selling Ron Paul material has not been informed of this yet but we are working on contacting him

I will continue to update this post as we get new information.

Please send this location to those who you know will be attending. Link to this thread: http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?t=4790

Thanks.
 
I will be away from the computer for the next few hours.

If you have any questions feel free to call: 281-745-1709

Keep this bumped, stickies tend to not get as many thread views.

Thanks!

Yes, I got the info and have updated all my pics with the correct location. But your pic is much spiffier. This is better I think anyway, as we don't have two staging areas. I've updated my graphic.

I've also posted this thread over on meetup.com main board.

Yea, so I was passing out literature at the Iowa Cubs ballpark today and they asked me to leave when I was on a public sidewalk...

I walked a little further down to the bus stop which I know is public property and they sent a cop.

The cop said I was right about it being public property but 'they' would still like me to go across the street.

I just stayed at the bus stop til the sidewalk traffic died down. :D

and bump!

I would've told the cop to hassle 'them' instead, cause 'they' have no AUTHORITAH! See ya Saturday!

good reactions?
 
Sent the cops??
What were you doing, yelling "Ron Paul for President!"??
Simply passing out literature in public places is against the law??

What is this world coming to???

Wow, they sent a cop after you? man, I hope this isn't a sign of things to come on saturday.
 
I know Ron mentioned Civil Disobedience to Cavuto the other night, but I didn't think we'd need to start doing this for simply supporting a Presidential candidate!!!
 
good reactions?

Yes, lots of "Who is Ron Paul?", a few thumbs ups and one semi negative responses. The guy said he was "for the war" when I told him Dr. Paul wants us out of Iraq, but he said it in a light hearted fashion.

Of course not...

I just had a sign that said:
Code:
Dr. Ron Paul Rally
Hy-Vee Hall Room C
Sat. June 30th
4:00 PM
I had flyers in my hand and offered them to those who seemed to read the sign. Definitely nothing pushy. The cop was nice and knew it was public property. It was the management on the radio who didn't want people passing out literature "on their property". They seemed pretty confused that I had a right to be there.
