KC Caucus SATURDAY 3/24 - Standing room only for Ron Paul in Kansas City Union Station

[specsaregood]

I predict the same or better when he visits Springfield MO which I will attend since it's only a little over an hour from me (KC is more like 5 hours each way). SW MO is a stronghold for us.

when is he going to springfield?!

Okay, great rally, but didn't Missouri already vote? Arizona, Michigan, and Wyoming are next. He's been to Washington and Idaho recently, which vote in early March, but how about Virginia (no Newt or Santorum on the ballot)? Tennessee? Alaska?

- still waiting for a full length video. I heard on facebook that someone was uploading it from his camera phone. Hopefully one of the professional cameras there has the full vid.

Missouri had a primary that really did mean Nothing.

They have a Caucus March 17th that is the real deal.

Half the room was also from Kansas, who has a March 10th Caucus.

This fired up 2-3 thousand people in the area.

no, the reason Santorum was the ONLY one to go to Missouri before the straw poll was that it didn't even kick off the caucuses. You need an entirely different 'GOTV' for the caucuses in March.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to millercards again.

Santorum had auto dialers for weeks leading up to the primary also

I'm standing RIGHT behind that A-hole standing with the camera guys on the far left. About 5 mins into RP's speech we started a mutiny those which were stuck behind the "film" crew

I forgot my SD card, but my friend Bri got tons of pics and videos, she'll be here in a bit and I'll upload some. The energy was amazing, as usual. Some local liberty candidates were there which was great. His speech was different (and better) than many I saw in 08. The crowd was fired up, and very diverse. Quite a few occupy people there too from what I could see. I saw several people I thought I recognized but was didn't have the balls to ask who they were. After he left stage a large crowd formed near the stage hoping he would come out and sign autographs but the man had an insanely busy day and had just stepped off the plane soon before he took stage. So he didn't come out but most everyone understood and seemed okay with it.

I was there, I'd guess 1500 at least, that's a wild guess. Ron's speech was good, different and better than those I saw in 08. He was talking about government wanting control over our bodies and NDAA and someone yelled HELL NO!

I was in a completely unused sideroom afterwards watching my 2 year old and minding my business, found a mop and cleaned up a little spill to help out, when up came a security guard 'Can I help you?'.... I didn't say anything, dumbfounded at the cartoonish example .... he went on: 'I need this area... I have some stuff to do' LOL typical inserting himself into a peaceful situation to exert arbitrary authority over a non-security relevant scenario. 3 minutes later he's on the other side of the hall looking suspiciously at some other people...

The crowd was very diverse, I was reminded again that I am STILL learning what a Ron Paul supporter is. So if I'm saying that, imagine how reporters feel.

Great crowd, great speech, great night, Ron Paul is WINNING

even media is crediting him with 2000 people -- apparently it is known what that space can accommodate.

OMG when we first walked into Union station (which is huge) we could hear this humming sound that almost sounded like a train. I turned to my friend and said, "Hear that? I think its the crowd" he said "no way" but as we got closer you could hear that it was indeed the hum of a couple thousand people talking and chatting. It was very very loud, but a good loud.

Oh and there were sign in sheets, lots of our KC4RP group were asking people to sign in to get a head count. As far as I could tell most everyone was willing to sign in, some using fake names, so we might have a decent count from that.

+ rep!!!

remember when we thought it was cool when 300-500 people showed up to a tRon Paul event? We were going ape, new threads and the like. Now I'm disappointed when there's less than 1,000 people at campaign stops! Lol.

for all the doubters out there, this is proof. they can manipulate the votes all they want, but there is an incredibly strong Ron Paul following in America that is growing by leaps and bounds. We are winning the hearts and minds of the people. We are waking them up to the freedoms and liberties they've lost in their slumber. They're waking up, finding out they've been lied to and are seeking the truth. Ron Paul and this movement are the truth. We cannot be stopped. We are liberty. We are legion. We are the future.
