This just released by the AP..... (Which means it's probably going to be picked up by enough "outlets" to affect the Google News index.)

Look forward to your presence oh mighty wizard....but you'll be all alone at the red X. We are meeting on the south side of the Capitol, your X marks the spot of a new walkway and is on the west side of the building. I posted last week I thought the west side would be better...but have since revised my remarks.

 

[wizardwatson]

Bryan I changed the photo to the East side of the building (may need to refresh browser). I get that you all are meeting by the monument, but do you think I'll be able to get a car near there, as I will have far too much paper in it to carry the signs somewhere else.

You can comment on the thread I linked to from the above post and I'll edit the posts where necessary. Also, how many people will be around that area. Anyway, maybe you should just PM me and I can call you on the phone, I'm all burnt out on forum post tag.

On Saturday morning (8:00 AM - Noon) the Des Moines Farmer's Market is held on Court Ave. between 5th and 2nd Aves. This event is also attended by large crowds, especially in good weather.

Since you mention this I will quote Dean from Jacksonville, Florida who posted on the meetup board about his work at a local farmer's market. I hope someone will do a similar thing in DesMoines this Saturday morning.

Hi Ron Paul supporters,

Yesterday I went to the local office of the Supervisor of Elections and picked up 100 voter registration forms. I rented a table at the local flea market. Last night I went to Kinkos and printed a Ron Paul Revolution Banner from the files section of the meetup group. (While I was there I talked to a Catholic Priest about Ron's Right to Life record). I also printed 150 flyers from the files section too. I arrived at the flea market at 8:30, and things were slow up until 10:00. Then the people started coming in. I spoke with all sorts of people.

I had 75 people come to my table and pick up Ron Paul literature. I was able to speak with them personally. The typical response of 60% of the people was similar to this statement..... What is happening to America......I am deeply concerned about losing my individual rights.
The easy response to this objection was... That is why you should vote for Ron Paul.... This was a great time to tell them the following answers to this objection... Ron Paul is the biggest defender of the constitution, and he doesnt vote for legislation unless it matches up with the constitution. Ron Paul wants to simplify our government and make sure we are protected by the Bill of Rights. This is when people's eyes got big.... "How do you know that he isn't greedy like the rest of those crooks." Because Ron Paul is the only congressman who doesnt accept corporate lobbyist payoffs."

By this time, the future Ron Paul voter is salivating.... The thought of electing a politician who wants to support the constitution is an ideal to so many people, this is really what they want.

There was a Navy officer in full uniform who came to the table. I explained to him that Ron Paul does not support going to war based on UN resolutions, but he supports America fighting battles based on the constitution. The navy officer immediately grabbed the literature, and I thanked him for his service to his country. There was a sweet old lady who came up to me, and said.... "I subscribe to the magazine American Conservative, and they just had a wonderful article about Ron Paul. She took a voter application, and is changing her party affiliation to Republican.

There were many opportunities. One fellow gave me support money for Ron's Campaign, and I am forwarding that... plus my own... to the Ron Paul campaign. I made some big progress outside of the Internet, by selling Ron Paul to people, shaking hands, and pressing the flesh.

I saw a friend I know who is a musician from a church. He asked me what I was doing there. I told him I was campaigning for the biggest right to lifer I could find. He took the literature and said.... I will vote for him too, I trust you. Oh, I will be out there during following weekends.

For some people, I just gave them the literature with the website information and recommended they research it on their own, to make thier own decisions. We can win people. we can't rely on any media.... We have got to meet people face to face and discuss the issues. We are Winning. Ron Paul is winning big time. I recommend you go to your local community and try the same thing.

Excellent

What an outstanding way to not get in peoples face yet spread the word!!! I will defiantly bump this.

 

[wizardwatson]

I was going to try to make it for the 9:00 organizers meeting but it looks like I won't get there till twelve. I had to count out 40,000 bumper stickers today and even with 3 people helping I grossly underestimated the time it would take to get everything ready for Saturday.

Anyway, I'll be there at hopefully 12:00 noon.

For anyone who might be reading this eleventh hour post I've counted out all the stickers in packs of 50, so it's fifty for five dollars. AKA 10 cents a piece. Also, I will not be bringing any yard signs as I've pretty much sold out of what I had and what I have left I will keep for the local Topeka/KC groups.

I WILL have the 1200 rally signs though.

see ya tomorrow!
