Philly Rally - VALLEY FORGE

[LibertyEagle]

THE HQ IS CLUELESS LIBERTY EAGLE - DON'T YOU GET IT YET?

This is step one, missing ballots in states is the next mess up on the horizion.

Go away troll-bait.

Mind your own shit, or maybe I'll just remember this comment and return the favor the day of the rally when a shitload of supporters show up at independance mall. I donated for advertising, which now was probably wasted, and worse, misleading to those who received the ads!

How can we update the kids at the colleges? A big ad in the school newspapers perhaps?

 

[KewlRonduderules]

I think this is all being handled, Spirit. I wish they would have spoken to this in the announcement.

Yeah, it would make sense if they had some sort of shuttle service

Yeah, it would make sense if they had some sort of shuttle service

It's my understanding that this is the plan.

Bob, my understanding is that you didn't have all the information on the costs. They didn't have them either, until recently. They took forever to come in. Do you know that we were going to be massively charged if the grass was damaged?

That's what the insurance is for so no, we wouldn't have been "massively charged".
And yes, I am fully aware of the costs and the guy who was setting it up said 50k, not 80-140k
There was a requirement for a one million dollar insurance policy for the event which would have covered damages.
I can guarantee you, I knew virtually everything that was going on. The only people who were more intimate were Tom and possibly some Philly people and we all stayed in touch.

I think no matter what's there's going to have to be someone at Independance Mall on that day, directing people to go to valley forge... to which their response will likely be laughter or anger.

I think I have been pretty polite with you but now, you are really starting to get bothersome.

You are sounding like a troll.

We don't need that here.

Where are you getting this understanding?

140 THOUSAND DOLLARS?????????

For what? A rally for people who already support Ron Paul?

That makes little sense. We need new supporters,and the rally doesnt seem like the best way to go about doing that. I mean, what makes anyone think that the media will pay attention anyway? Where was the media at the Chicago rally of 2500 people?

I think the money would be better spent contributing to the cost of ads, not some party for us supporters who are already voting for him. Oh sure, there would be some people there that arent supporters now that would be after the rally, but $140,000.00 worth of new support?

I dont think so.

BIG waste of money.

The campaign needs to issue a statement - through it's email as well, so that people know in advance. Has this happened? I haven't checked my email.

Awww, some one need hug?

That does suck if you put out money on this, I guess i'm getting tired of 100 friggin threads about the same thing. no worries, I'm sure it will all work out.

I think the shuttle idea is a great idea, someone needs to contact the campaign.

 

[TruckinMike]

I've got an idea... I'll load my flatbed with hay bails and I'll have a liberty hay ride from the mall to the convention center.

Yahoo... I knew we'd think of something!

20-25 miles isnt a different state. Ron Paul is a ROCKSTAR you know bamd well they would travle that far to see a ROCKSTAR!

We need to haul ALOT of students to this event.
Is there public transport that is affordable to Valley Forge?

It will be difficult for the students who live in the city and don't own vehicles - possibly thousands of them.

Good point.

What about the fact that the venue will only hold about ~2000 people?

LOL. I like it. But I guess that would defeat the purpose of having the indoors venue.

 

[Green Mountain Boy]

So does this mean there will never be any huge rallies for Ron Paul in the future in a major city where lots of people can come? Will we always have to be hidden away indoors?

F%$k the unions, F%*k the city and its stupid grass that might get trampled.

Good point.

Actually, a bad point.
First - not 140k - more like 50
Second, there is a veterans group which is doing something the same day and has never heard the message
Third - there were TENS OF THOUSANDS of college students invited to this thing who also would be learning about Ron Paul.
Fourth - this was a BAD idea.
