Planning Your Route, Carpools, & Hitchhikers for Sat June 30th Des Moines Rally

[nayjevin]

This thread for who's going, what route are you taking, and how many open seats do you have. How do people contact you to catch a ride? What's your gas money rule?

Let's get there people, as a group, respectable and clean, for one cause, and one cause only.

i'm in maine - anyone from new england going to iowa! lol i know it's a long way from here but i think i'd go if there were other people
to go with...


i don't have cable and never seen colbert except the bush fiasco (that i only saw the clip of) and dr. paul being on his show - so my question is:
what is the "bump"?

A bump when you are on the forums is posting to put a thread at the top of the list.

The colbert bump is the boost in the polls you supposedly get by going on his show.

I'm flying in through Dallas from Charlotte, NC. I'm bringing 3 people with me, so that's 4 more supporters.

Can anyone in Iowa post info regarding signs for the rally?

The guys from Phoenix who started the Ron Paul R[evol]ution logos are bringing lots of supplies: http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showpost.php?p=33690&postcount=58

I wouldn't rely on them though, try and bring what you can. I am driving through Dallas in a Yukon XL on the 26th, do you guys have a ride?

tulsa

there's about a 25% chance i can go -- driving from Tulsa, so

Joplin
Kansas City
OKC
Miami, OK

I would have 2 seats. I'll know for sure in a day or two.

Could maybe work out a Springfield or Columbia situation.

We live about halfway between Sioux Falls and Mitchell, just south of I-90.

I have a sunday morning paper route at about 4:00 am, but I won't be loud.

Looks like the package will be delivered.

Cujo, are you on the MeetUp group? Scott Bludorn just sent us an email about coordinating the Chicago area.

Yeah, we're covered, thanks a million for the offer.

From being at the debates, I've become sold on the impact of the tiered signs, which is just a few signs stapled to a 1"X 2"X 6-8'. Impossible to fly with that sort of gear, so I was wondering if anyone in Iowa could handle that sort of materials list.

Hope to meet you there, Josh Later in the week when my flight times are secured, I hope to exchange cell phone #s with ya, etc.

You should try and board with one, just for kicks.

I will pick up 5 or 6 of those stakes from Home Depot before I leave town.

 

[BravoSix]

I'm flying in from out of state. My flight lands in Kansas City, Missouri at 1:14 PM on Friday, June 29th. I've rented a car already, and will be driving to Des Moines.

I plan on staying until Sunday morning, July 1st.

I'd be more than happy to pick up a few hitchhikers in the KC Metro area. I could fit 3, maybe 4 more people.

All I ask is that ya chip in for gas, and maybe split the cost of the rental with me ($72). If you're strapped for cash, and that's too much to ask, then so be it.....I'm going that way anyway.

PM me or email (Brian AT bravosix.net)


Also, I haven't booked a hotel as of yet, so if anyone has reccomendations, send 'em my way.
