Rallies in Washington

[Charlie Harris]

I see that Ron has scheduled multiple rallies in Washington this week which is great but... shouldn't he be doing more townhalls or just making appearances? He has one townhall scheduled I see, however a rally seems to be more preaching to the choir. Plus even when we do townhalls and things, all of our supporters show. We shouldn't be talking to the people who already support Paul, we need to reach the undecideds. Now some undecideds might be coming to our events, but isn't there a better way to reach people who aren't already supporters?

Paul has two town halls. One is a town hall/rally in Twin Fall, Idaho, the other is in Richland, Washington.

Rallies are useful for finding dedicated supporters who will sign up as delegates.

Does anybody know if Ron's appearance tomorrow at in Seattle is open to the public? (Double Tree by Seatac Airport).

Rallies = lazy

Town Halls require Ron to actually answer/address real questions/problems that voters have. The other plus - and in my opinion GREATEST advantage - of town halls is that Ron might actually say something new or non-educational for reporters to write about.

Often times, when Ron Paul has rallies or two halls, it is announced in the local media ahead of time. That way people that are on the fence hear about it and may go. Also, sometimes Ron Paul sends mail to registered Republicans in the area about the rally or town hall. Also, sometimes Ron Paul has volunteers call area Republicans and tell them about the event.

yes it is. there is a thread with an article on it here, but you can go onto his web page. They weren't all up there yesterday, but hopefully they are today. He is also going to be in Idaho and Michigan soon. I sure hope he goes to ND and VERMONT. I think the New England states may be good to Ron, generally. They seem to care more tangibly about the Constitutional rights such as against NDAA, FISA, Patriot Act etc.
