Rand Paul filibusters Patriot Act renewal and yields floor after 10.5 hours - Official thread

[Barrex]

Ok people. There is huge opportunity here.
Those with Twitter please tweet every hour (or so) at #StandWithRand and promote this project:

http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showth...gital-Apps-MicroSites-for-Next-Gen-Grassroots

Please do it also on Facebook(Rand Paul, groups), Reddit, in comments sections under articles etc.

It is a numbers game. How many tweets will we send? How many people will we reach? Conversion rate is 0,5-1%. If we get organized tonight we could completely fund ONLY ACTIVIST PROJECT ON THIS FORUM AT THE MOMENT (and in a long time).

Thanks in advance.

Mike needs to ask to ask a question so Rand does not lose the floor

Shooting Rand $20.16 for this. #StandWithRand is also number one trending on Facebook.

I humbly submit that the front of this thread should look something like this--at the very least it should have a link to the live stream.

Let's get #StandWithRand trending across social media again!

*Sorry I missed the change to front page - and thank you!

What's the biggest bang we can get for our buck in activism on this? Is it this idea:

Call Congress now to ask them to #StandWithRand and sunset the badly named 'Patriot Act' Capitol Switchboard: (202) 224-3121

 

[Brian4Liberty]

Mike Lee always gives a good historical lesson. Now he is asking Rand for any changes that would make the USA Freedom Act better. It's a good chance for him to publicly talk about what he would change.

 

[thoughtomator]

OK who the hell is Senator Martin Heinreich D-NM? Never heard of him but he's up now!

 

[Created4]

Martin Heinrich from New Mexico? This appears to have been well-planned and coordinated...

around 1:22 pm ET

Edit: he started at 1:18 pm ET

nearing the 4 hour mark.
