A specific location at ISU has yet to be announced, but details are below:


WHO: U.S. Sen. Rand Paul, 2016 Republican presidential candidate

WHAT: Iowa 10,000 Rally

WHEN: Monday, Feb. 1 at 5 p.m.


WHERE: Iowa State University campus. Specific location on campus has yet to be announced.

This is a great idea to reach back out to people that may have pledged months ago and make sure they're active the following day!

Right after that, they will be caucusing basically. Love that Rand is going to be on a campus that night. This campus has 2,000 pledged for Rand... That would be huge if we can get close to that.

They might need a bigger hall!

Well not sure if the "capacity" is because that's the amount of seating. Rand has been doing standing only events for awhile now. Regardless, this event is great! This should help get out higher vote counts at this college.

Wasn't Ron's 2012 rally bigger?

 

[kbs021]

The last time Rand had a rally on campus they had 600 people there. Rand Paul being on campus caucus night is huge!

if you look at 127 it is a big hall and has probably a ton of extra standing room

This is great news. I found with Ron it was fairly easy to do the sell. I, unfortunately, didn't do a follow up on primary day. It will be a great reminder that they are needed and appreciated.

WHOA!! I see what you did there! Memories of that massive Ron Paul rally in Iowa are coming back to me! Gotta find that footage, it was AWESOME and got me pumped up for Ron in 07!!!

Will he finally unleash the Kraken? (Ron)

Would be great to get all the students to each grab 2 or 3 friends right there on campus to participate too. I'm sure the campaign and their volunteers are planning something similar across the state.

 

[LatinsforPaul]

He will be at the University of Iowa the night before the caucus and at Drake University the Thursday before the caucus...

Ideally, Ron would hold a get-out-the-vote-rally at another college. Preferably far enough away from the one Rand is at so that they can draw out even more people.

He should be visiting Iowa colleges and not leave the state until after the caucus.

Got my ticket... (well, I registered for it but I can't find how to print it out yet...)

I don't think it would scare anyone away but could guilt-trip former supporters who moved to other candidates back to Rand.
