This meetup group: "Des Moines Area & Central Iowa Ron Paul 2008 Support Group" has 70 members. We need as many of them as we can to register at the eventful site as well that can show up!
Some people may be too timid to go if the numbers are too few, but the more of a presence gives people a backbone to stand up united... Josh, I believe you are a part of that group, even though you are in TX, you should contact those members and getting to make that eventful presence as well. But, lets not leave all up to Josh, anyone apart of that group should encourage the other members.
