The Des Moines Challenge - Saturday June 30th! Rally outside Iowa Forum!

I'm just sitting here, wishing Connecticut was right next to Iowa so I could go.
 
I just recieved an email stating that even if only 25% of those that sent an email to the Des Moine event sponsor shows - that puts us at 2,000 protesters.

100% showing would be 8,000.

I hope 8,000 of us don't show up. I couldn't stand to see so many witness my tears of joy.

I will be in this Houston Sat. but am leaving Sun......

I am going to Houston to make some $$$$. [admin edit: Whatever you do to make money is fine. Just please do not discuss those activities on the forums. Thanks.]


Should I not be doing such?

Everyone that can go should register at the eventful site as well, it is being advertised pretty well right now on blogs and forums. This might help give the people that are a little timid to show up a push to go! Also, the meetup.com group: "Des Moines Area & Central Iowa Ron Paul 2008 Support Group" has 70 members, if you are a part of this group you should contact all of them and the ones that are going to register with eventful! Josh, I believe, even though you are in TX you are a member of that group.
 
MAN!!
I'm in South Florida. I can't make that 20+ hour drive....

Just remember: Based on the WHO interview, Failure has painted us out to be a bunch of fringe kooks who threaten women and children.

Show up proud, show up clean, and show up positive for Ron Paul!!

Come up with some positive chants, nothing negative.

And most of all, someone bring DVR it and have it on YouTube for all to see (naturally)!!

Or they might just think 1000 Iowan RP supporters were mad enough to come out, and they'll wonder why they haven't shown up in the polls.

We should decide where to meet and when on Sat. A block or two away where there is decent parking would be good. Someone who knows the area, let us know where would work. What time, noon? Forum starts at one. Earlier?

Bwah! I like your thinking Scribbler. Question? Have you been or know of other people checking other forums and Ron Paul sites for others planning the same thing? Is there any kind of coordination effort througout the communities? Just asking because of the discussion on if there needs to be a centralized place for all the communities to check in for things like the Iowa rally. I'm not sold it is even necessary yet but just curious if coordination is going on anyways, organically.

There are enough people that cross back and forth between the many online forums that the information gets passed and organically organized using online tools like meetup and eventful.
Good sociological study too.

That's been my experience also when I have been a member of forums/groups that have many different sites dedicated to a person or cause. I just wanted to double check to see if that has started to occur also for Ron Paul activites. Glad to hear it is :D

Still might be a good idea for a single place (common to all sites) for people to check for this sort of stuff. Still under consideration if this would be helpful or just another level of control/Goverment not needed :D

Here's the Eventful link: http://eventful.com/events/E0-001-004986982-7

In addition each meetup group should be organizing its constituency. We are in MN, and we have a couple representatives to an IA Border States Meetup which includes representatives from our Target, Iowa. We're becoming very bureacratic. :D

(Let's start using code words. This assignment can be Operation Failure or some such, Ground Zero would be Hy-Vee Center. If "the package gets delivered" it means Ron Paul is going to attend.)

Getting all James Bond on us. ;)
 
Digg, MySpace, YouTube, Eventful, etc.

Re torchbearer's comment, one thing that's amusing about the imminent demise of the corrupt D.C. establishment (I live here, btw) is that the people in charge of the corrupt structures that are about to fall have almost no familiarity with the words that are about to destroy them (Digg, YouTube, Meetup, Eventful, etc.).

Reading older members of the MSM is almost pitiful, the way they think they still control things. Like William Safire the other day writing that Ron Paul was "running, but not in the running."

The "let them eat cake" of 2007 America!

Let the unstoppable revolution roll on. I'm enjoying it. :p :cool: :)

It feels soooooooooo good to be part of this revolution! Somedays, I feel we are saving the world whether those unenlightened realize it or not :D .
 
Are there other facilities, perhaps adjacent to the one where the forum will be held at Ground Zero which might be available for RP use?

Just curious...

Someone in IA is trying to get a permit to shut down Park Avenue next to Ground Zero for our use, but I don't know his RPforums Code Name. If we're out of state, we should park a little bit away so we don't look like, well, outa-staters. Facilities . . . I think that's code for, is someone going to bring a Porta-Potty?
