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

[JoshLowry]

I'll be there. One of the benifits of working for an airline.

Good stuff Jack! Welcome to the forums and I will see you there.

Ernie you and your group really do rock.


Actually all of you do.

That's 2 here, and it's going to appear on the Portland board shortly. Portland organizer. I'm expecting to have it listed in Hillsboro and Seattle shortly.

Oh, what a bad time to be an intern! With my schedule at the mercy of the Department of Labor and my paychecks smaller than they were in high school, this is not a good time for a revolution to be taking place!

I'd love to tag along with you Portland folks, but it just ain't happening this time. Make a little noise on my behalf, would you?

(Worst part is I just moved here from Minnesota, so I was right in Iowa's back yard!)

Be sure to reserve your seat to the Presidential Forum if you plan on attending. If Ron Paul is finally invited, you'll get to see and support him. If he doesn't get invited, the building will be half empty.

No. Go to it anyway. And Tell all the neighbors sitting next to you in attendence and at the breaks that Ron Paul's stances and records are better then all those other guys.

Unfortunitely I have a wedding to go to that day, so I won't be able to make it. And the meet-up group in Sioux Falls, has some other Ron Paul campagning to do locally that's been planned for awhile.

Great! Welcome to the forums. See if you can get some other Omahans to come with you.

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.

(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.)

operation iowan freedom.

Go for it !

Don't forget: our objective is to promote RON PAUL, not to excoriate the insignificanti.

Utmost decorum is appropriate...: that's Mr Paul's style.

You're right. We have to kill 'em with kindness, while we're spreading Dr. Paul's message.

Anyone from the DC area?

It's a 15 hour drive, so says google maps. If I can get a few people together, I'll drive. Otherwise, it's a $500 flight, RT.

 

[torchbearer]

Man, if i could afford to get on a plane and go.. i'd be there with bells on!

I'll race ya...! Houston to Des Moines is 14 hours 47 mins.

You can even have a 15 minute head start.

Is anybody here a former Howard Dean supporter besides me? This roadtrip to Iowa is so deja vu that it's scary. Dean had very similar mobilization across the country during his "Sleepless Summer Tour" of 2003, and he had similar sized crowds turning up (most of whom were out of staters showing up to make the crowds larger). Dean's grassroots organization in Iowa was mostly out of staters, and they made a few mistakes that hurt Dean's campaign. The biggest was the invasion of out-of-staters knocking on Iowan's doors and shoving Dean down the people's throats with an aggressive enthusiasm that Paul's supporters seem to also possess. There has to be a way to learn from the mistakes Dean's campaign made so that all this mobilization doesn't have a negative effect on Paul. I'm hoping there are other former Dean supporters in this group who might have better insight to share.

Exactly!
