The Electrifying Ron Paul

Posted by Lew Rockwell at May 19, 2008 04:30 PM

Writes Rand Paul: "Ron visited Kentucky this weekend. More than 700 students and supporters crowded into the Bowling Green High School Basketball Arena. Nashville and Bowling Green television and print media covered the event. Ron's grandson, Will Paul, introduced him.

"Afterwards, Barnes & Noble hosted a booksigning and more than 200 copies were signed.

"On May 17th, Ron travelled to Louisville. The booksigning at Borders Books was one of their largest ever. The manager said only Jimmy Carter's booksigning was larger. More than 700 books were sold to about 550 people. The line wound and wandered throughout the store and outside. See the video (http://www.lewrockwell.com/blog/lewrw/archives/021061.html).

"The speech at the Louisville Palace theater was electrifying. About 1,400 people filled the auditorium. The NY Times and Louisville television and print media covered the event."

Awesome!

I was at the Louisville Rally. It was the first political rally I ever attended. The crowd: diverse. The atmosphere: electric.

In attendance were families with small children, the 'young people' that Dr. Paul points to, the 'truthers', and as well as some intellectual types from all spectrums... and those were just the patriots that I spoke with.

I was delighted to finally see Ron Paul speak in person. It was nice to be able to cheer loudly and have him hear me! I am used to screaming with friends at a computer monitor.

The highlight for me was two-fold:

1. Ron Paul being given the "champion of the constitution" Louisville Slugger.
2. Shaking Dr. Paul's hand.

I didn't get my book signed. I was in line to do so after the speech, but he ran out of time. There were so many people who wanted to shake his hand or get something signed... he is a rock star!

I still have my autographed program from the Value Voter's debate - I am soooooooo glad that no one took me up on my offer when I wanted to sell it to give to the campaign!

I was at the Louisville rally, it was absolutely awesome. Got my book signed, I was 499 in line, and I was 45 minutes early. Never have I seen such a diverse crowd, it was AWESOME.

and today at Book People in Austin, Texas it was a frenzy.

Dr.Paul was looking very good, and the Revolution was alive and well.

I was at Book People yesterday; he signed my copy of The Revolution: A Manifesto. He looks much younger and stronger in person than he is portrayed in many photos.

The place was crazy go nuts crowded!

Seeing as he is a baseball guy, I hope Dr. Paul puts that bat up in his congressional office.
