About the networking; I think we better have a concrete event first (Strasbourg for example) and then invite other people instead of just saying "hi, are you interested in Ron Paul?"

Anyway we can still start making up a list. A good place to start would be the Stockholm Network I think, though I don't know if they want to associate themselves with a political candidate, but it's an umbrella network for free-market oriented think-thanks all over Europe;
http://www.stockholm-network.org/network/details.php

Also, I'd like to have a discussion on the location of the Tea Party; I think Brussels is better since our message is "Europe for Ron Paul" so an event in the capital of Europe would be better i think; the EU Commission, the EU parliament, Nato, etc are all there, so I think it's far more likely to get noticed in the press if we do it in Brussels. What do you think?

I think Strasbourg is fine for the first meeting. Switzerland is close, where many Paulites live and Kaiserslautern as well. There are 40.000 Americans (Army) living there.
And there is also the European Parliament. By the way: Brussels is the capital of the political body "EU", not of Europe.
Anyway, we (the original european mailing list participants) have already agreed to make a second meeting in Brussels if the first is a success, I think (Allan, correct me, if I`m wrong...).

We need commitments: who is going to come? So far we are talking about 20 people, more or less?
 
I can't get to Stockholm sorry. I have to be in Brussels on Monday morning. If I take the very first train from Strasbourg I can make it.

We have to choose a place which would be the center of all meet up groups. And easy to access. Therefore Strasbourg isn't a bad idea. Of course, if you do it in Brussels I'll be more likely to help.

I think we should be at least 15.

I got another idea. If someone could buy some woodbox with tea in it. Maybe if we ship it from China, it wouldn't be too expensive. Then we throw them into l'ile (Strasbourg's river)
 
Hi Phil, you are the guy with the Chip-In, aren`t you? Could you do one for our european activism?
 
Ok, we'll start with Strasbourg, there will indeed be other options in the future. I'll be there!
 
Brussels sounds good, may we push forward with Strasbourg?

Fabio,
I agree. Strasbourg is not ideal for me, but I think a central location would be good and I think Strasbourg meets that criteria (as do a number of other cities) It will probably be best to quickly agree on a place to meet and then move on to some of the other issues involved in planning this. Since Strasbourg was suggested and agreed to by a number of people, I decided that I would support that idea as well.

Generally, the discussions I've had by email have talked about the Strasbourg Tea Party as a first meeting, with many more to follow over the course of this movement. Surely Brussels would be a good place to meet in the future (as well as now). I'm open for anything, but lean toward Strasbourg since the ball is already rolling on it. Location does not seem as important as just deciding and getting the word out about the great event that this has the potential to be.

This weekend, Saturday, some members of Americans In Europe for Ron Paul will get together at a hotspot and look for interested people on the internet to pass the information of the event to. I suspect that it will be perfect for attracting people to the event.

If anyone wants me to agree to a weekend in Brussels before they agree to a weekend in Strasbourg, please suggest the date and I will see if it will be doable. For now, how about if we keep moving towards Strasbourg?

With this I mean - spread the word, suggest what would make the event worthwhile for you, and help suggest/research the specifics of where we can meet.

I'm looking forward to seeing you guys at this first gathering. I think that this event will be a tremendous push of energy for the movement that is springing up around us.

Fabio,

Nice to see you on this forum, I clicked the link you gave on the http://europe4ronpaul.blogspot.com/ and of course, it led me here.

I have started a thread on Liberty Forum, promoting The Strasbourg Tea Party and used the picture for that purpose. I could not get it to work either so I downloaded it to my server. To use it just click on it - select properties and copy - then place it here on this forum.

The link to my thread on Liberty Forum is http://www.libertyforum.org/showfla...ew=collapsed&sb=5&o=21&vc=1&t=0#Post295868363

Good luck.

Kind regards,
Aletsch
 
Spreading the Word

A few of us here in Bratislava today got together and went out there on the internet looking for Ron Paul supporters out there to tell them about the Strasbourg Tea Party.

It was a productive session.

We've also looked around the internet for a meeting space at NGOs and conference centers. Ideally, we would find someone to let us use a meeting room free of charge.

Anyone out there who can't come, but would still like to support the event is welcome to join us in spreading the word to those in Europe that you know who may take interest in the event. Also, the issue of a specific venue for our Saturday activities at the event, while I am not worried about it, is still up in the air. I would like to welcome anyone out there with a few spare hours to lend a hand in this one. Your current location would be unimportant, since you would be on the internet, and your help would be much appreciated.

Thank you.

Allan

I just saw one of my friends on myspace post a bulletin that had a video about the Strausburg Tea Party and I am floored by the support Paul has in Europe. Its amazing!

I hope and pray you guys can get a good protest going for the 16th. I wish there was more I could do to help but I have to do my part here too!

It would just be unbelievably astounding if we have rallies and a massive donation here AND a protest in Europe!
 
Traveling is ATM not really an option for me so I cant make it alas. But maybe there's some other way I can help? Besides spreading the word, which I'll be doing where I can.

BTW, do you have any sort of program in mind? Will there be a speaker? Maybe music?

It would be great if someone would do a speech or something. Perhaps a politician with similar views?

Tell me if you find one :-)

Not in the EU, but in Europe nonetheless.
The SVP (Swiss Peoples' Party), is currently the strongest party in the Swiss government - and giving the EUschewicks a permanent fit). Either the party head Uli Maurer, and/or the black sheep himself Christoph Blocher. Those two, and the party platform, do hold very similar views: Individual before states' rights, non-intervention, armed neutrality, free markets, adherence to constitution (theirs) etc. While Christoph Blocher - as member of the ruling council, or whatever it is called, may not be able to engage - their supporters could or should be fertile grounds to promote your event to.

They just prevailed in elections against a concerted EU-SwissElite-TIC (The International Community) smear campaign - or maybe because of it ;-)

Blocher is similar to Ron Paul in another way (different personality, though).
In the 80s, there was a referendum to join the EU. The 'elites' in the EU, Switzerland, London and NewYork thought it was in the bag. That's when Blocher came out of nowhere, talking about freedom, the individual, independence, heritage (stuff like William Tell), and promptly generated enough energy to soundly defeat the carefully, but arrogantly laid trap.

More similarities than differences - the Swiss Meet-up should know more, and get going...
