Thoughts on Paul's convention plans.

[brandon]

I'm sure there's another thread for this but I'm tired, a little drunk, and don't feel like looking for it. Merge me in if yall want. I read the email from the campaign today in my car while I was in the middle of a 3 hour drive. Okay that's not relevant at all. Anyway, when I read it and pictured the delegates descending on the convention in the manner the email described, I got pretty damn excited and emotional about it. And that means a lot coming from me, because I've basically cut all emotional ties I've had with politics and this movement years ago. But the email was enough to bring it back. I can't be the only one.

I think the way they are handling/planing this event is absolutely top notch professional and based on a brilliant strategy. I think ignoring Paulfest is brilliant. Basically, I've never had more faith in the competence of the campaign staff and Paul's political advisers than I do right now. So kudos to them, and I'm going to go look at airfare because I actually want to be there now.


Cheers!

Can someone copy/paste the email? My email account is mostly spam these days, so I didn't get to read it.

And to cap it all off, I’ll be delivering the speech the Republican National Convention doesn’t want the rest of America to hear.

After the rally, my delegates and alternates will be riding chartered buses to the RNC Welcome Reception at Tropicana Field.

This is our opportunity to show that we are the future of the Republican Party, so I’m asking all of my supporters who aren’t delegates and alternates to line the route with signs so our delegates can make a grand entrance.

I love this because all of the delegates, bound or not, will be able to make a grand entrance that is sure to generate some media attention. If we can get the 5 states needed to nominate him, and give him a speech, it's just icing on the cake.

I take it he doesn't think he is getting a speech. We are still fighting for that, but this sounds great. I just skimmed the email. I will have to read it again.

And with 43 media groups already signed up, I suspect it is going to be close to as well covered as any speech at the RNC.

I'd love to feel the 2008 feeling...maybe I'm too jaded.

Dear XXXXXX

The Republican National Convention is rapidly approaching.

And my staff and legal team have been feverishly working to prepare for the credentials’ battle and platform fights we expect to have in Tampa.

Of course, we’re working very hard to achieve our goals in Tampa.

But as you’ve heard me say many times, we must also make sure to have some fun in the process.

So today, I wanted to let you know about some of the fun and exciting events we have planned for Tampa.

1) We are the Future Rally

The first event we have planned is our “We are the Future Rally” taking place on Sunday, August 26, at the Sun Dome in Tampa from 12:00 p.m. until 5:00 p.m.

At the rally, we will celebrate our liberty movement’s success at influencing and changing the direction of the Republican Party.

Doug Wead, Congressman Justin Amash, Barry Goldwater, Jr., Jack Hunter, and my son, Senator Rand Paul, will speak at the Rally.

We’ll also hear from some of our new leaders for the future, like State Senator Tom Davis in South Carolina and 21-year-old National Committeewoman Ashley Ryan from Maine.

As for entertainment, Jimmie Vaughan, Aimee Allen, Jordan Page, and John Popper of Blues Traveler with Ron Noyes will also provide live entertainment.

And to cap it all off, I’ll be delivering the speech the Republican National Convention doesn’t want the rest of America to hear.

After the rally, my delegates and alternates will be riding chartered buses to the RNC Welcome Reception at Tropicana Field.

This is our opportunity to show that we are the future of the Republican Party, so I’m asking all of my supporters who aren’t delegates and alternates to line the route with signs so our delegates can make a grand entrance.

2) Liberty Rocks After Party at Ferg’s Sports Bar and Grill

From 8:30 p.m. until 1 a.m. on Sunday, we’ll be hosting an after party and celebration at Ferg’s Sports Bar and Grill.

Aimee Allen, Jimmie Vaughan, and John Popper have been nice enough to agree to provide entertainment at this event, as well.

The Liberty Rocks After Party is open to everyone – not just delegates and alternates - so please come join us for a fun time Sunday night.

Tampa is going to be a very fun and exciting time.

You and I are going to plant our liberty flag in the Republican Party and prove once and for all that WE are the future of the GOP.

But we’re also going to have a lot of fun and celebrate the success of my campaign to Restore America NOW.

That’s why I hope you’ll do everything possible to get down to Tampa and celebrate liberty with me and thousands of our campaign's supporters.

But tickets are going fast, and space is limited.

So if you haven’t yet registered for the “We are the Future Rally,” it’s vital you do so now. You can register by clicking HERE.

I hope to see you in Tampa for a fun and exciting time!

For Liberty,

Ron Paul

P.S. The Republican National Convention is going to be a time for work, but it’s also going to be a lot of fun!

Even if you can’t make it, I hope you’ll agree to chip in a generous contribution to help ensure all my delegates are able to get to Tampa!
