Campaign for Liberty in Minneapolis

[Razel]

Tuesday, July 22, 2008

If they expected us to retire quietly from the scene, the political elite are in for a surprise.

Today I am making some very big announcements.

First, from August 31 to September 2 in Minneapolis, we will host a handful of events that will shake the political establishment. Everything will culminate on Tuesday with the official launch of the Campaign for Liberty at the Rally for the Republic.

The Campaign for Liberty will be the largest organization for peace, freedom, the Constitution, and sound money in American history. It will launch in grand fashion with lots of special guests and - if the early television and print inquiries we've received are any indication - plenty of media attention.

I would like to personally invite you and your family to join me and thousands of others in Minneapolis for these events and send a message to the Republican Party.

Tickets will go on sale for the Rally for the Republic this Friday, July 25 @ 10AM CST. We want this to be an unforgettable day, so we are holding a ticket bomb all day Friday in the tradition of our famous money bombs. How many seats can we sell on the first day?

In patriotic fashion all tickets will cost $17.76, so you can afford to bring the whole family.

This leads me to the second big announcement. After measuring the excitement and enthusiasm, we decided that the Williams Arena at the University of Minnesota was just too small to hold you. Therefore, we are making a significant upgrade. The Rally for the Republic will now take place at the Target Center, the largest arena in Minneapolis!

This promises to be the most spirited and provocative political event of the year! We held some very large rallies during the presidential campaign, but I have never attempted anything of this scale before. Its success rests entirely in your hands.

Later this week I will announce two internationally renowned musicians as headliners for the Rally for the Republic. We'll also be joined by rock star Aimee Allen, NBC's Tucker Carlson, Barry Goldwater Jr., Gov. Gary Johnson, conservative stalwart Grover Norquist, former Reagan deputy Attorney General Bruce Fein, presidential historian Doug Wead, MTV's Adam Curry, musician Mark Scibilia, and Frank Sinatra impersonator Rick Ellis. Other special guests will be announced soon.

My staff has been working overtime to provide you with three full days of entertainment. Please visit the schedule page of the website and read all about upcoming events. We also have a lodging page to help you find accommodations in Minneapolis.

Together we are taking back our government and restoring the republic. Please join me in Minneapolis to kickoff the Campaign for Liberty and support our Revolution. Can I count on you to be there?

In Liberty,

Ron Paul

P.S. I know that you have done so much already, but with both major party nominees threatening to lead us into bankruptcy at home and more wars abroad, the success of the Rally for the Republic and the launch of the Campaign for Liberty is crucial. Please do what you can to be in Minneapolis August 31 - September 2 and send a loud and clear message of freedom, peace, and prosperity.

Interesting enough.

[Lotharr]

tl;dr version plz

[Silverhandorder]

I am kinda frustrated since I can't make it there. Too poor.

[Lethn]

Finally! This is what I like to see! Just you lot wait in a couple of years I'll be moving over to cause even more revolution....

Seriously though, it's nice to see something like this actually go ahead, instead of just trying to re-instate himself as president he's genuinely trying to do something about a rotten government.

And yet the second we have the chance to change thing what happens? America like the SHEEPLE they are, vote in more rotten people to keep the government the same.

[Traep]

..and Frank Sinatra impersonator Rick Ellis..

Seriously? Hah. I wouldn't have mentioned that one.

But really, even though I disagree a lot with Ron Paul's positions, I also agree with a decent amount of what he says and creating a debate is always a good thing.

This attitude doesn't help Ron Paul's cause at all, just FYI.

[Arkh]

"political elite" <= you lose.
When you consider politicians as being an elite, you have already lost the battle.

The only person who's a sheep is you for thinking that a situations hopeless when it's not because it shows you've already been poisoned by their propaganda :)

I dont think the situation is hopeless. I just dont think there is any hope for the people to do the right thing. Most people are more worried about themselves than the group. Politics should be the part where you dont think only of yourselves but everyone else but that rarely happens.

I have not voted in what will now be my 4th election because I have yet to agree with any of the choices. I wont vote for someone because he is just better than someone else when I dont agree with a majority of what he stands for.

[Lethn]

I actually agree with you, I'm not voting here in the UK and it's actually partly because I think we're living in more of a bunch of police states now than actual democracy's, for the most part it's pretty much a two party system and unless the third party has an overwhelming majority not to mention that there are age limits and fees that pretty much stop anyone beyond the middle class and upwards from actually being able to form a political party so we're almost never going to get view points that we agree with.

I'll try my damnedest to be their, im gona check and see what plane tickets cost from SoCal to St Paul

[Delwyn]

Wasnt there another big rally scheduled to be somewhere not long ago?

Only if he was implying that this was bad. I think it is very good. :P

I like your SotA sig much much more. Please change. :(

On-topic: Good luck with the revolution guys. It will sadly enough fail.
Finished Ron Paul's new book yesterday and he has wonderful ideas but I doubt the mainstream would enjoy it. Especially the poor black folks that lives in the ghettos. They enjoy "CHAAAAANGE!" much more.

Pour vous.

I think any sort of individual freedom revolution will only work when the stupid self-entitled moron baby boomers die. Then the selfish Nintendo generation will be able to force through that sharing misery sucks balls.

[Surly]

I like nintendo.

[Killuminati]

sharing is caring

[Aragoni]

So... Was anyone there? How was it?

Jesse Ventura's Speech owned !

It can be found on Utube, Jesse is really concerned with the state of affairs in the world, he should be commended for his courage & outspokenness !!!

Link to it. I kind of wrote Ventura off as a lunatic a few weeks ago when I saw a different interview he did, but I'd be very interested in seeing him redeem himself in my mind.

ron paul can lick my hairy balls.
