I have been in touch with a few different people in the campaign about the Philly rally, with the main contact being a woman named Amanda Lee. The responses started coming after I contacted Jeff Frazee about the lack of response from the campaign on this issue. But, really, this is neither here nor there.
Here is the Gist of what I am getting at this point.
The campaign is extremely overworked (Good and bad at the same time).
The campaign is aware of the event at all levels
Amanda tells me that November will be on the agenda in a couple of weeks (mid September, she said). What this essentially means is that they haven't started booking for November (I already knew that because I looked at their calendar online). She told me that November looks far better than October. (that's why we started this well in advance).
There are several people, including myself, who are working on this and we all expect a positive outcome. The campaign seem amenable to the date and the concept from what I can tell and I am now getting the feeling that they are taking this seriously.
We will keep you updated as events warrant but there is reason for optimism in what we are hearing now and as soon as Dr. Paul is committed by the campaign, it will be much easier to book other speakers. :)
