We will be starting Friday morning August 29th (if we need a 2nd vehicle it may leave the morning of Saturday August 30th). The reason for the 29th is for anyone wishing to attend the Real Politics Training School that Sunday, August 31st may do so. Depending on demand we make take vans or charter busses.

The planning should be complete in a few days. There will be a deposit needed to reserve seats on the Ronvoy. When you are told the amount you will need to go to the http://rallytravel.eventbrite.com/ website to reserve your seat.

In any case please email myself if you are interested in using the Ronvoy and if you need a room. My address is chris @ augustine-nc.com (mailto:chris@augustine-nc.com) (without the spaces). This will keep you informed as well as make potential needs known. We are trying to get blocks of rooms for each Ronvoy vehicle to help with the logistics and to provide vehicles for riders during our stay in St. Paul. We are also in need of potential drivers and backup drivers. Transportation charges will be reduced for your help. Please email if you have an interest in volunteering.


In any case please purchase your tickets (http://www.ticketmaster.com/event/060040F69A275DEB?artistid=1241314&majorcatid=10005&minorcatid=105) now for the Rally for the Republic event in at the Target center that will feature plenty of bands and speakers, including Ron Paul. These tickets only cost 17.76 for the entire 10 1/2 hour show before ticketmaster charges and there are only 13,000 of them total. Once the bands get fully announced look for the tickets to be gone.
