120+ Ron Paul Patriots in the LARGEST EVENT IN FLORIDA, YET!!!

[po14015]

What a great way to celebrate Labor Day!!! We were in a parade and had a picnic in Southwest Florida. Englewood in Sarasota County had OVER 120 Ron Paul Patriots!!! We had people in the parade, at a booth, and at the picnic area. A HUGE THANKS to Woody, the organizer and everyone who came.

I couldn't wait to get the footage up. I wasn't in charge of the video/photos but took some anyway.

Short Raw Footage:
(I was driving, so I don't have us in the parade. That should be in the nice video that comes out.)

i see a few XBs with paintjobs, a M3 with rims, and a 350Z with a CF hood

was there a carshow nearby, or were they RP guys?

nevermind saw the RP signs :P

[michaelwise]

I was there. It was a blast.

[FSP-Rebel]

Sweeeet!

[jorger]

nice job guys, the Miami/Broward meetups went to the labor day Democratic party picnic, had a good time for most of it, many of them really welcomed us. Had a few converts and hopefully more on the way =)

To everyone in Florida, we only have 14 days until the good Doctor get to Ft. Lauderdale, we need to be prepared to welcome him.

[pennycat]

Awesome!

[michaelwise]

I got a sense from talking with spectators today about the Florida Englewood parade, That the Ron Paul grass roots campaign is being deliberately ignored by TV. Now what would give them that Idea, and why would they do that?

[po14015]

Our groups are now writing to all the local media:
We want to make sure they knew that we were there :-)
One person watching said, "Is this a Ron Paul parade?"

Here is our email:
If anyone wants to send a few nice emails, we welcome any help.

[catwoman]

Has anyone sent the video to CNN as an I-Report? I doubt they'll show it, but it's worth a try.

[Razmear]

Any word on the 'edited video' yet? I'll add it to the Blog/Digg once it's available.
