Event Description: NBC NEWS REQUESTS: RON PAUL SUPPORTERS IN CHICAGO!

You! There in the Midwest!!! (Come on Indy - it's only 3 hours. We need you, too!)

If you had one chance to show the world the great importance of the Ron Paul campaign and the power of the peace and freedom message would you accept it?

Our meetup organizer received a news request from NBC NIGHTLY NEWS to cover the "Walk for Ron Paul" Saturday, 10/13 at Millennium Park in Chicago, Illinois at 11 AM CST. (They found him as the Organizer for the Chicago Ron Paul meetup.com group, and wanted to get the word out to the public.)

YIKES!

Can we get 1,000+ supporters there to show the world how much we care about Ron Paul??? If you care about Peace and Freedom you already know that Ron Paul is our last best hope for our country. Treat this opportunity as our last chance to get Ron Paul elected!

Blow the socks of Chicago and the whole United States. This type of grassroots activism is 100% time more important than showing up at the ballot box. This is the type of event that can change America.

Doug Adams a producer at NBC Nightly News contacted Brian and confirmed that they are working on a story about the Ron Paul campaign. They interviewed him at length and attended his speech at the Robert Taft Club in Arlington, Virginia. He wants to see lots of signs (on message of course) and lots of t-shirts. He wants to know if this Ron Paul movement is real, or if we are just only the internet. They will also be doing a photo opportunity/interview at his home.

I am confident that we can do our best to represent the Ron Paul peace and freedom message.

Note this event is happening in close proximity to the Columbus Day Parade, so traffic for the event will be very large.

We can make or break this effort. We need banners on all of the highways leading to the event! Signs everywhere! You make this happen!!! Please make this go viral, let all of your friends and family know. We have less than 24 hours!

We will be meeting in the plaza on the north side of the famous Chicago Millenium Bean in the plaza between 11:00 and 11:30 am. You won?t be able to miss us. Please be cordial with the security at Millennium Park, we have worked with them two times before for other events and they were very great. They have rightfully requested us to make sure that all walkways to the Bean are accessible and not blocked so that other tourists can access the site.

For our last walk the police provided for our safety as we walked on the sidewalk down Michigan Avenue and the Magnificent Mile. Let our enthusiasm be a shining example for Ron Paul and the Peace and Freedom movement.
