From Maine to Cambridge MA to NYC for the huge Ron Paul rally! I am defying those who are writing off NY to volunteer in NH because I know that the good Doctor can win anywhere. If you see us waving our signs give us a honk or swing in and help us out.

More to come!

Please, if you're involved with that group, do Ron an ENORMOUS favor: just wave Ron Paul signs and wear Ron Paul t-shirts. People have said it a thousand times, and they're right -- it's inappropriate to hijack Ron Paul events with the "truther" message, and it may actually hurt Ron A LOT. So please, just go out and support Ron. Don't comingle your message with his. Have a 911 Truth rally another day, another time.

Respectfully,

ron Paul is finishing up some interviews in the hyatt, a speech to follow around 12. There's a republican running from new York but you'd never be able to tell. Incredible turn out and more showing. Can't believe I'm in manhattan!

They are. Wherever Ron goes, there are crowds and video cameras. Be patient -- I predict this'll be on youtube before the day's over. :)

steph3n
10-13-2007, 10:18 AM
they never really stopped, kept on walking some stragglers behind maybe 10-15. maybe they were too long of a line to all cross the road at the same time


dang, i missed it - were they in front of the marriott?
Jared Callanan
10-13-2007, 10:23 AM

It would be hard to assasinate ron paul and live, wherever he goes he has an army, if you shot him they would immediately disperse, catch you, and fuck you up until you are dead

Starks,

Being a dumb tourist I thought we had gone through Rockefeller but it turns out that was the area we were turned away by security

We actually passed by Rockefeller Center and were turned away since it is private property. Some tried to get through but I kept yelling to them to come back. Didn't want any trouble. There were no problems.

I have to say it was my first rally. It was a lot of fun but tiring- my voice is gone. I am hungry and my lower back is killing me.

I definitely would do it again.
