Ron Paul announces...


From an e-mail I just received:





http://img.mailchimp.com/2008/12/11/db74477157_yal_logo_600w.jpg (http://yaliberty.us1.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=f1340031d3e25504f5712bcb1&id=3bb5799c9e&e=9edca4a7b8)



Ron Paul announces... that he's going on a Spring 2011 Campus Tour!


You asked for it, and Dr. Paul delivered. The size of the crowds at these campuses will help Congressman Paul decide whether or not he should run for president in 2012.


That's right -- I'm excited to announce that five YAL chapters were selected to host Congressman Paul on their campuses this Spring. The first two stops are already complete and were amazing successes -- University of New Hampshire and North Carolina State University.

Three more schools are now set to host Congressman Paul next month: Mississippi State University, Florida State University, and University of Nevada - Reno.

YAL is co-hosting these events with Campaign for Liberty, and your support helps us offset the traveling expenses, promotional costs, and venue rentals. If you can, please chip-in with a $50, $25, or $10 donation (http://yaliberty.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f1340031d3e25504f5712bcb1&id=236c34e61d&e=9edca4a7b8) so YAL can continue to bring Congressman Paul to campuses across the country.


Please take a minute to review the exciting news coverage already generated! Congressman Paul will have visited five campuses in less than two months by the end of his tour.
1. The University of New Hampshire: On Thursday, March 24, Congressman Paul spoke to a packed house at the University of New Hampshire. Here are just a few reports from this great event:




"A standing-room-only crowd (http://yaliberty.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f1340031d3e25504f5712bcb1&id=1a5a90402c&e=9edca4a7b8) of more than 550 people at the University of New Hampshire on Thursday afternoon provided a stark display of how the Ron Paul Revolution lives on."
"'Liberty' was the subject of an address (http://yaliberty.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f1340031d3e25504f5712bcb1&id=aefebe707a&e=9edca4a7b8) by Congressman Ron Paul, R-Texas, given to a standing-room-only crowd in the Granite State Room of the Memorial Union Building at the University of New Hampshire Thursday."
"It's officially primary season in New Hampshire (http://yaliberty.us1.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=f1340031d3e25504f5712bcb1&id=fec65fad4a&e=9edca4a7b8) (although Ron Paul hasn't officially thrown his hat into the ring) and, despite the apathetic college student that every other generation likes to speak about, it became clear that a significant portion of this campus is eager to engage in the political process. Although plenty of non-students came up for the speech, in some cases driving hours to be present, the majority of the crowd was UNH students."

2. North Carolina State University: Just a few days later, Ron Paul traveled south for another popular speech, this time in North Carolina. The event on Monday, March 28 was met with a full house of enthusiastic students cheering for freedom, as Rep. Paul spoke against the new war in Libya:


"The Texas congressman orated (http://yaliberty.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f1340031d3e25504f5712bcb1&id=ad4cddce46&e=9edca4a7b8) to applause and cheers throughout his speech, which covered topics ranging from U.S. offensive action on Libya to the causes of and cures for the current U.S. financial crisis. Paul, who ran for president in 2008, said he is considering running for president in 2012, a decision that will be based on the value of the dollar.
"Texas Congressman Ron Paul spoke (http://yaliberty.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f1340031d3e25504f5712bcb1&id=91e5826956&e=9edca4a7b8) to a packed auditorium on the North Carolina State University campus Monday evening and spoke out about the U.S. action in Libya."
"President Obama’s Libyan campaign (http://yaliberty.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f1340031d3e25504f5712bcb1&id=87fd115b77&e=9edca4a7b8) represents 'the continuation of a deeply flawed foreign policy.' That’s the assessment of U.S. Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, who used those words in a news conference two hours before the president’s televised address on the topic."

If you live within driving distance of any of these events, please try to make it out! This is your chance to see Ron Paul up close and in person, and you could show him the support he needs to make a decision to run in 2012.

I promise you won't want to miss any of these events -- especially in the run up to primary season! Make sure to invite your friends so we can pack the house, as Congressman Paul spreads our message of limited government, sound money, and a non-interventionist foreign policy.

SWEEEEEEEET!

YAL just loves teasing us

[Kotin]

Regardless of the tease, this is awesome news!!


College campuses clearly are Ron Paul's bread and butter

[Krugerrand]

They're also very important. They represent both current foot soldiers and future financiers of liberty. They are the people the conservatism had failed to reach for too long and were people being lost to socialism.

But - don't take their student loans or they go :mad::eek::mad: on you.

[UtahApocalypse]

Damn you Matt!!! I almost bashed my head into the ceiling jumping out of my chair!!

[Matt Collins]

Damn you Matt!!! I almost bashed my head into the ceiling jumping out of my chair!!
Don't blame me, blame YAL. They are the ones who wrote it.

Lol

[Legend1104]

I plan on going to the one at MSU and bringing a friend. I didn't know he was going to have a book signing. His new book will have just come out. This poses a dilema because I would have to take off in order to see that at 3:30. NO!!

[eduardo89]

I hate you YAL! I got so excited for a second there! I'm going to join YAF now out of spite :p

Just kidding, it's awesome RP is doing a campus tour, his message really resonates with the youth.

I wish I could be there.

[Matt Collins]

My Facebook Page says similar things lol

[speciallyblend]

dam tease ,now i need a release sigh!

[speciallyblend]

Damn you Matt!!! I almost bashed my head into the ceiling jumping out of my chair!!

yeah and now matt saying blame yal, well yal didn't make this thread matt did. maybe girls he meets need to give him blue balls and walk away;)

[Anti Federalist]

God Dammit Collins!!

Grrrr...

[kah13176]

I remember when everyone was positive he would announce in January. Then it was before CPAC. Then it was...

[Matt Collins]

dam tease ,now i need a release sigh!
ewww

[Matt Collins]

Bump.... just for fun

[sailingaway]

I remember when everyone was positive he would announce in January. Then it was before CPAC. Then it was...

And by 'everyone'...... you mean Matt....

I think he'll announce the exploratory committee he HAS to file by Friday, or not be able to participate in the debate.

[Nate5176]

We need to get him down to the Young Americans for Liberty at Virginia Commonwealth University!

[FriedChicken]

"A standing-room-only crowd of more than 550"

Thats a pathetically sized venue for RP to speak at, I can't believe anyone would bother booking him in a room with less than 1000 capacity. I'm glad he had the event, that they booked it and so many people came but the promoters fell short on providing him a hall in my opinion. More people could have been there.

[acptulsa]

Damn you Matt!!! I almost bashed my head into the ceiling jumping out of my chair!!

You really ought to know better by now. The menu lists who wrote the thread title right under the thread title. And Matt's name there is just like the proverbial grain of salt.

Maybe if he got rid of that crystal ball and got a Magic Eight Ball.

[Matt Collins]

Maybe if he got rid of that crystal ball and got a Magic Eight Ball.Now there is another photoshop waiting to happen :-P

[Aratus]

i bleary eyed stayed up way too late last nite netsurfing, and then as i slowly sip
my needful morning/noon coffee... i see a header i would have done CAPs for!!!
(((DRUMROLLs))) RON PAUL ANNOUNCES... (hi matt collins! looks above! yep!)

[acptulsa]

Sorry to hear that, Aratus. A grain of salt doesn't go so well with coffee.

[Aratus]

acptulsa --- i fortuitously didn't open a salt packet insted of the sugar...

the lil email once again does hint that maybe maybe maybe maybe maybe maybe

posssibly & most likely & hypothetically a new candidate is about to announce a... potus run!

[Aratus]

we all must have the d.c press corp going at tymes...

and to think if you carfully read what Rand has recently said,

when they all phone in their stories, they had better check the first name

of the hypothetical candidate with the last name PAUL before

sending things off to an irritable editor as in elsewhere!

[acptulsa]

By the way, on The View he hinted that an official announcement would be approximately a month away.

[Aratus]

i briefly totally liked the idea of a paul/paul ticket
and i can aptly hold back from saying if i am thinking
of ron, rand or robert paul! matt collins is teasing us all!

[Aratus]

matt... we all rEVOLUTIOn be calendar~wise closer
to MAY FIRST rather than (yep)... APRIL FOOLs!!!!
prankishly prankishly prankishly prankishly prankishly
cooooooooool it a bit with the 'glam slam gotchah'
headers UNTIL within 24 to 48 hours of... "you know"...

[acptulsa]

I suspect he owns stock in a couple of makers of blood pressure medicine.

[Aratus]

managing editors are notorious for preasure cooker nerve endings.
at this rate, Matt Collins could get some cub reporter sadly fired who
is more tabloid trained and given to one~source~journalism if the
poor cub reporter does not check out the story in full and has almost
plagarized matt collin's missives thinking they came directly from the
campaign. i am in awe of matt collins, he is a hard campaigner and
actually ought to run for office himself in a big way someday. if he
keeps on sending out a teaser hint when things are only at a 60% or
70% or 75% or 80% or 85 percent tipover point in the context of a
potus run, and we have had speculation about rand's future run that
might be similar to the one ron just did in 2008, this REALLY complicates
the story! since this gettin' closer to the MAY 5th debate, i'm asking
MATT to hold back on headers like this UNTIL we KNOW its 95% to 99%
certain that RON PAUL IS DEFINATELY RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT IN 2012!
