Hello all,
I'm writing to report from Cambridge, MA where I spent some time promoting Ron Paul this morning. First, I zip-tied up a custom made banner reading 6'x3.5' "Ron Paul for President" over Memorial Drive in Cambridge. After going to class I drove out to Wellesley, MA on the campus of Wellesley College where Hillary was having a rally this morning.
For promoting Ron Paul on the Wellesley campus, I selected some rally signs (purchased from ronpaul2008.com) and a custom-made "Ron Paul for President" banner that MIT Students for Ron Paul made at a sign making meeting last week.
I tried, but I couldn't bear to listen to Hillary's speech for very long. I'll leave it at that. So I set up outside waiting for the crowd to leave. As soon as the doors opened, I had three volunteers ready to hold signs with me!
For the most part, the Wellesley girls seemed needlessly hostile and poorly informed of the issues :(. I tried to engage several of them in a discussion, but that didn't go very well... Several shouted "No boys allowed." (Wellesley is an all girls school), but one girl screamed "Ron Paul rocks my world!" and another asked about joining a local meetup group.
A volunteer sign-holder and I were interviewed by the student newspaper, and almost everyone at the event saw our signs, so we definitely got the name out there. We tried to get on camera for the news reports, but who knows if the video will air. All in all, I declare this another victory for the rEVOLution!
