Four years ago, on November 10, 2011, I and other members of this board at the time (most of whom live(d) in Philadelphia realized the culmination of months of planning, and even some headwinds from the campaign itself, to see Ron Paul speak in front of THOUSANDS of Ron Paul supporters in Philadelphia. It wasn't easy. There were alot of problems, especially with the campaign and the meetups, but we got it done. To us, at the time, this was the biggest event of that campaign season. There were easily 3000 people who showed up on a cool November day to show their support and it coincided with some great fundraising and possibly got Ron Paul the most notice he had up to that point.
I wanted to commemorate that rally because it showed what could be done when everyone was heading in the same direction and working on a common goal.
Here's some video. Hopefully this will help remind you all where we came from and give us all some motivation:

Somewhere in the archives of this site are the original threads which got it all going. Hard to believe it's been 4 years already.
