It's time for Ron Paul Christmas parade floats across America

[vechorik]

I just got off the phone with the Christmas parade committee and it's Christmas time already.
Time to organize with a group of Ron Paul supporters and get a float, car, anything in the Christmas parade!
Great advertising, fun and almost free!
Hope to see some YouTubes of 2012 efforts.

I wish someone could get one in the Macy's Thanksgiving parade. Or, even better, the Rose Parade.

This is a good idea for the smaller communities, though. It wouldn't take a lot to have the best float in our hometown parade. Ha!

We had a Ron Paul float and floats for 3 local candidates in a Veteran's Day Parade this past weekend.

Just take care to clarify that the parade guidlines don't prohibit candidates or political groups from participating--many don't allow it. I wanted to get into Christmas and St Pat's parades here in 07-08, and the vast majority allowed only current elected officials/dignataries in their parades. We got denied.

Also, some folks on facebook were slamming local libertarian candidates after the Vet's Day parade, spouting drivel about how they disgraced the veterans, etc. (Mind you, several of our canidates ARE veterans.) Politicking at any celebratory/holiday event will inevitably piss a few people off. Just be aware of that and keep your message/float as relevant to the event and noncontroversial as possible.

Oh my gosh does RP have a float for the Macy's TGD parade?!

In small towns, they're desperate for any float participation, so I don't think anything would be denied there. The more the merrier -- even politics.

We have an antique truck that we're going to put a Ron Paul banner on and enter it into the "antique vehicle" category.

We had a very successful parade float in Mississippi. We had a great response and handed out 1000 super brochures. I think it was well worth the cost and effort. Where else would 10,000 people see enthusiastic RP supporters handing out brochures to super cool rock music with Ron Paul quotes mixed in for less than $200.
