On Sunday, Republican Presidential candidate Ron Paul's supporters took to the streets of Philadelphia by the thousands in the rain to declare their love for liberty and the "Champion of the Constitution". The 12-term Congressman from Texas had thousands expected to attend the Philadelphia rally for Phreedom 2012 on the lawn at Independence Hall, rain or shine.

2012 Republican Presidential candidate Ron Paul drew a remarkable 4,300-plus voters to a major campaign rally he held on the Independence Mall in Philadelphia despite poor weather conditions that would have kept supporters of other candidates away.

Event organizers noted that, despite the inclement weather, supporters and undecided voters greeted the 12-term Congressman from Texas with the characteristic enthusiasm for which his crowds are known. It had rained all day and with chilly temperatures to boot, many attendees responded that they were cold, uncomfortable, and feeling poorly. And yet, the people perservered for Paul.
Also noteworthy is that the campaign event took place in the footsteps of America’s modern founders, who conceptualized, advocated for, and created a modest federal government of the kind Ron Paul has been promoting for more than three decades.

yeah, $120 FRN, but they would also accept silver ;) And Ron Paul has that dinner right now in Philly - 4-7 I believe... $400 FRN to get in to that one.

Could have racked up a heavy bill today...

The AP blurb is he spoke to people in the rain with the longshot campaign trailing Romney etc etc

They NEVER mention that it was thousands, much less 4 thousand + waiting in the rain to hear him.

Yes. Hopefully there's a vid that makes it look like a huge train of people, whether it was actually that many people or not.

That video is the pre-rally End the Fed march through Philly. It was a blast. I'm holding up the Paul sign with the guy in the yellow rain coat. I'll have pics to share in a bit...

:D

Awesome. Kudos for all those people showing up in the cold rain to make their statement.
