So tonight Mitt Romney was about a block away from my house. I walked down to see thousands and thousands of people, all of my streets shut down etc. The reason I went down was not to pay Mitt Romney money to see him lie to me, but to talk to many ohioans about a project going on to get out reps and senators that voted on bills violating the constitution. I thought some people might be interested to hear some of the things I got to witness. Many people were excited to hear what I had to say, and to talk about the things that are getting passed in the house and senate. There were alot of intelligent people that I had the opportunity to speak with but their problems are they believe whatever Fox news tells them. So heres some of the things that happend.
1) Big Bird showed up... off topic but I definately got to meet him.
2) I was talking to a very intelligent man and his wife, about mid 60's. Everything that was coming out of this guy's mouth was Ron Paul sounding. Completely surrounded by Romney loving Americans, I leaned over and said, "You were a Paul supporter before the convention?" And what does this guy say to me? "I really like Ron Paul, but I really didn't pay attention to him much or what he had to say." So I say back to him, "Well you know, the reason I ask is because the things you are saying to me are exactly what Ron Paul says, not Romney." We went on to talk for about 20 more minutes and he definately was very, very intelligent and I can tell from what he was saying that he didn't have much faith in Romney, but like everyone felt forced to support him.
3) I was speaking to another guy probably mid 40's telling him about what we are doing. So I explicitly tell him we are Republicans and Democrats sick and tired of both parties flushing our rights down the toilet and that we want to get certain reps/sens in OH out of office. So what does this guy say to me "Why are you asking me to vote libertarian?!?!? That is just STUPID." I say back to him, "Sir this is nothing about parties, it's explicitly showing you the same bills you complain that Obama signed that got threw the Republican house, The Democratic Senate and then signed by Obama." He looks at me and says "Well I already no everything, so I am not interested."
4) We are not endorsing any presidential candidates, there are plenty of places where you can go argue about the president. We are focusing on Reps/Sens, not that we support either anyways, anyhow.... I am talking to another guy and he is probably mid 50s, and he looks at me and says "Who are you guys endorsing?" So I say to him "We aren't endorsing the presidential election, we are here to talk about Reps/Sens, because no one pays attention." He turns bright red and screams at me "THIS IS ABOUT THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION!!!!!" His wife embarassed, apologizes to me and tries to get him to calm down. I say "Well all respect sir, but goodluck getting the country to change with Romney and a terrible Congress." He looks at me and screams "GET RID OF ALL OF THEM!!!!!" His wife against apologizes to me, asks me for a card and thanks me for what I am trying to do.
5) I ran into another guy with his whole family, probably in his early 50's, who pretty much quoted the whole constitution for me... It was insane! And he quizzed me a little! I think this guy was at the wrong place...
6) All in all it was actually a pretty good time. I spent 4 hours there and talked to alot of intelligent people, some people didn't have a clue what's going on, some people pretended and had no clue what was going on, and some people are 100% aware and just feel forced into it. It's a sad time we live in, it makes me believe if RP would have one more run we could do it.
I am sure there are some good stories I am forgetting, my voice is gone, and I am exhausted. I thought some of you might be interested in reading a little of this. Some people did tell me to get lost, they already knew everything, they didn't have time for me (while standing in a line haha), and some lady told me that I need to get a job.
