Just make sure when you order tickets you inquire under the banner of "Rudy" or one of these other bought and pain for scumbags. If they know you are supporting RP they will not be helpful.

This is a VERY important point. If they are excluding Ron Paul, they will definately exclude his supporters.

Invitations will be required to attend January's debates
Myrtle Beach Online

November 12, 2007

Now that the dates for the two presidential debates have been nailed down - Jan. 10 for the Republicans, Jan. 21 for the Democrats - you might be wondering how you can attend.

The answer is: You probably can't. No tickets will be available for the public.

'Most debates are invitation only,' said Amie Lee, executive project coordinator with the Myrtle Beach Area Chamber of Commerce.

Here are the answers to other questions you might have:

Question | Who issues the invitations?

Answer |The two sponsoring entities, the state Republicans for the Republican debate and the Congressional Black Caucus for the Democrats, control the majority of the invitations, Lee said. Other groups attached to the debates, such as the networks - Fox News for the Republicans, CNN for the Democrats - will also be allocated tickets, Lee said.

Q. | Will volunteers be able attend?

A. | Not necessarily, Lee said.

'We need tons of volunteers to make this thing run smoothly, but unfortunately that does not promise a ticket into the debate,' Lee said.

Much of the volunteer work - such as stuffing welcome bags and working as concierges at area hotels - will take place prior to the debates or off-site, Lee said. Another big job will be placing directional signs for visitors all over town and picking them afterward, Lee said.

Q. | How can I volunteer?

A. | Call local volunteer coordinating organization Step Up!, 349-6488, or go to www.myrtlebeach presidentialdebates.com. That site is a portal to detailed information on both debates, Lee said, and also has an online sign-up form for volunteers.

Q. | Who will moderate the debates?

A. | The networks are still making the final decision, Lee said, but Fox's Brit Hume has been discussed for the Republicans, and CNN's Wolf Blitzer for the Democrats.

Q. | Who will provide security?

A. | Security will come from all over, Lee said: the State Law Enforcement Division, the Secret Service, Capitol Hill Police, local police departments and private security firms.

Looks like we are going to need to get volenteers into the debate. Tickets will be hard to come by. Any volenteers out there?

[ExpatinArgentina]

Any word on tickets?

I hope this disruption of the forum is not going to happen. That will reflect really badly on Dr. Paul. Please don't do that.

Check ebay. If enough people get it, make sure you cause a HUGE disturbance.
