If you're close by, take lots of signs, and pass them out to other supporters in the crowd. Everybody and their brother watches the ball drop!

I usually don't like watching this kinda stuff, but me thinks tonight will be different :)

We'll see. There's a video out there somewhere (I can't find it right now) where a producer at a straw poll (I think) is telling his cameraman what shots to get, and specifically tells him to not get a shot of the Ron Paul people. That might be what you wind up seeing tonight.

If you've ever watched local news coverage of political visits, they always try to make 20 supporters look like some huge crowd that's worthy of media coverage. From the local stations all the way up, media people are pretty sneaky.

even people that don't know Ron Paul can be converted on the spot and hold a sign for the ball drop!! :)

The Manhattan Meetup Group will be marching to Times Square at 7:00 PM tonight from Ron Paul Headquarters on West 29th Street. They will have a massive sign wave in front of thousands of people, and perhaps millions if they can get on television.

You should bring extra signs.

7PM is too late to get a prime spot. try 4PM.

You should bring extra signs.


People will be able to pick up signs and materials at the Ron Paul Headquarters on West 29th Street. In addition, they are allowing people to stay for the night after the big party:

Yeah, that was it. I looked all over for that sucker. Shady, and probably common.

That's a good point. I'll pass that idea on to the Meetup organizers!

You New Yorkers want some "street theater"? Well you've got the biggest stage in the world to perform on tonight. All the NYC meetup groups should be there.

New York has more supporters than anyone realizes - and of course everywhere and every time zone has their events
but all eyes are on Times Square first -
tune in tonight if ya' want to, and get those DVD recorders etc. warmed up for YouTubes -
have a fun night everybuddy.

The Constitutional Convention of 2008 starts to convene tonight.

If you're in the New York area, there is still time to get to Ron Paul Headquarters on West 29th Street for the big events.
