NJ Rally. Kickin ass and taking names

AWESOME RON PAUL RALLY .....with a surprise twist ending!!

SATURDAY: AUGUST 11th - North New Jersey

About a dozen of us showed up and set up shop at a very busy intersection. We tied our huge "RON PAUL:NO IRS" banner between a traffic light and telephone pole. Everyone had their own signs "SAVE OUR TROOPS"..."GOOGLE RON PAUL"..."HOPE FOR AMERICA" .. "RON PAUL 2008)..

I was amazed at the constant honks that we generated. Some drivers shouted "Ron Paul"...or "Yeah! No IRS!"

There was however one angry driver who passed by honking, waving his middle finger and shouting "F-U!, F-U!"...(more on him later!!!)

Heidi and Anne worked the center divider and then the opposite side of the intersection, while the rest of us waved signs and gave out literature to the motorists stopped at red lights . We unloaded over 300 idiot-proof "Voter Guides" You can view and download this useful guide at

http://ronpaulpostcards.com/candidates.html and an equal number of slim jims.

Over the course of 3 hours, FOUR different people pulled over, got out of their cars, and asked how they could get involved in the RP campaign! We told them about our active group and they are excited about joining! One of these passers-by is the Mayor of Riverdale, NJ. He told me that he would never vote for anybody other than Ron Paul, then he gave me his card if he could be of assistance with future events!

A police officer stopped by and requested information from us! We gave him a Voter Guide and an awesome DVD that Don made (a collection of RP's greatest hits!) The public visibilty was powerful. THOUSANDS of cars passed and saw our cheering mob.

Finally, at the very end, Don, Heidi and I were cleaning up. Remember the guy who had cursed us out about an hour earlier? Well, he returned loking to start trouble. He parks his car and plants himself about 40 feet from us, waving a cardboard sign: "HONK IF YOU DON'T GIVE A RAT'S ASS" ...and he starts shouting the same words at passing motorists!

I walked over and asked him what his problem was. He starts shouting about what phonies politicians are and accusing us of being paid political operatives. This guy really HATES politicians and he was proud of the fact that he doesn't vote.

I sensed that this gentleman had a few screws loose, (Ya think?) but I always admire a man with balls, so I tried to convert him. I explained to him that we were all non-paid volunteers who finance our own rallies, and that many of us had not voted in years because we also hate politicians.

I asked him: "If you hate politicians as much as you say you do, you really should take a look at this guy before you judge him. He's unique."

"OK, tell me what's so special about him." he asked.

I told him how the Republican party wanted to kick him out because he's different and I handed him a voter guide and a DVD. As he's glancing at the flyer he looks up at me, and in a calm voice, asks: "Is that the guy who was on Comedy Central?"

...NO LIE! Heidi then jumped into the converstaion and we sold him on joing our group! Of course, I may have to keep a tight leash on this dude, but someone as ballsy as him will benefit our group immensely!

So, our middle finger waving, loud mouth nemesis is now one of us! True strory...
That's what the power of truth and the message of liberty can do!

See you all at the next event!

By the way,

since I wrote and posted that original letter to my meetup group, I received an email from our new friend. ..."I'm that ballsy guy you wrote about at your meetup site. Count me in!"

JosephTheLibertarian · 08-13-2007, 03:00 PM

AWESOME STORY Especially the cop, the mayor, and the psycho part. Thats really good news. Things like that makes it all worth while.

Ron Paul converts non-believers and people who hate politicans, I think that is his biggest plus.

Hopefully the disenfranchised come out of the woodwork in 08 and vote for him.
