Save the Philadelphia Rally!!!! IMPORTANT! SIGN THIS PETITION!!!

[Sematary]

As you know, Andy and I have been working very hard to get the rally in Philadelphia going on November 10th. What you probably don't know is that Amanda Lee, who I have been in contact with, sent me the contact info for the the main Philly meetup organizer. I thought this was going to be a good thing. It turns out I was incorrect. The Philly organizer apparently has his own agenda and is allowing his ego to get in the way of supporting the candidacy of Ron Paul. All I can say at this time is that there is a major rift occurring in the Greater Philly Meetup group and that the organizer of this group will not back the Rally on November 10, 2007 as he was not "consulted" ahead of time and therefore feels put out by the whole thing. He has announced plans for his OWN rally on the philly meetup message boards. It is his immaturity and ego which have caused this to happen and since he has the ear of the campaign (It was Amanda who gave me his contact info), he can effectively KILL the Philadelphia rally due to his bruised ego. To counteract this obvious childish political ploy, I have created a petition which I expect each and everyone on this board to sign and pass along to their respective groups to sign. With enough signatures, we can nullify this egomaniac whose only purpose, apparently, is to stroke his own ego.

Here is a message sent to Andy from one of this egomaniacs own assistant organizers to show you where the Philly group stands at this point:

I heard George Feeser is being rude to you, and honestly that makes me sick, because I know of the time and effort spent on your part to make a memorable event here in Philadelphia, and very much respect you for it. We are working as Asst. Organizers (though, I was kicked off of that aspect, due to a personal vendetta on George's part) to make sure the event is on November 10th. Bill, Mehul, Jay Parker, and I all will have it no other way. So hang tight, and ignore George's bullshit, and we will do our best, within our means (since George is supreme ruler and all) to make sure we get this back into control, and to actually have say in our own group. It has honestly been hijacked by George, and it is pissing off a lot of people. Jay Parker and I just want you to know that we are on your side and doing our best.

So....

IF you want to see the Philadelphia rally occur - sign this petition:
http://www.petitiononline.com/Phrally/petition.html
We need THOUSANDS of signatures and we need them now!

Here is how it reads:

To: Ron Paul Campaign

We, the grassroots supporters of Ron Paul, hereby petition the Ron Paul campaign to commit Ron Paul to an appearance on November 10, 2007 at Independence Mall in Philadelphia. In the pursuit of freedom for All Americans, we support Ron Paul who carries the message of freedom and liberty to all corners of the United States with the intended purpose of returning the government of the United States to the people of the United States.

The purpose for this petition is two-fold.

First, this Rally will be an incredible event enabling thousands of supporters to hear Ron Paul speak in a venue of historical significance which symbolizes the freedoms and liberties which this campaign embodies.

Secondly, the rally will serve as a notice to the Main Stream Media that the support for Ron Paul goes well beyond the internet and that they can no longer ignore his candidacy or his supporters.

By signing this petition, I am asking the campaign of Ron Paul to give consideration to the grassroots, which is, in many ways, responsible for the position the campaign now holds in the presidential race. We, the undersigned, respectfully request that on November 10, 2007 Ron Paul speak to his supporters and rally the troops for the impending primary elections.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned

Admin - please sticky this thread!!!

what a pathetic cum rag

His ego really doesn't matter.

Signed.

He's been sucked in by the Coalition crew. I've bitched about him on here before, along with an organizer from another PA group. It's becoming more and more obvious that not everyone has RP's best interests in mind..

The only interest this asshat has is his own. He needs to be smacked down and if it comes to it - I will post his email and cell phone info so that he can be smacked down by the grassroots he pretends to be a part of.

He was put out by the fact that we didn't contact him FIRST before starting this thing and now is pissed off at his co-organizers, and us, for "ignoring" him. The fact that he was out of the country at the time and wasn't even around when his meetup won the competition has nothing to do with anything. His goal is to be the hero - the guy who got it done. That is his agenda. Plain and simple. His co-organizers are planning to leave him high and dry if he won't cooperate as they WANT this rally, and he doesn't because he can't take credit for it - even though we told him he could take all the credit he wants.

Dear George F from the Greater Philly Group.

This is Dave C from Philly and Cherry Hill/South Jersey. You know me because we talked the day you got back from France. You were pretty upset that this rally was being set up and you didn't know anything about it. I informed you that I thought you were involved but as it turns out, I get people mized up with this campaign. Yeah, through Tom I'm also the Camden County coordinator. Yeah, I'm also part of AFFTF, Greater Philly, Cherry Hill ect ect. I don't always know who is who. It doesn't matter though brother. We're all on the same team supposedly.
I sent money into the forum so we could get insurance, and Sematary went ahead with Andy and got it. They also got in contact with the appropraite people at the park.
Based upon November 10 date, I went ahead and set up another interview in studio for one hour on the Michael Smerconish show (as I set up the first interview a few months ago).

You were livid when I spoke to you ,mostly because you weren't involved in the setting up of this rally and you told me that by going around you, "these guys are making you look like an ass".
George. Who cares? It doesn't matter who brings the ball down the field when we all get the points at the end of the day. And those points are Ron Paul coming to Philly, in our neighborhood and having a huge rally right near Carpenters Hall.

I'm in with these guys for Nov 10 Bro. Get with us. Let them run with it. They';ve done a lot to get the ball rolling and no one wants to exclude you. Not me, and Andy, not Jay, and not Sematary.

You're a great American patriot George. Your fire for freedom, Ron paul and our Constitution burns as hot as mine or anyone else's. We need your talents and your efforts to bring this to fruition and to get our candidate elected in the primaries.
But you've got some kind of ego thing going on Bro and its time to put it down and start helping out with the Nov 10 rally.

Talk to these guys. You're not out....yet. Be kewl, get it together and meld with us.

In peace, freedom and truth,

Dave.

If you need to talk you know my number.

Jeezus. I wish I had a good solution for this... Sounds like the only thing to do is have the entire meetup group break off from him and start anew.
