Ron Paul Pub Crawl

forever4now · 10-23-2007, 07:58 AM

Imagine 30 Ron Paul supporters wearing Ron Paul t-shirts and carrying Ron Paul signs walking in to a bar on a busy night. Do you not think that would get some attention? Then imagine moving to the next bar and the next, walking with the signs on the streets in between.

Why do it?

It would be fun, so it should be easy to get good participation.
In only a couple of hours, you would spread the message to probably 10 times the number of people you have in your group.
Because of all the business you brought them, the bar owners might become Ron Paul supporters and hang up Ron Paul posters and/or talk about him with other patrons.
It would be a good opportunity to talk to the bar staff about the Tax Free Tips Act.
If other people see you are having fun campaigning for Ron Paul, they might want to join your meetup group to get involved.

This could also be done at the international level, to spread the message abroad. And if the international pub crawls were synchronized with the Nationwide Rally schedule in the US, we would essentially be having "Global" Ron Paul Rallies...and "Global" Ron Paul Rally videos! Cool, no?

This was done at the Nashville rally. Be nice to see a nation-wide one.

Love a good pub crawl. A little worried about how well some of our participants (not me) may represent Dr. Paul after the second or third bar though. Can see a major PR disaster when footage gets out of simultaneous, nationwide bar brawls caused by those drunk Ron Paul guys who wouldn't stop talking politics during the final game of the World Series. How did that go in Nashville, by the way?
And be sure to hand out lots of literature. You know how some people (not me) tend to forget things they heard (and did and where they put their pants) at the night before at a bar.
What I'm saying is, Yes, let's definitely do this! When?

Boston and New York would be good.

I can see the critics now: The pub crawl idea is going to be the end of the world once the media connects Ron Paul to drunks.

Actually scheduled one for our San Antonio Meetup group earlier today for 11/16. Calling it a Riverwalk Rally.
