Rudy's Reading List goes off Friday. Any and all promotional web support appreciated! PM me for details! ///////////////////////// TeaParty 2007 is ramping up. Not only have the pledges passed the 5th of November pledge count nearly 3 weeks early, but the legendary Faneuil Hall has been booked for 3~5 PM, December 16th in Boston for a Ron Paul rally, by the Boston MeetUp and others. Dr. Paul probably can't make it, but his son, Kentucky native, Dr. Rand Paul will likely be in attendance. //////////////////////////////// The Boston Tea Party 2007 is just one half of the Weekend of Liberty. //////////////////////////// The Ron Paul Blimp is now fully pledged to fly by the Ron Paul grassroots supporters. http://www.ronpaulblimp.com/ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6I5zYu541Q The original call was for $350,000 in pledges, pledges right now are over $380,000. ///////////////////////////
I'm not sure if I'll be able to see the YouTube debate tonight. So if I don't get to see it, I expect some Ron Paul updates here
Extended Ron Paul coverage of the debate can be found here http://www.justin.tv/ronpaul2008 Right now, it is live from Ron Paul NY HQ.
Contest winning Campaign Ad for CNN/YouTube debate http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPjTAH8Y_L8 Afaik, all of the other campaigns had professionally produced ads. The Ron Paul Campaign received 85 User produced ads, some better than others. You can see them all here, http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=109B0FE05B03BA46 This one is from a 12 year old. Pretty cute. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZbmDElv1i4 These are really good too http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3z0DrKjbTvg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGgUUtZ0G-0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3dJAAiTimI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SIgmQ74ayuU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dEfqrMvMEJo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gt_eHXZ8qbU

A host of a MSM show requesting an interview on special Youtube video. At least Glenn "gets" how to reach Ron Paul supporters. 2 Full Hours....... 1 Hour Radio, 1 Hour TV. Don't think the campaign will take it though. Beck has called RP supporters domestic terrorists, and has referred to Paul as the "Mayor of Crazytown". It's probably Glenn's loss that one of the most popular candidates in the media won't come on his show. Blowback. /////////////////////////////
UPDATE: Ron Paul will be on CNN Sunday Morning (Dec. 2nd) with Wolf Blitzer. 11-1 p.m ET Will also be on the "The View" (ABC) Dec. 4th, 11:00 AM EST
Long shot Paul pushes individual freedoms http://www.gazetteonline.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20071201/NEWS/712010027/-1/iowacaucus ///////////////////////////// Ron Paul wins Virginia GOP straw poll http://www.dailypress.com/news/local/virginia/dp-va--gop-strawpoll-2001201dec01,0,2281195.story This is surprising because I didn't think there was much support in Virginia. /////////////////////
Update Ron Paul will be on C-span2 on Monday Night 9 PM Eastern Time - 6 PM Pacific Time The broadcast will be from this afternoon's (Dec 1st) town hall meeting in Salem, NH.
Hey Guerilla, what's the deal with December 16th? I heard Ron Paul was having some campaign thing... You should get paid for these updates haha EDIT: Check out: http://youtube.com/watch?v=tScOsUB_LGc Haha, so true...
Dec. 16th is the anniversary of the Boston Tea Party. Trevor Lyman, who helped facilitate the Nov. 5th fund raiser is putting together a "Weekend of Liberty", the 15th and 16th. http://weekendofliberty.com/ Tea Party 07 already has a few thousand more pledges to donate than Nov. 5th did. Based on the last two money bombs, these events typically bring in 2 times the number of pledges, and the day after brings in 5~10% of the money bomb total. http://www.ronpaulgraphs.com/teaparty_vs_nov5_members.html So Dec. 15th is a series of national "Bill of Rights" rallies and Dec. 16th is aiming to beat Dr. Paul's previous records for largest single day online fund raiser, and largest single day GOP fundraiser this cycle. I kept my spare laptop tuned to the RonPaul2008.com website during Nov. 5th, and it was insane, with updates every minute, at times averaging $3000 per update. I lost a lot of productivity that day cabbage patching and doing little victory dances while I worked. I'd encourage all Paul supporters who can afford to donate (even if it is less than $100) on Dec. 16th, to pledge on the Tea Party website, and if you already are not in a MeetUp group (several international ones as well), sign up at http://ronpaul.meetup.com
Americans should be involved in the process, regardless of who their candidate is. I think it speaks volumes about Dr. Paul's campaign by how large his grassroots and fund raising support is, that people are passionate about his platform. The establishment candidates like Romney, Giuliani, Clinton etc all have to buy this kind of support. Hilarious video btw.
