WHEN:
Tuesday - October 9, 2007

TIME:
4:00pm - 6:30pm
(early arrivals welcome)

WHERE:
U.S. 41 Bypass South (Tamiami Trail) & Center Rd.
Venice, Florida 34293

DETAILS:
Come early, come late, stay a minute or stay a couple of hours!

This is a busy intersection with a long red light. This means lots & lots of people will see Ron Paul's message delivered by YOU! We'll have lots of literature to pass out, lots of signs and banners to wave, and lots of enthusiasm. It 's a thrill to have folks honk their horns and be a part of the synergy created between us and the passing traffic. There's no feeling like seeing other Ron Paul Patriots give us their thumbs up, stop their cars and join us in waving some signs, guaranteed!

Freedom & Liberty are contagious.


Can we top the September 25th total of 21 Ron Paul Supporters waving signs in Venice?
YES WE CAN!!
His message is reaching millions and we just have to tell a few folks in Venice.


Bring your signs and we'll also have some signs, t-shirts available, Ron Paul accessories and literature.

Lets spread Ron Paul's message. It would be great to have some home made signs! Perhaps on white board in red & blue colors. Some possible ideas:

We the People
Hope for America - Ron Paul
No Patriot Act
Never Raised Taxes
Vote Ron Paul for Liberty - Republic - Bill of Rights
Ron Paul Patriots
Let Freedom Ring - Ron Paul
Ron Paul for President 2008
Had enough of DC yet?
Who ya gonna' call? Ron Paul
Freedom & Liberty

IMPORTANT!!
Bring your Flags - Bring your Flags - Bring your Flags
Bring em' all BIG or small!!

Fly Old Glory!

We are going to try a new location:

Atlanta Bread Company
5407 University Parkway
University Park, FL 34201

This location should be larger and have internet access.

Please write down your ideas and bring them to the meeting.

We are creating different teams to coordinate our efforts.

I expect our group to grow rapidly over the next few months
so we need to make sure our infrastructure is in place.

I look forward to seeing everyone!

Dear Curt,

I've received word that several dozen Meetup groups are
planning a national "Paint the Town Ron" event on the weekend
of September 29th. The goal is to make it into the Monday (Oct
1) news cycle. With enough support, we should be able to
receive attention from the national news.

Several groups are also planning to make Youtube videos to
document their activity. The organizer of the event, Chris
Holley, is hosting a competition to see which group has the
biggest turnout and the best video.

Would your group like to participate? If so, please contact Chris Holley at (901) 598-4835 or
chrisholley1975@gmail.com. Be sure to include your name,
meetup group, and contact information if you email or leave a
voicemail.

Chris will provide the following information:
1) How to get the all required materials and how to get them
CHEAPLY!!

2) Detailed steps on every part of the process

3) Different ideas on how and where to hang banners

4) Tips for doing follow ups after the event to increase
membership

5) Press releases how to make them or where to download pre-
made ones for the event.

A dedicated website will be located at www.paintthetownron.com
next week. Until then, please see this article for information
and example videos:
http://www.chrisbrunner.com/2007/08/26/ron-paul-fans-plan-national-%e2%80%9cpaint-the-town-ron%e2%80%9d-event/

Let's take this to national level! If just half of the 700
Meetups participate, there is NO way the Media can ignore us
and we will show them that we have taken from the internet to
the streets and there will be NO STOPPING US!

Thanks,
Lauren Havens

27 September, Thursday 7 PM (6:30 PM social period) - Executive Committee of the Republican Party of Sarasota County (REC) meeting at the Rivers Edge Community Church, corner of Beneva Road and Bee Ridge Road, Sarasota, FL. The church is caddy corner to the Walgreen's where we use to hold sign waiving. This is not a meeting where one of us will be giving a presentation like the Manatee county REC this week. It will be a chance to introduce ourselves and start getting involved with the REC for Sarasota county. Like the Manatee county event most people will wear a dress shirt and slacks. GO RON PAUL.

I have gotten an email inviting us to give a 3 minute presentation on Ron Paul. We have to show up in large numbers. I have heard that there are around 50 people who come to this event. What a statement if we could bring the same number or even out number them.

I will be the one talking. I will wear a suit with a Ron Paul button. Most people in the group will dress in collar shirts with a Ron Paul button. If you need a button, email me or come early to get one.

For those who do not know, the Chairman and Vice Chairman of Sarasota County came to our sign wavings two different weeks to talk to us. The Republican Party is shrinking and needs any life support that they can get. The Republican Leadership has turned its back on the Constitution, and the Republican Base knows this. We hope by attending this event that we can influence some of this base. But we must be polite and professional. This is a great step in making sure that Ron Paul is the NEXT President of the United States.

Thank you,

Curt Schultz


Here is the email:

Mr. Curt Schultz
Local Manager
Ron Paul for President Campaign

Dear Curt,

Ms Kathleen King, County Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Republican Party of Manatee County, Florida, has commissioned me to offer representatives of the candidates seeking the Republican nomination for president the opportunity to address our September 24th meeting at the Manatee Woman?s Club at 7PM at 1705 Manatee Ave. West, Bradenton to advise why their candidate should be our Republican party?s 2008 presidential nominee.

Do you have a representative who could make a three minute talk for Ron Paul at this meeting? After the talks, the meeting will be temporarily adjourned so that those present can visit tables set up around the room by the various candidates? representatives to get literature and to sign up should they wish. If you do not have a representative present, we will ask one of our members to speak for your candidate, drawing on your candidate?s press releases.

On August 2, 2007, we made a similar request to Mr. Jesse Benton of the Ron Paul for President campaign but to date have not heard back from him.

In October, representatives from the county committees of all the Florida counties will be going to Tallahassee to hear the actual candidates. Those who sign up at our meeting can go to Tallahassee to campaign for their candidate.

Please send me 50 pieces of your candidate?s literature to place on your candidate?s table at the meeting..

Sincerely yours,

William B. ?Bill? Grant
For County Chairman Kathleen King

It just keeps getting better!!!
Monday September 17, 2007 Ron Paul will be at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts for the Values Voter Conference Debate at 7:45pm. From 4pm - 6pm we will be holding a VIP fundraising event at the River House 2 blocks from the theater. Minimum contribution to attend the VIP fundraiser will be $500 (those that can afford more are encouraged to contribute more). PLEASE HELP US SPREAD THIS WORD!!! We'd like to see South Florida raise at least $50,000 for Dr. Paul. Raising these funds are absolutely CRITICAL to keep Dr. Paul on par and in step to compete with Rudy McRomney in the coming months. Ron needs your help. The campaign will be supplying us with a promotional code that you will be able to use on the ronpaul2008.com website to register for this event. Please do you best to forward this email aggressively as if the future of this country depends on it. Because it does!!

Free Rally for Ron Paul Supporters starting at 6pm.
Immediately after the fundraiser at 6pm, we are asking that folks congregate in front of the Broward center on the river. We will have a 175ft barge on the water with an absolutely huge RON PAUL 2008 sign hanging from the boom (you can't miss it!!)... We'd like to see several hundred Ron Paul supporters at this event! At 7:30, we will make out way over to Metro Cafe Metro Cafe, 300 Southwest 1st Avenue, Las Olas Riverfront just two blocks from the Broward Performing Arts Center where the debate will be simulcast from 7:45pm - 9:00pm. Metro Cafe will roll out the Red Carpet for Ron Paul fans providing a Big Screen TV and patch the debate through the sound system outside on their 6,000 square foot patio. After the debate is finished, we are working on scheduling what time Ron will come by to address the crowd and meet the supporters of South Florida.

Please come out early so we can have a strong showing at the Performing Arts Center. And spread the word asking folks to dig deep for a successful VIP fundraiser. We'd like to see a minumum of 75 people in attendance at the VIP fundraiser from 4p - 6p.
Stay tuned later today when we will post the Promotional code for you to RSVP for the VIP Fundraiser.
