Special Note: This meetup is primarily for Seminole residents (although I will go even though I live in Orange County). Orange County has its own meetup like this. See calendar.

The time has come for restoration of the Republican party. It's early history borne from abolishing slavery to constraining the size of government has been not only tarnished, but hijacked. Time to reclaim what was stolen from us. This is THE meeting for Republican activists. Most of the time 50 or so people show up. We can easily overwhelm them with an inspiring message.

If you are ready to fight the good fight, come on along. If you would prefer to sit at home and just complain, know that you are wasting your time and ours. That's right. I'm calling everyone out. We call ourselves a rEVOLution, but too many of us are not willing to give even one hour a month to the cause.

Meetings usually run a little over an hour. Dress is very casual. I normally wear a shirt with a collar and slacks. You can come as you are and will NOT be treated rudely. The local party regulars have been favorably impressed by our presence in previous months.

The real goal of attending these meetings is to gain voting status. This happens when you come to 2 successive meetings. Then commit to coming to once a month meetings. Once this happens we can affect real change. If we ever want to return Constitutional government to the USA, I can think of no finer place to start.

Orlando Welcomes Ron Paul to the Presidency IV Debate. We are finalizing the particulars of the biggest GRASSROOTS rally held in honor of Dr. Paul. Sunday afternoon Oct. 21, all Ron Paul Supporters in the state of Florida are invited to come to Orlando and celebrate the next chapter of the REVOLUTION.

Come one, come all. We've all worked hard for the man that has taken on the mantle of Protector of our great Country. Now it's time to kick up our feet and DANCE to a NEW SONG. A song we, the Florida Meetup groups, will write and sing with GUSTO!

Location has been settled and secured. This will be the Official Unofficial Rally. We fully hope and expect that the good Doctor will make a house call, i.e. make a personal appearance before the assemble throng of supporters.

But this rally is for YOU! You did the work. You made the signs. You waved the signs. You handed out the literature. You made the telephone calls. You do get the picture, DON'T YOU??

We're going to have rock bands. We're going to have the keys to the city (well at least some of it;-) This is an all day and into the night celebration. We be JAMMIN' so leave your stuffed shirt at home. Bring the family, bring your friends this will be huge.

Then when night falls, we'll kick back and watch our CHAMPION... KICK THE..er..STUFFING out of Judy McRomney! Not on a little TV. We're talking BIG SCREENS for a BIG SCREAM!!!
Of course an extravaganza of this type won't be cheap. We're asking a $10 a head donation. You'll receive a coupon good for one free drink to get you 'in the mood.' And sure, we know that some have been giving all they can to the campaign. Bless you. If you can't honestly swing it, don't worry. We love you and would be hurt if you don't come because a measly 10 clams is a problem. So the rest of you guys...open it up once more for a brother or sister in need. 'Nuff said.

And now for the best part. After the expenses are covered, all profits will not go to the Orlando Meetup. Nor will it go to the Ron Paul 2008 National campaign. It's going to stay right here in FLORIDA and fund the Real Grassroots Meetup Revolution. You heard right. We will be dividing this treasure between all FLORIDA RON PAUL MEETUPS. Big or small. 10 members or 100 members. All have worked their hearts out. All will share in the glory. All will share in the proceeds.

As was mentioned earlier, some details remain to be finalized. But this has been a while in the making. We the grassroots are doing THIS ONE on our own. Let's show the big boys at National, that herding cats CAN BE DONE! Maybe then they will understand that WE MEAN TO WIN FLORIDA FOR OUR CHAMPION OF THE CONSTITUTION, DR. RON PAUL.

Name of the venue is One Eyed Jacks. This fashionable bar has an adjoining restaurant and plenty of outside tables too. Bands are being signed. Multiple front projector 7 foot screens assure us great viewing. Other entertainment is being lined up. Stay tuned.

Want to get out and stretch your legs? There is plenty to do with beautiful Lake Eola Park just one block away. It's majestic fountain located in the middle of a huge lake offers paddle Swan Boat rides.


Paulapalooza will be held at:

This is a group that is fighting illegal immigration.

Ron Paul is quite clear on this: enforce our present immigration laws, no anchor babies, and no illegal use of our welfare system.

For more info about this check out: www.flimen.org

VERY important that we make a stand and have a big presence here.

Last Saturday's sign wave was a huge success. People actually turned their cars around and came back to talk to us. The Orlando Weekly was out taking pictures for a big article on us. Many, many new Ron Paul Patriots made it to their FIRST organized event.

We're now going to build on that upward success. We must realize that mass events like sign waves and literature hand-outs are the way to get RP message out. Don't think that some magical strategy will appear. Hard work is the only thing that will win this election. Remember the sacrifice that others are making for freedom. Add your voice (and body) to this monumental effort.

Today's location is a huge one. 17/92 and SR 436 (Semoran Blvd.) We must have all available people to this. Don't think that this work is for someone else. It is for you to show that you are Ron Paul. We've got great looking banners. Great looking signs.

We're going to start the event at HIGH NOON on Saturday! 2 hours long. No you don't have to stay the whole 2 hours. But let's get started on time.

Now wouldn't you like to see that on the front page of a newspaper or lead story on the local TV news? We came close to this number a month ago. In fact the picture on our homepage is from that event.

Announcing ORLANDO MEGA MARCH RALLY/WALK FOR RON PAUL. This coming Saturday, October 6 at 10 am, all Ron Paul Patriots from Central Florida are asked to line up along Colonial Avenue commencing at Mills 17/92 to The Fashion Square Mall. We want to blanket Orlando's busiest travel artery with the message of freedom. Dr. Ron Paul (Champion of the Constitution) will be proud.

We are also going to be joined by certain media types. Can't disclose who they are, but please dress appropriately. You might be in pictures, baby! Mums the word, 'till Saturday.

Bring any signs that you may have. Make some up if you like. Keep them ON TOPIC OF RON PAUL FOR PRESIDENT! If you're not the creative type, don't worry, we'll have plenty of signs available.

Weather is starting to cool down. Don't miss this opportunity! There is also a strong rumor that George Washington will be in attendance. He's really old you know, and doesn't get out too often;-)

Park your cars in the Fashion Square Mall parking lot nearest Colonial. Please folks, we have a big opportunity here. Media has confirmed they'll cover it. Do what ever you have to do to be there. RSVP to this event ASAP. Contact your friends to come along too. We are completely stocked with literature, bumper stickers, and DVD's. So even people that don't know a lot about RP will come away happy.

Tee-shirts will also be available for a small donation.

We simply must attend these meetings. This accomplishes two things. First, we show the extent of RP's support within the party. Second if we continue to attend, we'll get to vote in these meetings and determine the direction of the party. Many other RP meetups are also attending their local county party meetings.

Please, please come to these. Fun to debate with other Republicans about RP, too!

Gabby and Andrew are our newest Precinct Captains (just elected last month). Time to start packing the executive committee with Ron Paul Republicans!

Greetings, all my fellow Ron Paul Patriots! Your hard work out on the streets waving signs, on the phone making calls, and in your day to day handing out slim-jims, has not gone un-noticed.

The Ron Paul National Campaign is proud to announce the appointment of Anita Andrews as Field Organizer/Regional Coordinator. Ms. Andrews brings experience managing 30 different campaigns with a win ratio of 92 percent.

Florida Meetup members will have a unique opportunity to receive specialized training by Ms Andrews on Saturday, September 8, 2007 beginning at 9am. This will be an intensive all day event that will help Dr. Paul win the 2008 Republican Nomination.

Heretofore this type of training occurs only at very serious and well funded campaigns for professional workers. In recognition of the outstanding efforts by the Ron Paul Volunteers in Florida, this training will be offered at no charge to participants.

We do ask that you only attend this event if you are serious about working/volunteering on the campaign. Please realize that Ms. Andrews has many states to train. Florida's primary is fast approaching on January 29, 2008. It is imperative that all Florida Ron Paul volunteers sacrifice and make whatever arrangements are necessary to assure their attendance.

Some limited lodging may be available through Orlando volunteers willing to open their homes. Otherwise hotels are available to those needing over night accommodations.

She has just finished training the Chicago/Southern Illinois group. Comments from participants were very favorable. Copied below are some from their event calendar:

"This was a terrific experience, Anita was right on target."

"Just what we needed. Anita seems to have the experience in campaign organization that we need to help Dr. Paul win in Illinois.

"I think that when the campaign sends us a speaker we should try to ensure that we are all there to hear the campaign message. "

"I am happy to serve the Ron Paul community and spread the freedom message. With Anita's expert help I know we can take this primary."

"Great event. Lots of excellent information on how to proceed from here. We will need to focus a lot more on organization and it will pay off in February."

"Excellent. Could hardly have happened too soon. Anita was informative and eye opening, while confirming feelings as to what has been going well and poorly in the movement with her experience. Among the distractions in the meeting, the fact that Anita reminded me of a younger Mary McDonnell character giving us the situation straight was the least troublesome."

"EXCELLENT information provided by Anita. THANK YOU for giving us guidance and support, and most of all for acknowledging that WE CAN make a difference! "

"Excellent class on campaigning. Everything Anita said made sense...and I realize we have been doing many things incorrectly, which we can easily change. Remember folks, we are under non-disclosure for everything we heard in that class...but we'll need to spread the word (with non-disclosure statements) to those who couldn't attend."


Location should be confirmed by Monday, but this event will happen in Orlando September 8th. It is imperative that you respond now and help us get a good head count.

This is a hands on workshop. Coming out of this you will have more ideas and a plan to implement them.

Dress is casual. We will have breaks with snacks, but you will be responsible for lunch.

RSVP below. Please note that we are asking you to both RSVP to the normal Meetup page AS WELL AS THIS PAGE: http://ronpaul4president.org/interested.html

This way your meetup organizer can see who is coming as well as providing us additional contact information. You will be notified through the second sign-up page as to the exact location once confirmed. So please, by all means click on the second hyper-link.


The Florida Ron Paul Campaign is going to set the benchmark for all other states to follow. We want you to be part of that effort. Thanks for ALL your support--Go Ron Paul!

For Our Glorious Ron Paul REVOLUTION!
