Ron Paul Meetups Descend on Fort Hood


WHEN?
Wednesday, February 20, 2008 at 11:00 AM


Where?
Fort Hood Army Post
Hwy.190 Killeen,Texas Little River Academy
Little River Academy , TX 76554


Who should come?

Everyone who can, should come. This looks to be a HUGE, multi meetup group gathering!


Why?

We all appreciate the men who defend our country, but we want them to know that we want them here, defending us at home, not fighting a bloody interventionist war that will never end.


Details

Some of you may have met Vincent Campos (fastest flag-waver of all time and ardent Paul supporter) He recently returned from Iraq to Fort Hood before leaving the service.

He believes that the troops at Fort Hood would respond more favorably to Ron Paul if we go down there and show them with CROWDS and SIGNS for Ron Paul which are also showing SUPPORT FOR THE TROOPS. His plan is to man the 2 main gates at the noon hour when most of the 30,000 troops leave the post for lunch. They evidently have quite a traffic jam trying to get back on post, so the lanes full of soldiers will be inching past the gates with lots of time to read our messages.

Vincent has set February 20th as the day for this excursion to Fort Hood. He is arranging the details with the post. He asked me to ask all of you who can to SET ASIDE THAT DAY. SEE BELOW FOR ADDED DETAILS. The plan is to combine several central Texas groups and meetup with large numbers. He was in the Austin meetup (largest one there is), and we'll contact several other meetups.

This sounds like a great idea to me. Please be thinking up slogans which link Ron Paul's platform with the troops. We need specific signs that will persuade them!!


OK---here's an update from Vincent: We will meetup at 10:30 at the K-MART PARKING LOT at the corner of
Hwy 190 and Fort Hood St.

I'm sure he will have his flag--he asks that some of us bring flags, also. Make signs ahead of time that are specific to supporting the troops and bringing them home. We will divide into two groups and move to the two main gates at 11:15.

THIS IS SUCH A GOOD CHANCE TO INFLUENCE OUR OWN MILITARY!! The fact that we are taking time off from work to stand there and show support to them is POWERFUL!!! This is EXCITING!!!

saturday the 23rd Ron Paul himself will be there!
