"Learn what Ron Paul stands for."

Larry (May 10, 2008)

"The CFR news media isn't going to word out. It's up to us."

Kurt Hyde (May 9, 2008)

"There is power in NUMBERS! we have to get the word out, and the way to do that is to "meetup" and think of different things that will make a difference..."

Micah Sanders (May 8, 2008)

Dan (Apr 27, 2008)

"Are you endorsed by the Ron Paul campaign?"

Bill Kopecki (Feb 11, 2008)

"Lots of "odd" voices- need to keep focus on agenda of local involvement in securing opportunities to impact reduction of size of govt. at the community level. Suggest that organizers join the chat that continues on this and related topics on www.ronpaulradio.com "

"This was a worthwhile activity that brought the campaign message to multiple small business owners (a key constituency of ours). Pity that we didn't do it a month ago, but it is something that should be remembered for future campaigns. "

Bill Tilford (Jan 30, 2008)

"We all seem to have a good understanding of what's at stake in this election - this is our last chance to take back America!"

marzena (Dec 29, 2007)

"Great Meetup group! Keep it up!"

JOHN UHLICH (Dec 17, 2007)

"I think a lot of the people of Chicago have been taking notice of Ron Paul and the passion we supporters have for him. No other candidate is on the ground as much as we are here in Chicago and my hometown of San Diego, and that is getting some notice. Even though our signs and banners may only last 1-3 days, if placed properly, they will score 1000's of hits before their demise. Those numbers do add up and I believe that we are winning the battle outside of the internet too. I think it's interesting that a bunch of internet guru's are suddenly becoming expert sign and banner makers and I have been able to exercise my covert operations training to good use in deploying the signs since I guess you could get arrested by some Dumb-ass cop that didn't like Ron Paul. Some people ask me if I work for Ron Paul for "Free", and I of course say "YES" with emphasis, and they say "Isn't that kind of Dumb?" Well I just realized that if you put the two together: "Free" and "Dumb" makes "Freedom"! And that IS what I'm working for! GO RON PAUL GO Dr NO "

Jim Lundberg (Dec 17, 2007)

"WOOOOT!!!!!!!!!!!"

Joe H (Dec 17, 2007)

"left right left, left right left, Ron Paul! Ron Paul!, left right left, left right left!"

krynnotaur (Nov 29, 2007)

"Great people; hope for America !"

10thzodiac (Nov 15, 2007)

"I had lots of fun and learned a lot!"

Jayson (Nov 12, 2007)

"See phone tree comment above -- this is much needed to increase activism -- we have to have more personal interaction with volunteers, and then in turn with voters, and getting people registered to vote... "

Liberty For ALL! (Nov 7, 2007)

"Love to be a part of it, but I think next time I'll ask for someones phone #. lol. I met the group at the Daley Center for the Critical Mass bike ride but they didn't have any banners, signs or stickers to put on my bike. That would've really helped. Maybe I expected Ron Paul signs to be plentiful in our time of need. Now how do I get signs for my front yard and my block? "

Andrew Welther (Nov 4, 2007)

"Great energetic group!"

Roman Brzozowski (Oct 30, 2007)

"This meetup group was a fun, energized and intelligent group to be with."

Anthony (Oct 30, 2007)

"Unstoppable."

Brian Markey (Oct 30, 2007)

"Just joined recently. It's great!"

Peter O'Leary (Oct 27, 2007)

"I never saw myself actually participating in a political campaign. Ron Paul and this Meetup group changed that."

Dave W (Oct 27, 2007)

"Just keep me posted, and I'll come through when I can!"

Rob Walker (Oct 27, 2007)

"Greater Chicago is a great group with great people!!"

Heather (Oct 15, 2007)

"always a pleasure"

Kate (Aug 10, 2007)

"Great group of people."

Bill Jr. (Jun 20, 2007)

"I saw one guy with a sign and some flyers. I think we should promote the videos of Ron Paul on google and you tube. These are what sparked my enthusiasm. For example, a sign that simply says "Google - Video - Ron Paul". Bring sanity back to our political system!"

Andrew Lutze (Jun 18, 2007)

"Look forward to spreading the word and gathering support for Ron Paul!"

Katherine (Jun 8, 2007)

"go Ron Paul!"

We are dedicated to spreading his message of individual liberty, small government and non-interventionist foreign policy throughout Chicagoland. Please join us!
