Help the Libertarian Party Reach Out to 13,000 Ron Paul for President Activists in Tampa, Florida August 24-26

The 3 days before the Republican Presidential Convention begins, over 13,000 Ron Paul Activists Are Showing Up to Celebrate the Mission & Message of Dr. Ron Paul: Liberty!

A weekend of liberty, activism, speakers, music and fun!

As the Ron Paul for President campaign finishes up just two weeks from now, Ron Paul Organizers, Activists and Supporters, working with the Libertarian Party, will sponsor a major celebration in his honor – and for the future of liberty. This will be an amazing event and a great opportunity for the LP.

Libertarian Presidential candidate Gov. Gary Johnson is fast becoming the obvious choice for president in 2012 for those who have so valiantly supported Ron Paul and who now realize that, barring a miracle, Ron Paul’s 2012 bid for the presidency will soon end.

The Republican Party Establishment stubbornly refuses to give Dr. Paul a speaking slot on the main floor of the GOP convention that begins August 27th in Tampa, Florida. Rather, they want all their focus on handing the Republican nomination to Big Government Mitt Romney and his Big Government running mate, Paul Ryan.

Ron Paul supporters will be looking for a presidential candidate – and a political party – that represents them. Good News: Even IF they chose to stay in the GOP, they can still join the LP and support Libertarian candidates.

Over 13,000 of them will be at the Paul Festival, a weekend extravaganza of liberty activism, music and fun happening right before the GOP convention begins.

The Libertarian Party will be there, and because of the generous donations of our members who want us to play a big part in this event, we will also be a proud sponsor of the Paul Festival this year.

Libertarian Presidential candidate Gov. Gary Johnson will speak  Saturday, August 25th (Prime Time!)Libertarian Party National Chair, Geoffrey Neale will speak     Friday August 24th  late afternoon Libertarian Vice Presidential candidate Judge Jim Gray will speak Sunday evening, August 26th  Libertarian Party Executive Director Carla Howell will speak  Sunday evening, August 26th (times are subject to change)

Festivities start Friday 1:00 P.M. August 24th and end after the last band plays on Sunday evening, August 26th in Tampa, Florida. The Republican national convention begins the following day on Monday, August 27th. All events are indoors to protect against heat and bad weather.

The national and Florida Libertarian parties (and any other affiliates or members who want to join us) will have a huge presence at this event. We’ll have a big booth, lots of volunteers and key Libertarian speaker will be on the main stage.

In addition, there’s a full line-up of fascinating liberty speakers speaking on a variety of topics Friday afternoon, Saturday afternoon, and Sunday morning and evening. Great bands will perform throughout the weekend.

More Cities (From The Gary Johnson For President Campaign)

Friends, 1,903 great supporters did it. That’s how many people – from all across the country – contributed to make our 15% Money Bomb a success. Some gave $5, and some gave $500 or even more. Every dollar helped, and we hit our goal of $150,000.  If you are one of those 1,903, thank you very much! If you didn’t have a chance to participate, well….We’re not finished yet. Not by a long shot. The election is fewer than 100 days away. And in a few short weeks, the Commission on Presidential Debates will decide whether or not to let me be on the national stage with Barack Obama and Mitt Romney.  We have much to do in those few short weeks. We have to finalize our first radio advertising buys. I have many campaign appearances to make. In fact, I will be in Washington, Alaska, Oregon, Nevada and Idaho in just the next seven days. My running mate, VP nominee Judge Jim Gray, is departing Saturday to campaign in Ohio, Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska and Colorado. And keep an eye out – we have official Gary Johnson 2012 campaign vans hitting the roads all over the country right now. NONE of this happens without funding. The response to our 15% Money Bomb was amazing. We set a goal, and we achieved it. Now, we must take that momentum and keep it growing. We must raise another $250,000 over the next two weeks, and to do that, we’re launching anotherMoney Bomb right now. We’re calling this Money Bomb “More Ads in More Cities.” It’s simple. With your contributions over the next two weeks, we will be able to take our message to more media markets, more cities – and more voters.As little as $15 will buy a radio spot in a key state. Some places, they obviously cost more. But whatever you choose to contribute, you can be assured that it will have a real impact on how far we can spread our message of liberty, non-intervention and economic freedom. $250,000 in the next two weeks. That is our goal, and frankly, we MUST achieve it. Please go to www.garyjohnson2012.com today and help us do so. As I travel the country, it is more and more clear each day that we are poised to make history. Voters are ready for a real choice in November, and it is up to us – you and me – to give them that choice. Your support is truly gratifying. We ARE making history, and America is taking notice. The next several weeks are going to be exciting, challenging – and crucial to the future of this great nation. Thank You, Governor Gary Johnson P.S.  A couple of days ago, we reached 1 MILLION followers on the social media site Google+. Our message is spreading – keep up the good work!  Join us on Facebook    Follow us on Twitter    Make A Contribution
