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.

Last call to get LP in on Tampa Ron Paul festivals. Need your help now! (From LP.Org)

Dear fellow Libertarian, Thanks to those of you who responded to our email on Tuesday and donated a total of $5,870 to fund Libertarian Party sponsorship and participation in the Ron Paul festivals in Tampa this August. This helps tremendously. To have a strong presence and reach the tens of thousands of Ron Paul supporters – and potential LP members – who will be at these events, we need more. When the GOP convention is over, Ron Paul supporters have a choice. They can quit and not stay active at all. A liberty activist lost. They can be cajoled into believing they should support Big Government Republican Mitt Romney or Big Government Democrat Barack Obama – both of whom, they’re told, are the “lesser of two evils.” (Nice racket, wouldn’t you say?) Or they can choose to join the Libertarian Party. And support Libertarians Gov. Gary Johnson and Judge Jim Gray. And Libertarians up and down the ticket. To attract – and bring back - these true Ron Paul, liberty supporters to the Libertarian Party we must act today. We need LP advertisements, banners and promotional materials at booths, on stage, and everywhere we can get them at these Ron Paul festivals. We need to show Ron Paul supporters that, should he not win the GOP nomination, the Libertarian Party is their natural home. And that our Libertarian candidates will continue the fight for liberty right through the General Election in November. We need them to understand that while Ron Paul supporters fight for liberty inside the GOP establishment, the Libertarian Party applies pressure from the outside. We’re the competitive threat that helps make their success possible. Help us get this message to every Ron Paul supporter before they quit – or worse, defect to one of the two old establishment parties. There will be lots of media coverage of these events in Tampa. The Libertarian Party needs to be there. Will you help? Time is of the essence. We must commit today or tomorrow to our participation in these events, or our opportunity for a sponsorship will be lost. We need your donation today. Would you please make your most generous donation right now? We need one $5,000 donor. Will you be this person? We have two $1,000 donors. We need three more. Could you please help today? We have three $250 donors. We need ten more. Will you be one? We have twelve $125 donors. We need the equivalent of thirty more to put us over the top. Will you be one of 30 more $125 donors? Every donation of every size will help. Please donate now -- and write “Tampa Ron Paul events” in the “Comment” box at the bottom of the form. Thank you! Yours in liberty, Carla Howell Executive Director National Libertarian Party
