Ron Paul's Rally for the Republic schedule announced
Here it is, finally: The schedule for the Rally for the Republic get-together on Tuesday, September 2 in Minneapolis:

12:40 - National Anthem: Matt Colvin
12:50 - Invocation: Barb Davis White
12:55 - Howard Phillips
1:10 - Doug Wead
1:30 - Tom Woods
1:50 - Grover Norquist
2:10 - Lew Rockwell
2:30 - Bill Kauffman
2:50 - Special Guest
3:10 - Bruce Fein
3:35 - Jesse Ventura

(I've gone ahead and highlighted a few of the interesting names in the program.)
Ticket sales are not going as well as I thought they would. As of just now, the Rally at the 20,000-seat capacity Target Center has sold 9,526 tickets. That's not exactly a sell-out...

Carlson's mother is the heir to the Swanson food fortune. So Tucker will probably be there serving Swanson TV dinners to all attendees.

When I skimmed it over at first I thought to myself, isn't Barry Goldwater dead?
Also on the funny note, not to attack Ron Paul, but Aimee Allen is best known for a song entitled "Cooties." That's rich.

One guy that you missed is Rick Ellis, who it is claimed is a top Frank Sinatra impersonator. Why would anybody want a Frank Sinatra impersonator at their event?

Stig,
Obviously, Ron Paul is doing it _his way_.
But he doesn't dance (so don't ask him.)

I've got an idea for the organizers. They should let you in for free and charge you to get out.

Barry Goldwater has passed away. But Barry Goldwater Jr. is still alive. And that's who they mean.
Posted by: P.M. Jaworski | 2008-08-25 1:22:14 PM
Ventura is a 9/11 Truther - but then so will be half the audience. Bear that in mind.
Posted by: Zebulon Pike | 2008-08-25 1:24:28 PM
I kind of figured as much. I wasn't serious.

"Barry Goldwater has passed away. But Barry Goldwater Jr. is still alive. And that's who they mean."
I was kind of hoping for Zombie Goldwater.

Proof you don't want a Frank Sinatra impersonator at your function.

What an incredible rally!
Great meeting so many patriots for liberty, patriots for America and our constitution.
The revolution has begun and the best is yet to come!
GO RON PAUL!

I think if I had the choice I'd prefer being waterboarded.
