There were two "Paul" events I attended this day: the We Are the Future Rally at the Sun Dome and a Whiskey Joe's RP gathering. I'm not sure I could have asked for a more liberty-filled day, as I was able to network and meet many delegates, alternate delegates, and guests who truly believe in freedom.We left Saddlebrook around 11am and headed to the USF Campus for the rally at the Sun Dome. When we arrived there, they had a VIP area for delegates and alternate delegates in one of the suite areas that then lead to floor seating. We were all greeted with a swag bag and directed toward an area with a simple buffet. The program had already started with Doug Weed MCing the event. Speakers included Lew Rockwell, Barry Goldwater Jr., Justin Amash, Jack Hunter, etc. to name a few. It was wonderful to spend a day surrounded by welcoming, open-minded people, who were all brought together because of one man's message. Here is the full speech Ron Paul gave at the rally. It was long, truthful, and inspiring.
After this event, we were supposed to all load onto a bus and head to the RNC Welcome Event, however organizers were told that buses arriving from the Sun Dome event would not have been pre-screened for security purposes and such, so we would not be able to attend unless we boarded buses from the hotel. So instead of attending the RNC Welcome Event, which you can hear about from another CD 3 delegate (Candy) and alternate delegate (Crystal), I went to Whiskey Joe's.
At Whiskey Joe's, we stood in a long line to get a picture opportunity with Ron Paul. I was lucky enough to hug him, and thankfully had a wonderful photographer with my phone, otherwise this picture would have never been taken! We then mixed and mingled with other delegates and delegate alternates from all across the US, and I am so glad to have met so many amazing individuals.
For peace, love, and liberty.
