Ron Paul Walk Success
In just one of 29 simlutaneous walks in 29 different states around the USA today, 26 August 2007, 72 Ron Paul supporters walked 10 miles from Hollywood to Beverly Hills to demonstrate support for Ron Paul’s 2008 presidential campaign and to show the world that Ron Paul supporters are, indeed, a force to be reckoned with. The event was in celebration of Dr Paul’s 73rd birthday!
To give you further idea of the dedication of Ron Paul supporters, the walk in Georgia today was TWENTY SEVEN MILES! And there was a march in the blistering heat in Phoenix which was called by the people there the Walk Through Hell for Ron Paul!
Here are some pictures and videos of the incredibly awesome, freedom loving, patriotic Ron Paul supporters who came out to walk walk walk for 6 hours.
Nobody walks in LA? Ron Paul supporters do!!
Here I am with some supporters in the background across the street. This was in Hollywood before we started walking.
just a few of the 72…
many people showed support as we walked through Hollywood, Melrose, West LA and into Beverly Hills, especially strong support (measured largely by honking horns) was in Beverly Hills! Some people had the following question and so we gave out many, many flyers and such..
A security guard we passed wanted to know who Ron Paul was so one of us told him and handed him a flyer…
Ron Paul supporters of all ages were on hand…
72 people walking down the street, chanting in rythym and with a megaphone (except when GARKO was singing “America the Beautiful” is a lot of presence for Ron Paul!
March Across America For Ron Paul…
and oh, yes, we had balloons…
One of the stars of the day.. this guy glided in and out of traffic giving people in cars flyers about Ron Paul and holding this sign. Almost surrealistic how awesome this was!
and you can see him in action in this video…

and here is his initial report on the day…
It was the best Ron Paul support activity in LA to date. We had 72 people, at least 60% of the people were new and all were enthusiastic and full of love for Ron Paul, Freedom and the Constitution. We gave out thousands and thousands of pieces of literature and got lots and lots of honks and pedestrians and motorists alike telling us they support Ron Paul. It was amazing how many people already know and love Ron. We were blessed with cool, cloudy weather all day and even a light sprinkle to make us feel good. We chanted for Ron and Freedom the whole way. As we got to Beverly Hills, a radio station that I know called me and asked me if I could fill in for a host…so they put me on the air right then and there and we broadcast our walk and rally live! We passed the cell phone around and people told the listeners why they love Ron Paul. We got the Freedom Message out in person and remotely as well! Thank you all for attending! I find it hard to write down eloquently what a great day it was.

And a couple more videos…
Here are some initial reports from other cities…
About the walk, all I can say is wow, freakin’ wow! What a fantastic effort! I’m still hearing the shouts of “Ron Paul” echoing through the caverns of downtown. Yeah, our route took a few twists and turns, but it was all for the better. Watching you hand out lit with kids in tow was nothing more than inspiring.
We had 52 people at the event out of 58 RSVP’s! The percentage was fantastic, if not downright unheard of. What impressed me the most were meeting all the new members who took the time out of a Sunday afternoon on the week before Labor Day. Braving the heat, a couple of blistered bunyons, and representing the Paul Campign with professionalism and fire that may very well be the envy of this event. Okay, Chicago will probably blow us out of the water, because they have nine times the population. Still, I can’t even begin to convey the pride I had for each one of you.
I’m not sure of my footage, but with everyone’s videotaping, I think there’s some awesome material for YouTube and the like.
BTW, I was told that the local FOX affiliate shot some footage after we disbanded. I don’t know if they we’re picking up on the Bearcat scanner about a group of rabid Ron Paul supporters marching through downtown, or if they just noticed us at the conclusion of that support our troops event downtown. Doubt they’ll show any of it, but keep your VCR’s handy for their evening news.
Hope this email made sense. I’m too hot, sweaty, and tired to proof it.
