Hi everyone. I know this is kind of short notice and yes, it may be a bad idea...but it's an idea nonetheless!
What would everyone think of writing in to the Ron Paul campaign website to see if he would speak at the Sturgis motorcycle rally next month? What better crowd for a message of less government and more freedom?
It's just a thought. I've suggested it to the campaign. It's an event that draws hundreds of thousands of bikers and if Rudy can speak to the NASCAR crowd, why not Dr. Paul to a bigger crowd?

I sent the idea of appealing to the NASCAR fans to the National RP Campaign before the Omaha RP Meetup Group formed. NASCAR fans are freedom loving, loyal lot.
Your idea of RP speaking in Sturgis is a natural! I've been to the Sturgis Rally and these people are also a passionate freedom loving lot.
Send your idea to the campaign at mail@ronpaul2008.com
I'll send an e-mail also. Unfortunately there isn't a RP Meetup group in Sturgis or Rapid City to take the lead.

Where is the rally? I know that Joe Seehusen, the campaign's Iowa coordinator, mentioned bikers as one of many groups we can pull votes from for the straw poll. I'm sure he'd be happy to do some kind of outreach at Sturgis.

The Sturgis Rally takes place in Western South Dakota. It does an average draw of 500,000 people (no that isn't a typo) from all over the USA.
