Yeah, that's the basic plan. When we know who in Iowa needs rides and who from our group wants to volunteer at the straw poll we can prepare for it.

These are the same guys that supported the exclusion of Paul in the Ames debate. Looks like Paul supporters are going to have to pull all the stops to make a good showing.
Dear FairTax supporters,
Our "Dare To Be Fair II" rally is coming to Ames, Iowa on August 11th and we need you there.
Date and time: Saturday, August 11th, 10:00 a.m.
Location: Ames, Iowa (Stephens Auditorium at Iowa State Center)
How to attend: Reserve your free tickets online
We can only offer 1,000 non-Iowa tickets to the event at this time, so please RSVP now to ensure your place in FairTax history.
You absolutely cannot afford to miss this opportunity to take our fight for the FairTax to the Iowa Straw Pole. We hope to see you there, but if you’re not able to attend, please take a moment to share this invitation with others.
Our huge rally success in Columbia, South Carolina in May drew a great deal of national interest to the FairTax – and this rally during the GOP Iowa Straw Poll in Ames is our time to "cash in" on our growing momentum. The national media will be roaming the straw poll grounds looking for stories – you can make sure that FairTax supporters are the ones who capture the day!
The presidential candidates themselves and their staffs will also be working the straw poll grounds, so this is your chance to tell them directly why you support the FairTax. It is a rarity for most of us to be able to speak directly with numerous presidential candidates about the FairTax – August 11th is one of those critical opportunities you can't afford to miss.
The August 11th event begins at 10:00 a.m. with another Neal Boortz-led rally of music, speeches, and appearances by presidential candidates and other invited guests. Afterward, we will once again "march for the FairTax" handing out FairTax literature as well as "gently" reminding the national media and presidential candidates that FairTax supporters cannot be ignored.
We will also have a 2,000 person, air-conditioned tent with food, beverages, and entertainment where you can take a break from the day's activities as well as educate visiting Iowans – and perhaps a presidential candidate or two – about the benefits of the FairTax. You will also have the chance to visit all the presidential candidates' tents and hear their speeches.
This truly is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for FairTaxers, and we need your help to make the rally, march, and hospitality/education tent a huge success – so please make the trip to Ames.
Our official 2008 primary march on Washington begins in Iowa. So get to Ames early and be loud and proud for the FairTax!
Warmest regards,
David C. Polyansky
Chief Operating Officer
P.S. We'll have the new FairTax tour bus on hand in Ames as the next stop on our march to the primaries. Stay tuned for more info on our 50-state challenge and how you can get involved in taking the FairTax message to towns all across Iowa and beyond.

I want to go, but I am confused and I have questions. A 15-minute internet prowl didn't help so I'll just ask here.
what can we do there if we are out-of-state?
will we have to buy tickets even if we can't vote?
