Although I'm not thrilled about either candidate, I was very inspired by this speech. He put his heart into it and said many of the things I agree with. I leave on Saturday afternoon for the Ron Paul Rally in Minneapolis. I am very excited and nervous at the same time. I am certain that I will learn a lot and look forward to having fun and meeting people that have the same beliefs as I do.
What a fun morning this was! Seeing the Happy Days and Laverne and Shirley casts here, the sun shining and people smiling. It brought back some fond memories. I know I have seen every episode many times. My family would sit down and watch these shows religiously. We had pride that these shows were from our hometown. Back in those days you didn't hear about school shootings or metal detectors at schools and airports. It was great watching Gus , a Milwaukee treasure in his own rite, interviewing some of the cast. Henry Winkler seems like such a kind and gentle soul. He must be Fonzie on the inside. I've kept up with most of their careers as time has gone on. I sure miss that show, but it wouldn't work with today's television shows. I have to admit there isn't much new TV I watch at all. I have become hooked on METV. It's great to watch the shows I grew up on and it was so exciting to see some of those great actors here today.
Thanks for coming back home! Thanks to Fox6 for having the interviews. I wish we could have watched the whole festivities. I was hoping we would be able to. It made me regret not going there, but today was school sign-up day here. I hope they all had a great time and have a safe trip home.

If they expected us to retire quietly from the scene, the political elite are in for a surprise.
Today I am making some very big announcements.
First, from August 31 to September 2 in Minneapolis, we will host a handful of events that will shake the political establishment. Everything will culminate on Tuesday with the official launch of the Campaign for Liberty at the Rally for the Republic.
The Campaign for Liberty will be the largest organization for peace, freedom, the Constitution, and sound money in American history. It will launch in grand fashion with lots of special guests and - if the early television and print inquiries we've received are any indication - plenty of media attention.
I would like to personally invite you and your family to join me and thousands of others in Minneapolis for these events and send a message to the Republican Party.
Tickets will go on sale for the Rally for the Republic this Friday, July 25 @ 10AM CST. We want this to be an unforgettable day, so we are holding a ticket bomb all day Friday in the tradition of our famous money bombs. How many seats can we sell on the first day?
In patriotic fashion all tickets will cost $17.76, so you can afford to bring the whole family.
This leads me to the second big announcement. After measuring the excitement and enthusiasm, we decided that the Williams Arena at the University of Minnesota was just too small to hold you. Therefore, we are making a significant upgrade. The Rally for the Republic will now take place at the Target Center, the largest arena in Minneapolis!
This promises to be the most spirited and provocative political event of the year! We held some very large rallies during the presidential campaign, but I have never attempted anything of this scale before. Its success rests entirely in your hands.
Later this week I will announce two internationally renowned musicians as headliners for the Rally for the Republic. We'll also be joined by rock star Aimee Allen, NBC's Tucker Carlson, Barry Goldwater Jr., Gov. Gary Johnson, conservative stalwart Grover Norquist, former Reagan deputy Attorney General Bruce Fein, presidential historian Doug Wead, MTV's Adam Curry, musician Mark Scibilia, and Frank Sinatra impersonator Rick Ellis. Other special guests will be announced soon.
My staff has been working overtime to provide you with three full days of entertainment. Please visit the schedule page of the website and read all about upcoming events. We also have a lodging page to help you find accommodations in Minneapolis.
Together we are taking back our government and restoring the republic. Please join me in Minneapolis to kickoff the Campaign for Liberty and support our Revolution. Can I count on you to be there?
In Liberty,
P.S. I know that you have done so much already, but with both major party nominees threatening to lead us into bankruptcy at home and more wars abroad, the success of the Rally for the Republic and the launch of the Campaign for Liberty is crucial. Please do what you can to be in Minneapolis August 31 - September 2 and send a loud and clear message of freedom, peace, and prosperity.
