Paul Supporters To Rally At Target Center
Barack Obama may have Invesco Field, but Ron Paul can now lay claim to the Target Center.
Supporters of Paul, the libertarian-leaning former Republican presidential candidate, plan to rally in Minneapolis in conjunction with the Republican National Convention, which will be held in nearby St. Paul beginning September 1st.
As the Associated Press reports, that rally has now been moved to the 15,000-plus capacity Target Center, home of the Minnesota Timberwolves. Paul will speak at the rally on Sept. 2nd, day two of the RNC.
"They're there for their political convention to nominate their candidate," local Paul coordinator Marianne Stebbins said, according to the AP. "We're supplementing it. Liberty is getting short shrift right now. We're giving our people a place to go for those days."

During the Republican Presidential Primary Debates Ron Paul received many ovations from his comments and answers to specific questions on policy and direction of the United States. Many Republican Americans see the need for change in opposition to the current Right Wing Hard Line.
The Changes outlined by Ron Paul are attractive to all Americans, this is policy the Right Wing of the Republican Party is ignoring. It%u2019s not the responsibility of the Democratic Party, Democrats in Congress, nor Barack Obama to bring the necessary change to the detrimental Conservative Agenda on Americans, it%u2019s up to Republicans to bring change to their party.
