Florida Event a HUGE Success

Posted by Jesse Benton on 08/08/09 05:02 AM

Hats off to Mark Cross and the rest of Florida Campaign for Liberty. About 1,100 people turned out for the rally in Orlando headlined by Dr. Paul last night. The room got so crowded, the hotel had to call the fire marshall - twice! C-SPAN covered the event, so we'll be able to show the whole country just how popular Freedom really is.

It was KISMET!

Somehow everything fell into place and I was able to attend The Florida Liberty Summit in Orlando Friday night.

It was standing room only when my friend and I arrived and it was suggested we go to the opposite side of the room where there was more space.

We sat on the side of the band stage, listening to the other speakers, until Ron Paul was about to come on and then moved closer to the corner of the stage so we would have a better view for the camcorder (not so profile) of Ron Paul when he began his speech.

Lo and behold when they announced him, he came out of the door behind us with Jesse Benton and John Tate, President of Campaign for Liberty, leading the way and was headed straight past us on his way to the stage.

Starry-eyed as he approached me, I said in shock, "RON PAUL!!!"

held out my hand to shake his and yep, haven't washed my hands since.

So you will notice when he passes the corner of the stage, just past the big speaker, in the beginning video (not filmed by my friend) that Ron Paul slows for barely a second, while he shakes my hand, then continues to the stage. You cannot see me for all the heads in the way. (You can see my friend though trying to record it with his camcorder, he's tall, dark short hair, light blue shirt with tie and silver glasses and you can see his head move from right to left as Ron Paul passes at about 20 seconds.) He was teasing me on the way driving to the Summit because I was filing my nails. I said what if I have the opportunity to shake Ron Paul's hand, I want my fingernails manicured.

TOOOO COOOOOL!

You will see an Alan Grayson cameo in Part 2 and when he shares the stage with Ron Paul momentarily. Remember his grilling of the Inspector General of the Fed, Bernanke and Paulson? I did find him after the show, thanked him and shook his hand too!

It was a wonderful speech and hopefully someone will post the remainder of it soon. Seems as most of the youtube clips so far are of only the first 30 minutes. There should be a CSPAN video coming up soon. We also have some footage of Thomas Woods' speech that I can post tomorrow afternoon or soon thereafter.

Liberty is ALIVE!
