With young voters comes youthful enthusiasm. “This is the message of the Beatles, the Dylans of the world,” said Marc Scibilia, a 21-year-old songwriter from Buffalo, referring to Mr. Paul’s platform. Mr. Scibilia posted a video of his Paul-themed song, “Hope Anthem,” on YouTube, and this summer he will lead a 28-city “Freedom Tour” featuring other musicians. Mr. Paul’s message of freedom and peace is “an ancient message — it inspired people in the 60s and 70s,” Mr. Scibilia said. “I want to bring back that era of magic.”

If you're involved in organizing the Freedom Tour in your city, or you plan to come to the concerts, please join the Freedom Tour Meetup Group right now.

Well for 2 weeks we've been trying to get an RV in some type of a sponsorship deal, but people are just so afraid of politics! So we need to rent one. Here's what we're looking at. The RV itself will cost $9,500 and the gas will be approx. $5,500. In order to raise this, we have started 2 chipins. One for the RV & Gas, and one general one for other expenses. FInd them here, and please chipin what you can. Before we even told a soul, someone sent in $250! Amazing, Amazing. See what you can do.

Of note, all the concerts are FREE. We're doing this to draw in the non-Ron Paul people. So we're relying on grassroots support to make this tour happen.

CHIPIN here.

The Freedom Tour has legs. Things are going much better than anticipated. All meetups have been contacted, and we are now waiting for the meetups to show that they have the enthusiasm to bring the tour to their city. We may even be adding some cities where people have expressed interest in us coming.

Right now our biggest hurdle is finding a Class A RV we can use for the tour. With an RV we can cover more cities in less time. We are trying to organize a contra deal with an RV company, but if that fails we'll need to rent one, and that's big $$. Because of SO MANY chipins around the place, we didn't want to start one ourselves, but if you have an RV company, or just have an RV that can tow another vehicle that you would be prepared to let us use, please get in touch. We're also open to a sponsorship package. If you want your businesses name spread around the nation, get in touch! All of us grass-roots supporters are making this happen.

We're so excited to be able to re-ignite some passion for the freedom cause and take Ron Paul's message across the nation.

28 cities have been selected. Now we're contacting the Ron Paul supporters in each of these cities through their meetup groups. We need to drop about 10 cities from the list, so the most organized and excited meetups that really want the Freedom Tour to be in their city will be the one's we visit. Talk to your meetup group organizer now and make sure we're already working together. Because it's only as we work together in unity will we be able to restore our Republic. View the chosen cities on Google Maps.
