**POST INVASION REPORT**

The event was a success. It went far more smothly than I anticipated. There were maybe 10 Ron Paul supporters, and 30 moveon.org members. Those are just my guesstimates. A minority of moveon members took exception to the Ron Paul signs. One guy even raised his voice, and demanded that they be taken down or he would leave. He said this should just be an anti-war event, and not to promote a particular candidate. For the most part, however, people got along. One moveon.org member even took up a Ron Paul sign on his own and waved it. I did not hear any reports that we converted anybody, but we at least increased his name recognitition among the crowd. Perhaps people will google “Ron Paul” later to find out more. The most significant thing that happened is that a reporter for the San Gabriel Valley Tribune showed up, and asked us questions. I tried to stress that the moveon.org group, and the Ron Paul supporters are not affiliated with each other, but anti-war people can support Ron Paul due to his non-interventionist foreign policy. We’ll see if there’s a story about it tomorrow. I’ll post pictures eventually. My friend Bill took pictures, and he’ll hopefully have them up tonight, so I can post them here either tonight or tomorrow. We got a lot of honks, by the way.

That would be interesting to actually get some free press coverage for RP's campaign. We really need the name recognition in the urban centers.

Sounds like you guys did really well. I'm glad you didn't encounter any of the hard Lefties, a nasty bunch, sometimes violent. I'll look forward to the photos and maybe a news article.
