God Bless the USA, A Movie, and Receptions!


What an awesome experience. We started off the day with a Ron Paul protest parade going several blocks downtown. They put soo much time in to creativity and shock factors that they were lacking a united message. It was very entertaining. 
We made our way to the Minneapolis Convention Center for a reception with Lee Greenwood and veterans. One thing everybody needs to do before they die, partisanship aside, is to hear God Bless the USA by Lee Greenwood live. A remarkable experience. It was noticed that we were the youngest people in the room with an easy 30 year gap in age. During the concert, we ran into the Senator from Minnesota. 
We made our way down the hall a movie screening of An American Carol. This movie is going to be a hit. Staring Kevin Farley (Chris Farley's brother) Kelsey Grammer, John Voieght, and Bill O'Riley. It is making fun of Michael Moore's "documentaries" and his un-American attitude. I would encourage everyone to go watch the trailer on youtube. 
After we wiped our tears of laughter from the movie, we made our way to the civic center for a delegate reception. This was a neat experience with all of the state delegate's hanging out and mingling. We went around and met delegates from all over. 

It's only day one, but we are having an amazing time here. Today we are going to Hardrock Cafe and then we are heading to the Convention Hall for what may be the only day they meet.

I hope that actor talk you to death. He came to visit us working on Rudy's campaign in Jacksonville and we couldn't get him to shut up about the communists in Hollywood.

Un-American attitude??? Wow. When did dissent become un-American? Seems to define an American to me!
