I was busy today making a Rand Paul video, and other things, and barely got my donation in before midnight, but I made it!
PS - Here's the video I made to document the grassroots campaign.

PPS - Watch for the OPEN CARRY at 35 seconds!

Hah! That's great!
I loved the recycled RP'08 signs. I sent most of mine to other districts, but I've probably got a few left in the garage.

I'd like to get my hands on seven Coroplast yard signs with the wire stakes. I need something I can cheaply convert to Guns And Buns signs to use in Jacobson Park to direct folks to the OC Picnic.

Update: A story broke in yesterday's Courier-Journal newspaper that the National Republican Senatorial Committee is endorsing Trey Grayson and having a $500+ per person fund raiser for him. The NRSC is an organization that helps to elect Republican senators.

Usually, the GOP maintains at least a plausible pretense that they are allowing the members of the party to pick their candidate in the primary before they get involved to support the candidates, but not anymore. This is nothing more than Mitch McConnell picking Grayson as his lap poodle to replace Bunning after kicking Bunning out of the Senate for not supporting McConnell's TARP-1 bailout. Bunning went on national TV and rightfully called it "socialism". It's actually worse than garden variety socialism because corrupt Wall Street banksters got the money, but... close enough. Now, it looks like We the People are picking Rand Paul, someone who would never vote for bailouts for banksters, and McConnell & Co. are pulling out all the stops to help Grayson.
This is nothing but an oligarchy disregarding the will of the people to choose their candidate so they can maintain their power. That's not how it was intended to work when our nation's founders set up our government.
This was a stupid thing for the GOP leadership to do. First, there will be an opposing money bomb that'll generate a lot more donations for Rand than their invitation-only pay-for-play political fundraiser will attract. Second, they have revealed who they really are. As if the voters weren't already mad enough at them for their shenanigans, now they're caught red handed, ignoring the will of the people and engaging in back room deals and picking our candidates for us.
They've done a horrible job. Why would we want more like them?
The Republican Party leadership is now so brain dead and out of touch and totally dysfunctional that I wouldn't trust them to organize a bake sale without screwing it up.
Rand Paul, Y'all!

For some time, it's been obvious that elected officials no longer go to Washington to represent our desires to the Congress, in an attempt to persuade them to do what we want. Instead, they come from Washington to represent their parties, and attempt to persuade us to accept what they're going to do.
They no longer even maintain a pretense of serving their constituents rather than their party.

I think the serious Rand Paul supporters are the few people who weren't surprised by this poll. The establishment GOP is just starting to understand that this isn't a typical off-year senate race, but these are the political hacks who have sadly been complicit in the doubling of the national deficit and the doubling of the size and cost of the federal government.
Mitch McConnell's highly paid political consultants should go to a TEA party and listen to the people who are fed up with the two party choice between Corrupt Socialism and Corrupt Socialism Lite.
Rand Paul is the embodiment of the Republican platform as written in the party's founding documents. We need Rand to help fix the mess these self-serving politicians have made.

I'm not sure if they've learned anything, but they're probably starting to pay attention. Maybe they FINALLY figured out that the GOPbots are rejecting their program downloads. Oh noes! They be thinking for themselves! 
What about your Virginia governor's race? Virginia was a fairly strong Obama state in last year's election, but went Republican for your new governor. Any lessons to be learned there?
And to sorta tie this back to open carry... I'm already pushing hard for the Kentucky Firearms Freedom Act. I have a table at the Novenber 28th and 29th gun show in Lexington KY. The times, they are a changin'. Federal tyranny? Hell no! State's rights? Hell yea!
