We’ve got a jam-packed, exciting day planned for Tuesday, September 2nd, and we wanted to let you know that the events don’t stop after the stage lights turn off at the Target Center.
Famed guitarist (and Ron Paul supporter) Jimmie Vaughan will be providing the entertainment for The Rally for the Republic After Party. The party will be taking place at The Lone Tree/Annex (music starts right away on the linked page)- one block away from the Target Center. It will officially start at 9:30 pm, and it will last until 4 am. There is a $10 cover charge, and there will be a cash bar/limited food menu.
Jimmie Vaughan is the brother of Stevie Ray Vaughan, and a musical legend in his own right. In addition to his involvement with many bands and famous artists over the years, he is an accomplished and successful solo artist that is known for his masterful blues guitar work. From the official bio on his site:
Known for his deceptively simple yet complex attack, his clean, uncluttered style capitalizes on conveying the emotion and message within the music, He utilizes raw emotion, simplicity, and an elegance that is powerful and accessible, yet communicates exactly what he feels inside. It’s an approach that has earned him the respect of many of the greats of contemporary music, and guest appearances on such albums as B.B. King and Eric Clapton’s Riding With The King, Bob Dylan’s Under The Red Sky, Willie Nelson’s Milk Cow Blues, Carlos Santana’s Havana Moon and Don Henley’s Inside Job.
So, don’t feel like you have to rush out of Minneapolis after the Rally! The C4L staff would love to meet you if you are able to attend.

Would love to attend. Hold one in Seattle.
I really, really, really hopes this sends a message to the GOP. LIMITED GOVERNMENT.
I can hope, can’t I...?

Too bad I can’t be there. Sounds like a blast. And I do think it is awesome that Dr. Paul is going to continue taking a front and center position on the national stage in defense of liberty. It is too bad that more than likely nobody will ever hear about this beyond those already interested. The media blackout is hard to overcome.
Dr. Paul must have scared the media/powers-that-be a whole lot when he looked to be gaining traction with his presidential campaign earlier this year. It's almost like they fear that mentioning him will resurrect his campaign.
I was at the DC march and never saw a single report of the event published in a major paper. Thousands of people from all over the country marching in DC ain't newsworthy?
Go to Google News and type in "revolution march" and you'll come up with three hits. That's a travesty. Thousands of people apparently don't matter to the MSM.
