Save The Date: RedState Gathering 2012

RS Gathering 2012

We’re going to the swing state of Florida in 2012. For Republicans, August will start and end there with the RedState Gathering the first weekend of the month and the Republican National Convention the last weekend of the month.

By then we should have the nominee and we hope he’ll be at the Gathering. Of course, we’re inviting Governor Scott, Senator Rubio, and senate candidate Adam Hasner, among others.

It should be a fun time. I’ll have hotel details forthcoming and a great introductory rate.

But here’s one thing you need to know — the event is expanded by a full extra day so it is going to be a bit more expensive. Why expand by a day?

2012 is an important election year and we want to spend extra time letting American Majority train all the attendees to be the most effective grassroots activists in America. If you attend, you’ll leave not only having been eye to eye with some of the most important leaders in the country and up and coming stars, you’ll also be able to get back to your community and get it organized for the November election.

See you in Jacksonville next August!

    Yes! 2 years ago, cost was too much for us, this year our baby was only a few months old – next year it’s going to be less than an hour away!

    And south Texas is hardly flyover country.

    Politically, it gets lonely in Massachusetts where I live.

    I wish there was something useful I could do to help rid this nation of Obama–but there’s very little chance that MA would vote for any Republican over Obama. So my vote is wasted anyway.

    to hold Red State 2013 on Bill S’s front lawn?

    (it’s gotta be somewhere… how tolerant are your neighbors?)

    I Live an hour south of JAX and would love to attend. Hopefully, I can get time off from work,

    We could probably fit a hundred or so into the back yard, but the dog turds might turn people off.

    Resident of the First Coast here (Jacksonville and environs) and I can’t wait! I will be there (here) and I hereby solemnly promise to keep my snarkiness to an acceptable level so as to not be banned before the soiree!

    Welcome to Jacksonville, Redstaters!

  • Michael Dugas

    Anyone interested in hoping on the Jacksonville Express from South Florida let me know. Maybe we can get enough together to rent one of those gas guzzling Hummers to ride up in style!

    You can donate to good conservative candidates in red or swing states! And there are a lot of volunteer opportunities (especially phone banking) that you can do from anywhere, for the eventual GOP presidential nominee and for lots of conservative Senate and Congressional candidates around the country.

    Two good conservative candidates (who Erick Erickson has endorsed):

    Adam Hasner, running in the Florida Republican primary for Senate
    http://www.adamhasner.com

    Ted Cruz, running in the Texas Republican primary for Senate

    Can I get some help getting my wife there in my place and some good people (Moe?) to show her around and introduce her to folks?

  • http://theusreport.com KBDay

    Thrilled to see that Red Staters will be in my city for 2012.

    So many people were so kind and helpful to me when I attended my first RSG in Charleston. So I’ll be glad to return the favor.

    If there’s any way I can help (or if you’re seeking volunteer groups to help), please let me know and I will do so.

    And Raven, you just have your wife email me. I’ll be happy to help intro this great city to her and do whatever needs to be done.

    2 hours from Orlando…. that’ll work! Was kind of looking forward to the trip out of state to the Gathering but what the heck. Look forward to it.

  • ihateliberals

    I think it would be an interesting thing to be in DC and be able to visits the halls of the very ones that cause us so much grief.

  • fpete13527

    I’m looking forward to it again and I will need every bit of the motivation that I know will be there.
