Libertarians rally for Ron Paul - Pittsburgh Post-Gazette - Tracie Maurielo:
August 26, 2012 - "Before Mitt Romney's supporters began trickling into town, a growing crowd of Ron Paul supporters had begun to assemble for a three-day alternative convention at the Florida State Fairgrounds that runs through this evening.... Missing, though, is Mr. Paul himself, the Texas congressman who had campaigned for the GOP nomination. He declined an invitation but is holding his own event today at the University of South Florida's Sun Dome....
Organizers were so disappointed that they changed the name of the event from Paul Fest to P.A.U.L. Fest, an acronym for People Awakening and Uniting for Liberty, but they say the candidate's absence doesn't diminish their passion for what he stands for....
[F]ormer New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson, Libertarian candidate for president ... addressed a boisterous festival crowd Saturday, saying he was grateful for the path Mr. Paul ... paved by running as a Libertarian presidential candidate in 1988. 'Be Libertarian for me for one election, one election, and together we'll show the world and the nation that what Ron Paul stood for is not a fluke; it's the future,' he told the screaming crowd of about 1,000."
