Tucson Ron Paul March a huge success.

     The Ron Paul Tucson Meetup group held a very successful march on Saturday. They met at the east side of Randolph Park and marched the 4 miles around the park. The news estimated that over 200 people participated.

     At the GOPAC school in September they talked about earned media. Saturday’s event was a textbook case on how to generate media coverage. Plan a big event, contact the media, and show up in force.

     Video can be seen at the You Tube link above and photos can be seen at the RonPaulTucson.com web page. If you would like to get involved the Tucson Meetup group is quickly closing in on 300 members.

     Voters wishing to reregister their party should be able to do so online at ServiceArizona.

Update: The march received even more coverage on Channel 9 at the 10:00 broadcast. Campaigns live for exposure like this.

Calvin Holman (1931-2007)

Former State Legislator Cal Holman was killed yesterday in a horrific car crash. He was 76.

The crash involved two men who were likely racing at speeds exceeding 70 mph. Both men were arrested and have been charged with 2nd degree murder.

Cal was still very active in Republican party politics particularly in North Phoenix and Scottsdale. He served in the Arizona Legislature from 1975-1985.

On behalf of the writers of Sonoran Alliance, I’d like to express our deepest prayers and condolences to his family. He will be missed.
