Paul Supporters To Rally At Target Center

Barack Obama may have Invesco Field, but Ron Paul can now lay claim to the Target Center.

Supporters of Paul, the libertarian-leaning former Republican presidential candidate, plan to rally in Minneapolis in conjunction with the Republican National Convention, which will be held in nearby St. Paul beginning September 1st.

As the Associated Press reports, that rally has now been moved to the 15,000-plus capacity Target Center, home of the Minnesota Timberwolves. Paul will speak at the rally on Sept. 2nd, day two of the RNC.

"They're there for their political convention to nominate their candidate," local Paul coordinator Marianne Stebbins said, according to the AP. "We're supplementing it. Liberty is getting short shrift right now. We're giving our people a place to go for those days."
