Pro-Paul anger growing over fair venue
• http://www.politico.com, By RICHARD DANIELSONSupporters of Rep. Ron Paul suspect the Republican National Convention is toying with them, and they’re taking their complaint to social media, talk radio and anyone else who will listen.
It would run from Aug. 24, four days after Paul’s 77th birthday, to Aug. 26, the day before the convention begins.
In late March, the nonprofit group Liberty Unleashed — not a part of Paul’s presidential campaign but peopled by his supporters — applied with the convention to use the 355 acres of the Florida State Fairgrounds for the event, which would bring together music, entertainment and activism.
