Well well well!  After searching every nook and cranny of the hotel expanse from the meeting room out by the golf course to the other side where we eat meals looking for the 'Grand Jury Caucus', I can't find them.  The various Committees hammering out their submissions to the Committee of the Whole are literally scattered everywhere.  In most of the ones I saw while looking were either topics that I had no interest to work on, or had more than enough people to do what was required, and I would be using my time unwisely.  

Instead, I know I should be either doing laundry, getting some catch-up sleep, walking to the Target I heard isn't too far ( I couldn't bring my shampoo, cream rinse, or toothpaste on the plane and I'm using hotel freebies), but I try to take every opportunity to distribute announcements of the Congress online, posting pictures, updating my blog here, commenting at www.Freedomsphoenix.com , and recording "Ed's Daily Report" found there, and on the Ron Paul MeetUp site.

I am attempting to solve problems that I see going on, and it's a real sticky wicket.  Fortunately, I have been associating with Bob Schultz and Michael Badnarik for many years now and they know me, and know how I am .  They know when it comes to principles, I am steadfast in my resolve to follow my conscience and do the right thing all the time every time.  When I take an absolute hard line and others "try to talk some sense into me" (like 43  times in the last two days) I stick to my guns and don't back down an inch.  The wildest thing about it all is, they keep telling me "I'm right! BUT... (insert bullshit reason to sacrifice your integrity for POWER here)". 

"but I'll use the Ring for GOOD!"   We've heard that line before.

I am so thankfull for the experience I gained at the 2008 LNC in Denver!  It opened my eyes wide and gave me pointers on not only what to look for, but how to properly battle it.  I am going to attempt to remain here as long as I possibly can.  It all depends on the responses I get from the unnamed persons I have to work with - either things I see that aren't right get fixed by them, or get fixed by me.

Their choice.
