Given the PPA attends CPAC, I was wondering if the PPA will be attending Freedom Fest.

Rich is out of the loop at the moment for keeping up on 2+2 posts due to his eye troubles, so it's probably best to PM or email one of the other PPA staff members. Here is the Contact Us page on the PPA web site:

Rich, now that you are back, I was wondering if you can answer my question. And if PPA attends CPAC and not Freedom Fest, could you tell me why not?

It doesn't look like there are any elected officials at Freedom Fest, so it isn't likely you could get the same 'bang for the buck' as you could at CPAC.

Where would the value be in an event like this one?

Aren't we supposed to get more people aware of our cause?

It certainly doesn't hurt to make more people aware of our cause, but just like everything else one has to measure the potential dividends.

I'm not that familiar with Freedom Fest, but it looks like little more than a trade show. I'm not judging its value, I'm asking what it might be.

I'd like to see resources at the state level. I think a PPA booth at the state fair, for instance, alongside the campaign booths for the state parties and candidates, at least in the dozen or so states capable of supporting an intrastate market. For just a few thousand dollars we can expose the cause to tens of thousands of people, as well as those state politicians we need to support our effort.

I don't have much information on it as I saw an ad for it in a magazine I don't normally read and don't even remember what magazine it was.

The type of event (libertarian leaning) seemed appropriate for the PPA which prompted my question as to attendance.

I'm attending it.

Best wishes,
Mason
