Rand Paul Visits Houston

Rand Paul came to Houston yesterday.

On his "Stand for Rand" Twitter feed, supporters posted lots of pictures, as requested. https://twitter.com/hashtag/standwithrand

He spoke at a Hyatt Regency Imperial Ballroom, capacity about 2,000, and also at a private event. Then he was going to go to Lake Jackson, Texas, outside of Houston, to the home of his father, Ron Paul.

I estimate maybe about 200 people attended the hotel event but only because I can't find very good pictures of the event on-line. I saw a few pics of the private event ans thing there were perhaps a couple of dozen at the private event.

Maybe he's just not tech savvy, but it wasn't a very active Facebook page- 51 invitations, 3 RSVP's and 4 "Maybe's".

His "Meetup" page was kind of lame, too- had 10 RSVP's. https://www.facebook.com/search/str/Rand%20Paul%20houston%202016/keywords_top
