Albany TP here. The Ron Paul guys started coming in at the 2nd rally with a table to sign up for the campaign for liberty. Bothered the crap out of me as most of us weren't in for any particular candidates and didn't want to be pitched to. People like us have been pushed out of participating in TP events in a lot of cases because we really just didn't want to deal with it. On my own path of activism now.
By the way, The bulk of us barely even knew who the heck RP was when I began participating. He was NOT the initiator - at least not here in NY.
