Follow-Up - Ron Paul DC Freedom March Vs The GOP Convention

The response to my post a few days ago giving my reasons why I could not support the Ron Paul Freedom March in Washington, DC, this summer, has been overwhelming.
With the exception of three people, the other 424 Americans who have emailed as I write this, agree with my opinion that the target should be the GOP Convention in St. Paul-Minneapolis.
Every American who emailed are staunch supporters of Congressman Paul, as I am. They know about this proposed march in Washington, DC, but don't support it. Some said they were thinking about going, but have changed their mind. So many have questions and concerns about the GOP Convention because they've never been to one before. I hope I can answer some of them here, point by point.

The Police State
There's no sugar coating it: The Chief of Police is gearing up for riots:

Make no mistake about it: There will be paid government agent provacatuers at this convention. They will be there to cause trouble. There will also be fools who think their stupid, irresponsible actions are going to make a difference. I'm not conveying this to scare anyone from coming to the convention, but everyone should know there are risks. I know full well that things can get ugly fast.
Are there alternatives?
Dozens of emails had the same basic question, i.e., "I can't afford to go", or "I'm 75 years young, but just can't make the trip, is there anything I can do to support this effort for Ron Paul at the convention"? "I want to help, but I can't be there." Might I offer up these suggestions that work?
Flyers as inserts in the major newspaper. Every major hotel in this country provides a free newspaper to their guests. Some USA TODAY, but most I have found provide the state or city newspaper, in this case, The Star Tribune
Advertising Department: http://www.startribunecompany.com/104
What good organizations do is put together a professional, one-page flyer, like you see in your newspaper from big grocery stores. These inserts are put into the newspaper and those newspapers go to every hotel in the city - to every room and that means delegates. Your insert will also reach every household that subscribes to that paper and newspaper stands.
The cost is actually minescule when done in lots of 10,000 or more. The Star Tribune tells prospective advertisers: "Our newspaper and online products have a combined reach of seven out of ten adult metro adults." I have seen it done for many conventions I have attended. My choice to write the text would be Larry Lepard, the very generous American who funded the full page USA Today ad last November. This insert must contain text that tells the delegates there is a truck load of factual documentation to prove vote fraud in the primaries which will null and void committed delegates to McCain - IF he's still a candidate by September.
