WASHINGTON - Former Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura is slated to speak at an alternative rally for Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, during the Republican National Convention in St. Paul.
Rally spokesman Jesse Benton said he hopes Ventura's participation will boost national attention for Paul's two-day "Rally for the Republic."
Supporters of Paul's message of limited government are staging the rally at Minneapolis' Target Center while the GOP holds its national convention at Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul. The convention is the first week of September.
Ventura could not be immediately reached for comment. Benton says Ventura will speak about the two-party system and how it isn't listening to people.
