A Message from Ron - No 3P Run, we will continue the fight..

[colecrowe]

If you thought this fight was against the "Republican Party" and that the "Republican Party" is responsible for the war, what were you doing here in the first place? There is NO DIFFERENCE between the Democrats & Republicans. Haven't you realized this yet?

I am not specifically opposing the Republican party--I am opposing blind loyalty to it and the idea of putting the GOP above the country.

I AM equally opposed to both parties.

I don't see how you didn't understand that my post was protesting the loyalty BS.

Ron Paul is not going to surrender, and John McCain will not take the Republican nomination without the fight of his life. Your donations and work as Precinct Leaders are needed now more than ever. Thank you all for everything you’ve done so far — the revolution has just begun.

Thank you! In fact, I recommend that EVERY supporter of Ron Paul cut and paste that response as necessary! You can tell that many of the "supporters" on this forum are really young without much staying power.

Now your saying a militia is not ok with you? Your saying that we have no need for a militia ? No it is not a stupid thing to do. It is an American thing to do. You are wrong and if anyone wants to start a forum for this I will join along with many others. I am actually in a militia here in my state for reasons that people don't understand or want to not accept. I guess you haven't heard about martial law before. The way this country is going we need this. We need people we can trust and count on to survive. There is nothing violence about forming a militia.
IT IS VERY AMERICAN TO DO SO.

I support State militia's. The state is the people's refuge when a federal government becomes tyranical.

I'd rather you work in the system and not use Ron's name to do something he likely would not agree with.

FUCK loyalty to the goddamned Republican party. I've seen my buddies die and get all fucked up because of the mother fucking Republicans! Hundreds of thousands of us would donate tons and tons and canvass and do anything for him if he just ran iNDY!

Fuck you people who care about the GOP more than the country. End this goddamned fucking war now and restore honor and truth and gov't of the people to our government. We will become a war mongering nazi state if we do not elect Ron Paul

What is your deal? Calm down. Most of us here realize that the best way to spread the message is through the GOP. We tried a go straight to the top, and it may not work out. The grassroots is smarter than the neo-cons. We know we have the power to overtake them and it starts from your local Republican party. Get involved and get active.

 

[VoteForRonPaul]

Good. I didn't want Ron to give up his Congressional seat. I would rather him not be President and be the lone voice of truth in our government than run for President and potentially lose it.

Go Ron!

He has been in Congress for 10 years and what happened?

 

[greeksta59]

we need Rand Paul his son to run for president in 2012

I wish he would have put the above in his email.
Quelling the 3rd party rumors was beneficial, but the overall tone of the email was somber.

It's not just the Republicans. We overwhelmingly elected the Democrats to end this senseless war in '06 and they have done NOTHING.

And I have plans to continue fighting for our ideas in politics and education that I will share with you when I can, for I will need you at my side.

--From the letter.

I've always known that the real fight is an educational one.

"Raise a child in liberty, and they will fight with their last breath so as to die in it."

Raise a child in government-mandated 8 hour prison cells (school), and they'll grow up thinking the nanny state is a great thing.

We don't usually discuss Ron Paul's views on homeschooling and decentralization, but it's important. This is an ideological revolution as much as it is a political one, and schools are the first place to start.

I CAN'T WAIT to see us all rally behind a national initiative to free the kids!! Is it just me, or has Ron Paul raised an army of ardent and well-connected political activists? I'm excited!!

 

[ShowMeLiberty]

Great, I'm more uplifted than ever!! I am willing to fight on. Who will join the loser above? This is election is only one battle. Who will continue the war with me?

Me! I will continue the fight with you and every other patriot who sticks with us.

I'm disappointed that the brokered convention is not likely anymore, but it doesn't mean there isn't still a chance. With about half the states still to hold primaries or caucuses, there are still a lot of former Romney supporters and former Thompson supporters to recruit.

Even if the White House is not ours this year, we do not stop now. We do not give up for any reason. What we are fighting for is more than the presidency.

We are fighting to restore and retain the very principles upon which this great nation was founded, before it is too late. There is no greater cause than freedom.

Apologies, then. I understand your anger. I am loyal to no party, I pledge allegiance to no party and would never do something so blind. I am loyal to my principles. Please do not be offended that we chose to use the GOP as a means to win this war against tyranny. They stand for NOTHING. WE do. WE are going to take this party and make it our own.

 

[Enzo]

I also don't give two shits about the GOP or the Republican or Democratic parties.

But, if that's the vehicle we are using.. then so be it.

I will continue to support Ron Paul.. and vote for him here in Texas.

I will also continue to support his Congressional campaign... as well as the campaigns of other Ron Paul "Republicans"


A year ago.. I didn't care about any of this... because I felt that this country was completely doomed to wallow in it's own shit.

Ron Paul, the Revolution, and all of you here have changed that for me.

I'm not gonna turn my back on everything now.

 

[Redcard]

It's not just the Republicans. We overwhelmingly elected the Democrats to end this senseless war in '06 and they have done NOTHING.

Hey, they tried to pass war funding bills with timelines attached to it.

It got vetoed. It didn't get passed. It wasn't overridden, and not through will of the Democrats.

There's not much we can do when the president vetos a bill and the republicans fail to help.

(Yes, I am a democrat, mostly. For Ron Paul, I'm a .. single candidate republican)

Thanks. I wasn't offended. I just hope he runs iNDY if nothing changes between now and March 4th.

 

[fedup100]

I'm not sure what to make of this letter....all I know is that I'm pissed. FUCK Obama, he's the medias fake Ron Paul....antiwar, 'change', young people, internet, money bombs. FUCK the media.

Yeah Obama is for "change", he has never said what the change will be. The change they are gonna see is no borders no country, a muslim in the white house and amerika will be the new south africa lite.

Ron Paul is going to keep fighting on until he is OFFICIALLY not given the Republican nomination. McCain will lose in a landslide, but not that it matters because the three contenders are all the same when it comes to policy. Dr. Paul will not end his campaign before the convention, only WE can end the campaign. The money has to keep flowing, the canvassing in the upcoming primary/caucus states needs to continue. Just remember, voter turnout in the GOP primary was very very low in 2004. That was because the nominee was already "chosen". We still have the opportunity to have some strong showings if turnout from the other camps, is in our favor. McCain always talks about what a great military leader he is/would be. Are we gonna prove him right and let him march all over us on his way to the convention? Are you ready to surrender or will you continue to fight?
