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

[colecrowe]

Everyone in favor of the iNDY run if it becomes obvious (after March 4th) that he won't get the Nomination, please send him a note on the contact page of the website and a pledge to donate and get signatures and canvass for him!

I'd have no problem with an indy run after the prumarys.

"Of course, I am committed to fighting for our ideas within the Republican party, so there will be no third party run. I do not denigrate third parties -- just the opposite, and I have long worked to remove the ballot-access restrictions on them. But I am a Republican, and I will remain a Republican."

There will be no 3rd party run.... I'm still going to canvass the hell out of my precinct here in Indiana for RP. And for myself, I'm running for Precinct Committeeman here in a tight precinct.

Let's change the Congress.

Someone get on it....

 

[virginiakid]

In most cases you can take over the party with as little as 5 people, sometimes you will need more just depends on how active the party members are. Get people in the GOP and keep them active and over time you will take it over. My plan is to unseat all the dead weight GOP officials (The crooks, and etc....)

 

[ItsTime]

I have been saying this for a few months now... THIS IS THE ONLY peaceful WAY TO GO.

Let's change the Congress.

Seat by Seat.

Again, if Ron does not make it, I will encourage him NOT to run 3rd party for President. Glad to see Ron came to that conclusion himself. We need to take over the government from the bottom up, not the top down.

 

[RonPaulwillWin]

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.

 

[nullvalu]

Absolutely, this is how the revolution continues. We take over the GOP. This is what Ron Paul wants, noone can argue this anymore after this email.

Yep, fuck em. Vote Ron Paul and keep up the fight.

 

[inibo]

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!

Except he won't be the lone voice if we are as enthusiastic about and generous with the Ron Paul Revolutionaries who are starting to run for congress. I think we all hoped and dreamed it would all happen this year, but it's going to be a long hard slog. Time to man up and keep pressing on. Let it not be said that we did nothing.

Thank you for reiterating everything I have said in this thread.

I'm not saying it's all over, I'm just not all that affected by the news.

I realize that. That's just my 2 cents.

THESE are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as FREEDOM should not be highly rated. Britain, with an army to enforce her tyranny, has declared that she has a right (not only to TAX) but "to BIND us in ALL CASES WHATSOEVER" and if being bound in that manner, is not slavery, then is there not such a thing as slavery upon earth. Even the expression is impious; for so unlimited a power can belong only to God.
Whether the independence of the continent was declared too soon, or delayed too long, I will not now enter into as an argument; my own simple opinion is, that had it been eight months earlier, it would have been much better. We did not make a proper use of last winter, neither could we, while we were in a dependent state. However, the fault, if it were one, was all our own; we have none to blame but ourselves. But no great deal is lost yet. All that Howe has been doing for this month past, is rather a ravage than a conquest, which the spirit of the Jerseys, a year ago, would have quickly repulsed, and which time and a little resolution will soon recover.

I have as little superstition in me as any man living, but my secret opinion has ever been, and still is, that God Almighty will not give up a people to military destruction, or leave them unsupportedly to perish, who have so earnestly and so repeatedly sought to avoid the calamities of war, by every decent method which wisdom could invent. Neither have I so much of the infidel in me, as to suppose that He has relinquished the government of the world, and given us up to the care of devils; and as I do not, I cannot see on what grounds the king of Britain can look up to heaven for help against us: a common murderer, a highwayman, or a house-breaker, has as good a pretence as he.

'Tis surprising to see how rapidly a panic will sometimes run through a country. All nations and ages have been subject to them. Britain has trembled like an ague at the report of a French fleet of flat-bottomed boats; and in the fourteenth [fifteenth] century the whole English army, after ravaging the kingdom of France, was driven back like men petrified with fear; and this brave exploit was performed by a few broken forces collected and headed by a woman, Joan of Arc. Would that heaven might inspire some Jersey maid to spirit up her countrymen, and save her fair fellow sufferers from ravage and ravishment! Yet panics, in some cases, have their uses; they produce as much good as hurt. Their duration is always short; the mind soon grows through them, and acquires a firmer habit than before. But their peculiar advantage is, that they are the touchstones of sincerity and hypocrisy, and bring things and men to light, which might otherwise have lain forever undiscovered. In fact, they have the same effect on secret traitors, which an imaginary apparition would have upon a private murderer. They sift out the hidden thoughts of man, and hold them up in public to the world. Many a disguised Tory has lately shown his head, that shall penitentially solemnize with curses the day on which Howe arrived upon the Delaware.

Yes, it is at the City/County level, the state level, and the federal level. Seriously, what good would it be being POTUS if you do not have a congress that is polar opposite of you and would fight you tooth and nail?

I've made the same comment myself. This is truly just the beginning. We are now more aware than we ever have been and know what we need to do.

 

[Paul.Bearer.of.Injustice]

I expected this to come, but the timing is piss poor. Just what the Washington, Kansas, and Louisiana people wanted to hear
Then again, timing isn't the hallmark of this campaign

 

[colecrowe]

We must convince him to RUN FOR PRESIDENT! No more war!--no more debt! My brother and brother-in-law and myself and all my buddies are going to have to keep fighting this illegal, horrible war! Please Mr. Paul, run and fight for the country--not just your party!

 

[angelatc]

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?

I am lucky, but we have met a skilled political organizer through Ron Paul. He's got us signed up to be GOP precinct captains locally.

Some of the active folks here are meeting over the weekend to decide how to proceed next.'

Sadly, we're going to lose quite a few people to life. College, work,....eventually the mundane will set in again. (Apparently the guy above went straight there!)

I think a lot of people had trouble hanging on through the primary season...not realizing that politics has a long season.

But some of us will go on to make a difference.

And we'll always have Paris....or Britney.

 

[Minuteman2008]

If we really want to take over the GOP, then McCain must lose to the Democrats so the party can have time to examine what it should be about. Only a McCain loss can move the GOP back to a conservative platform. If McCain wins the party will continue to move in the opposite direction that we want.

There might even be a movement started to keep McCain out of the white house. I don't mean actual support for Democrats but mainly just a movement that tells the GOP it is time to start over.

I think Paul could have helped this happen with a third party run, but oh well.
