Added on edit: so what if most of Dr. Paul's supporters are college students? When I hear that, it gives me hope for the future of this country! If the younger generation GETS it, they are in a much better position to make a change than someone my age. I hope they will take the opportunity to follow in Dr. Paul's (very large) footsteps and run for political office, and I hope they do this in droves.

I think it is the "middlins," or people right now between 30 and 55 who are the most critical at the moment. That's not to say that the college crowd is not the most critical long-term, I agree with that, but the middlins will be the one who keep this ball rolling between the time that Ron Paul retires from public life, and when we pass the torch on to those who are 16-30 today.

I am not saying that because I happen to be 36, but rather because I recognize that the only possible thing that could "kill" this movement right now would be for there to arise a great silence in our ideals and principles for a decade or more between the time that Dr. Paul retires and the younger kids today are in a position to influence policy.

It's up to us middlins to keep the torch burning at full intensity until the tsunami-wave of current-youngsters grow into "important generation" territory.

Fifteen years from now, we will be inundated with political activists who cut their teeth on RP08. If we can keep the fire burning between now and then, then that will be an era of AMAZING change. If we can not, then I am saddened to say that many if not most will return to apathy, as has most of the former "youth-only" political movements without cross-generational appeal.

Therefore it is upon us in this thread, most of us reporting here being middlins, over the next decade and a half, to carry the torch and raise it high for all the world to see, so that today's "younguns" will be ab;e to step into a political climate which they can easily dominate by sheer numbers, strength of conviction, and outright passion.

I like this thread. It's positive and fun. Keep it going.
We should compile it and send it on somewhere where it will get some notice and exposure.
The OP is correct. While there is no question that the "kids" have made a tremendous contribution to this movement, we are often painted as ONLY that. It's one of the many tactics they use to marginalize us. They'd like to paint the picture that we're just too young to understand, and will learn better when we "grow up". Well, I can only speak for myself, but for me, the process of "growing up" is what brought me to this movement.

I would love for every RP supporter over 25 (and especially over 30) to record a very short (5 second) "I am 36, and I support Ron Paul" "I'm 52 and I support Ron Paul" string it together into an hour long video (split into 6 10 minute segments" and virilize it by cross-media posting FB Twitter Veoh etc etc) to counter the "kids-only" rhetoric.
