Thought it would be fun to end the year with a bit of nostalgia. What was your most memorable Ron Paul moment of 2007? Here's mine:
December 16th, 2007 - Standing at the steps of the State Capitol building before the sea of Ron Paul supporters that turned out for the event. we'd expected a few hundred people to turn up, and so we hadn't filed for a parade permit as that costs some bucks to get police escorts, etc. As we're looking out at the crowd with a bit of amazement, one of the police officers who showed up came up and told us that because there were so damn many of us, they'd called in motorcycle escorts to close off the side streets for us so we could march down Congress Avenue to the lake where we were going to re-enact the Tea Party. It was such a glorious feeling, not only that such a great crowd had turned out, but that our local police were doing their jobs and supporting us instead of harassing us. I felt like "yeah...this is how America should be!" It was such a complete moment -- everyone aligned behind the cause of freedom, a supportive government 00 everything that I envision a Ron Paul presidency will be like for the whole country.
