I have been in the Revolution since before it started. I was sending Emails and letters to Dr Paul as far back as 2004. I sent emails to his local newspaper imploring the citizens of that community to give him up for the greater good and convince him to run for president(though at the time I thought Libertarian Party).
I can vividly remember the day I found out he had thrown his hat in the ring(it was actually leaked to the Libertarian community early) and I literally yelled "RIGHT ON!!" right in the middle of my office. I had to explain to the 3 people in the room why I had gone insane for a second.
NONE OF THEM HAD HEARD THE NAME RON PAUL! At the begining I had to mail my first check into the Exploratory commitee. The website was just a single HTML page that was linked from his congressional page.
I remember the very first Youtube that came out showed him at a house party in New Hampshire AND A WHOPPING TOTAL of 50 or so people were there.. And I was excited by this. I remember the early videos showing him driving HIMSELF around to different places.
We polled exactly ZERO POINT ZERO in national recognition and support in January of 2007. MY ONE AND ONLY point in being a part of the Ron Paul run was to see him make it TO JUST ONE nationally televised debate, JUST ONE.. That is how reserved my hopes were for this campaign. I just wanted the chance for OUR VIEWS to be seen by a wider audience than just LewRockwell.com and the Mises.org websites.
I KNEW that if he caught fire he could unite an unlikely mix of Social Libertarian, Social Conservative, Anti-War advocate, Pro-Drug Legalization, Pro-Life, Pro-Home Schooling, etc ,etc coalition, the likes that has never been seen in modern politics. But I was trying to be cautious and not get my hopes up.
ONE NATIONAL DEBATE was all I wanted. Well we got that and a whole lot more. I remember the "Guiliani Incident" in the Fox debate and how that was the CATALYST that started everything rolling. I remember vividly pumping my fist in delight after I read the 2nd Quarter number and we made a whopping 2.4 million dollars and the utter triumph when we topped 5 million in the 3rd quarter.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME.. 6.4 million in one FUCKING DAY???!!??? 24 million in the 4th quarter??
For all of you that want to hang your head in shame. DON'T... You are a part of History here my friends. What started off as a modest attempt to shine a little light on a long ignored philisophic view point has snow balled into the New American Revolution. You can stand proud and know YOU WERE IT'S PATRIOTS.
Sure we all remember John Hancock and Thomas Jefferson and Madison and Franklin. But what about the hundreds of thousands of unsung patriots that made those men famous?? Were they any less important.
If we keep this movement alive, you will have to trust me on this, but WE WILL WRITE HISTORY!!

This revolution has already changed the world. Nothing they can do can put us back to shleep.
