Well I never knew about this thread...

Hi, my name's Dave and I'm a whistleholic. ("Hi, Dave.")

Seriously though, I'm an aspiring professional whistler. I've done lots of paying gigs but haven't had that big break yet to be able to get to the point where I can make this my full time living. Hoping that happens at some point; I just got hooked up with a much better agent than the one I just had for the last couple years.

I am a former life long Democrat (liberal--and key word *former*) and I started following Ron Paul in the 2012 primary, and switched party registration to Republican in order to be able to vote for him in the primary. Here in California, it was so late in the game, they were already declaring Romney had "clinched" it so I made huge signs out of plywood saying "The Media Is Lying -- Ron Paul Is Still In It! www.thereal2012delegatecount.com" and I went around in the middle of the night before election day hanging them up over freeway overpasses in very high traffic areas. When I went to take them down the following night, all but 2 of them were taken down within a day, even though I used chains and padlocks and reinforced them with metal plates to make 'em tough to remove!! LOL Also did phone banking for Ron Paul leading up to the CA primary, calling registered Repubs in Orange County.

Currently between jobs. I do purchasing, 10+ years experience, mostly medical/surgical supplies and pharmaceuticals. Was also a Realtor for 7 years but no real desire to go back into real estate. I think I'm really close to getting a good job, finally. Got two good possibilities going right now.

Non-Bible believing believer in the Infinite Eternal Consciousness of the Universe.

I sometimes disappear from RPF for weeks or even months at a time, mainly because when I start hanging out here I spend way too much time in here, and I don't get enough productive things done in real life!!

LOL Tell me about it... I'm definitely in need of a "day job," and I'm not jobless by choice. Still looking. Another job interview next week, hopefully this will be the one.

Actually wouldn't mind relocating if anybody here owns their own business and needs a good smart purchasing agent, or customer service rep, or sales/marketing person, or all around "everything" person, or manual laborer, or anything else that doesn't require detailed technical knowledge. I could do just about anything any "normal" person could do, as long as it's not surgery, rocket science, electronics, programming, etc... No real technical skills but over ten years purchasing experience, and some real estate experience, good with contracts and paperwork, good with people, great on the phone, really capable. Anybody looking for good reliable help? I just need to make enough to support myself, one wife, and one kid. Willing to cut the long hair if necessary.

Greetings, my fellow patriots, my name is Ralph Arana and I reside from the state of Indiana. I'm a retired steelworker and a veteran of twenty-eight years of service in the Air Force. At an early age of fifteen, I had a passion for civics, especially the writings of our Founding Fathers and studied the writings of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. How blessed we are as real Americans, to live in America. America is at a crossroads in our history, and we face much adversity, but by the Grace of God, we shall prevail and be humble to Him, for He is our Creator of Heaven and Earth. Blessed are the Peace-Makers and the Defenders of Liberty, for as Patrick Henry said: Give me Liberty or Give me Death. God bless you all and on to victory for Rand Paul as our savior as the next President for the United States of America.

Glad to have you here Ralph. Are you a refugee of Daily Paul / Popular Liberty or did you find the site some other way?

Mike aka Son_of_Liberty90, recent college graduate and longtime lurker. I grew up listening to Talk Radio specifically Michael Savage and Glenn Beck who made me think outside the box on certain issues at the time in the late 90s/early 2000s dominated by mainstream media. Around 2007/2008, the name "Ron Paul" kept popping up on their shows from callers, and for some reason both talk show hosts kept shutting them down. Long story short I grew out of talk radio, (I did listen to Jerry Doyle for a time during the 2008 Financial crisis and he was GREAT and calling out BS on both sides, and was a big Ron Paul supporter), then read "The Revolution: A Manifesto" right before/during college, and it seemed to elucidate the political views I knew I had, but could not articulate. They were tied to the Constitution, unlike neocon war cries and rhetoric. It focused on monetary policy hardly talked about in talk radio or the MSM.

I donated a lot of money during the 2012 Ron Paul campaign. Unfortunately, I was out of the country on study abroad during Jan-May 2012, so all I could do was spread campaign videos around on facebook, donate and speak to fellow American college students abroad about the election. Upon returning I attended Paul Fest in Tampa, FL, which was an awesome event, but bittersweet. You guys remember when Rand spoke at "We are the Future" rally talking about the TSA?

This time around, I donated money and signed up for 1,000,000 calls. I was a little disappointed Rand did not at least continue onto NH but I understand he needs to save his seat in the senate.

In the meantime, what I believe we need more than ever, is education through media, preferably a television series or something online that gets millions of views like Cinemasins or HonestTrailers. Maybe even a bestseller.

Because I see a lot of talk on forums, not just RPforums, that only when there is a huge "Collapse" Americans will wake up. Well, if history has shown us anything, its that the exact opposite happens. Americans may be well fed and entertained, but given their track record of supporting the nanny state, they will most likely clamor for more government once a huge disaster hits. It really would be our worst nightmare.

So with all that said, I look forward to great discussions and ideas on liberty!

Hi everyone, My name is Canaan and I just found this site today. (Really behind I know right?) I was very passionate about Ron's campaign in 2012 and actively participated in sign waves and flyer distribution. Unfortunately I was not old enough to vote at the time. (This election will be my first time.) I am very passionate about liberty and bringing change through information and demonstration, and looking forward to advancing the cause of liberty with you all.
