[buck000]

Hi, I'm Paul, from a little suburban sprawl town near Austin, TX.

I'm for Dr. Paul because of his consistency and his devotion to the Constitution, which I think is a critical check/balance to have in the Executive branch, if not the entire Govt , at this point in time.

He is the one candidate who's liked by 3 generations of my family!

 

[TimLogsdon]

Hello, my name is Timothy Logsdon. I'm a computer consultant at UNH-Durham. I'm also the vice chairman of the Strafford County (NH) Republican Committee. I've run for NH State Rep twice (and lost) and for the Somersworth School Board once (and won). I'm planning to run for NH State Rep again later this year. I have been a constitutionalist since I joined the US Army in 1996 and read the US Constitution because I figured that I should know what it was I swore to support and defend against all enemies, foreign and domestic. A few years later I was reading bills that were coming up for a vote in congress and found that the best bills were sponsored by Congressman Paul of Texas. I support Ron Paul because of his dedication to supporting and defending the Constitution of the United States.

 

[Jassman]

Hey, I'm a Canadian (Calgarian to be exact) who has been following Ron Paul since the beginning of his campaign, having previously been introduced to "Dr. No" on Ian Bernard's radio show "Free Talk Live". Since then I have been learning about the Free State Project and following the presidential election very closely.

All this media censorship just pisses me right off, especially because I have to sit on the sidelines and watch as a Canadian... Hopefully I can help out in some way other than emailing various media about their biases.

RON PAUL 2008!

 

[trapfive]

Hello, My name is Ron. I had washed my hands of politics due to...well you all know why. I'm a Ron Paul Republican, a true conservative/libertarian. One day I heard a man utter a simple phrase "WE ARE JUST SAVING FACE" and I began to investigate. Finally, a politician willing to tell the truth. Anyone reading this please do yourself a favor and look into the Iranian Oil Bourse and Irans move to Petroeuro-lization of oil. Everyone is dancing around this elephant in the room.

 

[patriot2008]

Hi, My Name is william. I'm glad I am finally here. I chat at Justintv/ronpaul all the time and have been trying to register here for weeks. For some reason I never could get in or even recieve an email confimation, then after even being registered this thing would recognize my email, but not let me log in or I would recieve nothing via email from here. You might want to look into that, may be happening to many, or make registration instant, you could always kick em out later in necessary. My email carrier is comcast, don't know if that has anything to do with it. Anyways glad to be here and participate, been with Dr. Paul for about 5 months now.

My name is Danny. I saw Ron Paul when he was first on Bill Maher and was sold. Ron has since changed many of my preconceived ideas about conservatism. I also got turned onto Peter Schiff and Jim Rogers because of Paul and have since been fasinated with economics. Great forum!

After an intensive study of economics, I have become a conservative for the first time in my life. I am inspired by Milton Friedman, Ronald Regan, and the founders of this country. We follow in the tradition of our predecessors, but we have additional perspective to re-enforce their liberal foundation. With a historical perspective, we now see that the government has not solved any of our problems and that the libertarian doctrine is humane, logical, and contagious.

I have been lurking/semi-posting for a while. It is only now that I feel the need to introduce myself.

My name is Mike. I have converted six people in Ohio and my father donated to the campaign. I look forward to helping in the future!

Hi - I'm doctorfixit

My name is Rich, I am a longtime believer in freedom. As a european-american male, the government is my mortal enemy.

Visit Ten Reforms that Will Save America for my discussion about why government never solves problems, it only perpetuates them.

It is very gratifying to see younger Americans throwing aside the idea that government can give us any answers to life's problems. Government is the biggest problem we face as Americans.

Believe it or not, a majority of Americans believe in the freedom-loving ideas that form libertarianism. But because libertarians are less inclined to chase after charismatic personalities, and because powerful media propaganda tries to make us believe we are a "fringe", we don't realize how strong we really are.

Ron Paul is a great American, because he is helping us to realize the strength of freedom and the dangers of unchecked government power.

My dream is for a European-american homeland on the North American Continent, where we can live in peace and freedom, secure and protected from our enemies.

 

[Virginia Martin]

My name is Virginia Martin. I live in Kentucky. I am a contributor to Dr. Paul's campagin and thinking about becoming a Precinct leader.

Our primary is not until May.

Someone is already putting up homemade signs for Dr. Paul around my neighborhood. Do not know who they are. Still, many of my friends never heard of Ron Paul. Media are keeping him under wraps. I believe that if they gave him one/tenth the coverage they gave Fred Thompson he would win in most of the States by a landslide. As a matter of fact when those talking heads ask him if he thinks he is going to win he should tell them he would win if he were given coverage like the other candidates. That is all it takes, you know - adequate coverage. It is not fair to the American people to not know about Dr. Paul who is a legitimate candidate for the office of President.

Dr. Paul should jump on voter fraud, too. It is far too rampant as well as unAmerican. Ask Pat Buchanan.

[gavin12]

hi i'm michael lee from east meadow, new york. I discover ron paul after the may 14th, 2007 republican debates, when giuliani exchange words about ron paul remarks about 9/11 which giuliani was wrong and made him look foolish thinking he, giuliani is such a terrorist fighter was not true. I became a Ron Paul supporter after giuliani choked on his remarks "He's such a terrorist fighter".

 

[cybloo]

Hey, I'm Courtney -- a former music theory and composition major turned computer science.

I voted for Ron Paul in the Iowa Caucus ... I didn't really know much about him until a week before so I didn't get a chance to go out and canvass and such. But I replaced one of those people who didn't show up who had pledged themselves for RP.

Ron Paul, FTW!!!

Introduction - idea for Ron Paul TV ad, urgent - please read

Who am I? Doesn't matter, I just have a message.

I would like to see Ron Paul scare the hell out of people and make it clear what Ron Paul stands to prevent. Show a scene of decrepid sidewalks, pot holes, abandoned streets, looted stores, burnt cars, old people dying in the streets, turned away from medicare, young people stomping over them. "This is America, 2022, America for the first time in history defaulted on its debt of $50 trillion. But there was one man who could have prevented this, who has stood for a balanced budget for 30 years, who warned against exactly this occuring. This man is Ron Paul. You can prevent this from happening."

Just like republicans used the fear of terrorism, Ron Paul needs to use the fear of economic collapse, which is actually more probable and would do more harm to Americans. No one's talking about the big elephant in the living room, it's a perfect opportunity for RP. He can use quotes from famous economists like Kotlikoff, or our own GAO, who predict that we will have to hike taxes by 100% if we don't balance the budget.

Another ad could depict the wonders of hyperinflation. Your parking meter no longer reports how much you owe in dollars, but in tabs, with each tab worth $.10 or $2 or $20, as inflation goes up.

Perhaps have another ad with a living room and an elephant in the center. "This is our national debt."

Make it urgent, use the plethora of quotes talking about the fact that the more we delay action, the more debt we accumulate and the more dire the consequences. People respond to urgency. But don't just say 'consequences', show the consequences. Then at the end of the commercial show a happy future where there is no debt and children play, make it positive.

I would be happy to share my sources, who I read, mainstream economists who would all support this message. It isn't fringe if you have mainstream economists backing up the ad.

42 y/o never voted never thought there was any hope.
Now I've learned more about the election process in the last 3 weeks than I ever have in my life.
I never could imagine anyone donating to a candidate. Now I can't imagine not donating to the one and only hope for restoring our lost rights - Ron Paul

I honestly feel this is our last chance. If we do not seize the opportunity to change the tide, we will all become slaves to the establishment(much more so than now).
Now I sound like what before I thought was crazy.

Unfortunately I will be incarcerated for dealing marijuana during this election(already signed the plea). But up until that time I'm donating time and money, converting as many people as possible to the revolution.

The police stole my possessions in the whole ordeal. I'm not just talking about forfeiture items. I'm talking jewelery, money, collectibles.. basically anything they wanted and did NOT inventory them. So it's like some things never even existed!
I was told by prosecution through my attorney that if I made any of this an issue, they would file the charges much higher= a hostage situation with my freedom being the hostage and my possessions being the payoff.
I also was arrested and did not resist. Yet they felt the need to kick me in the ribs and badger me(I guess for not resisting). Threatening to shoot my little puppy as they stood masked shouting. Thankfully my crying pleas for his life were granted and he was allowed to live.

Now I must say, I'm guilty. No denying that. Being busted is hard but being busted by a gang of law breaking, stealing , thugs in masks , who are supposed to represent the law is much harder. If I'm supposed to be the criminal then what are they? I've never stolen!!!! I've never pointed guns at a puppy dog and threatened murder a person pet!!! Nor have I kicked in a door that was unlocked and available to open. Nor have I called a man's wife up who was out of town to makes threats and tell lies to obtain some type of cooperation to serve my purpose. No, I've not done any such things..

My story isn't isolated. The police in their military gear with their high powered automatic rifles in the form of drug task force teams are out of control in this country. Though I can see possible scenarios where there military performance may be necessary, the vast majority of time, especially in marijuana situation, that is NOT the case.

Their overzealous nature is larger in due to the fact that they get to legally(and illegally) steal/take/rob from the people they bust. When they steal and do harm to your household (pets, walls, person) their lawlessness evil deeds go uncontested .
They have the upper hand because not only do they arrest, their prosecutors are just their puppets- so they also are the judge and jury in most cases.
It is an out of control system.

Many who think they will be ok because they operate all affairs within the confines of the law are sadly wrong. As the laws get more strict and misdemeanors of yesterdays become todays felonies, it will be harder to simply 'exist' within the confines of legality in the stranglehold that has been placed on our liberty.

I would like for my now 6 month old child to know the world I did as a child and not just to hear story of yesteryears about what freedom was(if that will even be allowed in the world without Ron Paul and those that would bravely follow in his footsteps).

Instead of my child receiving taunts such as ," Your dad was nothing but a drug dealer" she would hear something like, "Wow, they really used to put people in prison for marijuana?"

 

[Peregrin]

Hey all!

I'm Renee, 35 years old, wife, mother, and homeschool teacher in Michigan. I've been sick and tired of politics for a long time. I'm not one to put my faith in Man, but I am glad to finally see a real person (Ron Paul) running for president! He's the only one whose walk matches his talk, and I'm going to vote for him even if I have to write his name all over the ballot.

Thanks for sharing. God bless you and yours. I pray we can change this system to redefine what a crime really is, and who the real criminals are. Take care.

 

[Johnny Crab]

I am one voice

WHERE?
Greetings from south Texas!

WHO?
I am a Dad who is SICK of seeing our country slowly given away. My Grandfather told us many decades ago that the events surrounding FDR and others like him put us on the slope downwards. He also said, sarcastically, that having a television in every room was good because everyone could have their brains washed at the same time. Those statements I recall from my childhood when TV was black and white. They are true today.

WHO & WHAT?
Don't tell the MSM-brainwashers but I've a degree in Electrical Engineering and support my family. My oldest sons, one an aerospace engineer now working in the telecom/cellphone industry and the other a former USMC Sargent now in the security field on the east coast, BOTH support Ron Paul without me even suggesting it. They can see clearly through the BS. I guess I did something right.

WHERE? (part 2)
I am a resident in Ron Paul's home district in Texas. I have voted for him every time he has run and listened, watched, and LEARNED from him for a LONG time. I have been voting in Louisiana(1974~1989) and Texas(moved here in 1989). He is the ONLY candidate who does what he says he will do, PERIOD. He spoke at our local Veterans Day presentation in our High School auditorium, here in smalltown USA/Texas. Part of the reason I LOVE it in this part of the country is that the locals have enough brains and morals left to elect him to office.

WHY?
I've been watching politicians for over 4 decades with their games, double-talk, lies(inoperative statements?), theft, and every other form of office mis-use you can dream of. Ever seen a gambling governor? I did. Ever see a Governor try to force your daughter to get injected with an unproven vaccine that has resulted in the deaths of teenage girls? I have. Even now we're watching a so-called Trans Texas Corridor fiasco. It will destroy and steal land that has been in some familes for generations. It will NOT be pretty WHEN this is forced on landowners. So far, they don't run me off of my property. Oh wait, that's right....in Texas(TAXES) you pay rent to the state every year. They call it "property tax".

So why?
I'm sick of it, I have mirrors in my home(i.e. how can you look in the mirror if you voted for someone selling the country out?), and my children will KNOW their Dad did what was right for the country.
My children also know that one of our ancestors gave his life at Bunker Hill for what is left of our freedoms.
He was also called Dr., Dr. Joseph Warren.

"On Tuesday evening, 18 April, observing the movements of the British troops, Dr. Warren dispatched William Dawes, by way of Roxbury, and Paul Revere, by way of Charlestown, to give the alarm to the people dwelling on the roads toward Concord."
