Introduce yourself! Who, What, Where, Why!

Hey all. I was introduced to Ron Paul and Libertarianism about a year ago by a dear friend and many of the concepts and Dr. Paul's ideals/philosophies made immediate sense to me. I've been slowly sipping the kool-aid and coming around to Libertarianism on the whole. Maybe one day I'll call myself a reformed Liberal :cool: I'm working on shaking up some commonly held stereotypes in my head and trying to avoid pigeon holes and go with what makes sense.

I'm a social worker for the State I live in (Maine) and working for state gov't is a blessing and a curse all at the same time.

My friend talks about the forums all the time and so I figured I'd mosey on over here and learn more about Libertarianism and Constitutionalism and see if there are any places I can direct my energy to further the cause.
 
I am a 55 year old Daytona Beach bum who is concerned about the level of martuiry of my fellow Paulians. Keep fighting but be civil and respectful of each other
 
My name is Stuart Bain, and I am the Libertarian Party candidate for the 2010 congressional elections here in Virginia's 6th Congressional District.
 
I am a HUGE fan of Ron Paul - liberty and freedom are essential ingredients in my life. I like to talk politics and guns, and I look forward to discussing these with you all!
 
Ron Paul Cured My Apathy

Ron Paul cured my apathy. I'll say that time and time again...

Hello everyone,

I'm fairly new here, but been following Ron Paul for almost 2 years now. Amazingly, I only just found out about these forums by watching the "For Liberty" DVD. Up until then, I've resorted posting on company email lists where talking politics seemed like a one way street for liberals. Its nice to know there's a community of people out there cultivating the message and fleshing which policies and politicians are really liberty minded.

Since discovering RP, I've read a couple of his books (Revolution, A foreign policy of freedom) and taken an interest in economics... something I found SO boring in the past, but so fascinating in light of this new perspective.

My intuition would always nag at me every election cycle when we are forced to choose between the lesser of two evils. Ron Paul has answered that feeling with a perspective and discourse that makes sense. I'm now constantly educating myself and am happy to talk about anything and everything from this point of view.

Go Liberty!:D

Welcome, Stuart! We appreciate your sacrifices in dedicating your time and effort to a Congressional run, and spreading the message of freedom and individual liberty to countless citizens of the Shenandoah Valley!

If you need any help with anything campaign-related, please don't hesitate to contact me with a PM - I'm right up the road in Lynchburg. :)
 
I am Matthew McCain. I'm a senior Politics and Public Policy major at Liberty University. I run several pro-liberty college groups and I was recently picked up to help Stuart Bain in his bid for Congress in the 6th District of VA.
 
My Name is Matthew M. I've been a fan on Ron Paul for about a year now. I've also been following Peter Schiff's video blogs for about 6 months. It's great to find a Ron Paul friendly forum.
 
Hello all, I am life-long advocate of classical liberalism, constitutional government, and the unrestrained free-market. I'm a huge fan of Ludwig von Mises, John Talyor of Caroline, and a litany of other authors. I'm tremendously glad to be on here!

Actually, I live in Georgetown, DC. My wife is in the Foreign Service and I work in academia.

Now, before you jump to conclusions, thinking I have just described your worst enemy or worst nightmare, know this: I have 8 generations worth of Kentucky roots and am an enthusiastic Ron and Rand Paul supporter. I think Rand is destined for greatness. I am sleuthfully and occasionally overtly trying to intersperse some paleocon sense into the cliché of the typical leftist academia. In other words, I’m one of your spies behind enemy lines. I’ll help the cause however I can.

I lived in Europe for the past few years and, while noting the grand histories evident in the terrain, I saw first-hand the modern-day degradation of the soul that comes from nanny state population management, insane levels of immigration, a general bread-and-circus dumbing-down, and pretty much everything that is (has been) heading our way.

I am a huge…

Ezra Poundian philosophical pagan scientist:
An anti neocon, anti Zionist,
Anti WTO, anti Federal Reserve, anti Soros,
Anti Libdem, anti Labour Party…on an Oroboros.

…you get the picture.
