Introduce yourself! Who, What, Where, Why!

[VIDEODROME]

Dan from Mid-Michigan. I'm a former television engineer now working toward a career in photography.

Several months ago I saw Ron Paul briefly on the news but it didn't make an impression then because it was so brief.

Recently though I heard there was going to be a debate covered by FOX. I missed it on TV but looked for it on YouTube. I was surprised that typing "Fox Debate" into YouTube search brought a massive flood of Ron Paul debate clips.

After watching them more and more I started getting interested. I also watched the other candidates debating again to give them one last chance to impress me and they didn't cut it.

The last few elections I was a 3rd party voter but this time Ron Paul has my support and I'm returning to the Republican party for 2008.

Also as someone who worked in television for many years I had wondered if the expansion of the internet and especially internet video could change politics and the importance of large campaign "war chests". I'm am very intrigued that a candidate has come along who's campaign message is booming across the internet like this and he can get noticed even though the media initially dismissed him.

As for why I like him I like that he is decentralizing the power and authority of government at the Federal level and giving it back to the states.

Walt, from Cedar Park, TX (Austin suburb). I've never done anything to support a candidate before, but I'm putting everything I can into this. Donations, fliers, on-line activism, talking to friends and family. I wish I could do more. I truly believe Ron Paul has a good chance of winning the primary.

Hi, I'm lisa. My husband and I live in NC, not too far from Raleigh. I had heard about Dr. Paul through a blog around June but didn't think much of it cause I was basically through with the Rep.Party. But we were at a flea market one saturday in early August, and I saw a Ron Paul info stand. We talked to the volunteers and took some info. Of course I googled Ron Paul when I got home and WOW...I was blown away. Except for maybe one issue, I agreed with Dr. Pauls platform. Most important-I believed he was telling the truth about his intentions.
So I have been telling family, friends, neighbors 1, to register, 2, to vote for RP and have passed out CDs and emailed youtube links like crazy. Glad to be a part of the revolution.

Fellow patriots, I have been an avid Ron Paul fan for years. I first learned of him through The Conservative Index. The 100% rating caught my eye, and I became an instant supporter. When Rep. Paul launched his exploratory committee for the Presidency, I was elated. He is the only one capable of getting this country pointed in the right direction. We need our Constitution back!

My name is Glenn - I'm not exactly new but I'm new to Dr. Paul. I am a Christian, used to be a neo-con, and am now firmly within Dr. Paul's grip.

I'm from NJ and hoping NJ will love Dr. Paul as much as my family does!

Shoutout from NY

Hey there,

I've posted a few times...mostly lurk, y'all are a wealth of info. Mostly every piece of info I have comes from here.

I'm Kristine, 35, upstate NY, married and have 2 boys 13 and 7. Hubby is a co-organizer of a meetup, and I've made sure our efforts have involved our whole family. I made the older one go to a rally with us today and he marched and held a sign up.

I've watched enthusiastic people online and offline work very hard and they've inspired me to work. Before this, I was a pretty shy person and hibernated in my house.

I am 27 years old, I have been a single mother for 8 years and a college student for six. I never considered myself libertarian (mainly because I didn't understand what it meant), but have always considered myself liberal. I never thought that I would be so passionate about supporting a candidate, let alone a Republican! I love his message: peace, honesty, and TRUST in the American people. This is still our country and we can take it back with Dr. Paul's leadership! Long live the Constitution of the United States of America!

Hello,
I am a 23 year old Christian Libertarian and a veteran of the USAF. I've been following Ron Paul for quite a while now, since well before he announced his 2007 candidacy. I have been a viewer of these forums since shortly after they were started and have gathered a wealth of information from them. Keep it up guys. Oh, and ... GO RON GO!!!

intro

Hey
my name is Robert
23 engaged,
PFC - Minnesota National Guard
I think Ron Paul came back to the people when he saw that they would accept his message, He ran back in 1988 and got 1% of the vote, but now he has us, his Supports, we are as diverse as America is and getting bigger.

I have posted a few things so far, nothing ground breaking but I think it is great that we all have a place to come to get those ideas out to the rest of the world, this is where it will happen, Online the day of election, partying that night, Keep the hope WE WILL see to his inauguration in Jan '09. I hoped we would see

HJR 45 is a great piece of legislation and I hope to see to its inception in my state, the need is 3/4s of all states to pass it.

Hello!
My name is Denis. I found this site when someone posted a link to here over at the Ron Paul 2008 section of the NHFree Forum.

I've been a very active RP supporter these past few months, doing what I can to help Dr. Paul in our first-in-the-nation primary: sign waves, posting signs in my yard, passing out Ron Paul liberty cards, writing Letters to the Editor, voting in straw polls, you name it.

I moved my family to New Hampshire 3 years ago as part of the Free State Project. We're having a blast with all the pro-freedom activism, and Dr. Paul's campaign has definitely kicked me into high gear!

Hola.

Hello there. My name is Jason Wolverton. I live in Ohio, 29 miles outside of Columbus. I am unemployed because all the jobs in my area are full because of the closing, and over seas moving of factories. no one is hiring. Bills are adding up, and I am only 21. I'm tired of this country and the way it is. I'm tired of this NAU crap, and there is no way I am taking a National I.D.

Ron Paul for 2008.

My name is Kelley. I am a 43 years old woman. I was a single mother for 10 years. I met my husband at the end of November of 2001 and married February 3, 2003. Prior to meeting my husband, I didn't know what libertarian was about and now that I understand it I guess that I always have been one. I never thought that I would be so passionate about supporting a candidate such as RON PAUL, let alone voting. My husband and I are co-leaders of the Anderson, SC meet-up group, I am currently the secretary of this group and we get the WORD of the RON PAUL REVOLUTION out through e-mails, the county, sign-waving events and any other way possible. I love his message about honesty, peace, respect, trust, and all he stands for in the American Eye.

"This is still our country and we can win back freedom with Dr. Paul's leadership!"​

I have known about Ron Paul for years and have followed him and his writings for all that time. I also, when I could, watched his "Special Orders" speeches on the floor of the House on CSPAN.

I have been involved in politics only sporatically and have voted less. Voted for Nixon's first term, Ronnie Reagan both times and that's about it. I did follow Ron Paul's run on the Libertarian Party ticket but did not vote as it did not make any sense to me at the time.

I was active in the 1994 Congessional campaign and thought, initially, that progress was being made, but the "Republican Revolution" petered out quickly and most of the real Consitutionalist were some sent packing and back home.

I had just about given up all hope until Ron declared his candidacy and thought that I would give it a try again. Being 63 I did not hold out much hope for our beloved country as it was moving toward Fascism at light speed.

The message of liberty and freedom is powerful and he has been gaining, against all odds, the ability to get this message out to the people. When he is able to do this he (we) are very successful. Standing on principle and for the Constitution is unstoppable, especially against the mental midgets running for President.

Even if he is not successful, the expericence of his message is necessary for the United States if we are to survive as a free country. This in itself is worth any effort that I can make on his behalf.

I have omitted personal details for the sake of brevity, but if anyone cares to ask more about me my direct email address is [email protected] and anyone is welcome to contct me at any time.

I have also set up a Google Email Group at http://groups.google.com/group/ron-paul-2008 for the purpose of posting only important information but everyone is welcome to join and post if they like. I am also posting important financial information, as that was my profession before I retired, since this will prove to be important in the upcoming Presidential campaign.
