Introduce yourself! Who, What, Where, Why!

[sistertothewind]

My name is Dana and I live in Shelton, WA. Until Ron Paul I thought americans had given up on their civil liberties. My faith in the people of this country has been renewed. Physically I am very limited, but I introduced my boyfriend to Ron Paul and he is gladly doing the work for Ron Paul that I am not able to do. He has been out there telling people about Ron Paul and he just recently joined a mmet up in Olympia, WA and we will be getting signs and information out in our area. I truly believe ron Paul needs to be our next president of the USA.

Hey there! I've been converting many people at work to Ron Paul. Still have lots more work to do! I just watched the documentary "Street Fight" and got energized from it! We gotta take it to the streets and spread the word!

Dec 16th is going to be great! But I'm maxed out so Jan 1st I'll be giving another $2300. Happy New Year Dr. Paul and America!

Hi I'm from NewZealand.

If you don't think US politics is any one else's business then think again. What happens in your country affects us down here and i have no hair left as i keep tearing it out with each successive US President.
Appalled we are in this country, generally speaking, at US imperialism and delighted am I to see someone like Ron Paul turn up on the radar as the other candidates unnerve me somewhat. Same old same old.

All this talk about getting back to the Constitution. Novel idea!

Anyway I live in Auckland, am a new, true Confederate and hang about on various Suthin' forums; love libertarian thinking, and have started to seriously worry about WW3. However my main worry is USA as the main player given you have 5,700 operational nuclear weapons and your estimated cost of U.S. Weapons programme is $5.8 Trillion.

U.S.A. reminds me of the girl with a curl....you know the story.When she is good she is very, very good, but when she is bad she is...well, horrid!!

Ron Paul has arrived with a refreshing lack of pretension, evident integrity and a kind of human beingness. Bless his heart and may he go from strength to strength. And may he not be murdered if he starts being too successful!

Oh I work in the Addictions field....Mental Health and it is summer here now. Hope i haven't offended anyone. I'm rather fond of you despite your mad politics. And i love your music!

My name is Michael / Cleaner44 and I am a U.S. Air Force veteran and a libertarian. I have known about Dr. Paul for a few years and my respect for him grows daily.

I have created the www.thecaseforronpaul.com to dispell the myth that Ron Paul is a "long shot" and has no chance to win this election.

This is our chance to point our country back to the Constitution. Unfortuanately many Americans feel that the Constitution is irrevalvant because of the propaganda they have been feed their whole lives. I am like Ron Paul, I believe in the Constitution. I took an oath to it. I wish our politicians would read it, respect it and adhere to it.

As a military man you know [parsed], "I swear to perserve, protect and defend the Consitution of the United States ..... against all enemies both foreign and DOMESTIC..."

My additional thoughts:

This is sworn to by all Officials in the US including the President as well as the military. The ultimate act of treason is therefore is the intentional disregard or subbornation of this oath and its Constitution.

The President is only the "Commender-in-Chief" when called into actual service by the Congress of the United States as per the Constitution. Now what could this simple statement mean? Well since the founders were well aware that they wanted to prevent war being declared by a king, that it must mean only when Congress actually declares an act of war. Since no Congressional acts of war have been declared since 1941, it follows that no President has been the "Commander-in-Chief" since that period.

If the military knew and understood these things GWB would have been arrested and tried for treason long ago.

I recently retired and moved from DC area home to Huntington, West Virginia.

I have waited sixty-two years for Ron Paul!!! I will NOT be denied my voice!!!

It is so great to have a real hero in our lifetime. Looking forward to sharing ideas for spreading the news. I cannot wait to get a big sign in my yard and Ron Paul on my car.

I watched the Federal Reserve video online last night and found Reagan's Goldwater speech and watched it several times. Great speech. And I have read and watched about everything online I can find about Dr. Paul. What a wonderful man!

I have joined a meetup group, bought a Ron Paul stamp and am stamping all my money before using it. LOL Perfect way to advertise, don't you think? <smile>

It would be a great feeling to wipe the smirks and grins off the faces of the media next November. They think they are going to win, but they don’t get it. They do not understand that the big political machines are no match for what We the People did on November 5, 2007, a day that will change our country. Do you remember where you were the day Freedom was reborn?

Discussing Ron Paul’s $4.3 million dollar fundraising day-Media ask Ron Paul, “How did you do it?” Ron answered, “I didn’t do it!” He went on to describe how it was totally a grassroots effort online and 37,000 donors giving mostly $100 gifts participated in the one-day campaign. That was $3000 per second! In other words, the people did it!!! The message did it!!! The people dropped a “Money Bomb” on Guy Fawkes Day. Next big event is the Tea Party on anniversary of Boston Tea Party, December 16, 2007.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Little did they know we only dropped a money grenade!!!! We’re still holding the Bomb!!!!

Here comes the Bomb!!!!!

Welcome to the "real world" Carole. I got you beat as I just turned 63 a few days ago.

I have known about Ron Paul from the 1970's and agree with virtually every point that he makes, and has made all along. The Man is a ROCK.

This time we have a good chance to bulldoze over-top of the media and get him elected. The media has no clue as to the power of the internet and the determination of RP supporters. I just did a projection on the next "moneybomb" and it is now on track to raise $7.3 million, but my "guestimate" is it will be much closer to $10 million as the rate of new supporters is increasing.

For my part, aside from contributions, I have set up a group to distribute important information to all members. From all the sources that I have I post these to the group and they are emailed to all members. The material posted is political both media articles and video links, economic as this was my profession and will influence the primaries and election greatly, and also humor as we all need this at this particular time.

Anyone can join for free and you can check it out and join if you like at this link:

All are welcome.

[JenaS62]

Hello Everyone,

My name is Jena from Vero Beach, Florida and I've been lurking and making a few posts on here now and then for about a week. I heard about Ron Paul several months ago, starting doing some research on him and fell in love so to speak.

I am a 45 year mother of 3 teenage boys, married 15 years, account manager for a large travel company, 5 dogs, 3 guinea pigs, 3 turtles, 3 hamsters, 1 soft furred rate, 10 parakeets and a partrige in a pear tree....

I just changed my voter registration from Independent to Republican so that I can vote in the Florida primary. I also forced my husband to register to vote for the first time since we moved to Florida from NJ. I then got my brother in law and mother on board - I am campaining heavily with my sister in North Carolina and brother in NJ as well as friends and anyone else I get an opportunity to talk to. I will keep spreading Ron Pauls message until the bitter end.

It's wonderful to see the posts left here by our friends in other countries!! I'm touched and inspired!

 

[skeet]

Hi All, My Name is Jeff Powell from Gulfport Mississippi. I tend to read without logging in and rarely post. But in the real world I am a Graphic Designer, MS State Chair for Ron Paul Friends USA, lifelong GOP, commissioner with the BSA, work with a few meet up groups in the State. Married, and have 3 chihuahuas.
We are trying to organize Mississippi down to the precinct level.
I have followed Dr. Paul for many years and am excited about our opportunity to share his message with the rest of the nation. I and a friend traveled to Texas this summer to meet Ron at his birthday party. Great time!

 

[jordie]

Hi All,

I'm Jordie and I have to say I Ron Paul seems awesome. I'm unfortunately not an American, so I can't contribute to the campaign for vote for him. I'm from Sydney, Australia, but I'm still keen on global politics. I see Ron Paul as undoubtedly the best candidate for an American President. With someone like that, America will again be the best example of freedom and liberty us lil' countries can look up to again.

I'm eager to help out in any way I can. I would love to join in on the TeaParty, but again, I can't! I'll be joining the international forum here to see how I can contribute though.

Cheers!

 

[JDM]

Good Day All,

My name is Jon and I work as a U.S. Military Contractor in Kuwait. I have liked Ron Paul for a while now but just recently found this website. There is a lot of great info here. Everyone is doing an excellent job. I sincerely hope that Ron Paul becomes president of the United States for the sake of my children, grandchildren and all of my future generations. The way our country is sliding now I am afraid that my future family will not get to enjoy the United States and all it has to offer the way that I have.

I was not aware of the Nov 5 fundraiser for Mr. Paul until the article's started pouring out about how well he did. Well I will certainly make up for this come Decemeber. Mr. Paul is the absolutely best hope for our country. I wish him and you all the very best.

Greetings! I'm in the Panama City, Florida Meet Up Group and we are ON FIRE for Ron Paul. We just had a very successful Ron Paul Freedom Jam-Fest last Saturday in the park downtown. GOGOGO RON PAUL 2008!

 

[fufurios]

Hello to all people,

I'm Ingo, 36 years old, technical constructor and musician and I'm living in Dortmund/Germany.
I'm supporting Ron Paul as good as I can.

I'm spreading his massage wherever I can. You all know why.
And I'm criticizing all the German media, who don't write any words about Ron Paul.

I'm also a supporter against the German law of the"Telecommunications data retention", witch is directly an effect on the "war on terror" (Patriot Act). If this kind of foreign-politics will continue its way, it' s only a question of time that we in Germany will get our own Patriot Act.
And that is definitive the wrong way.

I'm spreading Ron Paul's massage on my Myspace-site (www.myspace.com/chemicalbreeze) and blog, in the German Myspace-forum, many other political forums and I comment on some bad media-articles about the elections in the US. Always on search to debunk and to vote for Ron Paul in international polls.

My next project: Our new drummer is coming from L.A....

Sorry for my bad English: I'm working on it.

Best wishes
Ingo

 

[Kaiser87]

Hey all

Hey everyone name is Ken Kaiser from Tarboro NC and just wanted to introduce myself. I have been following Ron Paul for a few months now and gave on the 5th and plan to do it again the 16th. Anyhow look forward to meeting you all and if you have the time check out my blog (wrote a piece on why I support Ron Paul):
http://ancpdiscussions.blogspot.com/
http://ancpblog.blogspot.com/
Both are mainly my political ideas. Funny thing is most people are surprised when I say I support Ron Paul, after all I have been called a "Fascist" a number of times. For the record though, I don't consider myself a fascist

 

[ashevillejerry]

Greetings,

I am a paralegal, long time libertarian activist, very invigorated by the Ron Paul campaign. I have a website, RonPaulMax.com specially designed as a directory of resources for donors who have already given the legal maximum to Ron Paul.

There are many independent projects organized out there, but many of them may not be in compliance with all the campaign finance regulations. For people putting a few bucks into a ChipIn fund here and there, it will probably never turn out to be a problem. However, donors who are giving thousands of dollars will need to connect with projects with all the legal bases well covered. RonPaulMax.com was designed as a directory of projects for such donors.

If you know of projects designed for such donors, please submit them so I can add them to the directory.

Thank you.

Yours in Liberty,

Jerry

Hello all,

I'm a 23 year old recently married guy who really woke up recently, if you'll allow a quick story.

I just graduated from college and am still looking for work and was worried about the price of things lately, mostly food and gasoline; remember I used to be a stalwart Bush supporter, even walking 7 miles to meetings in college. I found an old receipt in an old pair of jeans from Wal Mart with food items on it I had purchased earlier. I was angry at having to pay as much as I did at the same store for similar items so I compared against it and was upset to realize the cost of the same items had risen nearly 49% from a year ago. In this case it was non-dairy coffee creamer.

I've been of the mindset that the country is ripe for violent revolt without any true recourse against the steady influx of government tyranny and the Federal Reserve with control over our lives. I'm still not entirely unconvinced it won't come to physical resistance; but I'm throwing my last ditch hope into Ron Paul after leaving the Republican party, I re registered to vote for him the in the primary. Even though I've been unemployed for 3 months I'll find it in the budget to donate $100 for the Tea Party event this December.

But Dr. Paul is right, things have to change. My degree is in Merchandising Management in Apparel and Textiles and I heard the marvels of NAFTA, CAFTA, and trade with China. I started digging in for reports on these activities and discovered that the country and the people don't benefit, but the owners do. It wasn't simple class warfare, it was wholesale export. So my scope may be limited to the the apparel and textile sector, but I became aware of it through the nonsense of how great Maquilladoras (manufacturing towns close to the border of the US in Mexico) were.

My wife is a pre-med student who is often frustrated by the system and said "Well what about health care?" she's not as rapid as I may be (in fact she's a lamb) but when she looked it up she said "That's it, that's all I needed. He's my man."

Even if he doesn't make it this time, I want to give it one more chance, or else we truly lose everything. So instead of being apathetic I'm going to try, like so many others are. I understand the rapid support of this man, there's too much going on to ignore.

I'm Abe from Half Moon Bay, CA and I work at Stanford University. I have been a lifelong liberal and fairly new to Ron Paul, but he has my full support and admiration. Glad to be here, and I look forward to this campaign!
