Little story to add to this...
A few months ago I told my father and stepmother about Ron Paul. Me and my brother both did. We talked all about how great he was and his voting record while my father kinda sat there, not saying much, not impressed. Casually looking for holes.
My Father is a registered democrat who has a very large network of friends.
Once he heard about Ron Paul's position of leaving things up to the states, he said he would never vote for Ron Paul. Flabbergasted I asked why. He said "states righters caused all of the racial problems, the separate but equal doctrine, and all sorts of other problems."
I tried to explain how Ron Paul could never vote like that, but he refused. Wouldn't even consider it.
Fast forward 4 months. I came by the house and found my father paying attention to Ron Paul's donation numbers(post 5th).
A few days later, my father sent an email out to everyone he knew:
"Since the politicans don't seem to get it (same old same old) I am
going to make a donation Dec. 16 to the Ron Paul campaign, the next
big fund raising event. The last one raised 4.2 million in one day. I
encourage everyone to do the same. I feel this is a vote for honesty,
forthrightness (no, I disagree with some of his positions) and a
return to some fundamentals that made our country great.
I feel that another multimillion dollar day will get even more
attention. I noticed in the last republican youtube debate, some of
them were espousing more of his stands. Do I believe them??? Will they
actually do what they say??? yeah, right.
Same for the democrats.......
I encourage you to forward this to all your friends.

I never thought it could happen after his adamant refusal months before. But on the 16th, we both donated.
Piece by piece, person by person, this revolution is taking over. At the pace we are going, we really can win.
