Which form of media won you to Ron Paul?

[ronpaulfollower999]

Alex Jones

And this too. He first opened my eyes to the left vs. right illusion.

 

[Kingfisher]

None of the above.
Learned about R.P. 10 or 12 yrs. ago through the John Birch Society.

He was the the guy who ALWAYS voted pro Constitution.

What took you so long to start spreading the word?!

Don't equate a forum membership to activity. I've been active in politics for 25 years. I joined the forum for this contest because he has a far more realistic chance at the nomination than he did in 08

First, a friend told me to check Ron Paul out, back in 2006-2007... which sparkled my attention to what was being said about RP on Reddit. And then, of course, Youtube.

 

[KingNothing]

Reason.com turned me on to Ron Paul in the very early stages of the last campaign, and Ron's dismantling of Rudy in the debate completely won me over.

I remember a friend telling me "My boy Rudy smacked your boy Paul around the other day! Did you see that?!"

Worst poll ever. It should have five options involving the internet. C'mon now! Start over. Stupid poll.

Sometime in the earily/mid 2000s from an email newsletter from The Advocates for Self Government:
http://theadvocates.org/newsletter

“The Advocates has made invaluable contributions to the freedom cause. For over twenty years, the Advocates has worked tirelessly to help libertarians better communicate the ideas of liberty. I continue to be impressed by the Advocates' work."

I voted for MSM debate, but really youtube won me over.

 

[Sola_Fide]

Hard to say. I remember reading some of his articles on LRC a long time ago...then the debates in 08 put me over the edge. Then I totally disavowed politics for years, then Rand drew me back in. Then Ron ran again.

You tube in April 2011 after watching the Money Masters Vids all 22

 

[heavenlyboy34]

Pretty sure it was on Charles Goyette's show in '07, but don't remember for sure.

 

[JohnCrabtree]

I was first introduced to Ron Paul in an editorial in Backwoods Home Magazine in probably January or February of 2007

Alex Jones

 

[DanConway]

None of the above. The first time I heard about him standing alone in Congress -- alone on the side of the Constitution -- on so many votes and read a couple of his Texas Straight Talk columns, I knew he was by far the best legislator the US government had.

 

[TruthisTreason]

The media (debates) turned me on, but the internet finished the job.

 

[FlatIron]

last May, Someone showed me a youtube video of him in congress, talking about the war on libya

 

[bbartlog]

A funny little paper brochure that was handed to me on a college campus in 1988, comparing the Dems and Republicans to Tweedledum and Tweedledee. Ron Paul literature for when he was running on the Libertarian ticket. I didn't follow his career closely in the ten years after but would certainly have supported him for president at any time after that initial seed was planted.

 

[mad cow]

Books.
I didn't have internet until 1999,didn't have a fast enough connection for you tube until last year.
I joined the Libertarian party in the mid '80s, after decades of just wanting to be left alone by those in D.C.,realizing
that they would never leave me alone,I would have to fight them.
I still dream of the day when it won't matter who is elected to power in D.C.,when they are all bound by the chains
of the Constitution and can't affect my liberty.

I started subscribing to his website in like 2004 after I read a quote from him. At that time I would say "there is only one person in gov't I like and that's Ron Paul from Texas".
