Ron Paul Write In
Many people have written many valid arguments in this thread when it comes to voting for either Baldwin or Barr or Nader or Obama or McCain. I have tossed around multiple scenarios in my mind, power plays, lesser of two evils, etc etc and I always keep coming back around to the same simple answer: Write in Ron Paul.
If it wasn't for Dr. Paul, I would still be a sheep. I would still have the same straight forward approach to everything political; government, two party systems, the federal reserve, and our role as a Nation in this world. This past year and a half has been amazing with the opportunity to be involved in the Ron Paul campaign. From the first debate that turned me on to Dr. Paul's ideas, watching him OWN every other person on stage with common sense and logical thought, to observing the grassroots spring up from every corner of this country, igniting passion that I have never seen before for any candidate in my lifetime, to the hard push to get everyone I knew to at least listen to his words, to creating a couple of commercials and joining the ranks of the YouTube explosion for Ron Paul. It has been a fulfilling experience.
It has also had it's bruises, with the constant battle with the MSM, convincing others Dr. Paul isn't just an old 'kook' that should be written off, internal battles between all the different cultures Paul brings together, and ultimately, the Republican party's snub of Paul and his ideas.
This journey as a movement, and for me as an individual has been leading up to this one moment. I know that with the electoral college and voter fraud and diebold machines and groups like ACORN etc etc etc that there is a good chance that my one vote won't count in the analytical sense. But, I have come to realize that my vote means so much MORE than that. When I write in Ron Paul's name on Tuesday, it is a summation of the blood, sweat and tears that I and so many other people have put into their beliefs. It is a vote of confidence that although the majority, because of numerous reasons, are not selecting the best candidate... on Tuesday, I am. And that is what the last year and a half has led me to. We all fought in our own ways to get here, and although this is just the beginning stages of the movement and the work that is ahead, it is the end of our Genesis chapter. So on Tuesday, I will always remember that I voted with confidence, I voted with conviction, I voted with a heart full of thankfulness and passion, I voted for Ron Paul.
