For the first time in a hell of a long time, I have found a candidate that brings me hope.
I want a president that will bring our troops home. I want a president that will fight to return our freedom and security from those in power. I want a president that will reduce government spending and rein in the inflation and debt that is devaluing our currency.
Ron Paul is a constitutional conservative running for the office of President of the United States in 2008. He is running on the Republican ticket (don't hold that against him).
While I may not agree with him on everything, he does stand for states rights, freedom and personal liberty.
I invite you to take a look at his Issues Page and his Voting Record.
I am going to go to order some yard signs on the Fifth of November to show my support and help (in my small way) with this donation event.
Tennessee has an open Primary Election so as long as you are registered to vote all you have to do is walk in and ask for a Republican ballot on 2/5/08.
You can check HERE for the type, dates and other information on the Caucus and Primary Schedule for your state.
Check out these videos:

While I am here, I want to post a link to a Constitution Class that I watched online. A lot of really good information, a lot of information that I did not know (and some that I had a hard time swallowing). It did a lot to help me understand what a Constitutional Conservative really is.
Thanks for listening.

This is an awesome read. It has settled the few doubts that I still had. It is nice to see the explanations for why he voted one way or the other on various issues.

This is just funny.

Ok, a drinking game. Take one drink every time the blond says the word 'Terrorist' you will be totally smashed. I am impressed by the open mindedness of the other 3. IMO the crowd showed a lot of support for RP (or his ideas). I think it would be interesting to see him on The View
Ron Paul gets people talking on "The View"
Ohh this is cool!

Ronald Reagan speaking in 1964
Sounds a lot like Ron Paul.
Reagan was not perfect, but he was the last President that I actually respected.
Opps on the large image. Looked fine on my screen. /blush |

"On December 16th, 1773, American colonists dumped tea into the Boston Harbor to protest an
oppressive tax. This December 16th, American citizens will dump millions of dollars into the
Ron Paul presidential campaign to protest the oppressive and unconstitutional inflation tax
(which has enabled a flawed foreign policy, a costly war and the sacrificing
of our liberties here at home)...."

Rudy's Reading List
November 30th, 2007 Ron Paul Mass Donation Day
"Find out what Rudy doesn't know!"
In an effort to get Dr Paul as much exposure as possible for the month of December, the campaign has asked for donations sooner than the Dec 16 fund raiser. As a result Trevor (Nov 5th guy) set up this cute site. It has links to the the books that Dr Paul cited as necessary reading for Rudy to understand why 9-11 happened.
Donate at the official site on Nov 30th.
Ron Paul+donate$=Liberty!

"Watch the Republican candidates answer YOUR questions on live TV!"
Tonight is the 2008 CNN/YouTube Republican Debate: November 28, 2007
I could only stand about 15min of the Dem debate. There was only one decent soundbite I have seen posted. Maybe the GOP will be more entertaining. 
And if you can.. please make a DONATION to Dr Paul on Nov 30!

The National Presidential Caucus has announced that the results are in for the Dec 7th National Caucus!
Barack Obama Wins Democrat Caucuses; Ron Paul Dominates Both GOP And "Open" Caucuses
"On December 7, 2007 across the country, Democrat, Republican and Open Caucus groups formed independently and Caucused on National Caucus Day. The First National Presidential Caucus is now history and the results are in.
Results were tallied from 19 Caucus groups (Republican, Democrat, and Open) that met on Friday, December 7th, 2007 in Dallas, TX (2D); Sarcoxie, MO (O); Boise, ID (R); Needham, MA (D); Carthage, MO (O); Manhattan, KS (D & R); Pineville, MO (O); Richmond, MO (O); Costa Mesa, CA (O); Springfield MO (R); Winston-Salem, NC (O); Overland Park, KS (R); New York City, NY (O); and Joplin, MO (R), Warrensburg, MO (R), Roselle Park, NK (D), and Philadelphia, PA (O).
Barack Obama wins over Democrat voters generating 40% of Democrat Caucus voter preferences. Obama was followed by a three-way tie for second, with John Edwards, Bill Richardson and "Undecided" each generating 20% of Democratic Caucus preferences.
"On the Republican side, Ron Paul obliterated the field for the GOP
generating the preference of 50% of GOP Caucuses. Mike Huckabee and
Fred Thompson follow, generating 33.3% and 16.6% of Republican Caucus
preferences, respectively.
Among votes in Open Caucuses, Ron Paul wins with 62.5% of Open Caucus votes, followed by Barack Obama (18.75%), Fred Thompson (12.5%), and Hilary Clinton (6.25%).
Some caucuses used multiple voting rounds with minimum vote thresholds to give citizens a chance to change their minds and switch candidate preferences, but all meetings were built on a first round of issue discussion and deliberation. Multiple rounds of voting were not prohibited and each group was encouraged to create the most engaging caucus format possible. However, threshold voting eliminates all but the top vote-getters. While that may have been the intention for some groups, the NPC feels obligated to recognize the efforts and opinions of all caucus goers.
Issue results reflected opposition to Iraq involvement, foreign intervention in general, and health care, immigration and erosion of civil liberties rounding out the top concerns of all Caucus goers.
Self-organized and independent, most gatherings were small, informal discussion sessions, while others attracted hundreds of participants including party officials and campaign operatives in a raucous bid for supporters. The NPC feels that the results at each caucus is of greatest importance and relevance to those in that caucus room and to that local community where those ideas were exchanged, relationships were created, passions were shared. We believe this is social capital formation at its finest."

Go Ron Paul!!!

What an amazing mission you and I are on. What great ideas we uphold -- the legacy of the most important thinkers of liberty in our country's history, and the most important doers of liberty in America. At the top of that list are the donors and volunteers of this campaign.
I could spend all my time thanking personally you and everyone who has done so much for our country's future, and not scratch the surface of what justice demands. But I want you to know how much I owe you, and everyone dedicated to the real America. You and I know our real country -- the America of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, of economic, civil, and personal liberty, of strong families and communities, of great businesses and professions, of strong peace and low taxes and sound money-all of which are under assault by the politicians who occupy our nation's capital.
With your help -- and I can't do anything without your help -- I want to change all that. Together, we can restore our constitutional republic, and oust the mountebanks who violate the ideals of the Founders with income taxes, Federal Reserve inflation, deficit spending, preemptive wars, torture, secret prisons, and abolition of habeas corpus.
How thrilling too are all the great Independent efforts in this cause, involving so many tens of thousands of patriots. Of course, since they are Independent, the election laws to do not allow me to coordinate with them in any way. But I will mention that this Sunday, I am really going to enjoy my tea at a party!
We are making real progress. And goodness knows we need to. Help me keep our revolution going and growing. For freedom, peace, and prosperity, for the real America, all our
generosity and hard work are justified.
Sincerely,
Ron
