The Politicker

And They Will Know His Name Is Ron Paul

At the Ron Paul headquarters in Concord this afternoon, 16 volunteers were phonebanking.

"We're not getting anyone who says 'I don't know who Ron Paul is,' the situation we were in four or five months ago," said a young volunteer named Chris. "We're looking to place well, in what they call the top tier."

Among the volunteers was Logan Darrow Clements, who ran for governor of California in the recall election of 2003. He had flown in last night from California. He said his project over the next two days was to let "the wishy-washy people know there's a real movement afoot."

He said that he had had to move his politics a bit to fit in with Paul. "I'm an Objectivist," he said. "I'm a little more hawkish than he is."

"If there's someone who's got his hands free to carry these into my S.U.V., that'd be great," he said to the room.

He was moving some eight-foot-long Ron Paul signs.

Ron Paul is the only candidate who understands our monetary system and knows what our foreign policy SHOULD be. He does not take money from big business and is totally "For the People". He can think on his feet and is extremely intelligent and will make a fine president. Our enemies above all, will know that he can be trusted. He will open the doors to allow other countries to work with us and we will be able to gain their respect again. We do not want to be feared or be afraid. Vote Ron Paul. ronpaullibrary.com, ronpauldaily, ronpaul2008.

Hopefully Murdock has just put himself out of business by this blatant exclusion of Ron Paul. This is democracy? Murdock has viotlated every citizens the right to vote by not presenting all the candidates. Murdock should be arrested. THis is the problem with big business sticking their nose into government! A perfect example. Let's roll. Get our Constitution back!

I recently voulenteered to be the Precinct captian for my area to help elect Ron Paul! He is the bravest political figure since Kennedy, who was assasinated for singing a bill that stripped power from the FED. Ron Paul will lead the USA to freedom, prosperity, and liberty. We will have the best homeland defense since before WW2 (all the troops at home). And for the first time since 1926, our currancy should turn around and start to appreciate with out the FED's control and expansion of the money supply. FYI if you dont know, the FED is pringing/counterfitting our dollars like they were doritos. This is not an "eat all you want, we'll make more" kind of problem though! This is the same battle from the time of Moases who OUTLAWED USARY! We have let the money changers back into our world, and they have ruined it. It's up to US to ELECT RON PAUL to stop them from ruining America!

PEACE, LOVE, AND GOD BLESS US ALL
But MOST OF ALL, PRAY FOR RON PAUL!!!!!

To all Ron Paul Supporters - Fox News could not allow Ron Paul to participate in the debates tonight. There are many reasons why. His views don't fit the typical molding of "Today's FOX News Republican". You know: Sean Hannity, Brit Hume, Chris Wallace, Bill Kristol or Bill O'Reilly. Ron Paul wants to bring the troops home. This doesn't make sense to FOX News. More soldiers have died in Iraq than civilians did on 9/11. Because of this statistic, Ron Paul would ask "Who's really winning the war on Terror?" We can't have questions like that raised. Why people must be afraid so that the stereo-typical Fox News Republican politician can run his campaign on the "I'll be your big brother-just hand over your civil liberties-and I'll save you!" We hope you understand. Sincerely - Your "Fair & Balanced" FOX News Channel

When I heard about the Faux Snooze snub of Ron Paul, I donated MORE money to his campaign.

I will vote for Ron Paul and will use my influence to help others to make the right decision also. It is time for America to have a man like Ron Paul in the White House. I have researched and found him to be the only one that I would take the time to go out and vote for in this election.

As the pendalum swings we are once again at Valley Forge fighting for our freedomm. It almost seems an insurmountable task to try to reach out and grasp the golden prize. Don't be faint of heart and always be respectful: Just carry on the fight, because the prize is made from the dreams of our childrens children.
