The Greatest Grassroots Campaign in Political History: IGNORED BY BIG MEDIA
The greatest grassroots campaign in the history of American politics has been summarily ignored and shunned by the large media.
Yes, you read that right. The greatest grassroots campaign in the HISTORY OF AMERICAN POLITICS. IGNORED BY THE MEDIA.
The Ron Paul campaign is centered around a man who is not a media sensation or a media creation. The campaign is centered around an individual who does not seek power and control over others. The campaign is centered around an individual who avoids shadiness and corruption like the plague. A man who is honest, has integrity, and cares fundamentally about America and the amazing freedoms that were granted when the Revolutionaries of 1776 broke off from the yoke of oppressive, central government. These men asserted all individuals’ natural rights.
So a grassroots campaign has grown around this man who fights for the protection of our natural rights via the respect of the U.S. Constitution. The job of the president is to protect and defend the Constitution from all enemies foreign and domestic. The Constitution protects our rights as free individuals and limits the government from oppressively entering into our lives and controlling us on a whim.
The grassroots campaign that grew around the support of Ron Paul has done everything in their power to earn a respectable place in the national consciousness. Through individual efforts, the Ron Paul grassroots campaign raised $4 million in a single day in early November. Then, in mid-December, the growing group broke the ALL-TIME SINGLE DAY RECORD bringing in $6 million in one 24 hour period. This was reported in the media, but was it reported in the amazing way it should have been? Did this vault Ron Paul into the key “front runners circle” that the large media has had such immense control over? The answer is no. The media summarily ignored Ron Paul and his campaign very soon thereafter.
Ron Paul’s supporters have organized to dominate most local straw polls around the country. They have dominated nearly every online poll and both online and text polls after every single Republican debate. Has this vaulted Ron Paul into the media “front runners circle”? No. They ignore him and figuratively spit on his hard working supporters.
When Ron Paul does get a rare interview or report, at times he is treated fairly, but most often he has been treated like a second class citizen, called a “long shot”, dismissed as a “kook” and treated generally in a way unbecoming of any respectable interviewer. Like I said, there are exceptions, but the rule is patently ugly treatment by a more and more despicable traditional media.
The mis-treatment and lack of respect have forced the grassroots campaign onto the internet and into the streets. The Ron Paul campaign dominates MySpace, Youtube, Digg, Facebook and far outpaces any other candidate in terms of Meetup groups and Meetup members. Does this get reported? No. Ron Paul has signed up over 12,000 volunteers as local precinct coordinators to walk their local neighborhoods passing out literature and getting to know their neighbors. Reported? No.
Ron Paul’s supporters have organized hundreds of marches, thousands of sign wavings, numerous other small fundraisers, as well as starting hundreds of websites dedicated to the race. Ron Paul’s website is the most visited out of any campaign in the Republican race and goes toe-to-toe with Obama’s out of any campaign period. Reported? Not much, if at all.
Ron Paul’s 2008 presidential campaign has seen a tremendous groundswell of independent support form many hundreds of thousands of very passionate, intelligent and caring supporters across the country. Lovers of America, patriots of this great country, individuals dedicated to the Constitution, restrained government, and who care about our natural unalienable rights as independent human beings. This amazing groundswell has been shunned and pushed to the side by the large traditional media. Supporters have been told “he can’t win” and he has been kept out of the big media “winner’s circle”. It is a sham and a travesty.
I am here today to tell you that the Ron Paul 2008 campaign has witnessed the greatest grassroots support in the history of American politics. I am also here to tell you that the large media has ignored and battled against this campaign.
These two facts should tell you something. If you care about your unalienable rights as a free citizen, you should seriously consider supporting Ron Paul. If you care about these rights as well as the government protecting them rather than stripping them away, you should be very annoyed and upset with the old media. I know I am amazed and pretty pissed. From what I have observed, the media do not care about your rights and they do not care about you. If you care about America, you will think about finding an alternative or demanding a change.
The future of freedom and limited government rests in your hands. So far, the media have shown what side they are on.
In liberty,

I’m still pondering (unintentional joke there) WHY the media blackout. I am intensely aware of all the theories, but haven’t settled on an answer yet.

Like you mentioned, the supporters are intelligent people. As you may have figured out by now, they are a distinct minority!!!
YOU AND MME AND ALL THE REST WILL TAKE ON THE BIG BAD ZIONIST CONTROLLED MEDIA AND SHOW THEM THAT WE FREE MINDED AMERICANS CAN TAKE OVER THIS COUNTRY AND RETURN IT TO CONSTITUTIONAL RULES!!!
HOO YAHH

Superb video. Nice going! I love that Ron Paul is so squeaky clean that you can only find his name on http://www.factcheck.org in reference to something someone else was saying.
Everyone who defends their candidate should be told about http://www.factcheck.org so they can see how truthful, honest and ethical their candidate really is.
Media corperations is our biggest threat to our freedoms to Americans when they manipulate outcomes of our leaders which is fascisim.
Kemp–even if Ron could get voted in as a leader of the Republicians—they are doomed until the next 8 year cycle. Assume that he and his party win the 2008 election–his colleges will eat him alive. If they wouldn’t,he’d end up like JFK. The problem with Paul is that he is not enough Zionist and not a hack for Israel.The Jewish big money is on Hitlary and Johnie McCain, He will make sure that Hillary gets all the necessary votes to please Israel and Bomb Bomb Iran.
No hope for Ron Paul–the system is broke and crooked. Try Edwards–some chance of repairing broken America. Cheers!
Unfortunately it took segregationist Governor Wallace to reveal the truth that “there’s not a dime’s worth of difference between” Republicans and Democrats. The Democrats willingly went along with the War in Iraq, suspension of Habeas Corpus, detaining protesters, banning books like “America Deceived’ from Amazon, stealing private lands (Kelo decision), warrant-less wiretapping and refusing to investigate 9/11 properly. They are both guilty of treason.
Support Dr. Ron Paul and save this great nation.

Excellent article. From my perspective, the politically, powerful, elite want Ron Paul to follow in Dennis Kucinich and Mike Gravel’s footsteps. Will he be the next candidate to drop out of the debates and then the Presidential race?
The media has ignored the common people of this grassroots movement. … And these people have ignored the media. That’s why Ron Paul supporters continue to be motivated. They pay no attention to the old time so called MSM. They KNOW it’s a lie. and just like the candidate they support, they have no interest in lies. since the MSM cannot be counted on to report the truth, a new way of sharing information - over the internet sites mentioned - has evolved. Now that’s real good ole American ingenuity for ya.

Dear Sir,
I have read article: (The Greatest Grassroots.. etc.),people who run America dont want a leader, they want a puppet. I really dont want to waste your time by giving details; you know the whole story. It is abvious that your strategy does not work. please, reexamine your strategy .The Grassroots People need to have thier own media, tv station, newspaper, radio station ; Am and Fm.. without these instruments, they cannot do it, period. Keep up the good work,please, I wish you the best…
sincerely,
Hamid Eid
It’s a GoD Damn Shame! Frustrating! Makes it blatantly obvious what is really going on here and who really ones this country.
Very similar thing has happened to John Edwards - just not to the extreme.
I am primarily a Dem - initially supported Edwards but have bought into Ron PAUL!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9KReZyAZLI0
Read the Book 1984.
Thanks for the comments people. Very thought provoking. I hope the people of America will continue to wake up. From what I have witnessed, the momentum has continued in spite of the black out from the declining old media. I think they are really shooting themselves in the foot and the decline should continue. It will be interesting to witness the goings-on of the next 10 years. A real crossroads for America and its people. Best to all of you!
[...] Background note from Ponder This: http://www.ponderthis.net/2008/01/26/the-greatest-grassroots-campaign-in-political-history-ignored-b... [...]
I’m from India and the mainstream media here is no different. In the international news section, they mention only the so called ‘frontrunners’. Absolutely no mention of Ron Paul.
One reason for that is that the entire media here is also controlled by none other than Rupert Murdoch. Ever since he bought most of the media here, indians are getting dumbed down with reality shows, idiotic ‘breaking news’ stories about some actor who drove a car etc etc. Hell, now we get movie reviews on the news channels, that too for nothing less than an hour! And of course we hear the regular bull about the phone ‘war on terror’
Most of the people I know have stopped watching TV and get their news/information from the internet.
FYI- I interact regularly with hundreds of americans daily in my line of work and I’m surprised that almost no one I talk to knows about Dr.Paul! All they say it that the system stinks and they’re not going to vote.
So I direct them to his website and they almost always get back to me with positive words for the man and his message….
What happens in the US affects the entire world. Your country is going down a dangerous path that has serious consequences for not just you but for the rest of the world as well. I sincerely hope that America chooses the right path…
As I have said many times the media is the most powerful weapon in history. They decide who is a hero and who is a terrorist. They can end the career of anyone overnight. They can start wars through propaganda that comes into every living room 24/7,newspapers and radio. When you have the same people who controll the money also along with their helpers you have all the power. Until the media,and money controll is broken there can be no chance of change!
Thank you for the honest journalism.
The big media is in the hands of a few (go to youtube and see the movie clip from “Network” if you’ve never watched it) and these few have their own agenda. It’s called fascism, people. When corporate interests are above the people’s, we have a problem,
Ron Paul is for change!
The media, congress the senate, the white house and the establishment have one thing in common, “Israel”. Ron Paul wants to unify the country to take back our Constitution and the freedoms we fought so hard for. Bring ALL of our soldiers home and defend our borders. We don’t belong over everywhere. With Ron Paul people and lives count, including those million plus innocent Iraq people who have lost their lives in an illegal, undeclared war. US Iraq veterans are committing suicide at a greater rate than all the US lives lost in Iraq and Afghanistan, and 25% are homeless.
Ron Paul is proving that the people of America really do care about their country and freedom for all, and he is willing to take on all comers who would differ. Embrace our constitution and KEEP OUR TROOPS AT HOME WHERE THEY BELONG. At HOME! Vote RON PAUL!!! EMBARGO THE MEDIA!!! Cancel your subscriptions and don’t buy from those that advertise with media that freezes out YOUR RIGHT TO A FREE AND OPEN PRESS.
FIGHT BACK!!!

To give some background on myself, I’m an American first then a conservative. I would agree that Ron Paul hasn’t gotten covered by the press, but don’t you have to look at other reasons for this? He hasn’t received more than 10% of the vote so why should he be given coverage?
I’ll admit that I don’t know enough about Ron Paul but isn’t this the guy that says we shouldn’t have the FBI or CIA and that prostitution should be legal?
If you have such a large grassroots effort but can’t get more than 10% of the vote, you have to start wondering wether it’s you (Ron Paul) that’s the problem and not the media.
This revolution has to spread worldwide.
I live in Denmark, Europe, and im following this very heavily.
I wont try depict anything, but it looks like the European Union is going the same way, and will be the same way, as USA is now. Scary thought, I must confess.
I FEEL FOR YOU AMERICA;
WE NEED TO SPREAD THE WORD;
FREEDOM CAN BE REACHED!
RON PAUL FOR PRESIDENT 2008 !
Thank you for your article. How long can ‘they’ keep it quite? . . .”even the rocks will sing out.” Go Ron Paul!

I actually find more news coverage on Ron Paul on media web sites in England, Holand, Iran, Italy, Spain and other countrys now. I gave up on american MSM.
Hey Mike,
Watch Freedom to Facism or watch any movie on the Federal Reserve system..search it on YouTube or GOOGLE video and you’ll know why the media blacks Ron Paul out.
Of course it’s blatantly obvious to anyone interested that Ron Paul is being sidelined by the mainstream and this will cost him the nomination. This is extremely bad news and points to the fact that the US is not really a true democracy. If this was happening during the Russian presidential campaign we would be hearing all about it on the BBC, etc. Saying all that I am, however concerned that people are getting so tangled up in conspiracy theories, etc. that they may unconciously be alienating Ron Paul from middle of the road voters who will consider him and his followers crazies - something he is not. Good Luck and be careful to keep your eyes on the ball. Marek. Prague. CZ.
there has to be a way to make our voice heard. maybe a concentrated effort of some sort. I wish Ron Paul could win the Florida Primary, then he would be on the radar, and the man behind the curtain would get exposed finally.
why haven’t we heard any commercials for Ron Paul?
I know someone out there has a great idea that could break through the mainstream media.
Ron Paul will not “drope out” he hasn’t dropped out in 34 years!! or changed his message.
It’s US I’m worried about, will WE drop out??? Not me, donate , what you can afford… I believe most of us can afford at least ONE dollar to Ron Paul’s campaign and put a bumper sticker on your automobile, bicycle, Harley, etc. etc. etc.
Ron Paul needs to challenge the election fraud. It appears he is going to allow Super Tuesday to happen without ever telling his supporters to demand a transparent vote count.
Why wait til after it’s stolen, then call for a recount? Request- no, Demand - a public vote count in every precinct.
Hey, bottom line here — don’t like the MSM’s treatment so far of Dr. Ron?
Then put your money where your mouth is: cancel your cable or satellite TV service. And cancel any paid print or electronic subscriptions you have put out by the MSM.
Figure out what you’re buying now that supports the profits of the MSM, then stop buying it.
Duh!!!!!
And if you get hit with a $$$ penalty for early cancellation of anything, cancel it anyways, pay the penalty, and quit bitchin about the MSM!
Don’t be a hypocrit bitchin here about the MSM while keeping your cable or satellite service cause you hate Fox News, but can’t correspondingly live without the NFL football package.
And no “WAHHH, I agree but need my cable or satellite service to maintain a broadband Internet connection. So get dial-up service for $10/month, basic local-only telephone service for another $20/month, and buy LD calling cards for your hard-line. You can get all the news you want from the Internet for only $10/month, that’s what I do.
And no “WAHHH, I need my cable and satellite package cause it’s tied in with my wireless. Cancel it anyways, and get prepaid wireless and stop goof texting 20x per day.
MSM’s like Fox News just laugh when they read all the rant postings against them, then notice nobody has stopped buying their shit!
You can always renew anything you’ve cancelled AFTER the Presidential Election this year.
GO RON PAUL!!!!!
What free enterprise company purposely alienates 15% of their customers? Even people who don’t know about Ron Paul yet or who consider him their second choice, or who are just interested in politics would be interested in news about him. So 30-50% of the media audience would expect Ron Paul news as part of their political news. So, what profit seeking company alienates 30-50% of their customers? As a Ron Paul supporter’s Mother said to him when the infamous Fox News “Forum” was broadcast, “Where’s Ron Paul?”
Now that we have mobilized 10% plus PEOPLE, some with computers and some without, in 50 states, the old media has proven that they filter our news for us. THEY proved it. Not us.
Every new Ron Paul supporter that we create during our precinct walking turns to their television and radio and says the same thing as Del’s Mom, “Where’s Ron Paul?”
The video brought a tear to my eye. FINALLY, Americans are fed up and doing what they can to reign in an out-of-control government. Ron Paul is fortunate to have such marvelous people on his side. Our side.
Great Article…go to http://www.highlandmediaworks.com/ronpaulad2
to download a free, professional ad for your local TV/Radio stations….the campaign is recommending the ads and they are playing all over the USA….GO RON PAUL!!!
Well Orwell was not that far off with his 1984 book. Yes 1984 is long gone, or has it. The year is 2008, 24 years after 1984. But did you know one thing, the Republican Party today has the exact same Platform as the Democratics did in 1984. Scary isn’t it. In just a short 24 years Republicans turned into Democrats.
There is only one person to vote for, that is the person that still has the same platform as 1776, Ron Paul.
The question is “WHY?” Might the answer be that 95% of the media is owned by 5 corporations? Who is Rupert Murdoch supporting? Why Hillary Clinton, of course. Look into it. The truth is out there.
Thank you for this great article. Dr. Paul’s message is getting out in spite of the big media’s attempts to marginalize him.
It is maddening, tho, he took second in both LA and NV, but still the major media report on that crook Giuliani as a “front runner” in spite of the fact that Paul has beat him in every primary/caucus but one.
The Ron Paul 2008 Campaign has released the following new hirings:
John Tate is a 25-year veteran of Republican politics. He has worked on dozens of local, state and national campaigns, was a key organizer in Pat Robertson’s 1988 presidential bid, and ran for Congress in 1986. Mr. Tate was instrumental in the Paul campaign’s top tier finishes in Nevada and Louisiana.
Mark Elam is a veteran Texas political consultant and a long-time aid to Dr. Paul. Mr. Elam serves as campaign manager to Dr. Paul’s congressional re-election campaign. In 1996, Mr. Elam directed Dr. Paul’s historic victory of Democrat-turned Republican Greg Laughlin in the district 14 congressional race.
Please continue to donate to the money bombs. Ron Paul’s campaign spending will be methodical, insuring the best use of all donations.
Yours in support of Ron Paul for President,
Open, free market competition will immediately solve such problems as monopolized media so as long as the there is a competing currency to the federal reserve notes. Monopolized currency is the root of our problems and this issue must be dealt with in order to restore free market everywhere else. This election is far more exciting than the Super Bowl.
Thank you for this article on a great man. “Consistent, principled integrity” sums it up. Dr. Paul never wavers, never flip flops, yet is open-minded, fair and respectful as he stands in his truth.
Shame on the media for blatantly pushing aside this candidate who truly understands what America is all about. One wonders what they are afraid we will learn.
The theories are many, but the fact is, Ron Paul DOES have a huge grassroots effort, and the old media DOES essentially ignore and shun the campaign. Whatever the reasons behind it, it is not good for our political process. Since when did the media become “the choosers”? People need to continue to be awoken to the reality. Whatever the reasoning, it is Un-American and wrong.
The “natural” rights that the author alludes to are never granted as he would have you believe. There is no one qualified to grant them. You are born with them!!! Yes, I am merely declaring this. If you do not own your self and your honestly obtained property then someone else must. And this person would have some say in how you use your property and in what you can do with yourself. This constitutes slavery. Getting together with your neighbors and voting for a politician who will order a bureaucrat to force you to do something is how this de facto slavery is accomplished. It is not legitimate. The Constitution protects no one, it is only a partial list of rights, only people protect people. Either you believe in democracy, where infringements on natural rights are legitimized by a majority vote or… you believe in liberty, in which natural rights are respected.
I think the campaign needs to run it’s own exit poll at every polling station in order to verify the vote.
As one person pointed out here intelligent people are a very small minority in America these days thanks to 100 years of state controlled “education”…and we all know who controls the state (it ain’t Bush or Cheney kids). People in this country can’t even conceive of a USA that doesn’t have a huge military all over the world since that’s what we have had for almost three generations. I’ve actually had people tell me “I like wars…they’re good for the country”. Ahhhhh…WTF?
America: Stick a fork in it…it’s done
Ron Paul and his grassroots supporters are going up against the establishment and now we fully realize that the corporate-owned media IS the establishment no matter what pretense they hide under as delivering objective journalism. If ever, it was a thing of the past.
Paul supporters are forced to find new ways to help get the message out and hopefully what they find will contribute to a new era of communication outside corporate media.
What an exciting time to live through and participate in!
Yea, imagine if the media reported this story fairly where Ron Paul’s campaign would be right now. Then imagine if they did what they normally do and sensationalized it a little ( not that you need to), or better yet imagine if the MSM moguls liked Ron Paul and got behind his campaign, it would probably be a run away. The fact of the matter is that people are more than swayed by the media, they are virtually controlled by it. Most of the mainstream media is now owned by people that have their and other people’s interest at hand, not ours, not reporting the facts. They make headlines with disinformation and propaganda, and make corrections in tiny lettering if at all. Sure it could be worse, sure it’s not as bad as most other countries, but boy we’re headed that way fast.
Like “Indian” says here above, it’s the same outside of US. I live in the US but I’m born in Sweden and follow Swedish news closely. I’ve only seen Ron Paul mentioned in passing, while they are all over Hilary and Obama.
To see a woman or a black man as president perceived to be liberal democrats, fits the extremely politically correct and socialist view of mainstream Sweden (and I’m letting you know as a mixed race black man born and raised in Sweden). Just like in the US there is never any information that both Obama and Clinton supported the Patio Act as well as the H.R. 1995 “the Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism act” that turns peaceful concerned Americans into anti-governmental terrorist. There is never any information that Clinton is the presidential hopeful that have most support of the Defense industry among both Democrats and Republicans.
Would almost 90% of the Swedes so willingly endorse Obama and Clinton if they knew the truth?
Oh yeah, forgot to mention something previously:
When you stop buying MSM products through cable or satellite services or through print or electronic subscriptions, or whatever forms those products take, MAKE SURE you tell whoever the EXACT reason why you are cancelling those services or subscriptions — that you’re fed up with the MSM crapping on Dr. Ron and his (our) message.
Also, let any local-yocal expressions of the MSM, like newspapers and TV and Radio station affiliates know what you’ve done and why.
Again, you can always renew anything you cancel at a later date, like AFTER the Presidential election.
Be your best, like Ron Paul, and let your actions consistently back up your words, and vice versa!
Needless to say, don’t be bitchin, here or elsewhere, about anything unless you are registered to vote, and will vote.
GO RON PAUL!!!!!
At this point we should heed the words of former AG John Mitchell when he said, “When the going gets tough, the Tough get going.”
The MSM’s strategy will ultimately backfire as more people become aware of Dr.Paul’s candidacy - and the MSM’s campaign being waged against him.
Keep up the pressure.
Remember that the best advertising is word of mouth. Get out there and talk to people, donate what you can as soon as you can. Super Tuesday is coming fast.
It truly is amazing that in our day when we have the Internet at all of our fingertips that the traditional, as you mentioned “old media,” would dare try to ignore what is so obviously seen right in front of us “online.”
Ron Paul is so very much a contender in this Republican Nomination race. I say let us redouble, quadruple our “online” efforts. Feel free to visit my small, quick, little WebSite where I simply express my true and very heartfelt beliefs and attitude. Much as so, so many of us can, so easily today.
Let Freedom Ring.
I think we need to make a huge public statement sometime soon, either Ron Paul will drop out as a republican soon or we should ask him to run as an independent, either way, whenever this movement comes to a close of the first phase I say we go out with a huge bang that will spark the next step of this peaceful revolution. We should all march on washington, ride , drive, walk, whatever it takes to get there and listen to Dr Ron Paul make a final address to Americans and the world, this willl help us to pick up the mantle and keep the movement going until we finally win back this government and our country. I am willing to help organize, spend money, speak, whatever. Lets make sure his movement doesnt end with a wimper but a bang.
Kurt
I have beensupporting the Ron Paul campaign since last May. I’ve joined a Meetup group, donate monthly, have bumper stickers, badges, wrist bans; I hand out Liberty cards often and talk to anyone who will listen. I’ve had a letter to theeditor published in our local newspaper, scolding the MSM for ignoring Ron Paul. The Establishment, (corporate-America, Federal Reserve, are terrified of his growing popularity. They are looking at options to stop this if it continues. No matter what they do, this movement will not stop!

“Indian” (above) is a fellow patriot, and a true ally.
Thank you sir for all you have done for the movement.
I’m canvassing down here in Florida as we speak (well, no, right now I’m f***ing around on the Internet).
Blugh! Rudy is GOING DOWN!
Thank you for writing this article. How many times do we have to scream that Ron Paul is being ignored before they stop ignoring him? I think the answer to that is we are going to just have to get around that brick wall, because it’s not going to move by itself any time soon.
And we can now officially add Bill Maher to the list of MSM neocons who dare not mention Ron Paul’s name. Not only that, he’s become a shill for a “popular front-runner” (hint: name starts with “O” and he’s definitely not anti-war, anti-Patriot Act or anti-CFR…)
Maher apparently was “advised” by HBO if he wanted to keep his show, he’d better follow the rules. And so now he’s shown his true colors — he doesn’t really loathe the war; he just wants to keep his show running and be in with the popular crowd. And never again speak of the man he used to say was his “hero.”
I now only read the positive Google and Yahoo alerts about Ron Paul and stay away from watching any sort of politics on TV. Instead, I pick and choose what I want to watch on Youtube. And I mention Ron Paul to everyone I meet — most have already heard of him and really like him, even here in Georgia. I convince them that yes, he can win.
So I now live with a mixture of hope and disgust and it vacillates between the two. So much of America has been dummied down for so long that there’s a possibility its just going to choose another Bush. And that would be “anybody but Ron Paul.”
Pray for our future.

The point is, the campaign has made history several times, and if you can not see that if it were any other candidate the media would be having a feeding frenzy.. then you don’t understand at all. Media is supposedly, “All about the ratings,” But in this case they do seem to be making an exception.

Why is Ron Paul being ignored by the media?
The greatest grassroots campaign in…
I have to find you and almost any news of my hero by keeping a Ron Paul alert in my email. I predict (see “Bill Moyer” shows lately) that media owners will lose their ability to own defense contracts, or any business besides media over this, as they use public airwaves, and have a responsibility to report All the news with no bias.
I only hope to God all the Internetties ” will vote, and go become Delegates, especially with that ignorant, corrupt “Winner Take All” of the delegates policy in some states.
My Son wouldn’t listen to me, and stay out of the military until we have a sane man as President. Now he Knows. And he and his Bothers and Sisters “in the street” in Iraq, watching their buddies die and get maimed, and those of the innocent Iraqis get it worse, say they support Ron Paul. If you thought the Viet Nam vets were mad, wait until this bunch gets home.
Y’all got the right thing going on. But may I remind you that divine intervention was the main reason America survived to become this great nation. The Church and the Lord Jesus Christ is what America was Founded on as a light to the world. Remember George Washington on his knees in the thicket praying to God? We need to get serious about this dilemma with the media and email all in your address book this report. Also we need to fast and pray to Jesus for divine intervention on behalf of Dr. Ron Paul. I know America has sinned, and we do not deserve His mercy. But I do believe if we are serious as we say we are that he will hear our prayer. 2 Chronicles 7:14

This article is so profoundly true. What the vast majority of this nation does not know or even realize is that there are big names that are pulling all the stings from behind the invisible curtain. They have their agenda and the success and soverienty of these United States is not part of it. First, you have the North American Union and eventually a New World Order. To all those who think that this is a “conspiracy theory” they had better wake up and do their homework. Stop relying on the TV, radio, and newspaper for your information or new. Everyone of those sources have been bought and paid for by the elite. Organizations like the Council on Foreign Relations, which every candidate for President is a member (((exept Ron Paul))) care only to accomplish their agenda. This whole campaign has been about getting anyone elected to the Presidency except Ron Paul. They do not care who it is as long as it is not Ron Paul. Ron Paul as President would set their plans back terribly. I emplore every freedom loving American to do some investigating and know who you are voting for. If you look at each of these candidates and check their records against what they preach you will plainly see that their is only one ot them that backs up what they preach. Ron Paul can and will save this country from it’s inevitable downfall. He is the only one who really cares about you and me and restoring this nation to it’s once held status of “”Great”"!!!
