					<description>Scotty -- we used to be libertarians, and I would still vote for a Libertarian candidate for counterbalance, but we can no longer endorse radical individualism. However, if the Fed Govt obeyed the Constitution, it would look, smell, and sound libertarian, which is one reason why Ron Paul is the only candidate to support even if his theoretical underpinnings go too far.</description>

Dear Ron Paul Supporter:

There are moments in history when timing is everything. We can seize an opportunity, or we can let it pass by. Ron Paul’s decision to seek the Republican nomination for president was a revolutionary shot in the arm for the cause of Liberty in America. He was able to reach out to a generation who had not heard a presidential candidate speak to the principals of liberty upon which this country was founded. 

Unfortunately, the current establishment of the Republican party has not embraced Ron Paul’s candidacy nor his libertarian-conservative philosophy. Many of us have been inspired by Dr. Paul to work for the transformation of the Republican Party. This is a worthy undertaking, and four years from now, the people Ron Paul inspired may lead a new kind of Republican movement. I applaud the efforts of those who have embarked on that course. 

But that won’t make Ron Paul the 2008 Republican nominee. It looks like the Republican Party will do what it has done too often in the past; offer us the lesser of two evils, rather than a true small government conservative. With the odds of a Republican nomination fading the money clock is running slow. That is the bad news. 

The good news is that we don’t have to settle for a John McCain, or other big-government cosmetic conservative. The Ron Paul Revolution can march right into the general election in November. There is already a party that embraces the very philosophy of small government that Congressman Paul has brought to the public consciousness. They have been trying to spread that message for 35 years. They are the Libertarian Party. 

Even though the Libertarian platform may not match Ron Paul’s position statement 100%, the philosophy, that Ron has been turning people onto, is as libertarian as it is conservative. Furthermore, he has done more to get the word out than any Libertarian candidate; his positions are as libertarian as most Libertarian candidates, he has the most libertarian voting record of any national office-holder, and he has run as a Libertarian before. 

This is time his campaign is different then in 1988. He already has an enthusiastic national grassroots organization. His name is a household word. He has already had extensive national media coverage. His campaign has raised millions of dollars. 

Not only could Ron Paul still give us the opportunity to vote for a worthwhile candidate in November, the Ron Paul Libertarian candidacy could help restore the Libertarian party. Furthermore, if supporters knew he would be on the ballot in November, they would be inspired to start contributing again. 

I believe the time to start the "draft Ron Paul" effort is now. I don’t expect instant results; it is still in his interest to turn us down for the time being (especially with the Romney pull-out and the MSNBC debates on the 28th). 

Even if Ron Paul does not win on the Libertarian ticket, the fact that he can count on a solid 5% wedge between the Democratic and Republican vote, will force them to fight for those votes. Even if it means delaying the national ID card until the next election cycle, it will be worth it. Even if it only ends the Iraq war sooner, it will be worth it. The list goes on. 

The idea of drafting Ron Paul is not new:
http://www.libertyforall.net/?p=737
http://www.butterbach.net/kev/kev6.htm

Of course “drafting” Ron Paul, is a poor word choice for Libertarians; as freedom lovers, we need to see this as more of a seduction than a draft. The choice is ultimately Ron Paul’s. Libertarians need to convince him to love the Libertarian Party as much as its members love him. He will need to play hard to get. We should expect that much from a man of dignity. As he resists the idea, more and more Libertarians need to make him feel it is the right choice. 

Here is my idea: 

Send Ron Paul a Libertarian Valentine on FEBRUARY 14th http://www.dailypaul.com/node/28031#comment-310876 http://ronpaul2008.com 

Prior to that date, tell everyone you know to send a message by phone, email and fax to the Ron Paul campaign, and the Libertarian Party, that you want Ron Paul to accept a Libertarian nomination. Send a donation with a message (even a small one like $25 will get their attention. The money clock has come to a screeching halt). Let him know that Libertarians LOVE his revolution.

					<description>Ron Paul supporters have set scheduled this weekend for exploding another money bomb on the corrupt American political system.

Tomorrow is the big event commemorating the 224th anniversary of the Boston Tea Party.  Since it is on the Lord's Day it would probably not be right to give.  (I say probably, but I am open to argument, perhaps along the lines that battles are allowed on the Sabbath.  Stonewall preferred to fight on the Lord's Day.)

But today is "Bill of Rights Day" and it has been organized as a smaller money bomb.  Let's do our part today and put Paul of the $12 million mark.

As with voting, my suggestion is to give early ...  and often!

					<description>Note the ADL "planned to communicate with Paul privately" -- yet this is being announced in a public jewish medium!

"If he doesn't do that, then we will decide what we're going to say publicly about it," Freeman said.

Freeman: you have already made it public!

These people are such pathological liars.</description>

					<description>The &lt;a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.jta.org/cgi-bin/iowa/breaking/105349.html" rel="nofollow"&gt;heebs&lt;/a&gt; are after Ron Paul.  It seems some white Americans who are not ashamed of their skin color have given him money.

The scam is both tiring and nauseating.  I can't even motivate myself to point out all the fallacies, the posturing, the absurdities.  It really is sickening.

Paul must either ignore them or go on the attack.  The days of Judaic control of America are numbered.  If Paul refuses to kowtow to them, it will be one more nail in their coffin.</description>

					<description>They are grasping at straws to find a reason to demonize Paul.  They didn't even understand that the Nov. 5th date was used in reference to Alan Moore's "V for Vendetta" and not a direct reference to Guy Fawkes.  

How one could vote for any of these establishment candidates completely baffles me.  The way Romney treated the man in the clip below is an example of the type of individuals we're dealing with:

Here is a great video to give people who need inspiration to donate and vote for a REAL candidate in this election:

					<description>Ron Paul supporters are terrorists.  At least according to this Fox &lt;a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eg8M2JBIoqo&#038;eurl=http://www.truthnews.us/?p=824" rel="nofollow"&gt;"journaist"&lt;/a&gt;.

Notice the heavy artillery he brings out: Winnie's great grandson and dual American-Israeli citizen and neocon warmonger David Horowitz.  The descendant of Sir Winnie is brought in as expert witness to testify that Guy Fawkes was a domestic terrorist and that since Ron Paul supporters organized a "money bomb" on Guy Fawkes Day, some are also likely to be domestic terrorists.  Horowitz is there to remind the goyim of the great dangers we face from &lt;a rel="nofollow" href="http://butler-harris.org/archives/73" rel="nofollow"&gt;"Islamo-fascists"&lt;/a&gt; and how Ron Paul supporters are contributing to their sinister plot to take over the world.

The Cryptocracy must really be quaking in their boots to resort to this silly level of propaganda.</description>

					<description>I am so unbelievably excited about Ron Paul. I have never been this excited about anything political in my life... and that's saying quite a bit. Before Ron Paul, I had absolutely no interest in the election. The same old GOP "good ol' boys" who will toe the party line. Nothing new. Nothing fresh. Same old rhetoric from the neo-cons, who aren't true conservatives at all.

Enter Ron Paul. I am absolutely enthralled that his campaign is doing so well. The media no longer can ignore the Ron Paul Revolution. The juggernaut is moving forward.

I am looking forward to Dec. 16. It looks like an even bigger fundraiser is being planned, to coincide with the anniversary of the Bill of Rights as well as the Boston Tea Party. I definitely plan on giving as much as I can that day.

Thank you for promoting Ron Paul. Truly, there may be hope for America.
