WOOT! An amazing thing has happened. When I hit google news I saw Ron Paul’s name on the front page, I was a bit suprised. It was the media reaction related to Ron Paul and his “unexpected fund raising numbers”. In my opinion as a Ron Paul supporter, the numbers were only unexpected to mainstream media. What a great victory for freedom and liberty - but there is still a tough road ahead for Paul. I hope he can raise 12 million in the next round, from what I have seen this 5 million may be the frugal gourmets’ recipe for success on the campaign trail. With already huge grassroots support and a lot of hardcore followers, Ron Paul really has a chance to win the Presidency.
I have been a supporter of Ron Paul for a few months. My family attended a rally in Salt Lake City and thoroughly enjoyed Dr. Paul’s speech. We are now supporting him with bumper stickers, a yard sign and word of mouth - I think I may contribute to a political campaign for the first time in my life! My point, I have never been driven to political activism with such vigor by any other cause before. This is different - it seems to me like a chance to help preserve the freedom and rights of Americans.

Check out the link above, the site is giving away Ron Paul bumper stickers.
I must have heard wrong. Are angels singing down from the heavens? My entire life growing up it was understood and taught the everybody paid a federal income tax. I never questioned that it was law. How blind I was apparently. Ron Paul is saying that if the government could cut spending we might not have to pay a federal income tax. Rack up another vote, this platform alone is worth it to me.
I find this a significant event because it would save the American people from paying an injustice federal income tax . The American people are being bullied into paying a never ending - interest only loan on money our government burns for the agendas of a few elite. The worst part of all, there really isn’t an actual law stating that you have to pay an income tax. As an American, you must pay your taxes, or fear being terrorized by a mafia of internal revenuers.
Ron Paul knows the reality of this, and is apparently one of the few honest politicians in the world that can recognize the huge problem facing the American financial system. It was set up for the elite to gain more wealth and power, and is in jeopardy of crashing down on everyone beneath them. Just for fun read the history of our great fourth branch - The monetary branch. You will see a system wrought with corruption and interference by only a handful of men.
Driving around the Salt Lake valley in the past few weeks i have noticed several banners hanging in prominent locations with nothing more than the words “Ron Paul Revolution”. My wife and I have both commented on them, and their obvious appeal toward a younger crowd. The impression I get, maybe an extreme motocross rider or skateboarder (Ron Paul) will be visiting soon, and this is the guerrilla marketing campaign. The stenciled effect is definitely an attempt at grabbing the attention of both youthful individuals, and middle aged people as well. The impression that never struck me was that this is a serious polotician who is running for office of the president, that changed today.
I received an email with a link to the Ron Paul presidential campaign site today, and checked it out. As i looked over the site the name stuck out and i made a connection the the stenciled banners I’ve seen around. But this site was serious, no stenciled banners or extreme graphics here, just a serious presidential hopefuls site. I quickly did a Google search for Ron Paul Revolution and found this site. It took a good scan of the page before the link between Dr. Ron Paul, the presidential candidate and Ron Paul (the fictional motocross stunt man in my mind) were made. Obviously the Ron Paul revolution campaign can’t have ties to this serious presidential hopeful I thought. After a bit more research it was confirmed, Dr. Ron Paul is campaigning for the office of the President in 2008, but his campaign is not affiliated with the Ron Paul Revolution. The Revolution is a grassroots campaign started by supporters in Arizona, and has been spreading since. By way of the Internet first, and other “Guerrilla Marketing” strategies second.
“The folks behind the Ron Paul Revolution have no official connection to the campaign, and are not getting paid for their efforts. They are liberty-loving Americans who want to help get the word out about the only true peace-and-freedom Presidential candidate. “
Looks like Dr. Ron Paul is mustering support in an unconventional manner and is making headway with campaigning on the web, and on the ground - what about a “how to stencil” section of the Ron Paul Revolution website. This is revolutionary candidate if not in the way he is being marketed, but also some of his ideals. One to watch!
