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.

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.

Great civilizations such as the United States have grown on the backs of such industries as manufacturing and agriculture. I’m going to take a quick glance at agriculture. If you listen to public radio, no doubt you will hear Jim Hightower say “…9 million shiploads of foreign food came into our ports last year…“, he also makes mention of the lack of food safety on imported products.

The real question I am puzzled with is why this isn’t a higher priority for most Americans. We need food to survive, yet we so are precariously disconnected from its source in most cases, and we don’t seem to care. At home, smaller farms are being swallowed up by factory farms and this has been happening at alarming rates, for a long time. Factory farming is less efficient. One large farm will typically produce far less food than several smaller farms.

This factored into a growing population and growing demand just doesn’t cut it. How do we supplement this system? We import tons of food and have a growing dependency on foreign nations like china. We have duct taped the problem and are taking uneccesary risks with the American people. The government needs to take action to support more localized and independent farming operations. Washington should be heavily promoting small scale agriculture and investing in America.
