Ron Paul Campaign
From Jeremy Ashton:
Ron Paul Campaign:
The most fitting description of the Ron Paul campaign for the 2008
Republican nomination for President is that it has exploded with
excitement across America. Of course, the mainstream media and
"conservative" talk show hosts continue to try to ignore the
excitement. One of the greatest moments thus far of the campaign
came after the 2nd Republican debate where Ron Paul had an exchange
with Rudy Guilliani. Just as Sean Hannity was ranting about how "2nd
tier" candidates such as Ron Paul should no longer be included in the
debates, a news flash across the bottom of the screen stated that Ron
Paul was leading in the polls as the winner of the debate. Later on,
when the leader of the Michigan GOP stated that Ron Paul should not be
admitted to the debates anymore, he was inundated with so much
correspondence that he had to retract his statement. Thank goodness
for the Internet!!! Ron Paul is a true Jeffersonian libertarian and a
very principled advocate of limiting government to the protection of
rights. He himself realizes that this campaign is so much more than
about him and that he is only carrying on the work that has been done
by many other courageous defenders of liberty in the present and past.
Though he intends to win the election, he also has repeatedly stated
in the past that he looks at himself as more of an educator than a
politician, probably one very good reason why he is yet to be
corrupted by power. He also realizes that in order to truly make a
change to the direction of America, we need to do so much more than
simply elect him to president. For, as part of his campaign, he
intends to continue to work to change the hearts of Americans so a
significant mass return back to the ideals upon which America was
founded. A Ron Paul Meetup group is starting in the Richmond,
Virginia area to help spread his message of peace and liberty. I
invite all of you to join this group to play a role in this exciting
and historic moment in the cause for liberty. To find more
