January 30, 2008
Every movement in history has faced some time of testing, some
experience that either forges it into something strong and unified, or
forces it to fade away into the history books as another failed
experiment.
Dr. Paul has written to you that we are heading straight for Super
Tuesday. Our opponents are free to beat up on each other and wear
themselves down while we gather our supporters and prepare to storm
the convention with delegates.
Last night, over 60,000 people stood up and asked for an end to the runaway violation of our liberties. But contrary to the impression you
may be getting from the mainstream media, no national delegates have
yet been won in Florida. Those delegates will only be awarded between
February 6 and April 30 at delegate selection caucuses, and many of those delegates will be supporters of Dr. Paul.
Ron Paul is the only candidate not to give up on any state in the
Republican race, and just as we competed strongly in overlooked states like Nevada and Louisiana, so too will we compete in Maine, Minnesota, and other states that the so-called "top-tier" candidates are content to ignore.
Now, as the focus shifts to Super Tuesday, Rudy's campaign is crushed,
Huckabee is losing momentum by the day, and McCain and Romney are
fighting over who is the most liberal.
We've been here before. In 1776, despite a courageous effort at
holding onto the city, George Washington ceded New York and quickly
retreated to New Jersey.
1777 brought the British recapture of Fort Ticonderoga, as well as
American defeats at Brandywine and Germantown.
And then, during the winter of 1777-1778, Washington and his army
faced perhaps their most humiliating moment, forced to endure a harsh
Pennsylvania winter with limited supplies at Valley Forge.
The American revolutionaries dealt with their defeats, focused on
their goals, and emerged from Valley Forge as a force that would
defeat the most powerful nation on earth.
Our momentum is building. Each one of us, from Dr. Paul himself down to the grassroots supporter who donates the last $5 he or she can
give, is focused on the goal.
Early in the struggle for American independence, George Washington
wrote: "Perseverance and spirit have done wonders in all ages." Even then, Washington realized that a fierce struggle for self-government
can only be won with a spirit of determination equal to the challenge.
Today, in the midst of our new revolution, let's consider Washington's
words once again. The task before us is enormous. The foes of liberty
are deeply entrenched, and they will not relinquish their power
without a struggle.
But fighting in our favor is the unconquerable human spirit, the
innate desire to be free. We must embrace this inner strength, dig in
our heels, and persevere, just as Washington and his rag-tag
colonials, the first American grassroots patriots, did before us. And
if we must pass through a Valley Forge or two along the way to
victory, let those times of testing temper the steel of our
determination.
If Ron Paul is to continue his fight for liberty to the Republican
Convention, we need your help in two critical ways:
1. Become a precinct leader today: It's easy, but more importantly,
it's vital to Ron Paul's success: https://voters.ronpaul2008.com.
2. Donate: Just as the Continental Congress supplied General
Washington's troops in the field, we too must raise as much money as
we can to equip our grassroots supporters.
Help us win this revolution and usher in a new era of freedom, peace,
and prosperity.
Donate today:

the election season has barely started and the list is already down to what? clinton, obama, mac, romney and huckabee. and paul. of couse he needs money. better he get it from american citizens than the riadi's of the world. you take money from folks and you are beholden unto them. who would you rather have a president beholden to other than the people who elected him?
won't be long until only the corporate approved can even campaign due to the costs of it all. won't that be a great day? |

Ron Paul's Prospects Look Up In Maine
By GLENN ADAMS, Associated Press Writer
Thu Jan 31, 5:04 PM ET
AUGUSTA, Maine - Republican presidential hopeful Ron Paul has a couple of things going for him at this weekend's Republican caucuses: a band of highly motivated supporters and a natural appeal to Maine's like-minded independents.
His stop in the state earlier this week also made him the only presidential contender from either party to visit before the caucuses.
"I think that (because) he's paid attention to Maine, he'll be rewarded," R. Kenneth Lindell, Paul's campaign coordinator in Maine, said Thursday.
Maine's GOP polling Friday, Saturday and Sunday may be the Texas congressman's best shot at winning a state, and such a feat would be big coming just days before next week's Super Tuesday presidential preference contests in more than 20 states.

Oh, good. Hope fully there will be enough volunteers there to watch the vote, but will Bev Harris be there with her cameras to film the ballot boxes? New Hampshire will not have been all for naught if we learn from it. |

| Peace, prosperity, and liberty is apparently now a "kool aide" set of ideas. Oh well. Perpetual war will be fun too. |

RON PAUL A KNOW-NOTHING CRACKER BIGOT
Or he certainly suffers them gladly to ghostwrite his newsletters:
| Quote: |
...because of a controversy dating to 1996, when Charles "Lefty" Morris, a Democrat running against Paul for a House seat, released excerpts stating that "opinion polls consistently show only about 5% of blacks have sensible political opinions," that "if you have ever been robbed by a black teen-aged male, you know how unbelievably fleet-footed they can be," and that black representative Barbara Jordan is "the archetypical half-educated victimologist" whose "race and sex protect her from criticism."
|
Paul, however, didn't write this, it only appeared in his newsletter! Boys will be boys, right? Can Ron Paul be held responsible for opinions stated in a newsletter he published, with
| Quote: |
Of course, with few bylines, it is difficult to know whether any particular article was written by Paul himself. Some of the earlier newsletters are signed by him, though the vast majority of the editions I saw contain no bylines at all. Complicating matters, many of the unbylined newsletters were written in the first person, implying that Paul was the author.
But, whoever actually wrote them, the newsletters I saw all had one thing in common: They were published under a banner containing Paul's name, and the articles (except for one special edition of a newsletter that contained the byline of another writer) seem designed to create the impression that they were written by him--and reflected his views.

Can Ron Paul be held responsible for opinions stated in a newsletter he published, written in the first person? He's only an elected official, one of the last people on earth we would expect to be aware of things like divisive racial polemic . WTF? Do intelligent adults really need to even consider such a stupid question?

Yes, jkelly. Racial polemics are so last year. What RP did/said in the past should not be held against him now, not as long as he panders to the Far Right.  |

| Oh yata, tell me again about the "slave master" mentalities of gay muslims who protest the killing of homosexuals. Hey, maybe you and the 'far right' can finally agree on something! |

This isn't MTV. I'm sure I can find some more recent news about Britney Spears' bout with IBS. Would that suffice? "It's new! Shiny new news! It's so bright and pretty! Peel likey!" |
