Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich Money Bombs This Weekend

If you care about your freedoms and don't want to continue to pay 15% of your earnings solely to fund never ending wars, please contribute 0.1% of your earnings to an anti war peace and freedom loving candidate like Ron Paul or Dennis Kucinich. You do know they are the only ones running (besides Gravel) who have pledged to end the war and have all the troops home any time in the next 5 years, right? Don't let those other politicians who started and funded this war and voted through all of Bush's anti-constitution legislation take any more of our freedoms our our youth's lives. Help those few that actually fought against the war and fought for the constitution with legislation and votes! It's a small price to pay to live in a free and peaceful nation!

Check out the Ron Paul Boston Tea Party Money Bomb on December 16th and Dennis Kucinich Money Bomb on December 15th (which even comes with this handy video):



If you're feeling a little unorthodox, than maybe you want to support the Ron Paul Blimp instead. It will be flying over the Boston harbor dumping tea during the Boston tea party celebration! Happy

Ron Paul in the Press - Bearing an Empty Pot and in Newsweek

The first peice is Ron Paul on Newsweek video describing how to shut down the IRS and how civil disobedience is key to keeping a society free.

The second peice is a very nice Japanese story equated to Ron Paul in a very intellegent way. I won't give away the story which is the meat of the article, only the assertions.

Excerpt:

Many contend that Ron Paul, although an honest, plain-talking man, comes to the 2008 presidential campaign podium without a lot of achievement. While in office, he hasn’t steer-headed proposed legislation into law, or galvanized broad-based support for this national agenda or that, or even been on board with most post-911 bills and actions. For almost twenty years, he’s been a dedicated representative for his Texas District and has not a potpourri of achievements about which to boast on the presidential campaign trail. Is this exactly true? How could someone serve for so long, and have so little to show for it? Ron Paul, like Ling, is a great truth-teller. His voting record is one of the most consistent this writer has ever seen. No flip-flops are to be found. As well, he is a courageous and wise man, and a heck of an economist. Just ask the Wall Streeters. However, he bears to his fellow countrymen (and countrywomen), an empty pot. He can’t claim to have brought you wars or higher taxes, which we now have. He never brought you an unbalanced budget, which is a perennial joke. He never voted himself a wage increase and, to this day, gives back part of his salary every year. He has always voted to preserve the Constitution, cut government spending, lower healthcare costs, end the war on drugs, secure our borders with immigration reform and protect our civil liberties. Sorrowfully, he was outvoted or shot down on all measures. The Constitution has been chiseled down, government spending is through the roof, healthcare costs are out of control, the war on drugs keeps getting less effective, immigration issues remain unresolved and our civil liberties have been crimped for our own safety. I’ll just throw in that Ron Paul opposes regulation of the internet, which has been a revolution in the exchange of ideas, this article being a case in point.

The Benjamin Franklin TRUE Patriot Act

Once again, Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich are the only ones earning their salaries in Congress. Real men can work with people from another political party. Contact your Congressman and tell him to support such legislation.

Excerpt:

The Benjamin Franklin True Patriot Act (H.R. 3171) is a bill introduced in the United States House of Representatives intended to review the previously passed USA PATRIOT Act. The bill was referred to subcommittees where it languished without action taken before the end of the 108th United States Congress. The bill will have to be reintroduced in order to be considered again.The bill was sponsored by Representatives Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio) and Ron Paul (R-Texas), with 27 co-sponsors, all Democrats (except Ron Paul). The intent was to review the USA PATRIOT Act to make sure it does not "inappropriately undermine civil liberties." Its name, as described in Sec. 2, No. 1, refers to Benjamin Franklin's famous quote, "Those who would give up Essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."

Paul Smashes All Expectations, Raises $5 Million in Third Quarter

Excerpt:

Texas Congressman Ron Paul, an anti-war libertarian making his second run at the White House, will report having raised $5.08 million in the third quarter. The number, which rivals those of John McCain and Bill Richardson, was boosted thanks to last-minute online fundraising that brought in more than $1.2 million in the last week of the quarter alone.This is the second quarter in a row Paul has shown fundraising strength. Last quarter he reported having more cash on hand than McCain, a sidebar that contributed to stories of McCain's collapse.

Many States Changing Deadline to Register as Republican to Shut Out Ron Paul

Excerpt:

Many states, in an effort to shut out Ron Paul are now closing their primaries. That means that only Republicans can vote in the Presidential primaries for a Republican candidate. Many states are doing this quickly and quietly and giving people very little time to learn about the new rules. For example, New Hampshire decided only a week ago that you will now have to change your party affiliation by October 12, 2007 or it will be too late to do so. New Hampshire also has a closed primary and only Republicans and possibly Independents will be allowed to vote for Ron Paul. In New York, you must be registered as a Republican or you cannot vote for Ron Paul and again, you must make this decision by October 12, 2007 or it will be too late. In New York, however, Independents cannot vote for Ron Paul. Same with New Jersey and many states around the nation.

Real Money Says Ron Paul Has a Shot

..And they say the internet isn't good for anything.

Excerpt:

I am here to inform Ron Paul fans that "the market" – the gambling website Intrade.com – says his chances of winning the GOP nomination are now 6.1%. In contrast, McCain’s chances are 5.4%, and Huckabee’s a meager 3.2%.Beyond the fact that Ron Paul is now in 4th place – and being ahead of McCain, is now surely a "real" candidate – is his meteoric rise since late May. Just look at this chart from Intrade:

Ron Paul is a First Tier Candidate, Only Fools Continue to Say Otherwise

A few excerpts:

Straw Polls: Ron Paul has come in the top 3 in almost every single straw poll. He has also won most of them.


Ron Paul support is not actually measured by the Gallop polls. They only measure past primary voters(those people who were registered Republicans and voted in 2000)…but only about 25% of Ron Paul supporters voted in the 2000 Republican primary…that means that Ron Paul’s numbers are not 4%, but actually close to 16%


..a grassroots network that dwarfs the competition(47,831 members + 5,487 interested, growing at 6% per week)…compared to less than a 200 for the 2nd place, and 0 for Rudy


Ron Paul will raise the $500,000 in about 3 days, 14 hours…giving him plenty of time to raise $1,000,000 in 1 week. These are HARDLY 2nd tier numbers.

Why Kucinich, Gravel and Paul Are So Far Down in the Polls

This explains a lot

Excerpt:

My New Hampshire phone rings (caller ID 000-000-0000 WTF?)and I pick it up out of curiosity. "This is (talking like a magpie so I haven't got a clue what the name of the company is)Research. Would you like to be part of a poll for the Democratic presidential primary candidate?" I agree and the woman rapidly reads the list of candidates. "Clinton, Obama, Edwards, Dodd, Biden and Richardson." I say, "Kucinich." The woman on the phone says "Who?" I say, "Kucinich. Dennis Kucinich." I hear coaching in the background - apparently the call is being monitored. "I'm sorry, but Dennis Kucinich is not on our list. Is there anyone on the list I gave you who you would vote for?"


So there you have it. Kucinich is down in the polls because he isn't included in the polls . . . and you can forget about Gravel, too.

Ron Paul Update

Ron Paul is so the man! He's just steamrolling everyone in the primaries! He is now #3 in funds raised behind Guiliani and Romney, up from about 9th only 2 months ago. His numbers are doubling in the polls every month, where he's now in 5th place, compared again to around 9th a few months ago.

Finally some good videos have been made that describe his positions well. If you don't want to spend much time and only want to watch one video, check this one out:



He's been on all the major talk shows like
Bill Mahr (who says he's his new hero), The Daily Show and news channels many times, like CNN, NBC, even FOX not to mention ruling the debates (most enjoyable was watching fox announcing how Guiliani had won and had Hannity attacking and misquoting Ron while their own ticker announced Ron as the winner) .

He's taking over
video viewership, he's he 3rd search term for the blog search engine technorati (just below youtube and sopranos) and he's just behind obama in requests on eventful.com. He's won pretty much every online poll.

I've never seen such a great person with a great message get through to the people in this way. It's truly inspiring, and gives me hope for the world. Actually I've never seen a politician I actually liked and that wasn't completely full of shit. I guess after the most corrupt administration the US has ever had we may be waking up a little bit.
