1. Good post Jeff, you made it to the top of Google News site! That's where I found you and that's where many, many, many Ron Paul supporters and regular folks like you and I have to go to try and get the truthful news. The mainstream corporate media and a few of their smaller allies are either out to ignore the Ron Paul campaign, smear it and even going so far as to spread blatant lies. Look at the tens of thousands of people that marched in the "Stop The War" rallies in Washington DC and other major cities all over our great country recently, we barely made a bleep on the news! People need to and finally are starting to wake up and pay attention to what is real and honorable. We are sick and tired of these lieing, pandering to the crowd, self-interest and America defeating politicians and the media that they use to do their bidding. They are breaking our backs and stealing ours and our childrens future! The people have been handed a great gift in this true American Statesman! Are we going to embrace him and accept his challenge to us to do OUR CIVIL DUTY, or are we going to let this rare opportunity slip away from us all? We must ask ourselves "WHY" is the mainstream media trying to squelch this mans message and not give us an honest asessment of his core values, his impeccable record and his important message to and for all of us! This good man needs our help, America needs your duty. Let your torch be seen, let your voice be heard. Do some reading for you and your country. Think for yourselves as individuals. Don't let anyone else tell you what to do with your voice, your vote! The next time you vote you will not have to do it with your fingers crossed and saying a prayer, you will know that you made the right choice. Just look for yourselves. RonPaul2008.com ~ WWRPD.org. Thanks!....We are all guilty of the good we did not do.--Voltaire

2. I Made a small contribution as well as bought his book today. I like what he says, especially about foreign policy. He is not OWNED by the big money interests nor the CFR or AIPAC. OUt of the whole array of candidates Republican or democrat there are only about 3 who can be trusted to tell the truth to America and Ron Paul is one of them.

3. Ron Paul is the only sensible Republican when it comes to foreign affairs, still however, I say vote for a democrat!

4. Remember, Remember the 5th of November. Thanks for reminding me of Guy Fawkes Day, and of V for Vendetta. Though if Ron Paul is elected I'd say we probably won't have to worry about any totalitarian regime in this country

5. I just visited his web site. Pauls has some solid stands on issues I could support, but it take more than a solid stand to win elections. You have to be able to connect with the people; to communicate and captivate. People like Kennedy, Reagan and Bill Clinton were great at that. Hillary and Barack are also very good at this. Even if Ron got the nomination, I am not sure he would fair well against a Clinton/Obama (my prediction) ticket.

6. For a career Air Force man, Dr. Paul is a defeatist. A friend of mine is a Libertarian, but he's voting for Romney. As a former Navy man, his biggest problem with the Libertarian Party is the isolationist foreign policy.

As for Dr. Paul's money, large amounts of money don't automatically mean victory. You also have to have an organization, or have other politicians put their organizations behind you.

In Illinois, Barack Obama beat a very, very wealthy candidate (a former commodoties trader) in the Democratic primary for U.S. Senate.

Simply put, despite buying a boatload of commercials, the commodities trader didn't have the organization to get out the vote, whereas Sen. Obama, as a state senator, had the ability to tap into the organizations of political leaders throughout the state.

7. "But they say if they can raise $10 Million today that will do it."

Maybe; but with the media apparently fearing Paul, I'm sure they possessed of many creative ways of dismissing it.

8. There is a reason that Dr. Paul has received more contributions from the military than any other candidate, Republican or Democrat, and it is because he speaks truth about our foreign policy.

He is not an isolationist. He is a non-interventionist, which simply means that we should not interfere in the internal affairs of other nations (just as they do not interfere in our internal affairs). It is a policy we followed quite well until the Korean War, and it is the one which General Washington and our Founding Fathers recommended.

I am a career Naval officer who has been politically neutral for my entire life, but voting for Ron Paul is about voting for America and our Constitution. I am now supporting Dr. Ron Paul with my wallet--and my heart.

9. great work jeff.
i find it interesting that the two candidates that are running on a principled platform are both ostracized as "the ross perot" candidates.
ron paul has impressed me at every debate,
i am especially impressed with his passion on the constitution.
his outrage at the blatant disregard for our greatest document,and the over-stepping of executive powers is refreshing in an ocean of dittoheads.
dennis kucinich is getting the same treatment by the media,yet both he and ron paul are gaining massive support from the american public.
anybody see a pattern here?
that while the american public are demanding a change in policy and direction,elements of the powerful elite wish to remain steadfast.
the media is part of these powerful elite,in fact,it is the media which is their most powerful and influential tool.
be you a conservative,or a progressive,we all want to change the course of our beloved country.
it is the powerful elite that wish to stay in power,and ron paul and dennis kucinich threaten that control.
by using the media they attempt to marginalize the message from both these candidates,
change is not something that the establishment wants or wishes.
that is something the american citizenry wants,
and it is something we are all going to have to work together to achieve.
trusting that the media has our best interests at heart is like trusting a shark to become a vegetarian.
the media does not work for the american public,maybe at one time it did,but no more.
the media works to keep itself empowered and relevant,the american public has not the resources to do that,but government does.
you do the math...
its up to us.
till next time..peace.

10. Awesome. Yes I love how we claim to be this democratic society but at the same time we are still in Iraq when the vast majority of people want to get out of Iraq. Those two facts just don't add up in my mind.

11. Under Ron Paul's taxation scheme, the poorest would pay taxes on nearly all their income, 80-90% or more while billionares would pay virtually nothing, 0-.001% of their income.

You can't support a 21st century country of 300 million on that tax base any more than you can by borrowing it all from communist china like libertarians are doing now.

You shouldn't let a party that hates government govern, any more than you should leave your kids with somebody who hates children.

Libertarianism has already resulted in the richest 300 us citizens having more money than the poorest 150 million. I can't imagine being ok with that!

Paul's camp's just a new handbasket on the same trip.

12. No Ron Paul isn't perfect. Non of the candidates are but he is the closest I have seen who truly wants the constitution to govern our country as it should. I too love his passion for that and that alone should be enough for anyone to choose to vote for him. He may be placed here for a such a time as this, to have a chance to get our country back one last time because if we don't we won't even be able to squabble over who should be taxed and who shouldn't. It won't matter anymore. When Ron Paul pledges to up hold and defend the constitution which this country was built upon I believe it. I don't with any other candidate. I have seen too much shenanigans through the years to believe otherwise. These other people running for president are nothing but puppets on a string. Clowns and maroons. May the media that support them drown with them.

13. I would like to suggest that each of us, and other supporters take a few minutes to email so called major media to insist that this amazing event in support of Ron Paul be covered, and not marginalized. No matter who the candidate might be, such an event is newsworthy, period.

Tell two friends, and they'll tell two friends, and so on, and so on, and so on.....

Here's a handy dandy list to help make it happen.

14. Best case scenerio is that if Ron Paul wins, he will fight a Republican majority in Congress. Worst case is that he will fight a Democrat majority.

Ron Paul comes across as the idealogue that won't compromise his prinicples, ever. The problem with that is then the government winds up shutting down all the time. People didn't like it during the Reagan or Clinton Administrations, and they won't like it during a Paul Administraiton.

What I don't like about Ron Paul is his talk about getting rid of the Federal Reserve Board. As a economics major, that begs the question, how will the U.S. regulate its money supply?

Perhaps Dr. Paul should talk to fellow Republican and Texan Phil Graham, the former Senator and professor of economics, whole once called Alan Greenspan the greatest central banker in the history of the world.

15. Clif Kuplen: "Under Ron Paul's taxation scheme, the poorest would pay taxes on nearly all their income, 80-90% or more while billionares would pay virtually nothing, 0-.001% of their income."

Ron Paul wants no income tax at all. So poor people would pay 0% of their income in income tax. They would still have to pay Social Security if they want to collect it later, but Paul would let anyone opt out of that too, although such people would have to recognize that it is their job to save for their own retirement. Paul would make that possible by insisting upon sound money that can't be inflated to worthlessness.

The people who will be hurt are those who are accustomed to getting money at taxpayer's expense -- most of the beauracrats in Washington D.C., for example. To them I say -- neener, neener, neener!
