I was thinking of a 'topic' just for Ron Paul media that you like. Share and feel free to make brief comments on pieces as it will guide others to which ones are the best and go on from there. Whatever the end result, I find that Ron Paul's message can spread awareness and the idea of freedom the more the spotlight is on him.

I went out searching for some updated news and clips of how Ron Paul was doing yesterday, and found that many sites that first popped up after a Yahoo search had thier last RPaul posts a while ago, like ~5 of Jan. or December. I was wondering what was going on. I looked at a couple more pages of search results and found a couple of really active RPaul sites like www.dailypaul.com and www.ronpaulforpresident2008.com I was thinking that some sites slowed down a bit cause the real winner sites are doing such an awesome job of getting news and media clips real quick. If you're interested in Ron Paul, I really like the ronpaulforpresident2008 site as it has good media every day. This one was cool:

Hi All - just thought I would let you know that the 'doc' was in the house here in Colorado at the denver convention center. Me, my wife and son went. I have to say it was GREAT. He was doing really well and you know he was in the springs earlier, so a grueling campaign trail.
I'm guessing about 3,000 folks and the house just about came down on more than one occasion. It did my heart good to hear so many cheering for him. Re-energized my son and my wife. My wife was thinking he was kind a weak on account of how he never buts in on the debates. Now she has completely changed her mind and really likes him big time.
Everyone was pumped and all had a great time. Lasted for a couple of hours.
I never thought I would hear any politician say the things Dr. Paul says. he's got big steel ones.
It was their 51st anniversary as well - so everyone wished them a happy anniversary.

It looks like Ron is now focusing on the Congress.

Supposedly with Romney out, the delegate/Brokered Convention idea is slim and he said he will definitely not run 'third party'.

Full article from Prison Planet http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/february2008/020908_ron_paul.htm

It sounds like he will still be getting the message out at primaries just like before so the message will continue to get to more ears.

I think he will do all his supporters a dis-service by not running third party. Here is a video that shows you how biased our system has become. Very short.

Ron Paul Does Not Exist

I too am disappointed that he will not consider a third party run. I also find his statement that he wants to run for congress again, that he ows this to the people in his district, a little weak. What would have happened to them, if by some miracle he had won the nomination and then went on to win the Presidency? How come his campaign people did not think about this before? Couldn't someone like his son Rand Paul, Alex Jones, or who ever run for congress in his district? This is a weak excuse for me. So while Ron Paul still claims to be in the running, his whold candacy has had the heart ripped out! There are those who claim that Paul did not write this letter and that he did not even see it. That it was put out by the disgruntled people who he had to let go last friday. The letter was completed and posted somewhere around 11 P.M. So it bould have been a disgruntled former campagin worker.

If Paul only wanted to educate that is a different matter. At 72 years of age one would think that he might be at the point of retiring.

It is a great message and I truly feel that Ron Paul is a decent and honorable man. The sad thing is his age, and their is no one else who seems to be willing to stand in his shoes ................yet!

There are 2 pieces by Ron Paul that Peter decided to put in his Newsletter:

The first is on the 'Homegrown Terrorist Act'

and the second on currency and getting back to sound $

I really liked them (good to share with others IMO) and are probably like 2/3rd's to 3/4's of the way down the page at

Actually, I'll post the first article cause it's short here:

Ron Paul on the VRHTPA
Before the House of Representatives, December 5, 2007

Remarks on Violent Radicalization & Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act, HR 1955
by Ron Paul

Mr. Speaker, I regret that I was unavoidably out of town on October 23, 2007, when a vote was taken on HR 1955, the Violent Radicalization & Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act. Had I been able to vote, I would have voted against this misguided and dangerous piece of legislation. This legislation focuses the weight of the US government inward toward its own citizens under the guise of protecting us against "violent radicalization."

I would like to note that this legislation was brought to the floor for a vote under suspension of regular order. These so-called "suspension" bills are meant to be non-controversial, thereby negating the need for the more complete and open debate allowed under regular order. It is difficult for me to believe that none of my colleagues in Congress view HR 1955, with its troubling civil liberties implications, as "non-controversial."

There are many causes for concern in HR 1955. The legislation specifically singles out the Internet for "facilitating violent radicalization, ideologically based violence, and the homegrown terrorism process" in the United States. Such language may well be the first step toward US government regulation of what we are allowed to access on the Internet. Are we, for our own good, to be subjected to the kind of governmental control of the Internet that we see in unfree societies? This bill certainly sets us on that course.

This seems to be an unwise and dangerous solution in search of a real problem. Previous acts of ideologically motivated violence, though rare, have been resolved successfully using law enforcement techniques, existing laws against violence, and our court system. Even if there were a surge of "violent radicalization" – a claim for which there is no evidence – there is no reason to believe that our criminal justice system is so flawed and weak as to be incapable of trying and punishing those who perpetrate violent acts.

This legislation will set up a new government bureaucracy to monitor and further study the as-yet undemonstrated pressing problem of homegrown terrorism and radicalization. It will no doubt prove to be another bureaucracy that artificially inflates problems so as to guarantee its future existence and funding. But it may do so at great further expense to our civil liberties. What disturbs me most about this legislation is that it leaves the door wide open for the broadest definition of what constitutes "radicalization." Could otherwise nonviolent anti-tax, anti-war, or anti-abortion groups fall under the watchful eye of this new government commission? Assurances otherwise in this legislation are unconvincing.

In addition, this legislation will create a Department of Homeland Security-established university-based body to further study radicalization and to "contribute to the establishment of training, written materials, information, analytical assistance and professional resources to aid in combating violent radicalization and homegrown terrorism." I wonder whether this is really a legitimate role for institutes of higher learning in a free society.

Legislation such as this demands heavy-handed governmental action against American citizens where no crime has been committed. It is yet another attack on our Constitutionally protected civil liberties. It is my sincere hope that we will reject such approaches to security, which will fail at their stated goal at a great cost to our way of life.

I haven't totally read it, and recently have not had much time available for being on the internet unfortunately, but I got an urgent sounding Ron Paul hopeful email and wanted to pass it on:
**********

This Is How Ron Paul Will Win

"The fact is Dr. Paul is a genius in his strategy and we are further
ahead in delegates than you think and we can win the nomination."

I was an administrator for the Democratic party for over 6 years and I am well educated in the nomination process, I left the party to support Dr. Paul so I know what I am talking about.

If you doubt my post go and research it yourself PLEASE here:
http://www.gop.com/images/2008_Call_FINAL.pdf

PLEASE EVERYONE COPY AND SEND THIS TO THEIR EMAIL LIST AND MEETUP HEADS AND ANY OTHER RON PAUL FORUM THERE IS.

I know many of you are new to the election process but don't worry.

I am going to go into some depth of how this all works so read and then read again if you need to.

Did you know that the delegates can actually vote to unbind their delegates that are bound by state rules? Did you know that delegates can actually overturn any previous vote? Did you know the delegates have control of the entire process?

The MSM is not reporting how to become the nominee in a situation like this so I will tell you to stop getting your info from the MSM.

I know many of you are bummed about Dr. Paul not getting more votes in the states popular vote BUT THAT IS BECAUSE YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW THE ELECTION SYSTEM WORKS : Let me explain to you the reality of how to become the nominee.

First stop looking at who wins each states popular vote for most of these states the vote by the people is really nothing but a straw poll and have no real bearing on who will become the nominee. The only way this matters is if 1 person receives 1191 delegates that are bound by state rules to be commited to that candidate. So if a candiate like Mccain now has 906 delegates now but he doesn't reach 1191 WHICH HE WILL NOT most of the delegates the state awarded him mean nothing and keep in mind in most of the states most of the people that represent the 906 for Mccain are actually Ron Paul supporters. NOW there is no possible way that anyone in the race can achieve this goal now because of the major split in state wins by the candidates.

Normally Convention Delegates do not matter because the convention is not brokered and we have a clear winner because someone has 1191 delegates. BUT THIS YEAR IS DIFFERENT. This will be a brokered convention there is no way around it. Do you see how the Ron Paul campaign strategy will work.

When a candidate wins delegates by winning a primary that does not mean there are actual people that won acting as delegates- these are virtual delegates.

What do I mean by virtual delegates: A virtual delegate is just a number - there are no actual people YET that will go and vote for the candidate who won the particular state at the national convention. We call these people convention delegates

The actual delegates are voted on (in most states) at a statewide delegate caucus after the Primary (which is just a giant preference poll) Who can be delegates? Anyone. In closed Primary states they must be registered Republicans, in Open Primary states they can be Republicans, Democrats, Independents.

View the hard count of actual pledged delegates here:
http://www.thegreenpapers.com/P08/R.phtml

And we have lots of delegates.

Out of the 2,380 delegates sent to Minneapolis St. Paul in September:

? 463 delegates are bound all the way through the convention some of those 463 are Ron Paul's people.

? 565 delegates will be bound through one ballot. That is, they have to follow the results of the state election on the first ballot. After that, if no candidate has a majority of delegates, they are free to vote as they please and Mccain will not receive over 50% on the first ballot.

? 383 will be bound through two ballots then they are free to vote for whom they wish.

? 318 will be bound through three ballots then they are free to vote for whom they wish.

I am not going to list every state and what the break downs are, just do the math from these numbers or look for yourself here:
http://www.gop.com/Images/AllStateSummaries.pdf

Bottom line is less than 1/2 of the delegates are bound by state party rules. Now do you see how we can win this thing?

So what happens now you ask? You look at the number of delegates that Dr. Paul has that are uncommited to the other candidates and will support him. these delegates are not decided by the popular vote ie: straw poll of the people. Since no one will have enough delegates to skate them through to the nomination we now must look at how many delegates NOT VOTES but delegates Dr. Paul has that are 100% uncommited to the other candidates and will be 100% for Dr. Paul and are free to vote for whom they wish.

This race will go all the way to the convention for there is no other way for someone to receive the nomination until the convention.

The RNC will convene its annual Winter Meeting - and voters will continue to cast their ballots in the nation's primaries and caucuses. Candidates for delegate and alternate delegate to the convention will be elected - and thousands of convention participants and guests will begin planning their trips to Minneapolis-Saint Paul The first week in September 2008

SO WHAT DOES ALL THIS MEAN?

This means that all of the people that registered to become a delegate for Dr. Paul can go to the convention and cast their vote for Dr. Paul, now think about what I just said : Do you think for one second that all the people that voted for Dr. Paul and filed to become a delegate will not show up at the convention to vote for the good Doctor? Of course they will just like they battled the rain and the sleet and the 15 below zero winter weather to knock on doors and wave signs spreading our message.

Now I assure you that even though we didn't win the popular vote in many states WE DID PICK UP THE MAJORITY OF DELEGATES THAN ALL THE OTHER CANDIDATES IN MOST EVERY STATE EXCEPT A FEW. So yes they won the straw poll and we won what counts which is delegates.

Doesn't Dr. Paul need to WIN 5 states to be on the ballot at the convention for the nomination?

NO THIS IS NOT TRUE for people were just confused on how it actually works.

We only need the majority of delegates from 5 states to be put on the ballot NOT THE POPULAR VOTE OF 5 STATES and I assure you we have picked up the majority of uncommitted delegates for Dr. Paul in more than 5 states.

Do any of you remember seeing posts by myself and many others that said BECOME A DELEGATE? There is still time in most states to become a delegate for the convention and we are picking up more of them every day.

So please STOP! you worry too much because you do not understand how the election system works and you thought we lost didn't you? I assure you we have not!

The fact is Dr. Paul is a genius in his strategy and we are further ahead in delegates than you think and we can win the nomination.

I hope this gives a better understanding of how we have been winning even though most of you thought we were not.

NOW LET'S KEEP WORKING! FILE TODAY AND BECOME A DELEGATE BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!
