Below The Radar

Rate: 1 Flag

I thought I'd take this opportunity to give you all a quick update on the election from my point of view. As you may or may not know I fully support Congressman Ron Paul and will do so throughout the 2012 election cycle. If you watch the main stream media you've probably come to the conclusion that he is all but out of the race at this point. That could not be further from the truth.

First of all the "Black This Out" Moneybomb was a HUGE success taking in almost 3 million dollars in a 24 hour period and it is continuing to gather donations as we speak. The Ron Paul Campaign for Liberty is alive and well and we have money to go the distance. 

What the media can't see and what they refuse to report on is the incredible grass roots support behind Ron Paul. If you look at where his support and his donations are coming from they are almost exclusively from THE PEOPLE. Romney, Perry, Cain, et al are all getting donations from BIG BANKS, Wall Street, major corportations and the list goes on. Not Ron Paul. He is getting his donations from the people.

The weekend leaflet handouts are going well and there are more and more people that are starting to listen to Ron Paul. Time and the economy (unfortunately) are on his side. We are going to be staring a horrible economy and massive inflation in the face in about 6 months and Ron Paul's message is going to resonate loudly. 

It has been humorous to watch other candidates co-opt Ron Paul's ideas such as auditing The Fed, ending the wars, cutting goverment spending,etc. The shameful fact about it all though is the media gives the credit to the other candidates and leaves Ron Paul out of the conversation. That's fine. He loves the fact that he is actually influencing and guiding the narrative of this election cycle. Technically, he has already won the argument.

There is still a long way to go and we know that but our numbers grow EVERY day and the passion and momentum is increadible. If you REALLY want to get on board with a candidate that you can trust and feel good about getting behind then Ron Paul is your candidate. This country is at a crossroads and the direction we head in will have major repercussions for the future. If we stay on the path we are on we will soon be in another war, our currency will collapse and double-digit unemployment will be the norm. Like all empires, this one too will fall.

What kind of America do you want to live in?

Ron Paul, in harkening back to the original intentions of our Constitution is, ironically, a man too far ahead of his time to be elected.
I'd like to see Paul get elected, but the elitists would kill him the second he tried any serious reform.
I don't disagree with either one of you and that is why we are doing out best to keep him below the radar until the time is right. The "stealth" campaigning is working well and we are reaching the people we want to reach. This election, like most, will be won or lost in the middle and no other candidate appeals more to the Independent voter than Ron Paul. In fact, we could even see a Third Party plan evolve here so keep your eyes peeled.
