Dr.Paul, Please, please don't ever drop from this race. I am a disabled Combat Veteran with a 100% Service Connected Total & Permanent Disability. As such, I live on a very meager VA disability income. I have given more to your campaign than what I receive in a month from disability. Yes, it hurt our finances; but we think it to be a sound investment. My wife has had to drop out of the work force to stay home and take care of me, her pay for this; ZERO. WE NEED YOU!

Regards,
GMGCM West

This comment is from YouTube in response to a Ron Paul video after last nights debate. These are the people we are fighting for as well as ourselves. Don't you think we could find it in ourselves to fight back against the media?

I say we find this guy and put him on the campaign trail. If he cannot physically go out for Dr. Paul than we should get a film crew to his home to record a commercial and then the grassroots should reward him for his service.

i dont have the know-how, but someone who does needs to start a chip-in for this Veteran. well, first i guess we need to find out that the guy is legit, and then pitch in for him. I know that i'd donate what i could, and there are alot of others that would as well.

even if it didnt get on the MSM (which it most likely wouldnt) it would be something that man could cherish for the rest of his days.

It's bs we live in a country where our vets are treated like that and we STILL keep going to war. I'm so pissed over the whole situation.

That's a touching comment, but if everyone started a chip-in for every person that needed money , we'd be socialists.

We need to focus on getting the government to take care of him for his work, and then making sure that we don't ever have that many like him to take care of in the future.

FALSE!

If we all chipped in voluntarily, we would be living the American way.

Socialism is mandatory redistribution by the government. The two are fundamentally and exactly different. Charity is not socialism. I know you know the difference. One is voluntary and the other is not.

The best way to help this guy is get Ron Paul elected. This is his deepest desire. and we need to find the balls to fight back against the media.

Thanks guys for getting it straight. Socialism is marked by complete egalitarianism and Public interveniton by confiscatory taxation. Giving to the needy privately IS the American way as someone already said.
