Subject line: Irresponsible vs. Irresponsible in '08--URGENT PLEASE FORWARD!
With the Dems offering Free Healthcare packages and other programs....
And the other Repubs offering Free and endless Wars
With irresponsible Foreign and Domestic Deficit Spending driving the value of the Dollar below the Canadian dollar and causing Double digit inflation, Paul seems like the only sane choice.
The Economy
The National Taxpayers Union report shows that all the other candidates will Increase FedGov spending by Billions of dollars. Paul will Decrease it:

http://people.ronpaul2008.com/campaign-updates/files/2008/01/2008pres_total.jpg
And the War expenditures by both parties are not even included in the budget, sending those projections hundreds of billions higher.
With the Economy becoming the Number one issue this campaign, the Dems and Repubs are endorsing the Short sighted tax rebate plan, which obviously won't work since we did the same thing in 2001, and we are in the same position a few years later. It may tide us over for a year or so, but we need Long term changes.
Paul's Comprehensive Economic Revitalization Plan would put in place the mature
Long Term Tax and Spending cuts necessary to promote growth and innovation, bring Jobs back to America, stop the falling Dollar, and cut Inflation.
Here is what Actual Inflation is at, if we calculate it like we used to prior to 1990:

2007 Quarter 4 Fundraising (http://query.nictusa.com/pres/2007/YE/)-------Military donations
Paul

7.8 mill left
0.0 debt
Romney

0.98 mill debt
Obama --------------------------($35,405 military)
Hillary-----------------------------($20,055 military
Paul has consistently raised the most money from the Military, Active and Retired, among all the candidates. Paul is a Veteran, and thus has beaten the only other Veteran, McCain, and the only other candidate against the Iraq war, Obama. He has done this Every quarter in 2007.
Our Soldiers are educated on who is looking out for our interests, are you?
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Foreign Policy
The media has hoisted out a set of buzz word labels to try to exclude him from reasonable debate.
His foreign policy is a Strong National Defense. We didn't need to invade the Soviets, and they were much more dangerous than a couple 3rd rate, 3rd world countries with no Navy or Airforce.
He voted the AUMF to go after AQ.
He wants to go after the terrorists. No other candidate mentions this.
He wants to not waste our hard earned money nation building, which conservatives railed against with Clinton.
He would restrict Student Visas from countries that support terrorism. This would have kept the Hijackers out.
He has always voted to secure the borders, and put forth bills to implement the 9/11 commission suggestions.
He would Defend our great nation if we were actually threatened or attacked. He follows the Christian theory of Just War.
He suggests we have more respect for the 2nd amendment, and allow Airlines to provide their own security or allow Pilots to carry firearms. This would have prevented 9/11.
-----------------------------------------------
Electability
In a year when the Dems are voting against their own interest (both candidates funded the war and voted for the Patriot Act), just to vote against Bush, we need the Social, Fiscal, and National security conservatives and Independents and Dems to win this election. Paul is the only one who can unite all of them.
After taking 2nd in Nevada, and the other 4 candidates having to form a Unity ballot in Louisiana in desperation to keep Paul from sweeping the state's Caucus, he has shown the strength of his Campaign. He is also doing well in both Maine and Hawaii.
He is going all the way to Convention folks! And he knows how to do it!! But he needs our help. He plans on stealing some of the Huckabee and Romney Delagates when they drop out after Super Tuesday.
Letter from Dr. Paul
January 28, 2008
When I started this campaign more than a year ago, I was a somewhat reluctant candidate. I knew our message of freedom, peace, and prosperity was the right one for our country, but frankly, I didn't know how many people today would have ears to hear it.
Well, did I learn a lesson! Millions of Americans understand what ails our country, and what is needed to fix it. So, with you at my side, I am in this effort to win. Not only by building the ideas of liberty, but by getting the nomination. Our opponents would call that nuts -- you know, the advocates of more inflation, more spending, more taxes, more war. But let me explain why they are, as usual, all wet.
For one thing, for the first time since 1952, we are headed towards a brokered convention. Instead of a coronation of one of the establishment candidates, the delegates, influenced by the people, will decide. And I am afraid that this will take place in a time of heightened economic crisis. That means even more Americans will be ready to hear our message. But it also means I am really going to need your help.
One would never know this from the mainstream media, but we've only had a few primaries and caucuses, and even after the extremely important date of February 5th, we will still have more than half to go. And the Republican nominee will not be decided by the popular vote among the "leading candidates" in a few states also handpicked by the media. The nominee will be decided by the delegates. So let me tell you a little about our "under-the-radar" strategy to get those delegates.
On "Super Tuesday," February 5th, there will be 22 primaries and caucuses. I have a hunch that we're going to do very well. But, of course, the media and the rest of the establishment refuse to recognize that. It's the attitude of the small child who covers his eyes to make something scary go away. But we are not going away.
While the media focus on the couple of states they claim are important, we're competing everywhere. And the reason that we're able to do that is because of your grassroots support. You all are an asset that no other campaign has: donors, and activists who want no special deals from the government, just the Constitution.
We're competing very strongly in all the caucus states, and in all other states where delegates are up for grabs. And we're going to keep picking up delegates. Our strategy's already working.
And we're committed to winning states. I have little doubt that if we can double our efforts in this coming week, we're going to grab many delegates from other candidates. Then we'll start getting ready for the biggest moment of all - the convention in September.
The path to the convention is twisty, however. When we were in Iowa, we got 10% of the vote. But no delegates were awarded that night. That's because voters didn't directly choose national convention delegates; they selected the county and state delegates who will make that decision. And if another candidate like Mike Huckabee is no longer in the race at the time of the state convention in June, his delegates are free to support whomever they want. If we work extra hard, we can convert them into delegates for our campaign!
A similar thing happened in Nevada. We won 14% of the straw poll vote that the media reported on, but what they didn't tell you was that we may have gotten up to a third of Nevada's delegates to their county conventions! I always laughed when I heard some people say Nevada didn't matter. Nevada chooses more delegates to the national convention than South Carolina.
So, while the media will focus on the results from Florida, and probably take down the campaign of my friend Rudy in the process, those results are less important to you and me. Let them fight in Florida while we bring our message to Americans in other areas, like the economically hard-hit state of Maine.
We want to win as many delegates to the Republican National Convention as possible, even if other campaigns don't see some areas of the country as "important. But in this work, I need your help. Help me get many, many delegates to this historic convention, by these three methods.
1. Donate. Your generous contributions are essential if we're going to keep going until September. We need, frankly $5 million by February 5 to run more TV and radio ads in the Super Tuesday states. Your help means everything: https://www.ronpaul2008.com/donate .
2. Canvass. You can help us identify those who support our message in your precinct. You can help us to convert others, too. After all, your neighbors pay attention to you. I am going to visit as much of the country as I can, but I need you as my partner in your area: https://voters.ronpaul2008.com .
3. ASK others to sign-up on our website. I meet so many people on the campaign trail who don't even receive my letters! I've told my campaign to make communication with you, the engine of all this, much better. But if people don't sign up for my e-mails, that won't happen. If you could just get one extra person to sign-up, that would be great. More would be tremendous.
Help me by forwarding this e-mail to every other Ron Paul supporter you know, and urging them to join our efforts! https://www.ronpaul2008.com/join .
We've come so far, but now the fun is really starting! I have a feeling the mainstream media will move from ignoring us to attacking us. But that will be a sign of our success. Join me as we continue this great movement into year two, and to a hot convention in Minneapolis-Saint Paul. We can do it!
Sincerely,
Ron

If you have never heard, Paul has run 10 times and won 10 times as a Republican in Texas (he is originally from Pennsylvania, so don't worry). When he ran in 1996, he was not the incumbant because he had left for a few years.
He was running at low single digits in the polls during the Primaries, had Both Bush's campaign against him, had both Repub Senators in Texas and Newt Gingrich (Speaker of the house) all Endorse his "Democrat turned Republican" opponent, AND STILL MANAGED A LANDSLIDE VICTORY!
Sound familiar? Here's the story.
http://www.concordmonitor.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080105/FRONTPAGE/801050301
He can do this folks, but he needs our help.
Canvass and tell your friends. His message of Freedom, Hope and Prosperity is hard to forget.
Donate if you can BEFORE Super Tuesday. He got $20 mill from individuals like you and me because he doesn't take Lobbyist money. If we can get him elected, he will be We the People's president, not some corporation's.
Tell your friends and family to sign up on the website.
Thanks
