My friends, I ask you to ignore minutia for a moment, and read these words of urgency.
We need to stop for a minute, and think about what we have done. We have accomplished greatness in so little time. We have endured a media blackout, managed to dominate the world of the internet, beaten all U.S. political fund raising records, and transformed a no-name congressman into a serious presidential contender with strong showings in several states' primaries and caucuses.
With our country hanging in the balance, we are on the foothills of the most important election in, perhaps, our nations history. Mark my words: We will never get another chance at this. We will never get another chance at restoring the constitutional republic that made America the envy of the world.
We need to get back our solidarity; we need to regain our definiteness of purpose. We need to stop worrying about who said what about who, and cease chatting about who isn't being nice to Dr. Paul, or what news channel is the most biased, etc, etc. Each on of us became a Ron Paul supporter despite what went on in the media. I know that when I found out about Ron Paul, the media's treatment of him was considerably worse than it is now. But as soon as I heard that message, my life was changed. I don't even watch TV anymore. I'm sure it happened the same way for many of you. People know the message is real when they hear it - So real, in fact, that they spring in to action. That is something the media will never be able to prevent. That is what puts us ahead of all the others in terms of grassroots action - When we wake up, we don't go back to sleep.
But, in this day, there are so many obstacles facing us. There is complication at every turn, struggle with every step. I know it is easy to become distracted when there is so much to do with so little time. I have fallen victim to preoccupation also. But our "little experiment in self-governance" will die right here in its infancy if we don't fuel the wildfire that is this revolution. And our furnace is burning low.
Ron Paul's message will not be able to spread at the accelerated rate necessary now without our continued donations. It is simply impossible. We need the campaign to help us spread the word at rates impossible to achieve on our own. You know as well as I that in order for the campaign to do that, the campaign needs our money. They need consistent sustenance in the form of our generous donations. This is the endgame of phase one, and in order for us to come out victorious, we must not falter even for a second.
We must all donate at once. I just donated, myself. It may not be much, but it is something, and it's all I can afford right now. If more people realize the direness of our situation, and match my donation, it will add up quickly. Will you join me? Will you help me help this revolution continue to flourish?
