Good day everyone.

Today many people are reacting to their disappointment. Some are backsliding into whatever they were before this revolution. Some are simply giving up. Some are blaming everyone but themselves. Some are succumbing to the "war on Americans" by those in power.

On the other hand, many are licking their wounds and pulling themsleves up by their bootstraps. Many are madder than hell and more determined than ever to fight harder for their dreams. Many are in various states of shock or disbelief and are thinking a lot and reassessing a lot before they eventually recommit to the cause in which they so strongly believe.

To those of you in any of these or other categories I say do what you must for what you believe. If you believe this movement is for the wrong reasons and against everything you believe. Go away! Go and find whatever it is in which you really believe and leave the rest of us alone. Good luck to you, but we do not need your negativity here. Eventually you will succumb to the same power and set of standards to which up to now you have been opposed. Be what it is you think you deserve to be. You will never be happy again, but you may yet gain some semblance of satisfaction among the sheep. Maybe you will exist just fine in that life, but you have tasted the call of freedom and you will never be the same person again.

To those of you who believe this movement is for the right reasons, congratulations! You have taken and are taking your licks and bumps and bruises and are willing to pick yourselves up by your bootstraps and go on. You will never be unhappy for the efforts you have made and will continue to make the efforts for that in which you believe. You know you can never be happy among the sheep, adapting to the sheep mentality. You know that you would rather fight as hard as you can for those beliefs than to live the remainder of your lives as slaves. If you continue to fight and stay united for the best ever cause of your lifetime, you will never regret it, never regret what might have been, if you had just kept fighting for freedom.

A few of you will go away, but you will be so unhappy that you will return. Fine. Take a break and pull youselves together. You may be burning out, but because you have tasted the message of freedom and justice, you will not be able to stay away. We will welcome you back, but please take personal responsibility for your own shortcomings as we all must, and bring the best of yourselves back to the fold. You must because you know you can never be the same person again.

Remember all of you, that Dr. Paul is twice or three times the age of many here and he is NOT giving up. He believes in you, the grassroots, under which he has somehow ignited a flame. He has spent at least half of his life unsung, unacknowledged, belittled, and shunned by his own colleagues, by Americans, and by those who fear his message. That is a long time to wait for liberty. Dr. Paul has never given up in all those years. He has acquired a set of principles by which to live and he has introduced them to us to either accept or disown, in whole or in part. This is what makes him a statesman rather than a politician. This is the stuff of greatness. Would you too like to find the greatness in yourselves?

Today I ask each of you to look a little deeper into yourself, and find the person you really are. Find the thing inside you which will determine what kind of person you wish to become and will become. Do not be afraid to fight for what you believe is right. Do not be afraid to suffer setbacks and losses. Do not be afraid to win. Step by step, inch by inch, battle by battle, make way for small victories that will lead to greater victories. Never look back and have to regret that you could have done more. Live each deed, each day, and each success, but always strive toward the next battle, for to let down your vigilance and think you have done everything necessary for victory will only return us to the status quo or worse.

This is the fight of your life! There will never be another so great nor so demanding as in the taking back of your America. There will never be another fight that pits obstacles so great and varied against you on every front. You are not just fighting one battle, but many battles with enemies and obstacles everywhere and from both above and below, left and right. It is a huge war for the minds of men and women all over America. You must win them all, one by one and at every level, from every angle. It requires patience and intelligence and perserverance. It is hard, not easy. The rewards will be unbelievably great and your grand-children will honor you for your dedication and efforts.

It is very difficult to fight on so many fronts. The establishment has taken years to entrench itself among the people. The people have grown inured to more and more suppression. It was done so gradually that we did not know what had happened. This was the plan all along and it worked. Many people still do not even realize that they have been duped. They will not come to realize and understand it overnight, because they have been so slowly programmed to be as they are.

It will require patience with people to explain and to help them understand, because so many are tied to remedies of this evil system which has enslaved them. There likely is not anyone whose life is somehow untouched by some tool or mechanism of this government, including each of us. Look at the results thus far and see where, how, and why you are not succeeding. Then use your intelligence and common sense to change those things. You are the campaign. This is part of the responsibility Dr. Paul speaks of when he says you must assume responsibility for your own lives and not rely on government and others to resolve problems. Practice the philosophy and success will come. Be strong, be brave, and be confident in your own ability to change the world. No matter what the outcome, you will have gained for yourselves the one thing that can never be taken away. You will become people of great honor and integrity, who can look back on your lives one day and know that each one of you did the right thing and tried to leave a better world for your children and all those who come after you.

Thank you for reading this.
