Who could possibly walk away from what we have done?

[JohnnyWrath]

I have to wonder who, if we fail in this single mission, could not walk away from what we have started?

Those of us who were with this since the start have watched crowds of twenty turn into crowds of thousands in cities across the nation.

We started out pleased we reached a half of a million in a quarter, only later to find our relentless efforts smashing election records on "money bomb" days that made you feel and see something you would have never dreamed possible, only then to see the realization of a "true" grassroots effort of the people raising more money than candidates supported by special interest and corporate money...

Through our efforts and group mentality where we have encouraged and helped each other financially and with words....we have watched as THOUSANDS upon THOUSANDS who never even cared about politics for the most part, have gained knowledge of the system and process and have become ACTIVELY involved after years of not even caring.

We have fought since day 1 against the mainstream bought and sold GOP and the the mainstream media, and in many cases....we won. The powers that be have tried to silence and ignore Dr Ron Paul since the very start, and because we NEVER relented, he is still at debates and speaking the message even today.

FIGHT UNTIL THE VERY END....

And then some.....I can't be the only one that has seen what we have done....it is truly unbelievable. I have become almost obsessed with this campaign, because for the very first time in my entire life, I have been a part of something that proved, without doubt, that people can change things. I would love to give our great grandchildren the country and the life they were meant to have in the United States of America....I now see we actually CAN do that if we keep trying.

Keep donating, keep believing, keep fighting....we CAN keep growing, this is a revolution.

I started with the campaign in may, and man i've watched it all unfold. Quite someething.

[Sauron]

I need to walk away. I have better things to do. Yet I'm still a junkie. Ron Paul junkie, like the rest.

[Delaware]

It's important that we keep the message going.

Better things to do than fix this shithole country? I don't think Doritos, masturbation and Xbox, no matter how tempting, constitute 'better things.'

Ask not what you can do for your country. Ask what your country can do for you.

I don't think Doritos, masturbation and Xbox, no matter how tempting, constitute 'better things.'
Depends on the flavor of the Doritos, what kind of lube you use, and what Xbox game.

[Shink]

Ask not what you can do for your country. Ask what your country can do for you.

You must be referring to a welfare check. Enjoy.

With the exception of my being "new" (my awakening was after the Tea Party), I feel the same as OP.

I NEVER gave a $hit about politics, never cared, never hoped...never thought anything would ever change.

Becoming a mother gave me a reason to fight, and this movement, this revolution, gave me something to fight for. 2007 was the most amazing year of my life, and I, for the first time, look forward to the future. How can anything that gives people that kind of hope and passion be considered anything but an astonishing success?

I won't stop fighting...ever.

Thanks, OP, for the pick me up :)

It's not enough money. I demand more from my country. My belly grumbles for more doritos, my internets lack enough new porn to satisfy my masturbatory needs, and Xbox doesn't have enough Halo clones.

Glad to have you aboard! You hold an important position in the Revolution as a mother.:)

good, since there is a lot to fight for! we should have elections where the people's votes really result in something, and get our freedoms back, including food freedoms! soon, if we are not careful, we will no longer have any natual food, and no way to complain about that. www.gmwatch.org

[JoshLowry]

Not me. I know far too much now. I can no longer claim ignorance.

[DirtMcGirt]

I agree, nice post... there is no way i could walk away now...can't wait to see everyone in st.paul... set up your vacation days...

Yeah, this movement needs more breeders...that's my only criticism. When we all relocate to Montana and hoard guns and gold, we'll need more breeders to repopulate. I can't do it alone :P

Also, XBox needs to make a new Halo that works without me buying a whole new console...that should be a top priority for the next President of the US. Whoever does that has my vote hands down :)

Ask not what you can do for your country. Ask what your country can do for you.




So we have learned socialism from this whole experience?



Perhaps the original poster needs to explain what this movement is about. It sure as hell ain't about spreading socialism.

I have been walking this path, the path of Libertarianism for decades. Most of the time it is lonely as hell. I have supported Ron Paul for about that whole time. (As soon as I learned of him). It saddens me to think that so many people missed the message so completely. I do hope that we have spread the message of libertarianism and that people pick up on it.

The best way to keep any idea alive is to learn more about it yourself so that you can inform others and are always armed with a great deal of knowledge.

Libertarianism is the foundation of this country. Just like Ron Paul's message. Freedom and Liberty and limited government. Learn more, teach more, fight every attempt to take away your liberty in every context.

And this is not over yet. Now that Romney dropped out there are a lot of delegates who will be allowed to vote for whoever they want.

Why don't we try to get their phone numbers and make a few thousand calls to each of them individually? Delegates are all that matter, so stop calling single voters and call delegates. Ron Paul is still in this race and the convention has not been held.

The part that amazes me to no end is that this is probably the first actually effective grassroots effort I have ever seen. The media calls efforts like Obamas "grassroots" but he had mainstream media attention all day long the entire time...he also has special interest and corporations backing him....why that is grassroots...I am not sure, but what we have done here....may be the start of something that goes down in history as a defining moment....

When all is said and done...and if we do not win the presidency this time, I hope we stay organized and keep on..the fight for liberty, freedom, and the dream of the founders for this nation of individuals who matter is worth it...even after we choose our next candidate, I will still wear my "Ron Paul revolution" shirts to his rally....few events, and times, in my life have inspired me as much.

I have probably crammed 8 years of political knowledge into this one year....

That's kind of how I'm beginning to feel.

[perrin_for_paul]

grizzums, I love that you still have my baby as your avatar.

I just got a huge, 20" print of the picture from AP, with the caption and everything.

It looks like Ron Paul has a gold tooth in the pic. Its probably just lighting, but how awesome would that be?

I think we should have been focusing on waking people up all along.
