I wanted to thank each of you for your generous contributions - whether in money to the campaign, your time and energy in spreading Ron Paul's Freedom Message, your time taking trips to New Hampshire, or just your time hanging out at our parties and debates.
You, the Freedom Activists in NYC, are in large part the reason Ron Paul did better here in NY than any other Super Tuesday Primary State - right here in NY. You helped raise tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars to spread Ron Paul's message of Individual Liberty. I also sincerely hope you had as much fun as I did along the way.
It is my turn to pass the torch of this meetup group, the largest and the flagship of the Ron Paul Meetup Juggernaut (http://ronpaul.meetup.com), to the capable Bill (http://ronpaul.meetup.com/50/members/4827099/), Luke (http://ronpaul.meetup.com/50/members/4853889/), Dave (http://ronpaul.meetup.com/50/members/1427543/), Nick (http://ronpaul.meetup.com/50/members/4315682/), Jobayer (http://ronpaul.meetup.com/50/members/4178298/), Ron (http://ronpaul.meetup.com/50/members/576402/), and even Evan (http://ronpaul.meetup.com/50/members/4196002/), amongst others, for I will be leaving NYC soon. Your energy and dedication have encouraged me to dedicate my life to the Freedom Movement , however, so my war is not yet over.
Neither is yours - there are battles yet to be fought, whether it be Murry Sabrin's run for Senate in NJ (http://www.murraysabrin.com/home.aspx), or Jim Forsythe's run for Congress in NH (http://www.jimforsythe.com/), or the battle to convince that Republican you know that war is really another big-government program, or that Democrat you know that economic freedom is every bit as important, if not more so, as all other freedoms. Join the Young Republicans (http://www.nyyrc.com/), the Manhattan Libertarian Party (http://www.manhattanlp.org/), your local Republican (http://www.tr-group.com/events/events.php), Democratic (http://manhattanyoungdems.org/), or Independent Club (http://maps.google.com/maps?num=100&hl=en&safe=off&rlz=1B3GGGL_enUS221US221&um=1&ie=UTF-8&q=political+clubs&near=Manhattan,+New+York&fb=1&view=text&sa=X&oi=local_group&resnum=1&ct=more-results&cd=2), and stay active, for our revolution is just beginning.
Ron Paul speaks of a world of peace, freedom and prosperity. But YOU are the makers of that world, and your children will one day reap the benefits. Ron Paul may have sparked in your imagination a better, more free world. But YOU are the ones who will make it so, and manifest it in your hearts, minds, and bodies for the rest of your lives. Ron Paul may have cured your apathy, but YOU are the passioned supporters who shall NEVER BE APATHETIC AGAIN.
We, friends here in NYC, are a small group of Americans. And we are the spark for this modern American revolution, the revolution to restore the Republic, the Constitution, and Freedom in America. Continue the fight with me and the new leaders of the movement here in NYC.
Collectivism won the 21st century. We, the freedom movement, can win the 21st.
Thank you.
