What thrilling rallies we've just had in Texas. First there were the
Students for Ron Paul at the University of Texas in Austin. The media
said 4,000 came. Our people think there were more like 7,000. In
any event, it was a very enthusiastic gathering of our revolutionaries,
as even the media admitted.
You will not be surprised to know that the young people there cheered
the pure message of liberty: no preemptive wars, no Federal Reserve,
no income tax, no police state, no drug war. Just American liberty and
the Constitution, in the tradition of the framers.
But the rally in Kileen, though much smaller, may have been just as
significant. Kileen is near Fort Hood, and among the 300 people who
attended were many active-duty soldiers (though not in uniform) and their
families. Whether it was the young man going back to Iraq for his
fourth tour, or the sister of a soldier just killed there, they all wanted
change in our foreign policy. Most heartbreaking was the young mother
who asked for a signed copy of the Constitution for her son, "who will
never know his dad." He too was just killed in Iraq.
How can we ask one young American to die for a neocon empire? The
soldiers and their families agree with us, which is why our campaign gets
more financial support from active-duty and retired military than all
the rest combined. They want to defend America, not be part of some
globalist scheme to take away our country's independence. And by the
way ,at both rallies, nobody was for the monstrous Trans-Texas Corridor
or the North American Union.
Coming up soon are the Texas and Ohio primaries, with others like
Pennsylvania not long afterwards. We are contesting every one, and we will
be heard at the Republican national convention in Minneapolis and
beyond. A substantial minority of Americans in all parties, not to speak
of Independents, agree with you and me. Until November and beyond, I
want to work to turn that minority into a majority, with your help.
