You may all have been experts on party bylaws, election rules, and the huge body of regulations that elections must adhere to in your state, but I, for one, was totally clueless. If the majority of you were in the same place I was when I started supporting Ron Paul's message in earnest, I think we're doing a pretty damn good job. I hear stories everyday of "I became a delegate here" and "we motioned for this or that there," and they are so inspiring to me.
We started a year or two years or however long ago cold and without any idea how to procede, and now we're making progress in very real ways. Sure, we may not be winning sweeping victories over the established candidates left and right, but we are exercising our rights. We are political actors with our own measure of power and influence. We are in a position to make a difference that we were not in just a short time ago.
If anything, this campaign has proved that we are not powerless, and our foes are not invincible. We may not get the presidency in November, but we have a plan and we have purpose. I applaud the Ron Paul candidates at all levels of govenment like Sabrin and Sanders. This is more than a candidacy this is a real live revolution.
