Yes we did, but new dramatic things keep taking place in this revolution. Also I wanted to rephrase my question by adding "so far" because too many have stated before that "it hasn't happened yet".

The 5th of November was awesome, it was our first moneybomb and no one knew how it would turn out. That was exciting.

BJ Lawson won his primary in an epic landslide.

Without a doubt, the billionaire. A close second would be Ron Paul Racing. Getting Anuz is good too

I think in the end the book will be the best moment or for a better wording the longest lasting that will continue for years to come. I think parents will read it to their children and friends will discuss it over coffee.

November makes my stomach hurt lol

I Choose B!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anuz,the Michigan GOP, and Michael Steele, had no idea what they were stepping into!!!!!!!!!!

I had a lot of fun with that one!

Ron Paul Republicans winning primaries is nice. Maybe we can get a few into congress.

I'd have to say the Nov 5th money bomb. It was when the power of the grassroot organization really sunk in to me. The book hitting the charts will be an even bigger accomplishment but not as obvious. Hard to track that kind of impact.

The little things thrill me also. Driving by a new Ron Paul sign. Finding out a friend of a friend is a Ron Paul supporter.

5th of November has to be the "biggest", but several debate responses rank right up there. "So you're saying the Republican party doesn't want me because I'm a strict fiscal conservative?" for example. Those moments were like dreams come true.

FINALLY SOMEBODY SAID IT!

but #1 on the Times bestseller list is yet another great moment, as was the Ames speech, and the "Ron Paul" train that effectively announced to the world the enthusiasm of the grassroots.

Ron Paul signs dancing in the windows behind Frank Putz' focus group of animatrons and party sheeple was another rather enjoyable moment. Sorry, I can't seem to stop. Ok I will.

"I take my marching orders from the Constitution."

Maybe future candidates will bother to open it up and read it.

Third best was during a debate: "Ronald Reagan campaigned for me."

Second best--Super Tuesday and voting for Dr. Paul again for the first time in twenty years.

Number one--every time I hear the words, "You know, you have a point" or "you know, he has a point."

H: February 12th 4 Maryland Ron Paul Republican campaigners win their primaries, representing half of the congressional districts in the state.

Then again, I am a little bias

Finding Rachels "Junkie" video and then Aravoths videos. I suddenely felt like there were more people you applied logic to government besides me.

The money bomb November 5th.

And honorable mention is the look Paul gave McCain after the Hitler comment during the debates.

Realizing that Ron Paul's message applied the world over (including us apathetic Canadians) :p

Then realizing the whole world agreed! (http://www.whowouldtheworldelect.com) :eek: :D

The best moments of the "Ron Paul Revolution" were Congressman Paul's participation and stellar performances in all of the Presidential debates, especially when he kept winning in the FOX News text-in polls! Ah, those were the good ol' times...

This topic has been discussed before: http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?p=1433030#post1433030

Being a bit biased I have to agree with Dave's answer to that thread in post #28: http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?p=1433030#post1433030

It showed Doctor Paul's message spread early and fast without the help of the msm (and actually the msm tried to counter the strength of Doctor Paul's message).

For me it was the final week of September 2007....

Ron Paul put up a goal to raise 500K by the end of the month (about 1 week).

That goal was reached in 3 days so what did he do... raised the goal to
$1 million. And 3 more days that goal was reached.

BAM... that was the beginning of true hope for me.

Here's my blog post the day it happened:

http://www.libertymaven.com/2007/09/29/ron-paul-raises-over-100000000-that-is-1-million-online-in-less-than-6-days/215/

A very close 2nd was the night in August when Lord Xar and many others from the forums attempted to collaborate in the justin.tv chat in putting together what ended up coming to fruition as the Ames Newspaper Ad that came out the morning of the Iowa Straw Poll.

Here's my blog post when that happened, including the ad image if you've not seen it before:

I agree. That was euphoric seeing those numbers on the poll.

The best moment was today.

A co-worker saw the Manifesto on my desk (with three additional copies underneath it), asked why I had four copies, and happily accepted one copy from me when I said they were free to interested parties. "That guy interests me. Yes, I'd love to read his book. Really? Free?"

2. Finding like minded thinkers making me feel like I am NOT alone in this country within my area.

1. Being a genuine Freedom Fighter is fucking satisfying when you have a cause and brothers in arms to work with.

I nominate aravoth's videos. Those will outlast Ron Paul's candidacy, are well executed, and do a great job at waking people up.

I'm still hoping to go to the rally on July 12th. Maybe that will blow the lid off this whole rEVOLution.

Down to two. Another co-worker just asked "What's that?" "Free for interested parties" seems to be the right pitch, as the second copy quickly changed hands. "I can give it back when I'm done." "Nah, just pass it around to someone else. Spread the love."

I swear I'm buying 10 more when these last two disappear.

I can't believe no one mentioned the FOX News Boycott thing after Dr. Paul was excluded from the New Hampshire forum. All the local Fox Affiliates that we bullied into fearing us, getting their sponers to stop adverstising, throwing snow at Hannity...At still beat Fred Thompson in New Hampshire, who was INCLUDED in the debate.
