This gentleman may just be the most passionate supporter I have ever met. It was Ed, and a few others who got this whole ball rolling. He was a huge help on my bike ride (he is RPRider #3) and has been involved in many of the actions that have propelled this movement.

He stayed with me here, for a couple days after the march, and has a great idea to take the slow road home and do an inspirational speaking tour.

If your group wants to have a fun, informative night with a legend and true patriot/activist, contact them through MU # 7, (or PM me and I can forward)


My name is Ed, and I'm the Organizer of The Ron Paul for President - Phoenix Meetup Group. We were the first Ron Paul Meetup Group, created before Ron threw his hat in the ring, and it was our Group members that devised the now infamous "Ron Paul R3VOLUTION" banner with the evol letters in red, transversed, and outlined in red to accentuate the word "LOVE" that appears. Since Ron has suspended his Presidential Campaign our Group is now "Ron Paul and his Campaign for Liberty = R3VOLUTION! Meetup Group". Phoenix is the birthplace of the R3VOLUTION, and has been in the forefront of activism that has been felt not just here in America, but across the planet. The inroads made just in the making of banners and the brilliance of that story alone is marvelous.
Needless to say, I have seen alot. I have done alot.


I was one of the two Lt. Marshals at the Revolution March in Washington D.C. in charge of Security under Grand Marshal Trevor Oyate, I personally guarded Congressman Paul at the stage before he went on, and I was honored to be in charge of the assembly point, and to be able to give the word to begin the March.


This is a YouTube video taken of me at the Assembly Point

And this was after driving with my fellow Group Members 41 hours from Phoenix to DC with limited stops, putting up banners all the way - including five more hours of putting up banners in and around the Capitol when we got there because we were so pumped up. Followed by the distribution and posting of approximately 15 to 20 thousand pieces of literauture and the hundreds of banners put up in the days leading up to the March. By the time the March started, I had had six hours sleep total since arriving in D. C., and only two meals.


I had a friend and RP supporter help me out by taking over six hours of digital video for me from directly stage left. This adds to the 20 to 30 hours of videotape taken at our Group's events over the last year and then some - taken mostly by my hand.


I was so moved by the sum total of my life, my experiences, walking hallowed grounds for the first time, Marching with so many like minded Patriots that just want the simple freedoms that were given by Providence and are guaranteed by our Supreme Law of the Land the U. S. Constitution (is that so much to ask?), and weeping at the foot of the Jefferson Memorial, I have decided I am not going home. Not yet. I sent the party I came with back without me.
I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I didn't do everything in my power to fire people up and get them empowered to do what has to be done to not let the bad guys win. Since they own the media, we have had to become our own media, and speaking in public to groups of people and word-of-mouth have been our only alternative for the majority of people who do not have computers or internet access - aside from 'street actions' in the form of cards and flyers put on cars and in places where they can be seen by large amounts of the public. So I am going on tour to do what I do best - speak my heart to the People. It seems when I do that, people get infected somehow by getting the message I have, warming their hearts, and stoking the fire that burns within us all that truly wants things to be right - but are oppressed - yes I used the right word - oppressed by demands on their personal lives that would be relieved immediately if they weren't giving so much of the fruits of their labor to a small number of men in charge that have been acting in unconstitutional ways that keep their feet on the back of the necks of said individuals that JUST WANT TO BE LEFT ALONE. To live their lives and work and raise their families in their own way. Without intrusion.


I want to try and do for our Country what I did for our Meetup Group at home: RECHARGE THEIR ENTHUSIASM BATTERIES! I am going to attempt to speak to as many RP/CFL Meetup Groups as I can from New York to California. If I am successful, I will continue the tour through Northern California, Oregon, Washington, and work my way Eastward until I catch up with The Great American Walk for Freedom, and March into Minneapolis in early September with Congressman Paul and many others that are now coming from three different directions beginning August 11th.


If your Group, or any small gathering of your Group is interested in hearing me speak and talking with me afterwards, please let me know. My personal e-mail adress is: psychictaxi@yahoo.com - and please include a phone number where I can call you.

Bump for an amazing story about all the signs in DC people saw and where some of them came from.

Thank you for your kind words my good friend! I am still with my son in Syracuse, having a most necessary and excellent reunion. I will probably depart here after this weekend, and begin to head for Pittsburg, where I believe I will be speaking at a picnic and barbeque on Sunday, August 3rd. I had a communication with a NY Group, but they didn't get back with me. Hoping to get more responses as the message is spread around (there are several people working on generating some buzz, but the communication lines within the Movement are still patchy. The biggest problem I see is due to the huge volume of e-mails generated in the peak of the Presidental Campaign many Meetup Members opted to stop receiving Group mass e-mails! We need to get on the PHONE and start bringing these people home and getting them to understand the 'long-range' goals that are in place via the Campaign for Liberty).
