The head of one of our local Meetup groups wrote the following to encourage people to attend the Ron Paul rally here in Chicago. I thought this heartfelt letter does a superb job at selling Ron Paul or at least making people interested in learning more about him. Perhaps it will inspire others to write similar letters. Here it is in full:
Dear Friends and Family,
I can't ever think of a time that I have emailed my friends and family about a politician for public office. At this important time in our nation's history I am very excited to write you about a 2008 candidate for President, U.S. Congressman Ron Paul. I consider Ron Paul the most principled and honorable leader that our country has seen in my lifetime, perhaps longer, and he is coming to Chicago this weekend to deliver his message of Peace, Freedom, and Prosperity!
I have never before taken such proactive action towards electing a candidate to office. It's because until now I never found a candidate whose message rings so very true to me. Ron Paul is worth it. I believe that Ron Paul is the Thomas Jefferson of our generation!
You are invited to meet 2008 Presidential Candidate Ron Paul at rally this Saturday at the Chicago Hyatt Regency Hotel. http://www.ronpaul2008.com/events/illinois-events/
What: Chicago Ron Paul Peace, Freedom, and Prosperity Walk
Who: Open to the public. All are invited.
Where: Millennium Park Chicago, Illinois (Assemble near "The Bean")
Walk from Millennium Park to Ron Paul's Chicago Hyatt Regency's Rally for Peace and Freedom.

We will be peacefully and orderly walking on the sidewalks from Millennium Park ½ of a mile to the rally inside the Chicago Hyatt Regency. We are hoping Ron Paul will be walking with us, but he may not make it due to him coming directly from a conference in Michigan.

For those of you who don't know Ron Paul he is; a former member of our Air Force and National Guard as a Flight Surgeon, delivered over 4,000 babies as an OB/GYN , and is currently a U.S. Congressman from Lake Jackson, Texas serving his tenth term. He is the only anti-war republican candidate for President, he has been named the "Champion of the Constitution", and "Taxpayers Best Friend" His bio and positions can be found at www.RonPaulLibrary.org.
I have the greatest respect and admiration for Ron Paul, and I believe this nation would be a much better place if we had more people like him in public office throughout our land. As the leader of our country's Peace, Freedom and Prosperity movement, he is our country's best hope as President in 2008. I hope you take the time this weekend to hear him speak. I believe that Ron Paul's message of Peace, Prosperity, and Freedom will resonate with you unlike any politician has ever done before. I hope you will come to hear it this weekend!
I support Ron Paul for President! Here are some of the reasons why:
* Ron Paul had the foresight to vote against the Iraq War, and wants to bring our troops home immediately!
* Ron Paul is the "Champion of the Constitution", and he is one of a few who takes his oath of office support and defend the Constitution of the United States seriously. Ron Paul has voted against every bill that is contrary to or prohibited by the Constitution!
* Ron Paul believes in a foreign policy of non-interventionism, that does not provoke anger and terrorism towards our country!
* Ron Paul is the only candidate that talks about living beyond our means and the dangers of our National Deficit!
* Ron Paul has never voted for an unbalanced budget, and will immediately stop monetary inflation once elected President!
* Ron Paul wants to reduce unconstitutional federal government spending and shrink taxes!
* Ron Paul believes that purpose of government is to preserve the life, liberty, and property of each and every individual, and to ensure the peace and prosperity for our nation!
* Has delivered over 4,000 babies and as a doctor he has amazing plans to reverse the slide of our nation's health care system by using dollar for dollar tax deductions, increased medical freedom, and supporting charities!
* He was named "Taxpayers Best Friend Ever" by the National Taxpayers Union!
* I believe that Ron Paul is the Thomas Jefferson of our generation and I will do whatever I can to help his Peace and Freedom movement.
* There are many, many more reasons that I support Ron Paul, and those reasons can be found at RonPaul2008.com and RonPaulLibrary.org
Ron Paul is one of the most principled and courageous men I have ever known. He believes in our Constitution, and has voted that way for all of his 10 terms in Congress, even when he sometimes has had to stand alone. Most noticeably was his stance against his own Republican Party's leadership when it came to the Iraq War, the Constitutional destroying Patriot Act, and their intolerable deficit spending and inflationary policies. There are few people in public life who, through thick and thin, rain or shine, stick to their principles. Ron Paul is one of those few. Ron Paul makes it clear that his principles will never be compromised, and they never are.
I have started a Ron Paul meetup.com group for the Western and Northwestern suburbs of Chicago http://ronpaul.meetup.com/185/. We now number over 125 volunteers, and we have spread Ron's message through dozens of events locally. Our group is one of many Ron Paul meetup.com groups in Illinois. There are nearly 1,000 groups nationwide and 45,000 dedicated volunteers, much more than any other Presidential candidate. Dr. Ron Paul's message resonates across party lines, as many democrats, republicans, and independents alike have joined in our movement. We are part of a coalition of groups organizing this event and I strongly encourage all of you to attend!
As you can tell I am very passionate about Ron Paul for many, many reasons. I will stop gushing about him for now. Rather than hearing it from me, I encourage you to come to the rally this weekend and hear it from Ron Paul himself. You will not be disappointed!
Sincerely,
Brian Costin
P.S. If you are interested in helping our country achieve more Peace, Freedom, Prosperity, and respect for our Constitution please email this to everyone you know. Also, if you are so inclined, it wouldn't hurt to forward this information on to your local media.
"I am just absolutely convinced that the best formula for giving us peace and preserving the American way of life is freedom, limited government, and minding our own business overseas." –Ron Paul
