[torchbearer]

perhaps the title of my thread doesn't describe the info accurately? maybe it took to long to come out in the media?
I know i've been waiting for some kind of video on that ferry boat ride. does anyone else have youtube links for video on this event? i know i've read some blogs that indicated there were people taking video on the boat ride back...

[kylejack]

Torch bearer, you are a stone cold badass, good sir. I was afraid we would never get this footage.

Did you look in this thread? http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?t=19623

It also has links to the original 9&10 news video, which hopefully was tv broadcast.

I suspect most people probably travelled back today or late last night. It's about a 6 hour drive back to Detroit from Mackinaw.

Yeh, I even posted in that thread looking for this video... looks like I was the first to find it at this forum, another thread just popped up 60 seconds ago with the same youtube clip in it... but you know who brought it to ya first! The Torchbearer. (by the way, I have this handle for a reason.)

I saw that one, but thanks for the link. I have been looking for supporter video of it. The boat ride was the talk of the town on Saturday.
These were the only others I saw.

Ok, you get the BAMF award on this one.

[pcosmar]

Cool,Thanks.
I want to see one of the Parade/procession up the hill to the Grand Hotel. We got a little spread out following Dr. Paul.It was a good walk.
Ron Paul walks with a purpose.

Alright Yooper Jo, where ya from? Yer meetup seems to be croaking, although I think we should probably collapse the 3 northern MI meetups into 1 anyhow.

Nice. I just want to hug that man every time I see him.

[Yooper Jo]

Well, I am by Witch Lake (pop. maybe 100? lol)...no meetups around me, though I am quietly getting converts in the backwoods here. I am wondering if anyone has done a radio ad specifically on Dr. Paul's 2nd amendment stand?

I don't know, but there are the workings of a great script in RP's writings / speeches at the Ron Paul Library, including the column (http://www.ronpaullibrary.org/document.php?id=301) from which this little gem comes:



More importantly, however, the debate about certain types of weapons ignores the fundamental purpose of the Second amendment. The Second amendment is not about hunting deer or keeping a pistol in your nightstand. It is not about protecting oneself against common criminals. It is about preventing tyranny. The Founders knew that unarmed citizens would never be able to overthrow a tyrannical government as they did. They envisioned government as a servant, not a master, of the American people. The muskets they used against the British Army were the assault rifles of the time. It is practical, rather than alarmist, to understand that unarmed citizens cannot be secure in their freedoms. It’s convenient for gun banners to dismiss this argument by saying “That could never happen here, this is America”- but history shows that only vigilant people can keep government under control. By banning certain weapons today, we may plant the seeds for tyranny to flourish ten, thirty, or fifty years from now.

On a side note, my dad helped build that bridge. It is 50 this year, and so am I.
It was great to be there for this.

[dircha]

I find it so humorous that the clips of all the other candidates showed them telling how as president they would fix Michigan and end its "one state recession".

What, are they running for governor of Michigan now?

No, they're all the same. That's how this works. They buy people off to get them to vote for them. They buy special interests off to get their support. And they take my hard earned tax dollars to do it.

It's worse than redistribution of wealth. It's redistribution of wealth to garner political power for someone who stands against everything I believe in, and I don't have any choice in the matter.

[jj111]

Can anyone edit the end of the YouTube off, the part that has Romney and McCain? The only interesting part of the clip is the first part before you get to Romney and McCain.

For Mitt. They look like androids for Mitt.

[Corydoras]

Here's an article about RP just before the straw poll, so doesn't mention Romney.
I'm posting the link because this has become the default Michigan straw poll thread.
