The Evolution of a Revolution

Today I changed my profile to a Ron Paul Revolution theme. I was thinking about this revolution and the people who are taking part within. So many people I talk to or read about online were only introduced to Ron Paul this year. This is heart warming to me as I recollect my introduction to Dr. Paul.

When I was a junior in high school, I felt it an ambition to "one up" my US History teacher. I took to him a printout from the web, this back in 1996 when fast dial-up made 56k look like FIOS(TM) showing the Libertarian Party web site. I was fascinated with the principles of liberty and it led me to a strange Congressman from Texas' web site. I discovered Ron Paul at age 16 in 1996. I loved his message and would spend evenings flipping through the channels HOPING that when I got to C-SPAN, Dr. Paul was giving one of his mindwarming speeches about liberty in America. I would excitedly call my parents into the living room when he was on and tell them "THIS GUY MAKES SO MUCH SENSE!"

Several years later in 1999, I attended a picnic as a candidate for county commissioner. I met Congressman Walter Jones at a fundraising picnic. I recall telling him I supported him and that my favorite Congressman was Ron Paul. "Ron who?" was the basic reply I got. Boy how times change. You can now see Congressman Jones' note of support on Ron Paul's campaign web site section "What People Are Saying".

So what does my experience say about the campaign in general? Again, it is very exciting for me because so many people who are supporting Ron Paul are first time supporters. They are people who had never heard about him and who have done a great amount of research on the man. What they find above all issues is consistency and principle. They find a man unmatched except perhaps by the founders of our nation when it comes to the notion of liberty and freedom. The message of liberty as I discussed in 2004 while running a campaign is a message that can be unrivaled by any other. Who does not want liberty? Who does not want to be free? Men and women yearn to be free from any notion other than the one they suggest best for themselves.

This is precisely the core of the Ron Paul Revolution. College students, mid-career professionals, and retired seniors can not turn away from such a strong message - one that resonates throughout the ages and will continue to breed new supporters as we approach the first primaries in January (or even December depending on the New Hampshire decision).

This evolution of a revolution continues to take place. I encourage you to become part of the evolution and join the Ron Paul Revolution. I took the step over 10 years ago and find myself continuing to ramp up with excitement. You can feel it. I know it!

To restore individual liberties in the face of the quasi-socialist overbearing FEDERAL statism will require nothing LESS than a FULL SCALE REVOLUTION.

I salute you for having the intelligence to make the REVOLUTION your call.

We know that Paul unlike any other candidate has plainly written that we need to duplicate the revolution of the founders to place LIBERTY back in its rightful place having been choked by the gains of its nemisis "government".....as Thomas Jefferson notes: "Experience hath shown, that even under the best forms of government those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny."

Who can deny the perversions?? What will it take to finally awaken the lethargy of those who know the truth? wanted: patriots...not "patriot act[s]"....are we not already slaves which only merely rattle the chains that bind us??

Maybe Jefferson who must likely wrote my quote from the Continental Congress in my sig. was wise to use the words "preservation or our liberties"...I say to you that today it may be that people unlike then, do NOT come from a position of already possessing something so what they would be called to struggle for is in essence not a "reality" having been reared up in the perversions (maybe we aren't that much different than IRAQI's after all).
