I posted this on my Myspace blog today to motivate people I grew up with - family, friends, classmates, and so on.

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!
