No matter what happens tomorrow, I'm honored to have shared stories, strategy, and anecdotes with you all. You are my brothers and sisters. I hope 2012 brings opportunities for me to meet more of you in person. I hope we celebrate one HELL of a party in Tampa. But no matter what, it's been my pleasure and my honor.

Fratres! Three weeks from now I will be harvesting my crops. Imagine where you will be, and it will be so. Hold the line. Stay with me. If you find yourself alone, riding in green fields with the sun on your face, do not be troubled; for you are in Elysium, and you're already dead! Brothers, what we do in life, echoes in eternity.

Do want to say one thing, you guys truly are astounding in this aspect! The level of intelligence, skill, and organization are unparalleled with anything that I have ever seen! The grassroots are changing this country, and taking on the mainstream media. You guys should truly be proud.

toast to everyone in rpf members and lurkers, i am pretty emotional now to. I never stopped from back in 2008 and that was heartbreaking back in 2008. We can WIN IOWA, let's getter done!! Win Iowa and expose the status quo(media/gop establishment) for the liars they are.

Ron Paul 2012 Love ps reminds me right after 2008 , we said ron paul would run in 2012 and it became a huge debate in rpf:)

Thank you to everyone for everything you have done to promote the ideas of liberty. No matter what happens this is just the beginning. History will remember our sacrifices. I'm confident within a generation or two, we will have true freedom because of what we are doing today.

It's the journey, everyone. Don't be so fixed on the goal that you miss the best part. Look around and enjoy this moment; enjoy every moment! How boring our lives would be without Ron Paul and this amazing grassroots movement. What's happening here will be studied by political historians for generations after we're gone because it has changed the face of electoral politics in this country.

I pulled this off of GHoeberX's new video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=nRtFmQgaRD0):


Don't give up. Don't retreat into cynicism. Even if we don't win, life is about fighting for something greater than yourself. It's a good thing to fight for what's right, and it's enjoyable to fight for what's right, and it's immensely satisfying to fight for what's right. -Tom Woods

I raise my glass to you in kind, my good man.

Very few things move me deeply. This movement, its people, and our honorable leader, however, bring a heartfelt tear to my eye. This is our last night as the underdog, because tomorrow we prove to this nation that we are its future.

For liberty.

Last scene from Spartacus (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mOCsNrzlV2k)

I feel like this scene captures a lot of what has happened in the last few months. Like Spartacus, Dr. Paul has a led a difficult rebellion for freedom. The mainstream media and the status quo Republi-crats have conspired to keep him down. They have tried to crucify him. They have tried to crucify us for following him. Misleading and false accusations of racism, bigotry, ignorance, isolationism, immorality, and general kookiness (not to mention blatant fabrications) were like the Romans in this movie asking us to give up our Spartacus so that we may save ourselves from their ridicule. However, we have held firm like the rebellious slaves in the film, my friends. We have grown stronger still, and we still have a chance to taste some real freedom thanks to Dr. Paul. Better yet, we might be able to cram some freedom down the Romans' throats as well.

Now let's go win this thing. Repeat after me: *I* am Ron Paul.

Here we go. 24 hours or so before the REAL second shot heard around the world. I almost wonder if there would be spontaneous gatherings of joy in other parts of the world if Paul wins the Iowa caucuses.

When Dr. Paul and his merry band of warriors save this country, history will look back in awe at the unflinching, unwavering dedication, the steadfast courage, and the ferocity with which each of you, each in your own way and as befits your own strengths, joined together with the determination that, if no one else was going to stand up and save this country, then the task falls to us.

We will prevail.

I remember when I first joined the board a lot of us thought 3rd would be acceptable and 2nd would be a steal. Now just 19 hours from the caucus and we have a legitimate chance at winning. Just remember, no matter what happens tonight... we don't abandon ship. We move on to New Hampshire, and then South Carolina, and all the way to Tampa Bay.

I wish all of you in Iowa the best tonight. Show America that this ideas time has come.
