pretty sure he's in Indy
This is how we continue Paul's message into the distant future. By taking our places in government and fulfilling his message. Makes me happy :)

Attack from ALL ANGLES -- that's how we beat them at their own game!!! I've noticed, that's what they do to us. They keep bombarding us with unconstitutional legislation so we can't fight everything at once. ha ha ha

I put the chart index on the front page.
Hi, Rick! I shook your hand at UCLA -- you had that greeting down to a science! "Rick Williams - I'm a Ron Paul guy - Running for Senate" ! I guess you said it thousands of times that night!

Even if Ron Paul fails to win the nomination, this is a nice consolation prize.

I dream of the congressional session docket containing nothing but repeal legislation. This map gives hope to that dream.

I handed out more than 1000 "Rick Williams For Senate" flyers at the UCLA event-- in one hour. Now all I need to do is get the word out to the other 17 million registered voters in California, and I'm all set.

Wow! You can add a plus one to this list of notified voters. I am involved in CD 6. If you have RP's endorsement, I'll tell the group. :) +rep for running. I wish there was a +superrep.

I didn't know there were any Ron Paul candidates running in California. I just took a quick view of Rick Williams's website and now I know who to vote for this June along with Ron Paul!

Texas Congressman Ron Paul, who has said he’ll step down from office at yearend, has inspired a crop of candidates who are running for office on his libertarian platform.

It was posted here somewhere. I'll try to find it. I certainly remember thinking, oh great, another one riding Ron's coattails until it becomes a tad uncomfortable...

I handed out more than 1000 "Rick Williams For Senate" flyers at the UCLA event-- in one hour. Now all I need to do is get the word out to the other 17 million registered voters in California, and I'm all set. Rick all you need is some liberty minded truckers willing to make a few of these (http://img528.imageshack.us/img528/2653/signinbackyard.jpg) for you. No sign permits necessary. Only willing truckers. But finding them might be kind of hard being that the majority of them are brainwashed by the Radio Mafia (http://img534.imageshack.us/img534/1160/radiomafia2.jpg) - Daily. But then again California has been puttin' the screws to truckers over the past few years - ridiculous idle laws, emission laws, etc. I can't even drive into a California port because my truck doesn't meet emission requirements. But no problem there - I just pay a guy $150 bucks to go in the port and pick up my load with my trailer while I spew emissions idling outside the gate. Its funny how the new laws have created a whole new business for local trucking entrepreneurs. And don't worry about the $150, no one comes to California anymore without being well compensated for it -- Every time y'all buy something from out of state you are paying 20-30 percent MORE for the shipping. :)

Now that's a picture.
Chart is missing Glenn Addison, US Senate, TX.
There are a couple of candidates for Texas House and Texas Senate that might also merit mention on that list, but I haven't fully vetted them yet.

Now that's a picture.Yes, it turned out pretty good. I would have used helvetica (maybe bold) on the red reverse and changed the web address case to ---- www.ELECTMACK.com instead of WWW.ELECTMACK.COM --- and spread the letters out a bit on the ELECTMACK portion. But overall it did turn out nice.
Here is the cost if you think you might like to make some...
The sign wall: $800 (includes $300 for cable,lifting eyes, and turnbuckles)
The vinyl sign: $330 each x (2) = $660 for two 8'x44' full color high resolution billboard banners w/6" extra material for affixing to sign board.
sign website:http://www.echodgraphics.com/Banners/Billboard/3.aspx
Echod Graphics was the cheapest that I could find --- They did a great job and were timely.
In our case I had an extra trailer laying around, actually 3 extra trailers but the one I used was road worthy. My intent was to drive the billboard around during rush hour traffic and or at special events. I was also planning on lighting it up while driving but I haven't done that yet. The trailer is parked on a major state hwy getting thousands of views a day while I'm working.

Yeah, there are a number missing. They should have asked someone. But it is good for those who are on...

I saw it, but she came back swinging in the next article. It could have been the way media spun what she said, it was a several word quote in a sea of media context.
I'd look into it more if I were in her area.

So I see in the comments. It would be a good idea to revise this pic.

turned on car radio this morning , the Stephanie Miller show was on , she said 2 people in her office had Ron Paul bumper stickers on their cars , she said they have 5 people in her office ( thats 40% ).
i honestly think over 40% of americans like ron paul , the thing is they think he can't win .
i will never give up on him.
