Goodbye to All That, Rep. Paul
Posted by Daniel McAdams on November 29, 2012 10:44 PM

They came to shut down Ron Paul's office today. Took the computers and keys. We had packed up already the decades of papers, Dear Colleague letters, and funny little notes from the boss. A history of the era hastily assembled in various boxes. He toasted us in a final little tipple with touching words that moistened our austere gazes. We took a final (actually the first) group photograph and he was off, with his trademark wave and grin. And then silence. We struggle through the sadness of the end of that era; the battles, disappointments, triumphs, laughs. So many are grateful for his achievements and leadership; our gratitude is also personal and private, different and special.

But we are thrilled and excited by what he has in mind for his next chapter. What a life-changing ride it has been. And will yet be!

On twitter tonight people were talking about an announcement he is supposed to make in January. Cautiously optimistic....

But I thought THIS congress was in session until at least Dec 13th?

The session lasts until January 2 but I'm not sure what days there are legislative sessions.

There's at least a vote tomorrow so I'm not sure why they shut down his office today.

Dude makes it sound like the ending of the "Usual Suspects" movie.

Reading that last night made me emotional.
