Want to know a secret? There were two moments I especially enjoyed at the CNN/YouTube debate -- despite my frustration at some of the questions, and the maldistribution of time.

First, I was pleased at John McCain's attack, which he clearly had planned. Not because that sort of stream-of-consciousness nonsense about Hitler and WWII -- when the neocons openly want what they call WW IV! Are we to forget that the first war crime charged at Nuremberg was waging aggressive war?

I mean this: mainstream politicians NEVER attack an opponent they think is far behind. The McCain campaign, we've heard, is worried sick about New Hampshire, and they thought a slam at me would help. Ha! Of course,
it only strengthened our forces.

Then, after the debate, Rudy Giuliani walked up to me and said, "Oooh, you sure have a LOT of supporters." It's only the beginning, I told him.

Indeed, he could have told that by the crowd outside after the debate. Mitt Romney had a few people, but no one else did. We, on the other hand, had about 500 enthusiastic revolutionaries, plus a boat, a trolley, and two planes towing lighted signs. As I looked out at the crowd, I thought: the establishment has no idea of what they are facing. We have an army of freedom, prosperity, and peace. As the LA Times political blog noted the other day, the
British also thought they had no problem with the Americans--until Yorktown.

But we have an astoundingly short time before the first contests. The Iowa caucuses are on January 3, the New Hampshire primary is on January 8, and Nevada and South Carolina are both on January 19. We have only
30 days to stake our claim to the nomination, and to the new America that restores the ideals of the founders, and leads the world through free enterprise, a sound dollar, the rule of law, and peaceful example. Not through
inflation and bombs.

Help me surprise the neocons and all the establishment with our success. Help me build the foundation for the America we all want. Send your most generous contribution: https://www.ronpaul2008.com/donate. The military-industrial complex, the biased media, the big banks, the Fed, the waterboarders, and the IRS don't like what we're doing. But every good American is applauding us, and daring to hope for a better future.

Please, help me give it to them, to us, to all Americans to come. Keep this revolution growing and winning:

Sincerely,

Ron

Greetings All,

I don't want to hear a single word about how this will hurt the teaparty effort :rolleyes:

Give now, give later, and give some more. I'm spending another $41 on stamps today but I'll try to eek out a bit more for the campaign.

As an aside, anyone else here suffer from A.S.S.? Angry Spouse Syndrome?

A better question my friend, might be,

"Has anyone here NOT suffered from Angry Spouse Syndrome?" :D

Luckily for me, my husband likes Ron Paul ALMOST as much as I do. :)

Hopefully he doesn't read this or we might start fighting about the truth of that statement :p

Good letter! Sometimes reading his letters I forget who he actually is. To me he is a guy that I would see in everyday life, and would have absolute respect for, not someone I would consider running for the president. Truly honered to be apart of this. Having a man I like this run for office is a dream come true.

I get goosebumps when I read that mail......and I am not even an American

I have never had goosebumps due to something a Swedish politician wrote...I
am to say the least envious.

Only thing to do is congratulate hehe

Oh man, what a letter. You can just feel Ron's excitement. He knows that we're going to win. He knows what he has started. We are beginning to remember the America we once were. During the revolution patriots sacrificed endlessly. They knew the value of individual sovereignty, and now we know the value as well. It will be very interesting to see what we as a community do in the coming years. We no longer are willing to live on our knees. We are no longer willing to be unwilling to act. We are the true patriots of today, and we are making our ancestors proud. They didn't die so we wouldn't have to. They died to show us that some things are worth fighting for.

At first I was supporting Obama, and I convinced my girlfriend to support him as well. However, once I made the jump to RP she wasn't convinced enough to switch who she supports. She liked some of his ideas, but she couldn't get over his views on guns and abortion.

"The only purpose of guns...is to kill"

*sigh*, she might change her mind about gun control if she knew I've donated over three hundred dollars (I'm a college student), but it's my reserve notes, not hers.

The thing to remember about this email, is that Ron is also stating on the MSM that we are going to beat the 11/5 fundraiser, on 12/16. At this point in time, I'm not so sure that is going to happen. Are you? The fervor seems to have died off. I haven't seen any new videos for a long time. Is anyone contacting the Meetups and Ron Paul Myspace friends like last time?

A couple of us are emailing precious metal dealers to ask for their support.

We'd better ramp up the excitement quite a bit, or this is going to be a dud. Remember when we thought we were going to blast beyond 10 million for that day? We MUST NOT HAVE A DUD. Because this WILL be reported on and it is the last thing we want, as we go into the early primaries.

My advice to her would be to read some Thomas Jefferson. :)
