Here's a little note I got from a friend:


I must tell you that I have been very impressed with the showing of Ron Paul.
Thompson & Ron Paul seem to carry the banners of national sovereignty, federalism and limited government, very well.

I have researched Ron Paul's issue's a lot, the past 2 months.
I was shocked to find out that Barry Goldwater's son, Barry Goldwater Junior, has endorsed Ron Paul.

It really seems that Ron Paul is the only one left that has true Goldwater-Reaganite conservative principles!

ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA—Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul today gained a public endorsement from Barry M. Goldwater, Jr.

"America is at a crossroads," said Mr. Goldwater. "We have begun to stray from our traditions and must get back to what has made us the greatest nation on earth or we will lose much of the freedom we hold dear. Ron Paul stands above all of the other candidates in his commitment to liberty and to America."

"Leading America is difficult, and I know Ron Paul is the man for the job," he added.

Mr. Goldwater is the son of the late former Republican presidential candidate and Arizona Senator Barry Goldwater. Barry Goldwater, Jr. served in the House of Representatives for six terms with Texas Congressman Paul, and is currently on the Board of Directors of the Goldwater Institute. After representing northern Los Angeles County in Washington, D.C. for 14 years, Mr. Goldwater retired from politics in 1983 to pursue a successful career in business and humanitarian ventures.

"The Ron Paul campaign is exceptionally honored by Mr. Goldwater's endorsement," said Paul campaign manager Lew Moore. "Dr. Paul and Congressman Goldwater fought together in the Congress for the ideals of limited constitutional government that Mr. Goldwater's father so tirelessly advocated. The Goldwaters have left an indelible mark on the Republican Party, and theirs is a legacy which Congressman Paul will certainly inherit as President."

The late Barry M. Goldwater, Sr. sparked the modern conservative movement and was the Republican Party presidential nominee in 1964.
It seems Mr. Paul, yesterday, has also been endorsed by:
http://ronpaul2008.typepad.com/ron_paul_2008/2008/01/your-work-is-pa.html
"Yesterday, former New Mexico Governor Gary "Veto" Johnson announced that he is supporting Dr. Paul for president. Governor Johnson is an icon to small-government conservatives and libertarians for his long-standing commitment to the principles of the Founders. You can read our press release here.

This morning, Ron Paul also received the glowing endorsement of Donald L. Luskin, a prominent financial commentator on CNBC and Chief Investment Officer for Trend Macrolytics LLC. You can read Don's editorial in National Review about why Ron Paul is right for America here.

Finally, Dr. Paul hosted a press conference this morning with well-known pro-life activist Norma McCorvey, better known as 'Jane Roe' from the infamous Supreme Court decision, Roe v. Wade."
The lady that started this whole abortion mess, has been converted to Christianity, and is now pro-life, and endorsing Ron Paul!

AND The other day Cal Thomas, one of my conservative heroes of all time, said this about Ron Paul:
http://www.calthomas.com/index.php?news=2158
"MIKE HUCKABEE ALSO SOUNDS LIKE A BIG GOVERNMENT REPUBLICAN. THE ONLY ONE BEHAVING LIKE A REAL REPUBLICAN IS RON PAUL, WHO ACTUALLY WANTS TO CUT SPENDING AND GET GOVERNMENT OUT OF OUR LIVES. HE WON'T WIN THE NOMINATION BECAUSE TOO MANY REPUBLICANS ARE INTO HANDOUTS AND REDISTRIBUTION, JUST LIKE DEMOCRATS"

So Basically, Since Fred Thompson Has Dropped out, I have decided to go with Ron Paul.

The rest of them, I can not ever endorse, support, or vote for.

I sincerely hope that you will consider Ron Paul. Like I said, I have been researching him for about 2 months now, and he sounds a lot like Goldwater, and Reagan! So much so, I feel bad for not listening to him sooner.

His issue on the Federal Reserve is also interesting, and that has opened up a whole new world to me.
I ran across a video the other day of Ronald Regan back from the 60's on youtube, talking about the federal reserve, and how bad it was.

Like I said, I believe I will be supporting Ron Paul from now on.

I think Mr. Thompson is a nice guy. My beliefs only allow me to vote for RP, but I think Thompson is overall a very nice person. Those 3 others are just downright sketchy and ego-driven.

Yes, be nice. Sugar attracts more flies than vinegar.

If you'll begin your talk with Fredheads by saying, "I really like Fred but...", you might be surprised at the positive reaction you'll get; there are many areas of agreement and the only big disagreement is national defense (I think RP needs to talk more about a strong national defense). I have found most Fredheads to be the most well-informed and reasonable of all the republicans.

V,

The problem as I see it is, we don't have time for all of the Fred supporters to take 2 month's to learn about Dr. Paul.

If they got behind us with their efforts and money, there will be no stopping us winning.

Is there any chance your friend could be convinced to send out this email to their meetup groups or forums? That might help speed up the conversion process.

Many states are mailing in their absentee ballots right now.

I know what you're saying, And I am sure he has already done so. They would be more likely to listen to someone they know, that has supported Thompson with them, than listen to me, someone they have never met.

I agree although I wouldn't label him a nice guy except in relation to the other repubs in the game except Dr Paul. He did have some genuinely witty things to say, but from the get-go he did not appear to want to be POTUS. It seems he took some shots at the others that helped RP out as well.
