Vote up Ron Paul endorsing politicians

**Keith and stuff** · 04-04-2012 01:44 PM

Let's reward the politicians that endorsed Ron Paul by voting them up! GoVote.com is a site where you rate elected officials.

These people put their neck on the line by supporting Ron Paul. Some of them like Sen. Rand Paul and state Sen. Jim Forsythe campaigned for Ron Paul in multiple states. Let's make a difference by giving something back to these politicians. Let it be known that the Ron Paul base has Ron Paul's back. It only takes a few minutes to vote up every single one of these fine folks. I am serious, you can do this in less than 15 minutes.

States are listed by how many elected officials in that state endorsed Ron Paul. To track our progress, I'll keep track of the rating of the first elected official listed for the 9 states with multiple endorsements. I'll try to post the progress every week here for a couple months. Then I'll contact those 9 people and show them what the Ron Paul diehards did for them. I'll show them that we truly thank them for endorsing Ron Paul. If anyone thinks I left out anyone featured on GoVote.com, please list the person below. If anyone wants to list honorable mentions (people like Sen. Mike Lee), feel free to list them below.

A lot of the highest rated politicians on GoVote.com are statists. We can change that! Thanks for voting

Thank you. Please 5 star this thread if you like it. I'll try to give everyone that votes up all of these politicians and then posts in this thread that they voted a +Rep. So, +Rep for you!

**Dissent** · 04-04-2012 02:47 PM

Voted for them all.

**Hendrik** · 04-04-2012 02:48 PM

great idea. Just voted every single one up.

Before Ron Paul exits politics, I think the C4L, or something should have an official website created to grade every single politician's "liberty purity". Sort of like how rotten tomatoes works with movies, if they get a 60% or higher, they can be stamped as "approved" to be voted for by anyone in the liberty movement. The larger our movement gets, the more politicans will care about their "[Ron Paul] liberty/purity rating". Thoughts?

The Republican Liberty Caucus used to do that for US Reps and US Senators. For some reason, the last year was 2009. It wasn't 100% accurate but it was a good approximation. http://www.rlc.org/liberty-index/

The New Hampshire Liberty Alliance has done it in New Hampshire since 2005, http://nhliberty.org/liberty_rating . The NHLA version is much more accurate than the RLC version. However, the NHLA version only covers NH state Senators and NH state Reps. 60% is way too low in my opinion and in the opinion of the NHLA, if you go by their ratings.
