    Move to NH now as you need to claim to be here for 2 years before you may run for state house

    But seriously, please remember to take bit coins and run on the green party. Or even the LP, after all, it did start in CO.

    Btw, I heard Jesse Benton is looking for a job.

    We have a large group of RP delegates and liberty minded folks here, and we are going to be meeting soon to discuss our plans for as many of us to run for office as possible. We already have 3 in my county running this year, so maybe we can make a good dent in the establishment here.
    Thank you for all of your service Ron Paul. You have awakened a great number of liberty minded folks, and inspired many to run for office themselves.

    This is key for many of us who are not naturally outgoing speakers who feel natural going on and on in front of an audience.

    I went from stumbling through words in front of people to being very comfortable giving a speech anywhere, anytime. All with the help of Toastmasters. I went for about 6 months, after about 3 months I was a competent speaker.

    Awesome. I had the same conversation with my wife recently about state house rep in two years. No decision has been made but I'm going to start preparing, networking, getting better known in the party, etc. now for when the decision is final.

    The contacts and networking are valuable no matter what choice is made. but I'm leaning towards .........

    Good stuff - I havent made the final leap yet, although I have started the ground work. I got myself appointed to a position in my local government to begin the process of networking and getting support. I cannot commit to the next cycle but I am willing to run for office in the near future.

    Please keep us posted on your progress and your learnings so maybe others, who have similar thoughts, know what to do and try to avoid..

    Best of luck!

    + rep for running!

    And great idea to join Toastmaster's. I overcame my fear of public speaking due to joining and then spent seven years as a corporate trainer.
