    Dear Angry Canadian: I joined this forum specifically to thank you for your kind words and for starting this thread. I can assure you every penny of your donation will be used to spread the Ron Paul message. I have been Ron Paul's foreign affairs, defense, privacy, and intelligence advisor in Congress since 2001. We operate on a shoestring and we make sure every donation goes to promote the Ron Paul message. I hope anyone interested in these forums will consider attending our conference coming up in a couple of weeks in Washington, D.C., where we will be making the case for a non-interventionist foreign policy. There is no question that this will be the only pure, Ron Paul, non-interventionist conference in Washington this year. This is the time for the true believers to stick together and I am so very grateful for your vote of confidence.

    Sincerely,
    Daniel McAdams

    I was going to +rep for you for it, but I can't. Collins is just bitter that his grand ideas of bringing liberty to the Republican party by acting like we don't give a $#@! about liberty have led him to the unemployment line.

    Give Collins another neg for me. I keep trying but RPF's won't let me.

    Suzanimal, you cannot keep giving the Collins neg reps.

    Thank you TGS. Very nice to see so many really nice people here. We are getting close to 50K subscribers to our Liberty Report program and close to four million views. It's an honor to continue working with Dr. Paul and it really makes us feel great when we hear that people follow our work. Of course there is a lot more flash and bang in politics, but ideas and education are where it's really at in the long term. Very best to all of you!

    Uh no actually, I had as much employment as I wanted.


    But think tanks are like giant circle jerks, yeah it is fun and can put out some good material, but it doesn't accomplish anything, especially on the federal level.

    The RPI has zero influence over anyone in DC, Amash and Massie might be the only exceptions, and even then Justin has a couple of odd votes as I recall.

    Looking to educate and gain influence is the quick way to become irrelevant. Functional politics is what actually changes policy, and that is very hard to do on the federal level.

    You clearly have no idea what Ron Paul is doing with his Institute for Peace and Prosperity. Funny you would call Rep. Amash "Justin." My guess is he would have never heard of you.

    Hey, if you get a chance, read over some of this stuff. http://www.ronpaulforums.com/forumdi...gebase-Project

    We are going to try to regroup around here a bit in terms of the message and fundamentals. Just need to get on it, I suppose.

    LMAO @ Matt presuming to lecture us on such matters. Haters gonna hate ...

    When it comes to substantively advancing the cause of liberty, I'll take the chops of Ron Paul, Daniel McAdams, et al. over those of "Teh Collinz" any day.
