FREE Ron Paul AD to use and share!


Our local campaign leader here in Hot Springs, AR has put together this Ron Paul AD for our newspaper. He wishes the ad to be spread as far as possible so that people can print it out to use as flyers, post around the web, and RUN IT IN NEWSPAPERS. Here's what he says about the AD:
"We've worked hard on the wording of this AD and it's been well received here in Arkansas -- it seems to resonate with voters (even if they are convinced that "Romney is the inevitable nominee") by giving them a reason to "SEND A MESSAGE TO ROMNEY" by VOTING FOR RON PAUL IN THE PRIMARY.
We can change it (for free) to fit ANY STATE. I can also send you the AD in a pdf format which newspapers request. My email address: RonPaul2012atearthlink.net"

The "Other" Republican.
In case you didn't know, it is now a two man race (the RNC would have you think we are down to one man.)

Click on title below for the article:
Ron Paul Wins in Nevada, Maine, and Iowa! Proof Delegate Strategy is Working.

Here is an excerpt:
"Most people don't realize it, but when you ask people about the issues they care most about, overwhelmingly Americans stand with Ron Paul on the issues, while being almost entirely in disagreement with Obama or Romney. It's ironic how many people have their ideal candidate running for office right now – Ron Paul – but for whatever reason don't realize it. " Many Republicans know little of Ron Paul, despite his swelling ranks. Left with the better of two evils choice of Romney or Obama, Republicans are flocking to Ron Paul. Over the last several weeks, Paul has been overwhelmingly chosen as the nominee in numerous states by people who are traditionally the staunchest and most active of Republicans – party delegates. Under RNC rules, any delegate who is supported by more than five state delegations can become a party nominee. As of this weekend, that means just Ron Paul and Mitt Romney are eligible to face Obama.
This was posted almost one year ago. 
It is an excellent dialog of basically all the believed myths about Ron Paul and all the answers to the myths. If you have something against Ron Paul I'm sure it is covered in this dialog. If not, let us know.

Shattered Records




Dear Patriot,

You and I know that no other candidate can claim such passionate and enthusiastic supporters as Dr. Paul.

But what our campaign has witnessed over the past couple of weeks has been truly astounding, even for our Revolution.

The number of people now coming to our events is shattering all our previous records for attendance.

On Thursday, over 8,500 people came to hear Dr. Paul speak at UC-Berkeley.

On the Tuesday and Wednesday before that, Dr. Paul attracted crowds of more than 6,000 at UCLA and over 6,200 at Cal State – Chico!

So don’t give in to the media’s story that this race is over.

It remains unlikely that any candidate will reach the number of delegates required to secure the nomination, and I believe Dr. Paul’s message of individual freedom, limited government, and personal responsibility is more popular than ever!

And now, Dr. Paul needs your help to demonstrate that not only are his supporters still dedicated to spreading our message, but they are willing to fund this campaign all the way to Tampa.

Our campaign is holding another Money Bomb on April 15, and I wanted to send you a “Save the Date” notice for this important effort.

Our government is growing more out of control each day, and every year we are reminded of the massive bureaucracy it has become when we are forced to sort through a maze of forms just to keep as much as we can of our own hard-earned money.

Ron Paul is the ONLY candidate who can be trusted to get rid of the IRS and stop the government’s plundering.

But to continue his march to the Convention and keep recruiting delegates at hundreds of meetings all across the country, he needs your help.

This week, we’ll send you a link where you can pledge to donate on April 15th, and I hope you will give whatever you can.

Any amount helps Dr. Paul reach another voter and fight for another delegate spot.

Together, you and I can elect Ron Paul and Restore America Now!


For Liberty,

John Tate
Campaign Manager

P.S. Our campaign is holding another Money Bomb on April 15th, and I wanted to send you a “Save the Date” notice for this critical effort.

Ron Paul is the only candidate who can be trusted to turn the lights off at the IRS, and he is ready to continue his march all the way to Tampa as long as he can count on your support.

We’ll send a link soon where you can pledge to donate, and I hope Dr. Paul can count on your most generous contribution on April 15th.

Great Reading:
A Ron Paul Primary (a call for democrats to become blue republicans)
Click on the title above for the whole blog. Below are just a few excerpts:

"My mind replays a scene. I open the door, walk down to the end of the driveway and pick up the newspaper. It’s the first time I read the words “President Paul” in large print. And I know everything will be okay."

"I really don’t ask for much in a president. I’d like to stop bombing innocent people. I’d like for the government to stop spying on us. In essence, it is a simple repetition of what Diogenes asked of Alexander the Great: 'Stand a little less between me and the sun.' ”

“It disappoints me, though, when my friends—whom I still love dearly—reiterate the false notion the Democrats are the "good guys." I’ll be the first to admit the other Republican candidates are no better. A society can be judged by the people it imprisons and whether Rick Santorum is running for president. The United States is screwed on both counts.”

"All I ask is for you to give one chance to Ron Paul, even without sacrificing your potential vote for the current administration. I urge every one of you to register today as a Blue Republican, an organization run by progressives who have stuck to their principles and are voting for Ron Paul as a beacon of hope."

The Ronulans are among us: How Ron Paul’s delegate strategy is actually working(a very well laid out list of all the gross mistreatment of Ron Paul supporters and a few testimonies of success)

"Click on the title above for the whole blog. Below is just a few excerpts:

"On they come, marginalized by the media and ridiculed by the Republican establishment. Their votes are often rejected at precinct caucuses, their voices ignored by temporary chairmen who flaunt their own rules and pretend that they have the votes for their prearranged delegate slates."

"On one occasion a crowd of onlookers shouts objections at this fraud, only to be subjected to prearranged organized arrests for “disturbing the peace.” Some participants openly weep, in shame for the obscenity of such blatant corruption. Others become angry. In Missouri, a weary delegate is seen vomiting by the side of a building, sick over what she has just experienced."

"In Kentucky..." "In Nevada..." "In Virginia..." "In Alaska..." "In Maine..."

"And yet, on they come, in spite of the pain, the inconvenience, the open hostility of the Party bosses. They are like a tide of the ocean. And for every precinct or county where they are violated or cheated, there is another where their sheer numbers prevail. These are the Ronulans, the Ron Paul supporters, trying to take back the Mothership from the corrupt Empire. And unseen, unheralded by the national media, they are showing signs of success."

"So who are these Ron Paul supporters? They are young. He carried 48% of the youth vote in Iowa, 47% in New Hampshire, while six other candidates split the rest. They are Hispanic. He carried 52% of the Hispanic vote in Clark County, Nevada ( Las Vegas) while all of the others split the rest. And they are Independents. In a recent CBS poll he did better among Independents than all other candidates including Barack Obama."

"And that means that they are the future. It means they are going to keep coming. They cannot be stopped, only delayed. And not for long. They are coming. They are coming."


Rumors of Ron Paul campaign demise greatly exaggerated (an article from the Washington Times)

Click on the title above for the whole article. Below are a few excerpts:

"In their mad dash to create the long awaited general election narrative, media outlets have pronounced Ron Paul’s campaign dead."

"They now speculate about what his supporters may do when he drops out. The Associated Press reports that Romney has over ten times the delegates that Ron Paul has secured. Reuters reports that Paul is far behind in Wisconsin and that his supporters have finally conceded that he can’t win the nomination."

"None of this is true. Romney has not secured 568 delegates. Hundreds of those delegates won’t be determined until Republican state conventions, many of which haven’t happened yet."

"In most years, the media can get away with reporting on the nomination contest as they are now. They can assume that the candidates will receive roughly the same percentage of delegates from each state as the percentage they received in the popular vote. That isn’t accurate reporting, but it usually comes out in the wash, especially as far as the winner is concerned. However, there are many things different in this year’s race and there is a good chance that much of the media are going to look silly come August."

"The media started this election cycle by completely ignoring Ron Paul’s campaign. As his poll numbers rose and the crowds at his rallies grew into the thousands, they began giving him grudging respect. Now, they want to pronounce his campaign over and even go so far as to speak for his supporters."

"There’s only one problem. Paul and his supporters aren’t going anywhere and this race is far from over. The Paul campaign’s senior advisor Doug Wead documents many examples of Ron Paul’s delegate strategy yielding much better results than the media are reporting. Assuming he’s right, Romney is unlikely to clinch the nomination during the first vote at the national convention. If he doesn’t, Paul’s understated army of delegates could mean big surprises in Tampa."

Etch A Sketch

Patriot Act, NDAA, Drones & More

Our freedoms are being stolen daily. Who will you choose to lead our country? One who desires to take more freedoms, or return freedoms?


From the lips of a child

This is beyond cute...and true!

Message from Ron Paul

Dear Patriot,

Today is a critical day for my campaign.

I believe that freedom is more popular than ever, and all this week, we've been telling you about the successes we're experiencing accumulating delegates throughout the country.

But the establishment is doing everything it can to stop us, and I simply will not be able to make it to the Republican National Convention unless I have the resources necessary to keep fighting back in as many places as possible.

So I hope you'll contribute as generously as you can to our "Give Me Liberty" Money Bomb today.

I recently shot the below video to fill you in on the current state of the campaign and give you an idea of where we go from here.



Hundreds of meetings will be held in the coming weeks and months to decide who goes to Tampa to choose the next Republican presidential nominee.

Make no mistake - I am in this race to win the White House and Restore America Now.

We've got a proven strategy to organize our supporters for these crucial meetings through phone calls, emails, trainings, and more.

But we will not be able to fully implement our program unless you stand with us today.

So please, donate right away to our Give Me Liberty Money Bomb after you watch the video.

For Liberty,

Wednesday, March 21, 2012

Yes, we're angry!

Help!!!!

* chuckles * Just watch it, you know you're already curious!

St. Charles County caucus blasted with police sirens.

After the arrest of Brent Strafford I continued to record and caugh a heated conversation between Ann and another supporter when one of them didnt know why or for what Brent was arrested. I told them I had it all on video and proceded to side with Ann that we MUST take a stand at some point. Our last sentences to each other before we were blasted with sirens were scary.

Ron Paul Supporter Arrested Outside St. Charles County, Mo. Caucus

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JXsYDkm65XU&feature=related

Media coverage :

http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2012/03/police-intervene-arrest-ron-paul-backers-at-missouri-caucus/

Police and organizers shut down proceedings at one of Missouri’s largest caucuses today, as Ron Paul supporters feuded with local GOP leaders.

“It’s like the Hatfields and the McCoys around here,” St. Charles County’s former GOP chairman told ABC News, after police arrived on-scene with a helicopter and removed Paul backers.

In St. Charles, an exurb of St. Louis and one of the state’s largest GOP counties, Paul supporters sought to elect their own chairman and adopt their own rules when proceedings opened — both of which are part of standard caucus rules and procedure. But as they argued with the caucus chair, Paul supporters held video cameras — against caucus rules, according to a GOP official who was there — and things became contentious.

ADDED NOTE: Here is the conclusive evidence as to who it is that has something to hide. Who wants the videos to be shown and who want to block the videos? In a free country the caucus members vote on their chairman and vote on their rules. The caucus does not come with a preordained tyrant who makes his own rules.

“It turned into a little food fight within the caucus, between the caucus chairman trying to control the caucus and certain elements, I guess with Ron Paul, trying to be heard,” said Tom Kipers, a former chairman of the St. Charles GOP, who attended the caucus at Francis Howell North High School.

An off-duty police officer, hired as security, eventually filed a trespassing complaint against the Paul supporters and notified on-duty police in the area municipality of St. Peters, who, along with police from other jurisdictions, arrested two Paul supporters and ended the caucuses early. A joint-jurisdictional police helicopter arrived on the scene. Kipers said about 10 officers arrived in total.

“Two people were arrested for trespassing after receiving numerous warnings to leave the school property,” the St. Peters police said in a press release. “Both subjects were transported to St. Peters Justice Center where they were booked for Trespassing and released on a summons.”

The St. Peters police identified the Paul supporters as Brent Safford, 45, of O’Fallon, Mo., and Kenneth Suitter, 55, of St. Charles.

Caucus business never really got started. The St. Charles GOP said in an official statement that it still plans to send delegates to the congressional-district and state conventions, but none were elected at the caucus on Saturday.

This is Brent Stafford. I wanted to let everyone know I am out of jail and am just now starting to read some of the posts about what happened today.

I am actually in my car right now, so I will post more complete details when I get to someplace where I can take more time.

First of all, thank you to everyone who was concerned and calling the police station. Apparently they were getting flooded with calls.

I was trying to reconvene the meeting in the gymnasium, according to the rules, and was told I have the leave the gym along with everyone else or I would be trespassing. I went outside and tried to let everyone know we were going to try to reconvene. Some people we trying to go to a nearby park to do so, but the rules are clear the the caucus may only be held in the location printed in the Call to Caucus printed in a newspaper 15 days prior. The ONLY place we could reconvene was at the high school.

I stood on a chair to address the crowd to let them know we were going to reconvene and what we needed to do. At that point I was approached by told I was under arrest.

More to come…

—————

Update

Okay, I have a minute, and a beer! Here is the saga.

There are three main culprits to today’s fiasco. Eugene Dokes – St. Charles County Republican Committee Chairman, Bryan Spencer – Chairman of the Caucus Committee for the St. Charles County GOP (he organized the caucus), and Matt Ehlen – The guy they installed as Chairman and who ended the meeting before conducting any business.

I approached Bryan Spencer several times, prior to the commencement of the caucus, to point out where things that were being planned violated the rules. He said, “We are going to do it this way, challenge it if you want.” He is the one that was trying to rig the process to select delegates proportionally based on who was in attendance. They conducted a straw poll as people were checked in, in violation of State GOP rules.

The meeting was supposed to begin at 10:00am. There were so many people still in line that by the time the meeting was ready to start it was just after 11:00am.

Eugene Dokes started the meeting by immediately declaring there would be no video or audio recording allowed, and that if anyone refused to stop, they would be removed by police. The entire room of what has been reported as over 2,500 people began booing and demanding that recording be allowed. It was not just Ron Paul people.

Eugene Dokes then refused to commence the meeting until everyone stopped recording. I made multiple attempts to make a point of order to address the situation, but he refused to acknowledge me. He then left the podium and called the police.

There were St. Peters Police, St. Charles Police, St. Charles County Sheriffs, and Missouri Highway Patrol that eventually came into the gymnasium and through threat of arrest made everyone turn off their cameras. Of course many did not.

Eugene Dokes then started to convene the meeting a second time.

Let me digress a moment. We had prepared very well ahead of time. I won’t get into all of the details, but the Mitt Romney people agreed to support me for Chairman. This was an incredible vote of confidence in my ability to chair and to convene a fair process. I had also hire the President of the Missouri Association of Parliamentarians who I intended to appoint for that role. I never got that chance.

Eugene Dokes appointed the Creditials Committee, Rules Committee, and Parliamentarian. These are all appointments made by the elected Chairman, not the temporary Chair which is what Eugene Dokes was acting as. The body loudly booed and started making all kinds of points of order and other declarations of disgust at the blatant disregard for the proper process.

He then opened the floor for nominations. I immediately started nominating myself multiple times. He recognized a woman, who was obviously preselected, who nominated Matt Ehlen. At that point about 2,000 people started chanting my name to be appointed. Eugene Dokes ignored that and called a hasty voice vote and declared the one nominee, Matt Ehlen, as the Chair.

Hundreds of people started calling for Division of the vote. Eugene Dokes ignored them all.

Matt Ehlen took the podium and tried to regain order. After anout 20 seconds he declared that St. Charles County would not send any delegates to the CD and State Conventions. He quickly found motions to adjourn and closed the meeting.

At that point I went to grab the parliamentarian I had hired. She had not been allowed inside, because of an arbitrary rule Bryan Spencer made up, but I had checked in with her by sticking my head through the door of and on earlier. I told her to come with me and I headed to the podium. I asked her how to reconvene and since no business had been conducted according to the Call to Convention, we had every right to reconvene.

I took the microphone and announced that people should not leave and that we would reconvene the meeting. Eugene Dokes came up and unplugged the microphone. At that point the police began ordering people out of the gymnasium.

At that point I went outside to try to reconvene the caucus, according to the rules. A number of people were going to go to another location to reconvene. I had to stop those that had not left and explained that we were required to convene at the location published 15 days prior in the newspaper or it would be invalid.

I then found where the biggest crowd had gathered and began to address the crowd. Everyone got quiet to hear me. There were 300-400 people there. I explained very quickly that we needed to begin collecting a roster, as required, and what that meant. I was immediately approached by 4 or 5 police of unknown jurisdictions who made me step down from the chair and put me into handcuffs.

When I asked what I was being arrested for, or if I was being arrested, I was told they would tell me later. Eventually I was booked for trespassing and released.

The actions of Eugene Doke, Bryan Spencer, and Matt Ehlen were the direct cause of the event getting out of control. They have tried to shift the blame, but it is all on them. If they had conducted the meeting according to Robert’s Rules and the proper order of the agenda, none of this would have happened.

—————-

Update #2

I forgot to mention, I am on the St. Charles GOP Central Committee, the one Eugene Dokes is Chairman of, as well as being Chair, Vice-Chair, and Secretary of three different GOP Legislative Committees.

I need to remember to tell the media that. It was so crazy today I just wanted to tell what happened and forgot to mention it.

Comments:

Caucus leadership refused to convene until cameras were shut off.

What have they to hide?

We are told that Ron Paul leaders, Brent Safford and Kenneth Suitter were arrested at this event, and that the Ron Paul supporters were dismissed from the Caucus and not allowed to reconvene at the required location. Does it seem that the GOP leadership is doing all it can to work against Ron Paul? Would they rather cut their own throats than allow honest primaries or caucus? Are you tired of their tactics?

One Ron Paul supporter urges that disenchanted Republicans strike a blow for Freedom through a Ron Paul or Not at All type effort which suggests:

No money, campaign work, or votes for Republicratic incumbents who do not endorse Ron Paul! If you have money and time to campaign, then the candidates who endorse Ron Paul could use your help! Please remember them.”

If you want to know who is doing the best job of opposing totalitarianism, you just look and see who it is that the totalitarians fear the most.
