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"

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."

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,

Yes, we're angry!

Uh Oh!! It's Ron Paul!

Oh dear, this is priceless!

Somebody is scared of that little guy named Ron Paul! He's a monster, of course, just waiting to steal the GOP convention in August! Whatever in this world will we do to stop him?!

Help!!!!

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

The message of liberty is spreading!

America NEEDS this man as President.

Ron Paul 2012!

Liberty is taking America by storm! Our numbers are rising!

"Do you hear the people sing, singing the song of liberty? It is the music of a people who will not be slaves again!"

Ron Paul Wins Clark County!

"Chairman Gibbs brought the meeting to order by asking for any Santorum supporters to please raise their hands. A handful of people raised their hands. Then he asked for Gingrich. He got 2 handfuls. When he asked for Romney, his people clustered near the front of the main room raised their hands with a great cheer.

When he asked for Ron Paul what looked like about 2/3rds of the crowd of over 2,600 delegates leaped to their feet as one and unleashed a thunderous ovation that lasted for 30 seconds. It was absolutely electrifying.....

ALL 14 SEATS WERE WON BY RON PAUL DELEGATES! A total sweep!....

The Clark County platform now OFFICIALLY calls for holding elected officials to their oath to defend the constitution, or face removal from office. The party platform now also calls for the repeal of the 16th amendment and a full public audit of the federal reserve."

The Choice of the Troops!

Did you know that Ron Paul gets more donations from our military than ALL the other presidential candidates, including Obama, COMBINED? He does! Look at these two graphs! Do YOU respect our soldiers who are fighting for us? Why not listen to them? They WANT RON PAUL as their president, they LIKE his foreign policy!!

Liberty ~ The Pillar of America's Greatness

*speech given at a local Tea Party rally on
Constitution Day, September 17th*

Hello Everyone!

I’d like to start by thanking our Tea Party leaders for giving me the opportunity to speak today in honor of America, the greatest nation on earth.

Liberty is what makes America so great. It is what our forefathers fought to achieve and pass on to future generations. Today those hard-earned freedoms are in grave danger. The future of America's greatness depends on us uniting together and returning to the founding principles on which all our liberties stand. Our government would have us to believe that some liberties are unimportant when it comes to national security and modern convenience. Yet it is these so called "small liberties” which set us apart from all other nations!

In order to protect American liberty, it helps to first understand the foundation for it. This foundation lies in the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, both of which are largely influenced by the main source of liberty, the Bible.

To start with the Bible, Galatians 5:1 tells us to "Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. " We are promised in 2 Corinthians that "...where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty." Seeing therefore that true liberty comes from Christ, how can it survive without Him? America was made great because we had freedom to worship the God of the Bible. We had freedom to serve Him, preach His word, and to speak of Him in public WITH OUT FEAR. Because we honored God, He blessed us abundantly.

Now, however, we've allowed the government to take Christ out of our society. We are not allowed to speak of Him in public schools, politics, etc. Biblical standards of morality and virtue are rapidly disappearing, being replaced by crime, immorality and corruption. God hates evil. Until we as a nation return again to Christ, He cannot freely bless us.

Another foundation for our liberty is The Declaration of Independence. It states that life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are unalienable rights, given to us by God. It tells us that when the government body continually abuses and usurps it's authority (the Constitution), it is our right and DUTY to overthrow that government, providing new leaders who will be more faithful to our future liberties. We must exercise that duty when necessary, or else the tyranny we and our future generations face will destroy America.

In order to secure American liberty, our founding fathers formed one of the greatest, if not THE greatest, political documents in history, our Constitution . What makes it unique is the idea that personal liberty is given directly from God, NOT the government. Perhaps this is best explained by Jefferson when he said "When the government fears the people there is liberty; when the people fear the government there is tyranny." According to the Preamble, the Constitution was made to ensure that government would: "establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity."

So why does our Constitution not seem to be working now? The answer is simple: Our current government no longer respects the Constitution. It is ignored, trampled on, and called inadequate by those who desire dictatorial, criminal powers. Seldom do our elected officials consider whether a bill they are trying to pass is Constitutional or not. Jefferson prophesied this downfall when he warned "The two enemies of the people are criminals and government, so let us tie the second down with the chains of the Constitution so the second will not become the legalized version of the first." In order to regain liberty we must study the Constitution ourselves, and re-chain our elected officials by holding them accountable to it.

Two great weapons we have in defending liberty are truth and knowledge. In the gospel of John, Jesus promises us "And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." The Bible also warns in Hosea that nations are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Knowledge is power and truth can set one at liberty. Doesn't it make sense then that the more knowledgeable we are and the more we walk in truth, the stronger we are in our fight for liberty? In a world of lies, truth can be hard to discern, but the more diligent we are, the better we will be able to recognize truth and use it to our advantage.

To conclude, in Psalms the Lord presents a challenge for us by asking “Who will rise up for me against the evil doers and Who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?”

If only we would unite together and answer with Patrick Henry, when he so bravely proclaimed the following combined quotes: “"It is natural to man to indulge in the illusions of hope. We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth... Is this the part of wise men, engaged in a great and arduous struggle for liberty? Are we disposed to be of the number of those who, having eyes, see not, and having ears, hear not, the things which so clearly concern their temporal salvation? For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst and to provide for it.""... So why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!”

May God bless our efforts in uniting for liberty!

Ron Paul for Liberty, 2012!

~Madelyn

Why I support Ron Paul

Ron Paul is for the liberty and freedoms of American citizens, We the People. His message of liberty speaks to our hearts, it arouses passion and enthusiasm. God gave us liberty, He made us to love freedom and desire it. Ron Paul said "The most basic principle to being a free American is the notion that we as individuals are responsible for our own lives and decisions. We do not have the right to rob our neighbors to make up for our mistakes, neither does our neighbor have any right to tell us how to live, so long as we aren’t infringing on their rights. Freedom to make bad decisions is inherent in the freedom to make good ones. If we are only free to make good decisions, we are not really free."

Ron Paul is a man of integrity. You can trust him. He is consistent. He speaks what he believes, not just whatever will enhance his personal gain. He's been saying the same thing for decades. Things which he predicted years ago have now come to pass, to the shock of many skeptics. He truly knows what he talks about. He can't be 'bought'. He won't flip flop or compromise.

Ron Paul's principles which he teaches and lives by are Biblical, Constitutional, and moral. He has been married 55 years, has 5 children (who are all still married to their spouses), and 18 grandchildren. 5 people in his family, including himself, are doctors. As an OBGYN, Ron Paul has delievered over 4000 babies, and not performed a single abortion.

Ron Paul wants to bring our troops home, and have peaceful, non-interventionalist, relationships with all other countries. He wants to build our national defense. So many people don't understand this foreign policy, and are scared of it. They think of Ron Paul as an isolationist who wants to keep America reclusive/secluded. But his views are constitutional, and in line with our founding fathers. And anyone who really studies this policy can understand and appreciate it. Thomas Jefferson said in his first inaugural address "Peace, commerce, and honest friendship with ALL nations-- entangling alliances with NONE". Washington said that "temporary alliances" could be justified for "extraordinary emergencies" but other than that "harmony, liberal intercourse with all nations are recommended by policy, humanity, and interest." (Ibid., p. 235)

Ron Paul is the only veteran presidential candidate- wouldn't you expect him to know something about what the wars 'over there' are really like? And why is it that he gets more donations from active military than all the other candidates and Obama combined? Wouldn't they understand? Do we really have enough respect for our troops to their voices?

Ron Paul is the tax payer's friend. He has NEVER voted to increase any taxes. He believes we should be able to keep every penny we earn. He wants to do away with the income tax, which is unconstitutional. He is called 'Dr. No' because of all the times he's voted no on unconstitutional bills.

Ron Paul the only candidate with a plan to substantialy reduce our spending and debt. He has a consistent record of voting to lower or abolish federal taxes, spending, and regulation, and used his House seat to actively promote sending government back to it's limiting Constitutional levels.

Ron Paul is the only one who truly wants to get rid of abortion. Being an OBGYN doctor, he has delievered over 4000 babies, and never once murdered a baby. He has submitted bill after bill, in attempts to restrict and outlaw it. He's fought to repeal Roe Vs. Wade. You can't be for liberty without being for life. To quote Ron Paul on the issue, "Those who seek a pro-life culture must accept that we will never persuade all 300 million Americans to agree with us. A pro-life culture can be built only from the ground up, person by person. For too long we have viewed the battle as purely political, but no political victory can change a degraded society. No Supreme Court ruling by itself can instill greater respect for life. And no Supreme Court justice can save our freedoms if we don't fight for them ourselves."

Ron Paul is the only candidate who talks about the true role of government, and it's limits under the Constitution. His principles are largely founded on the 10th amendment; limiting the Federal government to it's strict confines, and leaving the states free to do as they choose. Many people are unfamiliar with the principle, due to lies spread by the media, polititians, etc. Because of that, they misunderstand and fear Ron Paul's 'stance' on things such as drugs, homosexuality, prostitution, abortion, schooling etc. However, Ron Paul actually wants to allow the STATES to excercise their Constitutional right choose for THEMSELVES what their laws will be--NOT letting the Federal government do such!

Ron Paul the only one that can really beat Obama. Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich, and Rick Santorum all have pasts with well known flaws. They're flip floppers and in the race for power. Obama would have plenty to attack them on, and destroy them. Ron Paul has a clean, consistent record, with no 'skeletons in the closet'. Ron Paul can appeal to the left on numerous issues, such as anti-war, anti-drug war, ending the Fed, civil liberties, ending corporate welfare and opting out of Socialism Security. He won't try to dominate Congress or the states. He's the only GOP candidate who is strong where Obama is strong. He polls best among young people, Democrats, blacks, independents and voters in the Northeast where Obama won every single state. "

If not Ron Paul, what other option do we have? More progressives, power hungry men who will further enslave our nation? More war, more debt, more laws, less liberty. We have to put someone we can trust up there. Ron Paul can't work miracles and suddenly fix everything, but he is dedicated and determined, and will do whatever he possibly can towards liberty.

So many of those who don't like Ron Paul simply misunderstand him. They don't know what he really believes and wants. They listen to the mainstream media and either don't hear at all about him, or hear negative twisted things about him. One reason his most enthusiastic supporters are the youth is because they are on the internet so much. These youth are worried about the future of our generation, and they do research online to find the truth. They don't just listen to the regular biased media and make descisions based on what they are told. So if you don't like Ron Paul, please, research him on youtube, google, etc and give him a chance! You might be glad you did!

For liberty,

Madelyn Stanley
