I didn't think I could have any more respect for Ron
Paul then I already
did. After all, he's been trying to make changes for
30 years, and for most
of those years, he's been a lone voice with very few
listeners. It's only
recently that people have started listening to what he has
to say, and
joining in at his side. That takes some serious dedication
to keep that up
for all these years.
I recently heard an interview with Carol Paul, and after
hearing a few
particular sentences in this interview, I have a whole new
level of respect
for Ron Paul. I realized that what I've been doing is
peanuts compared to
all that Ron Paul has done.
The interview can be found at:
Part 1:

Part 2:
http://mp3.wtprn.com/LibertyCafe/0806/20080621_Sat_LibertyCafe2.mp3
The piece of the interview I'm referring to is in Part
2 at about 9 1/2
minutes.
To paraphrase Carol Paul:
"Ron could have made a lot more money staying in
medicine then by going into
politics.
But he said, 'What good will money be to us if we
destroy it? We have our
families to think of, and our friends, and their children,
and generations
to come."
He loved medicine, absolutely loved it, but he could see
what was happening
to our country.
He said, 'If you know something is wrong, and you
don't speak out, then
you're just as bad as those who are doing
it.'"
So when Ron Paul quit his medical practice to become a
congressman, he took
a pay cut. He left a job that he loved for a job that he
felt was his duty
to do. He didn't do this for himself... he did it for
those he loves, for
the country he loves, and for you and me.
Despite all I've done since learning of Ron Paul, I
realized that I have not
done enough. Although Ron Paul has withdrawn his campaign,
he has not
dropped out. The opportunity for Ron Paul to be president
is not truly over
until the Republican National Convention is over. I feel
that it is my duty
to continue to fight for Ron Paul as president for at least
another month
and a half until the RNC is over. It's the least I can
do to honor what Ron
Paul has done for 30 years.
There are 2380 delegates that will be at the Republican
National
Convention. These are the only people that we need to
concentrate on. We
don't need to get millions of people to go out and
vote. We don't need to
get the media's attention. We don't need to raise
$6 million in a day. We
don't have to make Ron Paul's book the #1
bestseller.
All we have to do is change the minds of as many of those
2380 delegates as
we can, and we have about a month and a half to do it.
These 2380 delegates
have all the power to choose the Republican candidate.
These are the only
people that matter for getting Ron Paul the Republican
nomination.
If we concentrate all our efforts on these 2380 delegates
for a month and a
half, we can make a huge impact. A lot of these delegates
are misinformed
and have been brainwashed with lies. The advantage we have
is the truth,
which can easily break through the lies they have been
taught. All we have
to do is overwhelm them with the obvious.
There are some projects already set up to reach theses
delegates, and they
need your help.
The DVD's For Delegates Project needs contributions
immediately to send
DVD's to all delegates before the RNC:

Nevada Ron Paul supporters need contributions for their
legal defense fund.
They have gone far in fighting their corrupt local GOP to
get Ron Paul
delegates to the RNC. Read more about it here:

I want you to STOP and really think about this. Think
about how much we
have accomplished, think about how much you have done for
this campaign so
far, and think about how you can best contribute now to
finish this campaign
right and make your dream a reality. *Then act.*
