The R3volution requires action, not observation!!!!

I don't claim to know how 912 works, but I am sure you can use with it what helps you, and throw anything bad about it, off to the side. I am sure there will be some things you disagree with in terms of being part of 912, but there is always that aspect of life, in anything we do. You have my support, and congratulations on going mainstream. That is exactly what we need, to go mainstream, but remain principled. Best of luck to you!!!!!

On your platform and issues

On your platform and issues section on your website, I like what I see so far, but the info is pretty sparse. Hope you will fill that section out soon so that people can see where you stand on issues like illegal immigration and amnesty(hoping you will take the current Ron Paul position on those things) and other things.

The web guys are still creating the dropdown menus,

don't worry

Many others to follow, working on the rest. On illegal immigration, top priority is to stop the subsidies for it that our gov't provides.

"How can we justify to the unemployed and underemployed in the United States the incredible cost of maintaining a global empire?" - Dr. Ron Paul

If you support Dr. Paul, I will support you.

Thomas Jefferson once said, "The natural progress of things is for liberty to yield and government to gain ground."

Well, I guess he called that one.

Goood God -- Another One

Good Luck.....*sincerely*

I will only ever vote for ONE "educator" at a time.

Ron Paul -- is our current elected educator.

To "vote" or "lobby" beyond that is to engage in perpetual war.

I would be willing to replace Ron (when he retires) with his son.

Other than that I make no other vote nor give one penny towards any form of abdication.

The 'goal' might be to put liberty candidates in office, but the ACT itself is to abdicate the right to self-rule.

If this is not obvious you do not understand Individualism and how to maintain a free-society (which is EXACTLY how you get into one) -- through Counter-Economics.

Like I said ONE EDUCATOR is all that's needed -- anymore than that and we "war" -- It's a Mathematical and Emotional Fact.

Ron Paul taught me all I need to know

... or rather he put into words what I knew already.

How many teachers/educators did you have in school/college your whole life? I just attended Mises University this summer. There was more than one teacher there as well.

While my goal is to reach office, it simply can not happen without teaching others. Thanks for your comment!

Jake: Like I said -- "Good Luck"

I reserve my vote for One Great Educator (and no more).

Let me make a prediction for you and all other "liberty candidates"

It took Ron Paul 35 years to have a voice in Congress and he is greatly marginalized -- only ONE bill in 35 years has even come close to getting passed. He knows this - he writes those Bills for "educational and historical" purposes.

Fox - Beck - et al have already hijacked the movement (Tea Parties) and disagree with Ron fundementally because they support the war but condem the Fiat Spending needed to support it (they are Bass Ackwards).

I predicted the latter over one year ago and was the first on DP to warn of Beck's treachery and he's still tauted by many here.

What I'm saying in regard to Counter Economics (as the solution) and NEVER "perpetual war" (voting / lobbying) is for the same sort of Education as my last years Beck comments. I'm not expecting people to wake up now, rather a guide post for the future, to show a preternatural ability to predict and be in a position to lend aid when people have worn out the OLDEST and most TESTED useless forms of "resistence" -- VOTING - LOBBYING - ELECTING - PROTESTING. So, very passe.

Perpetual War being a Trotskyian and Marxian axiom to "perpetual revolution" (Communism - Socialism - Democracy)

My "prediction" for you and other "liberty candidates" is this.

To get elected you will need strick RP supporters (no-Birther, no-Truther, anti-War), strick fanatical DPer supporters (yes-Birther, yes-Truther, anti-War), and strick Beck 912-supporters (no-Birther, no-Truther, and pro-War). You need a percentage of all of them to beat out "regular" Republicans and/or Democrats.

How will you Take up RP's position -- DPers positions -- and Glenn Beck's positions all at the same time?

RP: non-911 -- non-Birther -- anti-War
Beck: non-911 -- non-Birther -- pro-War
DPers: pro-911 -- pro-Birther -- anti-War

Given my "prediction" there is no point in electing any of you -- except Rand who will replace RP as the national educator.

Schiff makes too much money in the free-market to take politics serious in the long run and he does not have RP's MSM-Pull. He is seeking a post-congressional (or senatorial) liberty-lobbyist career track. It's the only thing that makes sense.

Do you think an amatuer like me being able to see the writing on the wall will see more than a pro like Schiff?

Schiff's Father (Irwin Schiff) is not a popular man on Capitol Hill -- Schiff on the Hill will be like a duck with Floaties over its wings (pointless - irrelevant - marginalized beyond RP comparison) -- he knows this.

There is a "huge" growing "Liberty Lobby" -- from this a third party will be born -- Beyond Two-Party Perpetual War and Greater Political/Lobby Occilator Profits to be made.

I'm not posting this 'against you' -- you should go for it (get the $135K salary and $1,000,000 yearly budget) - I'm posting this for future edification.

Good Luck (seriously),

Octobox

Thanks for your best wishes!!

I need to appeal to every single person except for Dem/Rep lever pullers to win. You should check out my "Open Office" concept which I am pushing heavily

Agreed.

Will you be writing about your experience at Mises University?

Good luck!

Talked about MU a little here

http://towneforcongress.com/economy/health-care-economics-in...

There is a link at the start of the article that has all the lectures on MP3. Misesmedia on Youtube has several of the lectures on video. It was an amazing experience!!

Our Country Needs You!

Good Luck and Thank-you.

The DP is proof that the grassroots support for Ron Paul and his peaceful message of individual liberty is large, real, and not going away!

912 = Neocon cooption

The very idea of "912" does not get it. There is no such thing as a post 911 world for anyone except the proponents of facism.

Thanks, but...

Thank them for their endorsement, but please be careful about associating yourself too much with Beck. What's with that name? It's just using 911 to push a political agenda, neo-con style. The only thing that 911 has to do with our liberties is that the US uses the 911 logo to stamp out liberties. What's the difference with the 912 logo? It goes to twelve.

See my comment on this thread: http://www.dailypaul.com/node/105688

Jake is No Idiot

Take a look at his plank against the Federal Reserve - http://www.nolanchart.com/article6828.html

He is taking the message and preaching to people outside the choir within the 912 movement and I applaud him for that. I have read his works on Nolan Chart for the past few years and he understands things well.

GO JAKE GO!!!

exactly...

...

Inevitable....

2010 will see A LOT more of this.
The 912 "movement" is not going to go away and neither is the Ron Paul r3volution.... instead of feeling "used" or "diluted" by their "half-message"..... and stewing in resentment over the "purity" issues .......we need to infiltrate/educate ..... start chapters and LEAD them...... guerrilla politics... it's the ONLY way I see to keep this unavoidable confluence from imploding and enabling the right/left paradigm to ultimately HOLD THE POWER when the 2010 dust settles.
INFILTRATE. LEAD. EDUCATE..... Freedom is Popular... take advantage of it.
Jake Towne is doing EXACTLY the right thing.... setting the "standard" with his platform and message.... lead the pack.
ReTakeCongress.com is awesome.... I WANT IT TO ECLIPSE all other "candidate sites" for the Liberty movement. Ultimately though, An EDUCATED and growing electorate CAN AND WILL separate the wheat from the chaff of candidates come election day. GO JAKE!!!

give 20 on 9-20

We need to money bomb, Jake

Check out the work he has posted for years on the Nolan chart.

You should also become

a retakecongress.com candidate!

He is and has been long

He is and has been long before 9-12. The sad thing about 9-12 is that they are now showing their true colors and becoming the propaganda site that is only promoting left vs right, we are afraid that the true message is going to be lost with this tactic that is used everyday in the MSM. Retakecongress isn't about republican vs democrat or conservative vs liberal, we are about real people that will only support the constitution and the people.

912Candidate.org is AWESOME

Thanks for your note!

I've spoken quite a bit with Jacob Roecker (national) and Wayne in my area, and this website is the real deal, which is why I sought their endorsement in the first place. I would watch this video. This is an organization dedicated to the Constitution, and changing our country for the better by constraining gov't. This is VERY much in line with my principles.

http://912candidates.org//about/

I also point out that since I am running as an independent, your point that this group is just about left vs right is weakened.

Maybe later on 912Candidates.org will add another value to END THE FED? :)

Anti-War....

Jake....
I'm glad to see the Foreign Policy of Non- Intervention in your platform....
There are many 912 candidates I see that are coming from the Military and Veteran side of the table..... I wonder how many see this Liberty and Founding Father issue CLEARLY? It is rarely mentioned in other platforms.
If 912candidates.org wants to see its' ranks (and support) swell..... you might see that they add this "value" as well.
Stand up proudly and be bold with this issue.... it is vital (whether you WIN... or whether you LOSE).
Cheers and Blessings. G.

Point Taken, but

It's interesting to see that those willing to stand for something are those coming from the ranks of the veterans among us. There is no plan to change the 9 principles and 12 values to anything other than what they currently are. The things listed are fairly timeless. Items such as ant-war and auditing the fed (with valid arguments for both) are important to a great many folks, yet they are not timeless. Ending the fed may happen, and if the group was centered around that... then what would happen to the organization's identity?

This organization seems to be centered around preserving Liberty, and at the moment actions like auditing the fed, and abolishing the fed are topics that will increase the cause.

I believe that we are each weaving our own thread in this new fabric of America. Every generation has to define their nation. This is our turn, and we've got to patch some holes. I think the country will be better for each of our individual efforts despite what paths we choose.

If I might offer a bit of disclosure: I started off being just me, and felt very alone. Then I became a 9/12er, now more of a constitutionalist, and am leaning more and more in the direction of liking a LOT of what CFL and Ron Paul are saying. This doesn't mean I'm not a 9/12er anymore, but there are steps. Each step forward deserves encouragement. I hope more people see 9/12 candidates as a very good step forward--something worth being congradulated.

Speaking of veterans, Jesse Kelly was recently interviewed on the 912ProjectShow. He's a former marine and listed on retakecongress.com

Thanks all.

(this is my first post here--let's see how it goes)

bump

for your great comment.

Prepare & Share the Message of Freedom through Positive-Peaceful-Activism.

thank you...

I have (weeks ago) posted you site and platform into several political forums I post on..... you have an awesome concept and look forward to your progress reports.... keep em coming Patriot!

We want true candidates not

We want true candidates not mouth pieces, We want real people not politicians, we want people that will uphold the constitution and represent the people. We could care less if they are republican, democrat, independent or come from mars so long as they sign our contract and our platform.

9-12 has become left vs right and that is politics same as usual and we will not be part of that propaganda.

BTW the 9-12 group made it clear they didn't want to work with us and that speaks miles as to their agenda IMO.

Keep in mind though that there will be many people listening to 9-12 that will join our fight for the right reasons and make a real difference. I encourage people to goto the 9-12 rallies and promote our libert and freedom lessage message.
