Why isn't Ron Paul endorsing Medina?

Probably because the incumbent is a Republican. If the incumbent was a Democrat it's almost a certainty that he would be openly endorsing her.

I think that an endorsement isn't necessary, but is an email on election day from Ron Paul the same thing as an endorsement?

It's tough for sitting congressmen to make endorsements in state races.

Our mortal enemies are positioning their candidates to attempt to unseat him in his congressional district.

He can only do what is correct for him.

If he were to come out and 'endorse' any of our beloved candidates, that endorsement may in fact work against that very candidate. It would suddenly draw attention that would serve in energizing their opposition.

Think. He is wise NOT to do that.

the people.

I understand that Campaign for Liberty was originally set up for the purposes of 'educating' the public on the philosophy of 'Liberty' and mobilizing the members to take certain 'actions' re: calling their reps and urging a course of action when asked.

Dr.Paul himself may from time to time come out and 'endorse' someone he feels matches his principles and message eg. when he 'endorsed' Chuck Baldwin for president.

Other than that it is the 'will' of the people to make their own endorsements.

After all, we are 'sovereign' and do not require permission or the need to be 'empowered' by another fallible 'man', when we are already technically 'empowered' as sovereigns.

Endorsements of power-brokers, financial backers, and so-called "kingmakers" are enormously important in conventional politics, where there are no ideas at stake except power and who will exercise it for whose benefit, always at the expense of the hapless voters.

In the politics that Ron Paul (and those who agree with him) are trying to create, endorsements should be regarded as nice--when deserved--but certainly not necessary. Most of Paul's contributions were from people and businesses who agreed with his ideas and policies, NOT those who were exploiting him and his office to get something for themselves or their co-conspirators which they could never get through voluntary and honest means! It is the same with Ms. Medina, Peter Schiff, Adam Kokesh, and others in our movement!

For once, it is our endorsements which count, and Congressman Ron Paul should be appreciated for respecting this. Influential, high profile, even celebrity endorsements from backers (and owners) are necessary for politicians like Obama, the Clintons and Bushes, Martha Coakley and Scott Brown because nobody would vote for them otherwise! Our candidates and their ideas are better than that!

PEACE AND FREEDOM!!
