* 10% - Double Digits, Baby! * Paul Beats Giuliani *

*thump*

I traveled around my small community and repaired Dr. Paul’s signs, and I added a few more. I also have attempted to get my friends to register, but I am only a volunteer. One of the Democratic candidates had dozens of signs, some blocking out the other candidates signs.

I was a Iowa caucus goer and cast my vote for Dr. Paul. I though do have one concern there seems to be a disconnect between the Grassroots effort and campain head quarters. We need to build a brigde between us and really make this a political machine that can't be stopped. I had signed up to Dr. Paul's site and checked the box as a volunteer. Its was a couple days before the caucus that I recieved a letter asking to be a precinct leader. With that short a notice I wasn't able organize anything but show up to my caucus room and vote. I don't want this to happen in Michigan or any of the other states. We need to be more organized with the campain so we can get the word out on whats lacking when it comes to fulfilling our goal of getting Dr. Paul elected. I know that the short time that the campain actually spent time in Iowa they focused on the larger demographical areas. I beleave if there had been a call out from the campain head quarters that we needed people to beat ice off the stump in small town Iowa we would of had a better showing now. The sign drive in Iowa only came to my area once and that day we had a ice storm in progress so I wasn.t able to pick up any. If I had been able to my county would of been plastered with them. But as it was I put up as many as I could afford to buy. If they would of just asked I would of used my own pickup and dropped sign off to people in east Iowa where I live. I guess what I'm trying to get acroos is we need to coordinate with campain head quarters and fill in where they are short handed and still continue with what we do best and thats admire and support the great Dr. Paul.

I am a resident of New Hampshire and I recently met Congressman Paul at a Town Hall event. He seemed to be one of the most sincere people I have ever met, and he was truly interested in my opinion. He made me feel like I mattered as a citizen. I am very glad that he surpassed Guiliani in the Iowa caucus. The more persecution he receives from corrupt organizations, the more people sympathize with him. I am almost happy that Fox decided to exclude him from the debate, since that action generates free publicity for Dr. Paul. I feel that Dr. Paul is our last chance at retaining some semblance of liberty in our country. The Globalist/Socialistic individuals want to track everyone with biometric internal passports and even microchips. They would like to run every living thing on the earth like a video game, or like the bee’s in that recent film, since; they are power-mad. This involves not only large governments, but also some large corporations-like that major retailer, or some of these resorts. Guiliani is always talking about how great he thinks biometric cards would be. I think Guiliani has interests in a security firm, if I am not mistaken. I strongly identify with Dr. Paul in his opposition to the national I.D. card. I understand his free-market stance, but I hope he considers the fact that many of these big companies would like to create a sort of police state of their own; they even work directly with big-government and support socialistic policies (google spying on the Chinese people for example). I probably agree with 90% of what Dr. Paul says; with the other candidates I am lucky if I agree with 20%. I also like his foreign policy; he is the only candidate who will steer us away from all these extraneous wars. I am praying in Jesus name for Dr. Paul’s safety and that the Father will watch over him. I am not ashamed of the name of Jesus. I will vote for Ron Paul.

I'm one of those Ron Paul supporters that doesn't get called in the polls, because I don't usually vote. Only when I see someone worth voting for do I make it out to vote. It's usually the lesser of 2 evils. I don't know about you guys, but I personally can see straight through most candidates... almost every election. Only maybe Reagan and possibly (gag) Jimmy Carter in my lifetime have seemed like honest, up-right citizens with intefrity and a solid desire to want to make this country a better place. Carter sucked as president, but I believe he is a very honest and compassionate human being. Reagan was a great man and a great president. Now we have Ron Paul. I'll get out and vote this time.

About the Iowa caucus...

10% is a lot better than 4%. That is what Ron Paul finished in the Iowa straw poll... 4%. In the New Hampshire Taxpayers straw poll, Ron Paul finished with 65.3%. He's never done well in Iowa and 10% is a very strong showing as far as I'm concerned. I'm defintely looking forward to New Hampshire.

That's my 2 cents.

Go ron go!!!

For a comprehensive archive of streaming video of mainstream media coverage on Ron Paul right before, and right after the Iowa caucus, visit http://www.federaljack.com

Despite a strong showing in Iowa, Ron Paul results blatantly omitted from the Miami Herald, and other media outlets.

In both this morning's print editions of the New York Times and Miami Herald, earning 10% of the vote in Iowa failed to qualify Ron Paul as worthy of any mention in reports of the results of the GOP Iowa caucus. "Even while covering candidates who came in below Ron Paul’s numbers, Adam Nagourney refuses even a passing mention of him in today’s New York Times cover story", reports Ronpaulwarrrom.com, while I personally perused the January 4th Final Edition of the Miami Herald in search of last night's results, only to find that Dr. Paul's numbers failed to even appear in an article or graph of any sort. They were apparently outright omitted. In fact, the Herald carried a story about Rudy Giuliani attending a campaign rally in Miami yesterday, and somehow neglected to publicize his meager showing, particularly his finishing substantially behind Ron Paul. However, while devoting absolutely no ink to Dr. Paul in their Iowa coverage, they only had this to say of Giuliani's day in Iowa: "Rudy Giuliani may have been way behind the top Republican presidential contenders in Thursday night's Iowa caucus, but he was hoping to be ahead of the pack in Florida." Does the Herald consider Dr. Paul a 'top' contender? If so, why no mention of him? He did outperform Rudy 10% to 4%, despite enjoying much less general name recognition than the former mayor of New York.

Americans are not familiar with this phenomenon called "Revolution". Just because some of you think and have common sense of what's going on in this country doesn't mean that the most people do.
It is still amazing how many of you are behind this great man. Since when has the smart and honest man been succesful in politics? Remember Jay Leno's comment? It was right on the botton.
Most people in thsi coutry are scared. They are used to follow. The true revolution may happen if people really live like the Third World country. Sure this country is well on its way to achieve that goal but we are still "OK".
Those who vote, vote for the those they are told to do so. If they are religious they will vote for the one their preacher will tell them to vote for. Those have work for some big corporation will vote for whoever their bosses will tell them to vote etc. If they don't, well... you know what can happen.
In order for such a great man like Dr Paul to have a chance two things must happen. First the economy has to be so bad that most people are starving, have almost nothing. Second, most people working for small companies, small business owners would actually have to get involved.
Iowa is mostly dumb rednecks who would not vote for anybody else if you tried to use a granate to separate them from their plows, sickles and scythes.

About Iowa : it looks like we've landed in 5th place. John McCain and Fred Thompson, hold 4th and 3rd place, respectively. Honestly, I think we're in a fairly good position. For one thing, we're currently at around 10%, which is better than many of the polls predicted.
And despite the fact that we didn't spend as much time in Iowa as the other candidates (and our poor treatment from the mainstream media), we're just three points out of third place. We've also managed to beat former front-runner Giuliani with three times his vote total!

Concerning the candidates who placed higher than Dr. Paul: Huckabee (the winner) is still considered largely unacceptable by many factions within the Republican party and has little national organization to win in many of the other states. Meanwhile, Romney (who placed second) has spent so much money campaigning in Iowa that it's unclear how he will do elsewhere. Same thing goes for McCain, who will probably
fare well in New Hampshire but will most likely be shaky in other states. And Thompson is pretty much out of money...I suspect he will drop out of the race soon. The truth is, we've got a huge grassroots base that can continue to raise money in the days ahead. We are definitely still in an uphill battle...but we've got the organization we need across the nation to continue to spread our message.

Regardless of how Ron Paul performs in this election, I honestly believe that message won't die. America is just beginning to wake up and recognize the need for change in our government. Also...I know it's been mentioned a few times before, but I wanted to encourage those who pray to continue praying for this campaign and for our country. :) This process is just as much a spiritual struggle as that "against flesh and blood."

Until next time, take care and God bless! You all are amazing - don't stop championing the cause of freedom!

I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies.The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people to whom it properly belongs.

First stretch of a long horse race. Our guy is in the pack and nosing out Rudy G. This is all good. Thank goodness the campaign has money in the bank.

Now is the time to kick in a little more. I think the next $ bomb is Jan 16th. Hope it helps..!

Found this link about Wyoming...http://community.planetjh.com/blogs/building_a_strong_wyoming/default.aspx

"The Wyoming Republicans will be electing on January 5, 12 delegates to the National Convention. Every presidential election Sublette and Teton Counties alternate which county gets to elect the delegate. This presidential election it is Teton County's turn and Sublette County will elect the alternate delegate. The Ron Paul campaign and Mitt Romney campaign have been the most active in Teton County heavily vying for that one delegate.

...The Ron Paul campaign appears to be the most organized in Teton County, but the Mitt Romney campaign has been trying. Other than those two candidates, the other candidates appear to have written off Wyoming."
