What Ron Paul Needs To Hear

When I first heard about you, I thought..."To go against the Greed Machine that's hijacked our country. That's either the bravest man in the world or the stupidest."
I've always known that something was broke but didn't know how to fix it. So, consequently, I accepted it. Now I know that what you believe in IS our salvation. You have awakened me from my trance. My eyes are open and I finally feel that I know my way. I'm eternally grateful for this inspiration. Keep up the fight.... for this IS the home of the brave

Love and Gratitude,
Janet Smith

This slipped out of sight since last night, just want to make sure everybody gets a chance to put in their 2 cents.

Thank you Dr. Paul for stepping up and being the catalyst to regain our freedom and liberty. Thank you for defending the constitution all these years and not being corrupted when going to Washington like most of the others. Thank you for giving us a voice! Your doing great and were with you!

If ever a time should come, when vain and aspiring men shall possess the highest seats in Government, our country will stand in need of its experienced patriots to prevent its ruin. Samuel Adams

Dr. Paul, you say it's about the message and not about you, but I beg to disagree. Yes, your message is powerful and needed today. But you, the man you are, are a wonderful messenger. Your kind and gentle personality, your total devotion to principle, your impeccable personal and professional life, your strength and courage, your logical smack-downs of the other candidates(!), these are just a few of the things that make me a devoted and loyal supporter. I work every day for you because I am inspired by your schedule and your tirelessness. You have launched a movement that, for the first time in decades, gives me hope for the future. You've earned your place in history and I am proud to be a part of it, and I thank you.

My support of you is not conditional yet it's not about hero worship. At a family Thanksgiving gathering, I told my in laws the math is simple; I agree with Ron Paul 90% of the time and no candidate has ever approached 50% in my years of voting. To amplify my point, I pointed to their phone and shouted "I don't care if Congressman Paul called right now and said Joe Parisi is the biggest idiot in America, I would still vote for him because he's right." Then the phone rang... we all paused for a moment, then had a good laugh. Thought you might want a little chuckle from a true story.

Wisdom is not enough, the liberty movement needs courage and you sir, have the heart of a lion. Godspeed, and let's win this thing.

- Joe Parisi

Thank you for holding the torch and fighting for us through all the ridicule and frustraion, we are with you. The torch of liberty is still burning and we thank you for taking up the cause of being the bearer.

Dr. No - 80's style

20 years later, same old Dr. Paul. I wonder if this time after people see that this is the same solution that they threw away 20 years ago, in the interest of doing something to actually "change" the government for the better, they might pay attention this time?

We can only pray and keep talking to people.

Dr. Paul as I read these tributes to you, tears flooded my eyes. They were all saying what was stirring in my own heart. I have followed and admired your devotion to liberty ever since learning about you at the Libertarian National Convention in 1996. A couple years ago I had pretty much given up debating the cause of liberty because it seemed like the cause was hopeless.

The war on terrorism was truly becoming a war against America's Citizens. "From Freedom To Fascism" says it all. I didn't feel we could continue fighting our slide into becoming a "fallen empire", robbed of all hope and the American Dream. When you began running for President I had hopes....but I had been there before....but when I began seeing that not only were you becoming an internet Phenomemon, but you had your grassroots...growing by the day, my hopes were renewed and I joined the grassroots. I have felt solidarity with the thousands that have contributed to your money bombs and discovered solidarity as I mixed with other grassroots supporters....feeling I had found family. Dr. Paul....we love you...and we're covering your back. We're all family and regardless of what happens with this election, you have started a revolution that is historical and the results will inspire hearts for generations to come.....that the vision and hope for freedom and liberty is worth persevering for.....and its because for these last many years you have persevered.....often alone.....and won. Thank You for your message and your courageous example.

Dr. Paul,

I often wonder, as I look at your face while people take jabs at you, if you might ever feel dejected. I sometimes think I detect a bit of that in your expression. Perhaps I'm reading you wrong; perhaps it is my own frustration that causes me to feel dejected for you. It infuriates me to see you marginalized, because I KNOW that you are decent, sincere and principled. And, perhaps most importantly, I know that you are RIGHT.

Whatever the case, please know that you have legions of supporters who hang on your every word, nodding our heads; who smile when the other candidates trip over their own tongues while trying to steal your unwavering 30-year record and twist it into vapid one-liners. They are envious of your record, because it cannot be manufactured. A solid foundation like yours can only be built with the passage of time and the discipline to never compromise your principles. Your supporters know this.

Know that you will always have supporters -- no matter what -- and that you have sparked a true revolution of ideas in America. Think of all the young supporters you have awakened, who might have otherwise remained apolitical; they are your legacy. For the rest of their lives they will always have one word in the back of their minds, influencing their actions: LIBERTY! Keep this thought in your mind while the naysayers nay, and together we will make them look like the hyenas they really are.

Keep your chin up, Dr. Paul. We're right behind you.

----------
The opposite of freedom is slavery; if I am 99% free, then I am part slave, which is like being "a little bit pregnant." Freedom versus slavery is a zero-sum game.

Your steadfast, quiet authority and principled beliefs have been instrumental in making me and my whole family re-examine the liberties that we have. And also made us wake from our complacent slumber. Regardless of the results of this election, my family's renewed devotion to the Constitution will not fade.

We also praise you for your tireless voice of reason on the behalf of all Americans. It must have been difficult to often be the lone person willing to stand up for what is right and good--yet you did. Lesser men would have failed.

You are our hero.

I am at home right now after watching the debate at Murphy's in Manchester. Had some great food, some great beers and am ready for bed. Ron Paul is 72 years old and is probably still waiting to get near a bed. He is a hero. Lets give him some money!

Until you came along, I was ready to say "A pox on both parties!" There have been too many of our freedoms that have been thrown away in the name of security--My late father always said "security is for pigs" , and I agreed. i would rather have a free country than riches. My daughter, who is 7, and I love you (as do my husband and son-my son is 2). We pray for you to be safe on the campaign trail and that you will be encouraged by all of us. I wanted to also say thanks for letting me take a picture of you with my hubby and two children , and for remaining uncorrupted by politics. Thank you for living the Christian life, and not preaching too often. Your life is a light in itself. Thank you also for reminding us that morality is more of a heart issue than a legislative issue, too few understand this. May the best man win--because it is you!

Dr. Paul,

My husband and I have been supporters of yours for almost 10 years now. I remember when you were speaking in San Marcos, TX at a little mexican restaurant with about 40 people in attendance. What was amazing is the passion of those 40 people who weren't even in your district! And guess what! You were saying the EXACT SAME THING you are saying now!

I get tears in my eyes when I see those crowds of people cheering you on. You have been pretty much the lone voice for so many years and now people are finally hearing you. As I watched the debate tonight I was appalled at the lack of respect the other candidates were giving you but as shocking as it was to see it, this is what you have been putting up with for 30 years! How in the world have you stayed so strong against so much opposition?

You are no longer alone. You may look alone but in reality you are just standing in front of millions of people supporting and encouraging you. I can't say enough how glad I am for you and what you stand for.

We are united and together we stand for freedom!

Dr. Ron Paul has, even at this early juncture, already provided more inspiration and motivation to the people of the United States than any other politician in living memory. This is not an overstatement. His unwavering dedication to the principles that define America is matched only by his boundless energy in promoting these principles.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Ron. And should you ever feel overwhelmed by the pressure of your position, please remember that the American people are behind you all the way. Win or lose, you have already achieved the incredible: proving that the power of constitutional adherence and common sense resonates with all Americans.

this long and dreary fight leaves us all worn and tired at the end of the day, but laying down to rest we remember the promise of a new day, and we are filled with hope and inspiration that leaves us nearly sleepless. it's because we have a leader who will stop at nothing, who knows his followers are individual leaders ready to fight as never before. thank you, Dr. Ron Paul, for giving America hope, for reminding us what it means to fight for ourselves and those we care for. thank you for answering all the questions we thought would never be fully understood. thank you for curing political apathy with your clear words and firm principles. thank you for rejecting any way but the right way. thank you for always smiling and being polite while never losing sight of our goals. thank you for reminding me that the childhood dream of America i thought never existed can become a reality if we all band together and push this dream forward. thank you for reminding us what being American is truely about. our forefathers would be so proud of you! we love you and keep you in our prayers! we stop at nothing to spread your message and we will back you when other close-minded sheep turn away and continue to trudge in the neo-con footsteps that are so well worn. the easy way is not our way. only the right way is the way we shall take. we are patriots once and forever, let freedom ring!

You are truly an inspiration... For what it's worth, as a veteran of the United States Marine Corps, I salute you - and you only.

It is not in me to follow another man without great consideration, but you, sir, have proven your mettle. I am honored to support you - through thick and thin - no matter what happens...

Yours in Liberty,

Shovel

Thank you for remaining true to your principles and to the Constitution while surrounded by pragmatic and dishonest politicians.
You are a true patriot and American Hero. How fitting that such a humble man as yourself will go down in history as the greatest American statesman ever, and the father of the second American revolution.
You are doing an unbelievable job. You have helped awaken millions.
We already won, there is no stopping this movement now and I thank you with all my heart and every bit of money I can afford!

Time to donate again ;-)

History will record at least one of three things about you regarding your consistent voice:

1) He became President of the United States
2) He was the lone voice who tried to speak before it was too late
3) He began the second revolution

I hope and pray for all three.

Kindest Regards and best wishes

"This is the natural order of things. Water flows down hill, and man rises from a state of nature to civilization and the sciences, from slavery to freedom, advancing like stair steps. These are laws of nature, at times late and slow in their operation, but certain in their results." Brother Stephen F. Austin

It is obvious that I admire your work and dedication. The only thing that might add is that now my woman has fallen in love you..

Let it be known that the history books of our nation will not be able to exclude you from their pages because you have continued to provide the beacon of light that shines the truth upon the Republican party. The movement you have inspired is how you have achieved immortality because it will now continue for generations to come (my 2 year old has a ONEZEE with "My daddy wants me to grow up free so he's voting for Ron Paul"). More than your insightful writings, comprehensive understanding of economics that no other candidate possesses and your true Christian example is the fact that you will go down in the tomes of history as the figure that cured an apathetic population and stirred them to participate in their Republic. Please get some well deserved rest because we are with you for the long haul ahead.

Dr. Paul,

You have said in an interview that, 'its not me, its the message' but I tell you that you are the message. Your life long devotion to your principles, your ability not to flinch in the face of attacks, your honesty, the way you state your Christian principles without actually stating them, all of this together is the message.

Your witness is more powerful than anything or anyone I have ever seen.

God bless you and your loved ones.

Ron Paul I want to thank you with all my heart. You make me realise what it means to be free. You inspired me with your principals and courage. I can not thank you enough!!!!

I've considered myself a libertarian for about 10 years now. I've been following Harry Browne and Ron Paul for about as long. Right after 9/11 I became filled with blood lust. I seriously wanted us to respond by nuking meca. This isn't an exageration. I was from New Jersey and two of my high school classmates died at the WTC.

But on 9/12 I read a speech by Harry Browne about why we were attacked.
http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=24444

On 9/17 I read a speech by Ron Paul http://www.house.gov/paul/tst/tst2001/tst091701.htm

These two men helped me see reason again. Without their words I think I would be as fearful and confused as some of those that support the neo-cons.

Can you imagine the nerve of people like this to make these statements less then a week after 9/11?

I love you Ron Paul. You give us so much hope in America. Don't let those other goons get you down. You sounded so much more Presidential and knowledgeable than anyone.

They diminish themselves in their attempt to diminish you. You just keep looking better and better. They are lucky to share the same space as you.

Thank you, Dr. Paul.

I want Dr Paul to know that no matter what happens in this primary cycle that I love him for being someone I can actually vote for because I support, rather than calculate.

In the event that we fail, I hope he uses his political attention to give the movement multiple leaders which we can all unite around and continue to work to change our country for the better.

Ron Paul is an inspirational man. He stands for principles. He stands like a douglas' fir tree in our national forests. Even if a fire comes, he can still take the singe but stay standing. We are living a novel that becomes more Orwellian with each turning page, with each day. As we peer into the pages of this real life Orwellian novel we look for leadership, we look for heroes - we find none. Then Ron Paul speaks up. He's a hero to true freedom. He will come in and become the hero in this novel's time of desperation. If not, the book will end and then become a dusty chapter in history.

Ron Paul is honest. Even on tonight's ABC debates, there was nothing bad that could be said about him.

Ron Paul IS our only hope for America (thus far). Us supporters feel this. We know this. We know that without Ron Paul gaining ground, even if he loses the presidency, more than half of the citizens of America will lose the message of the RevoLution.

Ron Paul doesn't bend with the wind. All the other candidates do that. Ron Paul, is a man that if he says something, you better listen, because he speaks the truth.

Ron Paul, we love you man. Keep on going!!!!!!!
Keep spreading your message even if the fucktard media doesn't help spread it!!

Your place in history is cemented, a modern day founding father. A true citizen statesman. An American Hero, a patriot. The most principled man in Washington. A light that shines in very dark times. Thank you Dr. Paul.

You have made me realize that there are still good, honest, and respectable people serving in our government. You are an inspiration to me, my family and all the Patriots left in this country.

Thank you for all you have already done for Americans and all that you will do as President.

Dr. Paul, you are our modern-day hero. You sir, have already won! A presidency wanes, but what you've started will likely be around, and written about, decades into the future. I'm proud to be a 'Ron Paul Supporter', and will fondly remember this journey with you the remaining years of my life - no matter what the outcome. America and the world loves you.
