THANK YOU FOR THE SUPPORT! I go to the convention in 10 days, so let's discuss issues, especially about CA this before I go. Mental Health and Guns are a big double whammy to fight.
I will be emailing those who contributed donations an email of thanks.
AGAIN THANK YOU, I am very proud to be taking the Daily Paul community with me into the CA GOP Spring Convention!! I will be reporting from the convention and make a report when I return home. I leave for the convention 28 February and Return March 4th.
LIBERTAS PERPETUA!
Remember to warm up the crowd with this one...
"Before I start, I'd like to extend a warm welcome to all of our brothers and sisters in the Nation of Islam and their spectacularly misunderstood leader, Louis Farrakhan. As-salamu alaykum." (Wait for applause... keep waiting........)

I'm not going to give a speach
but if I was, and they were there, I would welcome them, and they would appaulse while the racists wouldn't.

You must understand that
You must understand that Farrakhan's history and the principles of his organization are based on racism. You don't get a free pass based on a single instance of agreement with Ron Paul with decades of prior hate-mongering.
www.gunowners.org
Racism that affected Farrahkan and Muslims?
Farrakhan has a long list of issues he agrees with Ron Paul, and being he was raised from the Civil Rights, has withstood decades of MSM censorship, slander and bias, worse that what we experienced campaigning for Ron Paul.. of all political groups emerging, I would think, that we the people are not just white or Judeo Christian, or Hispanic, or based on what has been claomed one said in the past, least we forget the notorious Ron Paul Newsletter.
Farrakhan represents the blowback of racism, the caged and controlled, perpetually assulted and the quest to be liberated under a constitution that actually stands for all, not just rich white folk.
Liberty doesn't mean we have to homogenize, it means we are free to be who and what we are, God's will or our own and taking responsibility for our wrongs while working to make more rights.

So... you disapprove of
So... you disapprove of "white racism" toward blacks, but approve of "black racism" toward whites. That appears to be the message you're promoting.
Pandering to "race card" politics is not the way to grow the liberty movement. This is the cardboard cutout mentality that has poisoned both Democrats and Republicans.
www.gunowners.org
Not at all Velveeta
I think all racism is based in fear.
I am promoting a disscussion about Farrakham and The Nation of Islam because I see simularities between them and the Liberty Movement. If we can not make peace in America with Americans, then what's to make us think in terms of global peace?
One thing I noticed about ALL Liberty lovers, they don't appreciate pandering.
Straying from the constitution and selling us out is what poisoned both major parties.
STAND WITH RAND 2016
Any similarities between the
Any similarities between the liberty movement and Farrakhan's organization are coincidental. There are certain appeals to fear in both, to be sure (fear of a destroyed America, fear of the "white man"). Both are fringe movements. Both have symbolic leaders who are controversial... But you are sympathizing with a movement contrary to the liberty cause with a questionable premise. Because you view "broadening the base" of the liberty movement as your primary goal, you are grasping at any group you suspect might align with Ron Paul's beliefs. It's desperate and misguided.
www.gunowners.org
I thought of it as learning
My primary goal politically, is to educate myself and restore the republic within the GOP by voting in republiCANs who understand Ron Paul's message. The Liberty Movement is seperate from the rEVOLution, though they quest for Ron paul's message to materialize, the rEVOLution is now, for the most part with Rand, and the Loberty Movement is seeking ways to grow, of course reaching out to others is key. But who? Farrakhan has a huge following. I would not be surprized if someone said he voted for Obama. But three days ago, I could'nt honestly say much about Farrakhan from my own inniative or interest. Why you find it desperate and misquided is because the idea I presented strikes fear: False Evidece Appearing Real.
I think the answer, the real answer, is Ron paul would not appear with Farrakhan, and there will never be a reason given. And that's ok too.
STAND WITH RAND 2016
Really? You think Farrakhan might have voted for Obama?
I doubt that very much. From the speeches he's given that I've heard on YouTube, it wouldn't surprise me if he and his people sat that election out. It seemed clear to me he was more than hinting to them to vote for Ron Paul.
BTW, I am friends with one of his devoted followers. (So much for the racist bigotry lie.) It was clear to me that she felt it was "Ron Paul or none at all".
I agree with you you ((((((Nonna))))))
I think it's more likely they didn't vote, and I see no record of his voting. And yeah, it seems he has stood more for Ron Paul which is why I even bothered looking at him in the first place.

You're not going to vote for Romney again are you?
Remember - supporting establishment republicans is supporting killing tens of thousands of innocent people around the world with OUR TAX MONEY.
It's a shame I have to explain this to a member of the DailyPaul.
Something's way out of whack with that.
"We have allowed our nation to be over-taxed, over-regulated, and overrun by bureaucrats. The founders would be ashamed of us for what we are putting up with."
-Ron Paul
I think keeping a loyalty oath
is more important when it comes to principles, then a vote for a stooge.
Now I'm an elected RepubliCAN and fighting on the front line, while you make jokes as if theat's restoring the republic.
I think it's a shame you are refusing to learn how to win, rather than keep rehashing losses.
WE ARE WINNING WE ARE THE FUTURE

Taking a loyalty oath to
Taking a loyalty oath to support "immoral" principles is even worse. If I had been given that choice, I would've resigned from the organization.

I wanted to be a RP national delegate
and I had to sign that oath just like hundreds of other RP national delegates. We are now in and remain fighting.

"Fighting" for WHAT?
You have become the system. You are the system.

Restoring the republic
yes, I have become the system.
Ron Paul was the system.

talk is cheap
it's your actions that show the real person. you can talk the liberty talk all you want, but when you shamelessly and tirelessly shill for the establishment then you are the establishment. if it looks like a duck......
Yes, I am very new to being the establishment
and I hope that I represent one among many working to restore the republic to a constitutional one.
STAND WITH RAND 2016
talk is cheap
If you think shilling for the establishment is going to "restore the republic to a constitutional one," then you are completely ignorant to what is going on around you.
you say one thing, but your actions have different consequences...you are a perfect establishment shill.
maybe
you can get them to repeal oaths so that you wont have to be such a shill for whatever establishment scumbag you think your oath ties you to.
LOL!
She CHOSE to support Rombama, that oath crap is an excuse. She sure doesn't care that the creeps she supported broke oaths and rules and bones.
So I guess that makes me "crazee, hurt and jealous". Whatever. At least I didn't support a fascist liar.
The more you learn about politics, the better the vocabulary
when speaking about politics.
By shill standards, I am now a shill for the rEVOLution Liberty Movement.
I'm not alone.

Granger...
I've been out of the loop lately. I wasn't aware you were doing this. I'd like to donate something to your trip. Are you able to still accept contributions? Do you have a link or instructions as to how to do this?
((((((Nansea)))))))
(((((((Nansea)))))) One did not need to be out of a loop to miss the fundraiser for my, Send The Granger to Sacramento, post. It was up for less than 24 hours before we achived the goal of $575.00
I closed the post to terminate more donations and began this one to THANK everyone who offered me, good luck, best wishes, "give 'em Hell", "Go get em", and donations.
Please accept my offering you a place on this post in saying THANK YOU (((((Nansea)))) for the offer to contribute to my pending trip to the CA GOP Spring Convention in Sacramento, where I look forward to passout the business cards I ordered that have www.randwatch.com on the back, and flyers with up and coming federal/national level liberty candidates in the GOP like Justin Amash. I hope to look Karl Rove in the eye and say, "The people are catching on, Karl.", and show some silver at the dinner and lunch table to teach people about sound money, and talk about the constitution, and how far we've lost our way by being played to losing our rights.
I'm taking you in my heart with me.
STAND WITH RAND 2016
Thank you Granger,
for giving me the opportunity to help.
(((((((((((((MN))))))))))))
I gave a link to DP to the chair. Wrote and told my committee what we achieved here, and haven't heard a peep. THANK YOU for the opportunity to fundraise.
I didn't know what to expect, and so far, it feels good to be supported, like I'm not alone, even if I'm an individual. It's a day I'll always remember.

Congrats for having all the marbles in order, Granger!
(You have a seriously obsessed stalker after you, down-voting every single gracious thank-you note you wrote to well-wishers. Well, I guess it proves how magnetic & impossible to ignore you are ;-)
I wonder if MichaelN & the mods can identify the stalker and tell him/her to desist.
You can tell them to desist
You can just as easily be the policeman.
Is a negative vote a federal crime? Should I inuit their motives and ban them as well?
Clearly the person is jealous, which means this soul is in pain. Perhaps we should pray for this soul instead?
Here's what I like about the Granger. She is a tough cookie, and she can take it. The Granger is a mountain. Immovable. A minus one vote from some crazee, or hurt, jealous person doesn't bother her one bit. But if it does, she knows this is the price of freedom: Sometimes you meet people who aren't the way you want them to be.
And then what?
That is what life is all about: "And then what?"
((((((ytc)))))))
Just got business cards ordered with www.randwatch.com on the back. so I have something to pass out at convention.
Would be nice to have a list of up and comming Ron Paul repibliCANs, besides Justin Amash to share.

Education is the other issue
For about a decade, Ca had the highest quality educational content standards in the nation. I was part of the review committee for math textbooks in the 2001 adoption. The effort at the time was completely without regard to politics. Rep Steve Baldwin (R) led the effort, while the standards were put in place by a democratic governor. Arnold was not a friend of the standards and put political cronies on the state board instead of people who knew what the battle was about. Governor Jerry "Moonbeam" Brown is a complete disaster and has replaced the standards with the "common core" standards from the feds. This is why there was a thread on this website lately about algebra.
This is a pretty good reference website outlining the "math wars" that led to the state standards:
http://www.mathematicallycorrect.com/
The nationalized standards are displacing content standards across the nation. They are very very weak compared to what was in place in a few states.
The math wars had shifted to New York:
http://www.nychold.com/ (Elizabeth Carson is a friend)
Now it seems Ca may be ripe for a renewed battle.
It's a good issue for Repubs now since the Dems have gone down the dark road. A main issue is simply getting the right people in place on the state board.
I'm very familiar with this history.
