When did YOU hear about Ron Paul?

I heard about him in may when he went up against Guiliani.

I can't wait to see someone say they heard him from the blimp or from the ny times ad. That would be cool.

I heard of Ron Paul from a floored Democrat! I've always voted Republican nationally and Libertarian locally...Republican if there were no Libertarian candidates. Then comes along a Democrat friend of mine who is somewhat of a centrist(not one of those super lefties) and he mentioned this Republican that stunned him. I was like...who? Never heard of Ron Paul...who is he. He told me to watch a few videos...this was in April. I was hooked and started a local meetup group the first of August...no looking back for me.

Actually I was turned on to him before but I didn't get "active and alive" until I met a meet-up group at a Michigan Gun and Knife show. They had a table set up and were handing out RP info, at first I thought they were from the campaign office.

After I learned that they were all local volunteers, I joined my meet-up group. Now we have meet-up groups all over Michigan buying tables at the gun shows every weekend (we have a lot of gun shows).

who found dr paul on myspace. it seems i set up a page just in time to hear his message of freedom and try to tell everyone i meet and everyone i already know. i guess it was august when i first heard of him. the first video had me hooked. i can't believe there are people who don't get his message and would rather vote for huckabee or someone else. but amazingly enough there are and many are in my family. but i am on the side of freedom now and always, many people are resigned to the way things are and i have a hard time understanding that. we are the people and there are many of us that can be against things that are very wrong. but it seems more are saying we can't do anything about any of it so why even worry. well that is not for me i believe in change for the better and i believe in ron paul!

...to Ron Paul through Libertarian media. I've followed the Libertarian Party since '96 when Harry Browne was running for president. In '04 I watched Freedom to Fascism and researched the good Dr. after being baffled a congressman held the same contempt I have for the government.

Ever since I've been trying to introduce people to libertarianism. But it all didn't click until this past May when my girlfriend's father (quasi-socialist) watched the republican debates. The next day JP and I were having one of our many political discussions and he mentioned how rotten the republican field was... "except for this one old man who made alot of sense, and he spoke like a true statesman," JP muttered. "Not something he's heard in 40 or 50 years," JP continued.

I intuitively jumped up and started shouting "That's RON PAUL! OH MY GOD HE'S RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT!" But what was even more amazing was that in the two minutes that Ron Paul received during that SC debate was that he courted my girlfriends father away from socialism and towards libertarianism.

I've been trying for 2-3 yrs on this and Ron Paul did it in 2-3 minutes.
Ever since I joined a Ron Paul meetup and have donated twice. I can't wait till December 16th.

While I didn't think he won, I noticed that he did win according to the internet poll. It cracked me up a bit, so I researched him on the internet a bit. I really loved his fundraising map ( I thought about how I could use it for my own purposes). I took a couple polls and they said according to my views Ron Paul was my man. THen on November 5th, everytime I checked the site, I saw the thermometer flying, I was hooked. So this is catching on, and I imagine there are thousands like me, who don't post but follow the debates and issues. I certainly don't agree with everything, but Ron Paul is by far the most honest candidate out there. I think December 16th will bring him back to the MSM big time, just in time for the votes. I have only given 11.11, so I have a bit of room to give some more.

So for sure, its working at least for this New Hampshirite.

Aaron Russo's "America: Freedom To Facsism".

I have know about and followed him, especially on CSPAN, as his floor speeches are always great.

I am estatic that he is running for President as he is the only one that I would vote for in this election.

In March saw Aaron Russo's "America: Freedom To Facsism" and was amazed that a sitting congressman would talk smack about the IRS. Then heard he was running for prez in April in an article I dont remenber.

The rest is history......

Ron Paul is often mentioned as the man fighting for our right to purchase vitamins, supplements, homeopathic remedies, etc.

This was a few months ago - his name stuck in my head. But it was before I realized he was running for President. It was the early days of the campaign I suppose. But I sealed his name in my heart and mind as someone to respect and be thankful for.

Then a few weeks ago my sister at the tail end of a phone conversation said something about "Ron Paul running for President" and I (shamefully) ran out the door to do errands, kind of shoving her sweet, conscientious, responsible comment to the back of my mind.

However, THANKFULLY, two weeks ago a co-worker started discussing Ron Paul with me - it all clicked, and I haven't stopped thinking/talking about Dr Paul since.

The moral is: don't ever think you may not be the "one" to help solidify Ron Paul and his message in someone's mind. They may not have heard about him yet, or, like me, they may have just been in the middle of something else ... and needed to be reminded of our HERO again.

*** God bless Ron Paul ***
* Ron Paul For President *

...a hard-core, old conservative republican. he said "ron paul says some good things" but also said "he doesn't have the political clout" that was six months ago and he's changing his tune ;-)

I first heard of him 2 years ago on a radio show called the "American Adivsor " hosted by Joe Battaglia. A radio program about investing in Gold and Silver.

I heard about him November 4th and donated my $100 on November 5th. At first I was reluctant to depart with my $100, but I realized I would probably spend it on booze anyways. So I chose freedom over booze.

I started seeing news about him on the front page of Digg during this past summer. I heard about his performance in one of the presidential debates in October, started thoroughly researching and started to get really excited about a politician for the first time ever. :)

Heard him in may and was hooked ever since Long live the ....................REVOLUTION!

I don't remember the year, but I saw Ron on TV saying it like it is and I sat down and started laughing so hard. I couldn't believe someone actually had the balls to say what he was saying. I have been a fan of his for a long time and hopefully for years to come. .
To me Ron could never lose at anything because he will always be a winner no matter what.

His mike goes dead and as it comes back on you can here Ron say:

"I think they finally cut me off".

hehe, the memory of that will stay with me till I die.

Ron reminds me of my grandpa, an honorable man, lived to be 99 years old.

That's why I am a ........ TAX BOMBER-----------BOOM!

Do it.

Was Neocon to July 11th 2007 to Worldnetdaily.com to Tom Cryer to court transcript to truthattack.org to associated sites to public library to Irwin Schiff to We The People to save a patriot to Lindsey Springer.

Then I said somebody needs to make a movie about this s***. Which led to Freedom to fascism. Aaron beat me to it! Ron Paul's name keep poping up. Looked at issues and at first it was hard for me. "The Disconnect Thing, Truth Overdose" Went to a meet up it was kinda lame (this one was). Still was sheepish on Ron watched more video's', speeches, looked deep at economic's, sold. Saw everyone's zeal on 5 November gave 2 x $125.00 im in for about $500.00 total having barely any money and never having given to any candidate. Now I hang signs in the middle of the night over I-95 to catch the N.Y. rush hour traffic.

Never have i felt more like a patriot then now.

from all your "crazy" comments on MSM articles. :) I thought to myself, ok, who's this Ron Paul guy. Well it didn't take long to read about individual liberty, the Constitution, free market economics, and ending the war. After that, I was in! It made too much sense!

I think I donated a few weeks later and am now a VIP MAX.

I was on the LP website and it listed him as one of their party's heroes. This was back in 2005.

My husband (to be) told me about him. About a year later, I began reading his articles on a regular basis.

"...it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security..."

I was apathetic about politics since 2004-2005... And this September, one of my favorite Christian musicians, Derek Webb, was playing in NYC on Bleecker St. I left work as early as I could that night and made it there. Among introducing a new song entitled Savior on Capitol Hill (as in "there's never been...") he spoke about how he's excited about the 2008 elections... and has been watching alot of Ron Paul videos. I looked up Ron Paul a week later - and this man blew me away, and scared me at the same time - the Ron Paul philosophy & movement opened my eyes to so much corruption and power-mongering and immoral stuff that happens in government that I was unaware of or otherwise apathetic towards.
I became a Ron Paul supporter.
