"But you won't give up, right daddy?"

0 votes

I met my wife and four homeschooled kids for lunch today at a local china buffet. I have been a little blue today at the ignorance of the voters across our country in not supporting a strict constitutionalist in Ron Paul.

My wife asked, "Do you think other people are depressed today too?"
I responded, "I think many are."

My 8 year old girl was listening and she looked at me with a dead serious someone-might-just-die look on her face and asked, "Do you think they will give up and not vote for Ron Paul."

I stared at her for a few seconds and replied, "I hope not."
To which she replied,"But you won't give up, right daddy?"

Fighting back tears I said, "No honey, we're not giving up"

Our children are counting on us. This is bigger than a presidential campaign. This is bigger than one man. This is a struggle for the truth. The truth about History, The truth about the Present, The truth about the Future, the Truth about War and Power and Goverment and Freedom.

And I'm in this fight for the rest of my life.

For Truth,

My son...

8 years-old, and homeschooled as well, made a similar statement to me: "Ron Paul isn't going to give up, is he?" Holding back tears myself, I told him that true patriots DO NOT give up on LIBERTY.

He said, "Good." It actually made him feel better. It's amazing how this revolution is not only changing us, but also how our children perceive our country, and the world.

We'll go to the store, and my son will tell the cashier with a straight and honest face that the dollars aren't really dollars, they are notes or bills of credit made out of pieces a of paper. "They are really only worth 4 cents," he'll say to the cashier. Clueless cashier will smile ingorantly without any understanding of what he means.

If our children are so BOLD for honesty and LIBERTY in government, so we must be also. It's for their future that we fight on!!

There is a lot of hope left in this campaign

But there is even more in the revolution. Ron may be dead by the time my kids can vote but remember proverbs: train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it.

I feel the same way...

My kids ask me everyday how the election is going...infact, in school my daughter does this project called "TIME for kids" where they get a kid version of TIME magazine and report on current events. A few weeks ago they covered the election and had pictures of Mc, Rom, Huck, Ghoul, and Thomp...but not Paul. My daughter actually got made fun of for pointing out that Paul was missing.

I can't quit this, no matter what the outcome....this is a fight that actually never ends. We're really in this mess because we got lazy and stopped watching and caring about what was going on. I can never go back to that, and have to set the example for my kids.

PS...I'm a PA person myself....good to know that we have people in our state that will stick it through. =)

I am with you!

"Might does not make right"

Best thread of the day....

Thanks so much for sharing. I had to quit crying before I could type. I believe we're all heartbroken. Some show it through anger, some through sadness. Either way we have to capture the emotions and make them work to our advantage. Are you broken? Are you angry? Are you demoralized? Remember what it feels like and do all you can to not feel like that again!

thank you so much

I have shared all your thoughts with my daughter and it has encouraged us both. Thanks so much.

Here in Minneapolis/St.Paul...

...we're just warming up!

Giving up is not an option!

It's a long road until the September convention.
People still have time to wake up from hibernation!

We have 7 months to prepare a welcome party for all those delegates!
The democrats are going to try and screw things up during the GOP convention.
Let's give them a big surprise!

It's going to be a Ron Paul Convention! Outside & inside!

If you have the time, volunteer at convention : http://www.gopconvention.com/volunteers/default.aspx

Run Ron, Run!

Nice

Very Nice. Thanks

Great subject....Our Children.....

My five year old Daughter has aked several times, Daddy are you done playing with Ron Paul today, I want to play with you to. And I have to tell her that if I dont play with Ron Paul right now, I may not be able to play with you later. Sad I feel that way, but I my Grandchildren will never be able to say Grandpa didnt try to keep us free.

My 8-year old is more informed than her third grade teacher

Thank you for your wonderful story! Made me cry, too. Not only are we fighting for freedom, but we need to take very seriously our job of raising the future generation of patriots!
My 8-year old daughter's third grade teacher did a section on the presidential election yesterday - Democrats, Republicans, sample ballots, etc. All well and good. Teach them to be responsible citizens. She talked about the Democrat & Republican cadidates (without a mention of Paul). My daughter proudly raised her hand to say that Ron Paul was also one of the Repubicans running. The teacher then said, "Oh ya, but I'd never vote for him." Needless to say, I was floored, but my daughter wasn't. "She's probably voting for that mean McCain guy. We know Ron Paul is the best," she said.
So teach your children well, for they are the future. And keep in mind they learn best by example. Fight on!

I'm not giving up

I have two boys I'm raising and there is no way I'm going to give them anything less than freedom. I've already started with no tv for them, they have to play all day with their toys :) My 4 year old has already built really cool space ships and airplanes with some of his building toys. I don't want to see his creativity lost, and I don't want him stifled. He already asks why Grandma, grandpa, and papa have to work so much. He wants to vote for Ron Paul too :) I'm not letting him or any other kid down by giving up this fight too soon. I'm in until we have our country back and the traitors sitting in jail,

wow

good stuff

Does my burka make my butt look fatwa?

Wow

that brought a tear to my eyes. out of the mouth of babes. this is a long term fight folks, we must never give up. the revolution must continue for our children and grandchildren. vote out the war mongers, support Ron Paul republicans, look them up and donate now.

I'll donate $100 for that ($25 for each of your kids!)

Wow... great story... my 4 year old twin girls walk around the screaming "Ron Paul to be the President!" all day... I've been trying to stay pumped up all day and your story just did it! THANKS!!!

Folks... he's right... this is a LIFELONG FIGHT!!! FOR OUR KIDS!!!!

"Whether you think you can or think you cannot, you're absolutely right!"

"Whether you think you can or think you cannot, you're absolutely right!"

This Touches My Heart...

Our daughter is the one who first told us about Ron Paul. She told us to watch "Ron Pau:Stop Dreaming" and also "America: Freedom to Facism".

After we watched these videos, our eyes opened for the first time towards "politics". We have never been involved in "politics" before. We finally found someone we could believe in and believe in his message.

We still want Ron Paul to some how, some way become our next President, not just for us but for the future of our daughter (and for her children some day). We will not stop fighting for liberty either. Even if we are all "down" right now (emotionally), we all need to continue to tell others about Ron Paul and continue the "Revolution".

Ron Paul for President 2008 !!!

I second that motion!

What brilliantly enlightened child you have. Thank you for raising and educating your child to the best of your ability in the virtues of individual freedom and liberty that this nation is founded upon. Thank you. She and all other children like her remind us, truly what is at stake.

Thank you for sharing that important personal story, and a lesson for all of us to share and follow, and be inspired by it. Thanks again.

WE WILL NEVER GIVE UP on the Constitution and the founding principles of America.

The Doctor has fought, and been bruised, against the slings and arrows of outrageous collectivists from both socialist and fascist/corporatist realms for 30yrs without anyone backing him in Congress. How must he feel, once we decide to give up, only after one day, of one measly skirmish, without fully educating ourselves on the reality of delegates and brokered convention process? I believe his granddaughters in the latest radio interview, when they say that one very important lesson and impression he has made upon them, is to never give up. Never quit, without seeing it through. And his official campaign HQ's message is the same. Delegates, delegates, delegates. Brokered convention, brokered convention, brokered convention. We should be wise to listen and instead of drowning in ourselves in sorrow. We should strategize based on that plan, the end goal of making it to the convention. Remember, without a 51% majority and after first round of votes at the election without a majority, the delegates are free to elect WHOMEVER.

WE HAVE THE BEST CHANCE at restoring our long lost rights, freedoms, and liberties, more so than any other time in modern history, since the downward spiral that the nation's first recorded neoCON, Woodrow Wilson, put us on.

Dr. Ron Paul has stood alone for 30yrs. The least we can do is spend a bit of our lives fighting to ensure that the next generation of Americans have the tools and educated judgment to restore the Constitution, for the next 30yrs, and the next 231yrs, and more. After all that we have accomplished in the last year, it'd be foolish and utterly arrogant of us, without any respect for certain amount of due diligence required and derived patience from it, which clearly, history asserts that these things do take time.

Lest we forget how brilliant and prescient our Good Doctor has been throughout his life, I'd like to share with you the following. It's off of LewRockwell.com. I wish there's a long lost CSPAN broadcast of this speech. It is the most single handedly succinct treatise on the state of the world in one speech. Describing America in historical and Constitutional context, in ONE, single page. Okay, one hearty page. Probably one of the best speeches I've ever read that strikes at the heart of reality.

Ron Paul, on the House Floor, a farewell address: Sept 19, 1984.
" Some Observations on Four Terms in Congress"
http://www.lewrockwell.com/paul/paul433.html

Please share and spread those important words, far and wide.

We forge ahead. Become delegates wherever you can, wherever the state rules allow. WE WILL BE AT THE CONVENTION. We still have a very strong chance of winning GOP nomination. Let us focus on the end goal. The eye on the real Prize, is nothing less than the full restoration of our Constitutional Republic, back to her glory.
