I was just wondering, who is everybody? Not like your names, but you know, who are you, what do you do, when did you start getting interested in politics, etc.

Software Developer and former teacher

who is hoping to return to teaching. 42 years old with a 10 year old daughter. I have always voted, though most of the time just felt like I was picking the lesser ot two evils. I voted for Perot. First time I saw Ron Paul was in the first Republican debate. I was hooked.

If anyone knows of a school that needs a math teacher somewhere near mountains......let me know.

Happy Camper

53, Married female, living in eastern PA. I'm an office manager for a construction equipment dealership. It's an exciting time to be a Pennsylvanian! Ron Paul has provided all the answers to the questions we've pondered around many campfires. One of the ah-ha moments I had was realizing that even if you pay off your mortgage, you don't really OWN your home---just try not paying the taxes! I've never been more thankfull to own our motorhome, complete with a generator. My 28 yr old son & I are heading to Gettysburg this Friday, and I've heard from other friends that our signs are EVERYWHERE in the Commonwealth!

artist/student in Chicago

I'm an art student at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago... I've always kinda liked politics, but Dr. Paul really fired me up and has laid the solid foundation for my political beliefs... so in that sense, he's kind of my hero, at least politically.

I'm originally from Colorado, and my heart is still in the mountains...

Live in the mountains

by a creek, gorgeous views. My husband retired as a BG for the guard; we spent a year at the War College in Carlisle, PA where RP will be speaking soon. Wonder how many WC students will be there to hear RP speak including the foreign Fellowship students. Hope they all show up.

One of those "young people"

Razorwind Studios is an official endorser of Ron Paul, and we will live free or die! 14th alternate to MN state!
----------------------------------------------------------------
Looks like I am the resident young person. I turned 19 on March 31 this year. I am in college, but I definately don't smoke pot. In fact, I have never even smoked a cigarette or had more than a sip of alcohol (can't stand the taste).

Ever since I first read our Constitution, I have been in love with what it represents. I found out from my dad that I was a Libertarian. I was never active in politics because I was always too young. Then, in early winter this year, my dad told me about this guy who ran for president for the Libertarian party, and how he held almost all of the same positions on the issues as I did. I sort of blew him off for a while, until one fateful day in very late January...

I was in my dorm room, and three people came and knocked on our door. They were canvasing for Ron Paul, and informed us about the rally before super tuesday. This sparked my curiosity and I started to look up his positions for myself, and I basically said OMGHCWTF this guy ROCKS! I attended the rally, and had to fight to hold back tears because I was so happy! I finally felt home... I was finally with people who felt the way I do, and it was truly awesome.

I went to the precinct caucus and became an alternate, then I went to the county convention and became an alternate. I couldn't get seated at the congressional district convention, though. I had to leave after an hour because I had a killer headache...

I watched the appropriate movies, and have been following the daily paul and the campaign website every day. I look forward to helping our rEVOLution as it keeps moving forward!

20 year old security guard

20 year old security guard in a small town in central PA. I was never really into politics, but i always had a little libertarian streak in me. I beleived the bush lies for some time but never really payed attention to it. Then a friend of mine told me to check out Ron Paul. The name stuck because he refered to him as Ron "Mutha F*ckin" Paul, and told me he was "the sh*t." I checked him out...and fell in love. I did the responsible thing and checked out ALL the other guys. Needless to say, I didnt find another one i liked.(cept maybe Kucinich, if he would keep his steriotypical overly-liberal gun grabbing tendencies to himself...)
I went through a stage of shock for some time(thank you "American- Freedom to Facism)...becoming more and more depressed as i found the truth.( The truth is pretty scary sometimes. )

Here i am...a full-on, in your face, go ahead and try to talk politics with me you F-ing socialist, (or Neocon) Ill rip you a new one, Ron Paul Republican

WOW! reading this makes me

WOW! reading this makes me wonder... It seems that most of us are 40 to 60! not the college kids that the press made Ron Pauls supporters out to be.. we are business owners and professionals! we are the ones who can think outside the box! I'm 44 , business owner.. I have been brought up with knowledge of economics and the role of gold and silver in a free society from my Grandfather who lived during the great depression as a young teenager. I was taught to prepare for the worst and hope for the best! I was introduced to the conspiracy theory of history at 16.. I know who the players are, and what they do! I love the Constitution! and every dang time when I'm at a Colorado Avalanche game , my eyes tear up as I listen to the national anthem! I voted for Ron Paul in 1988 as a young twenty something and will this year as a middle aged dude! I have 3 children and I drive my wife nuts! I love to come here to the daily Paul to exchange ideas and hopefully learn from others and I hope others learn from me.. Folks THIS IS IT! no matter who occupies the white house next january, this country is in for very hard times! they will make the great depression my grandfather lived threw look like party time! I only hope that we will be able to keep things together enough to reinstate our constitution and start over.. those who do not beleive we are in for a major depression/CHAOS are in denial and ignorant of history! they have not taken the time to read and study economics or social behaviors! time to prepare for yourselves and your family!

My Profile:

I am a 46 year-old father of 4, married and living in the burbs. I am a physician (anesthesiologist) currently working in a 300 bed suburban hospital in Maryland. I also do some supplemental work in a couple of surgical centers. I have been interested in politics for at least 25 years and for the first almost 20 years, I was a registered Republican but changed to Independent in 2003. This was due to my increasingly bitter view of GWB. I only changed back to Republican for the same reason many of us did, to vote for Dr. Paul. I have been a fan of Dr. Paul since the mid 1980's.My educational interests, other than medicine are economics, finance, common and UCC law, investing, real-estate, and various un-conventional subject matter such as UFO's, mytholgy vs. religion, chemtrails, etc. Enough said.

Small business owner

46 years old. I grew up in rural alabama farm country and still live there. On my sixth birthday I got a 5 dollar bill, I believe it might have been my first paper money. I went to the store, bought a candy bar & coke. I brought the goods back home, along with 4 one dollar bills and change. I told my father what a good deal I had gotten. I liked that shiney stuff better. I thought I had more money than I had left with. He explained how I was wrong and taught me also how money circulated. The store owner was selling for a profit. But he couldn't answer my next question. Who spent the first dollar or how does money get put into circulation. I tried for twenty years or so to get an answer to that question but never did so I forgot about it. I thought conservatively so I voted republican from Reagan thru Dole. Sometime in the late nineties I stumble across the book " The Secrets of The Federal Reserve" at a salvage goods store. I thumbed thru for several minutes and all those memories of long forgotten questions came back. I didn't have a computer at the time, didn't know how to turn one on. I finally got a hand me down computer. It took the internet to convince me this book was basically true and therefore voting was a waste of time. I sat out a few elections and then I found Ron Paul. And here I am.

Voted

Clinton, Bush, Bush...was I ever mistaken. Trying to figure out who in the heck I would vote for this year. Discovered Ron Paul and you know the rest.:)

gigione

40 never voted

Dislike our system and the money hungry bastards

60 here

I still can't believe that I turned that number! Live on a Ranch surrounded by mountains, never get tired of the view. I have 3 grown kids and I am married. Both of us work but my passion is being an artist. I have German Wirehaired pointer dogs and 5 horses which keep me busy. I have been interested in liberty and freedom all my life Ayn Rand etc. Avid upland and big game hunter, just enjoy the outdoors. Enjoy Daily Paul company. Keep up the good work!!
Look forward to winning in the Fall..

Physics teacher!

Fortune Favors the Bold

I am kind of a science nerd- Out of curiosity, which interpretation of the Copenhagen experiment do you favor? I'm sort of a Bohmian myself, although I like to speculate about a fusion between the Bohm and the Everett interpretation. If you're interested, i can elaborate.

Fortune Favors the Bold

I think I know what you talking about...

I'm certainly not a nuclear physicist, but if I had to bet I'd say that Bohr, in the end, will be shown to be wrong. The entire Copenhagen topic is bit much for my little brain but I favor the ideas of Carver Meade.

h-daddy

I agree with you about Bohr

Fortune Favors the Bold

I think Bohr was a genius, but like Einstein, drew incomplete interpretation based on available data. David Bohm (not the same person as Neihls Bohr) supports the holonomic universe model, based upon the non-locality properties of entangled quanta (and the mathematical completeness of fourier transforms to unify the discrepancies between quantam mechanics and relativity-very elegant!). I am not familiar with Carver Meade, but I will definetly look into him!

The Holographic Universe

Great book. The possibility, the concept of alternate universes is mind boggling though utterly amazing if ever proven. The show Sliders comes to mind.

47 Year old

Married male, reside just outside Columbus Oh. High School dropout who joined the Air Force during my junior year. I am a former ASE Master Tech in the auto industry. Was raised in a body shop. Now in the chemical industry, making fluorine gas for use in plastics enhancement. I have always followed politics due to my love of reading and history. I have an independent streak a mile wide and try to be self sufficient.

It's a pleasure

to meet you all. German native single female here living in beautiful Washington State. I seeked knowledge since I was 17, studied all major religions for 20 years and learned the real history a few years ago. I knew I had a mission, a purpose and I had to find it. The journey took me to spiritual enlightenment through much sorrow and introspection.
This is the most exciting time in history, when evil will be conquered and light prevails. Each of us truthseekers are on this journey in various degrees. You chose to learn the truth, freedom and peace. I applaud you!

Choosing freedom

How nice to hear about yourselves. I'm 58 remodeler, self employed. Father mathmatician took me to John Birch meetings as a teenager. High school and college runner dropped out and learned to paint houses in Southern Calif. Never was much into volunteering frn's to a war machine. So I learned many trades and worked for cash. The day of 911 I started telling anybody that would listen that we would never see Bin Laden. I have been a professional disc golfer and a racing cyclist into my fifties still very competitive with 30 year old racers in Austin Tx. I trust Energetic medicine with my EPFX and natural health. Live in a small town now two hours from Austin. I'm not afraid to use my hearsay name because I've died before and there is nothing to fear. You all have got me more exited than I've been in years. I do think the tide is turning. Some day when I slow down I'll write about my life. My wife says you'd like it. Peace, Larry a_Mann

with undergraduate degrees in international relations and religion, and a graduate degree in international political economy. I was going to go for my phd in international political economy, but became depressed studying the way the world is run. Now, I make small sculptures and jewelry mostly out of sterling silver, and am much happier for it.

Pleasantville, Ron Paul & BE the People

51 year old child of God, wife, mother, grandmother & a friend of anyone real. I never could stand fluff and plastic. Was raised as a military dependant, had a great hands on life experience all over this beautiful world that I wouldn't trade for anything.

Was taught to obey authority without question & we were very loyal to our country. Sir! Yes SIR! How high do I jump Sir! Fortunately there was something IN me that just couldn't continue to play that game. I began to question ALL authority and to expose the false authority figures of which there is pretty much no end of.

Used to think you sent your kids off to school & teachers educated them. Along the way I figured out it was up to me so I homeschooled them and we learned together. I taught them to question authority too.

I saw early on that politics was corrupt and evil. If you honestly look you will see that to even be in the place of getting elected to be president you had to have already sold your soul.

I tried the organized church deal for way too long and saw the same corruption within the very people who screamed holy the loudest. The last straw for me came when people withIN the church voted Dubya into office thinking he was like the 2nd coming answer... I saw thru him and couldn't understand how others didn't see what I saw. Figured out it was up to me to get to know God.

Huge awakening in me was thru the movie "Pleasantville", weird as it sounds, that movie spoke to me and still does on so many levels.
Truth brings color, liberty, freedom and life.

Saw a Ron Paul youtube a few years back & thought he was an honest & fresh breath of air. The words he said were REAL & there was power in that. When I heard he was running for president I jumped in head first. From the beginning I knew this was about the message more than the man.

Walked into my first RP meetup to hear someone (the leader) complaining about headquarters blaaah blaaah.... I looked at him square in the eye and said, excuse me! What happened to "WE the PEOPLE"!
Part of what I adore about Ron Paul is the empowerment of the people.
Dr Paul teaches us to "BE the people"

I love the community of DP, it's like a family in many ways. Being one who seldom fit in anywhere it's great to read posts from people who are so much like me.. and man, there are some bright peeps who have done their research... I've learned so much here. Go Team Ron Paul!

You forgot

SISTER :(

" Single acts of tyranny may be ascribed to the accidental opinion of they day; but a series of oppresssions...pursued unalterably, through every change of ministers, too plainly proove delibrate, systematical plan of reducing us to slavery..."
Tho

Awww I could never forget about you...

Here's to SISTERS!!! And shouldn't you be plantin your letus hehehe

We are

Kindred Spirits, as Anne of Green Gables would say! I had to laugh about your reference to Pleasantville. I also saw a movie with Jim Carrey called the Truman show where he was the star of a tv reality show and didn't know it----everything was pretend!
I homeschooled my kids when homeschooling wasn't cool--got into some verbal battles with local school districts and won.
I agree with this statement you made: "I tried the organized church deal for way too long and saw the same corruption within the very people who screamed holy the loudest" Some of the worst problems are caused by people like this, and there are some in every church, but for the most part there are good Christian people in churches, but they are the ones who aren't tooting their own horn. They pray in their closet, as the Lord tells us to do.
