Courage
I just attended the Colorado 4th Congressional District Convention today. And while we did not win any of the 3 delegate slots, I was very encouraged by what I saw there.
There were many of the "Old Guard" supporters in that room. It happens to be Colorado's biggest district and it has a lot of Republicans in it. There were a lot of "we have to support McCain because he is the nominee..." crowd in that room. They were all of the mindset that "we have to beat the Democrats..." regardless of whether we put evil in the White House or not.
However, as can happen in any darkness, there were pinpoints of light that were shining through.
Carl Bruining, long a coordinator for the campaign in Colorado, got up and gave a strong speech about the Constitution, his service in the military and his support of our candidate. Carl has been at the forefront of this fight since summer 2007. Another person who was running as a delegate stood up and used the opportunity to call Republicans accountable for their poor decision in anointing the liberal in conservative clothing, McCain. He had to be removed from the microphone. One stood up and announced that he would never vote to nominate anyone who removed freedom of speech in the form of McCain/Feingold, or supported blanket amnesty. In fact, he would only vote for Dr. Paul and no other. Finally, one man boldly attempted to run against Congresswoman Musgrave for her seat in the house of Representatives. He was running as a Ron Paul Republican.
When it seems darkest, that is when the light will shine brightest.
Revolutionaries - Keep up the fight for liberty! We are in a unique position. Even if we do not win the election, we are winning the war. Did anyone ever think that there would be people running as Ron Paul Republicans? Dan Cochran, Murray Sabrin, Carl Bunce, Dan Douglas, George Lily, Ted Brown...the list goes on! We can support these folks as they go into the cesspool that has been our federal government, and they can help us to clean it up.
I still have hope, real hope, for this nation. I see this Revolution reaching across our nation and waking up those who sleep. I see a hope for my future children. If this is to come true though, we have to keep up our R3volution growing. Whether we shock the world with the greatest political upset in history, or we take our country back inch by inch, candidate by candidate...we need to persevere.
It takes courage to get up in front of three hundred strangers and tell them your convictions, even though they are not popular. It takes even more to get up and tell the truth to those who wish to stay in darkness. You have all demonstrated profound courage in the face of adversity. I want to simply encourage you to never stop.
Until Our Nation is Won!

Ron Paul - Lion of the Constitution





















This is a fantastic message...I agree...
Chaplain Steve:
I believe that in 2012 we will see something interesting...people will look back to Ron Paul's writings...his latest book, etc...and I do smell a form of "Death" in 2-3 years to the NeoCONS!
This same Carl Bruining recently at a local Colorado GOP Woman's function was told to sit down, shut up or he would be escorted out the restaurant doors....since there was a pro-McCain supporter speaking about this turkey...their motto is never challenge anyone.
The one that told Carl this was the president of this Woman's group...
A Fellow Ron Paul Supporter wrote about this in a local newspaper...
"Dear Editor,
I was invited to a Longmont Republican Women's breakfast at Terroir's recently, where Mary Daubman, from John McCain's campaign, was the keynote speaker. I don't support John McCain, but I assumed I'd be welcome, since I figured they wouldn't be just "singing to the choir", as there are still a lot of undecideds.
The president introduced different individuals attending and allowed them to speak. But when she acknowledged Carl Bruning, a spokesman from the Ron Paul campaign, the introduction was rushed, and when he started to speak like the others had been invited to do, she firmly told him to "No! Sit down!" She sounded like an elementary teacher addressing a problem child.
After my initial shock, I tuned in to the speaker and felt like I was being read a bedtime story, about feats of some magnificent hero. But I know from research that there was a lot more she was not telling. I wanted to ask, "Can anyone give me a candidate that is genuine, that doesn't double-talk, and that respects our Constitution without apology?" But before I was able, Carl Bruning respectfully raised his hand. After being ignored, his friend raised his own hand, and when chosen, turned his opportunity over for Carl to speak. When Carl spoke about his disappointment in the manner Ron Paul's representatives are being treat ed by the Republican Party, he was told again to "Sit down, that is enough!" and even threatened with removal.
What is going on in this Party? And why aren't the people at this meeting thinking for themselves? I would challenge every person there that witnessed such abominable behaviour to do better research on the candidates. To seek a candidate who doesn't endorse such tactics, and to read the Constitution to find out what we're losing at an alarming rate! We don't want a candidate that says what we want to hear, only to change it for another audience. Check out what John McCain is currently saying. What kind of Republican are we voting for; as you see, there are now two kinds! "
Meantime...keep studing the Constitution, get ahold of "The Federalist Papers, and Anti-Federalist Papers"....don't stop educating others about freedom...we now have the equipment...let's use them!
Sincerely,
Charlesn of Northern Colorado and a Ron Paul Supporter!
Sincerely,
Charles T. Neighbors
Now imagine the good doctor being the lone voice in Congress
or in the debates...getting the ridicule, the smirks, the "go tilt a windmill" looks. Courage is putting your job on hold, facing the odds, and shaking off the naysayers...and still run for Congress. Here is my meetup leader in Saratoga county, NY who is walking the walk and was just endorsed by Dr. Paul.
Presidential Candidate and New York Times Best-Selling Author, Congressman Ron Paul, has endorsed Steven Vasquez for Congress in the NY 21st District, which includes Albany, Schenectady, Schohaire, and Montgomery counties and parts of Rensselaer (Troy), Saratoga (Waterford), and Fulton (Gloversville) counties. Steven has been one of the leaders in Ron Paul's grassroots campaign in the Capital Region, and is now continuing the movement to restore responsible government by running for Congress.

Thank you for the Support!
Your words ring so true in so many people's minds right now. We have a chance to really make a change in this country. We are not using money or fear to accomplish it. We are using common sense and the basic ideas that our country was founded on to draw support for our message.
The best part of our message is once it takes hold of you, you will never lose it! You can not just go turn on FOX NEWS and go back to living your life as you did before. You now have an inner drive to make this country better for our future generations so they have something to be proud of. When I think about the mess we are leaving my son, it pains me. The main reason I am running for congress in for my son, it may be a bit selfish. But I feel that while I am helping his future, I am helping everyone else's children as well. I will not leave my child a socialist empire where he is told how to live. I am going to help restore the prosperity of this country, I am going to eliminate the IRS, FED, Homeland Security, and every other institution not authorized directly in the Constitution.
We have strayed far off course, and it will be a rough road back to constitutional sanity, but we can do it together!

I too was disappointed at
I too was disappointed at today's 4th..But I would have to agree..that we are NEW ...they will agree once they hear it all...They have just been brainwashed...just like some of us were.
Please don't give up. I see 2010 as a great election year for Senators that we wish to support in Ron Paul principles.
I do think they are quite scared of us still. They want ALL control..and they are not getting it. There is still a chance he could win..
Thanks for all the support last night. I did it!! I spoke!!

good job!
2008 should be a good year for Ron Paul Republicans/ and similarly minded candidates, 2010 should be better.
In your own Congressional District
it is important to support for the person running for Congress that stands for Constitutional princples this election year. If there is no one this year, then get ready for 2010 to find and promote someone who will.

Great job and great post.
Great job and great post. One person at a time! Hopefully some of the old guard will start to question what the party has become and even help get it back to being conservative!
Very very nice.
Thank you.
Great Post
We must keep fighting. Thanks for the uplifting message.
This is good to hear.
I'm glad Paul Supporters had time at least to speak the truth and try to make people understand the constitution. The Revolution continues.

Truth is beauty, and your words are beautiful.
A person has Courage when he overcomes his fears to do what is right.
Ron Paul has shown us what is right, and now we must gather the courage to spread the word.

Deaconblues911...great post!
Some are very discouraged and your post will help give them the courage! I feel we have come so far that I celebrate every day and waken with an excitement for our Revolution! Thank you for a wonderful inspiring first hand account!
I have a thought I keep close to my heart every day ..

I truly want to give each and
every one of you a long, strong hug. You are my friends, my brothers and sisters, my parents and my children. You are fighting for me, and I for you. We have never met physically yet we are connected none the less. There is no turning back, and discouragement has become that little poke in the side that make me giggle and say, 'stop that you silly goose, I'm trying to pay attention'.
