The Campaign of Miracles
.
What we have seen since June is a series of miracles that have propelled Ron Paul forward; from zero to a top-tier contender. Yes, the message of freedom is popular and that is what has stirred and motivated millions of supporters. But there is more to it: there is an unseen spark that brings a new animation, a spark which is quite unlike anything I have experienced; and which the other candidates' supporters do not share.
Miracles are spiritual blessings, or grace, or a manifestation of something wonderful during a time of anxiety or uncertainty. It is the sudden rain falling on parched earth.
I am not suggesting that an "act of God" has suddenly propelled Ron Paul forward. But, instead, some manifestation of spirit that has illumined millions of people to write checks, form groups, attend rallies, make videos, write songs and do other things to help save our Republic. We have seen millions of people (including me) who had never previously cared much about politics or even the political process, sparked by something. Ron Paul and his message have planted the seeds of possibilities that something wonderful can happen. And, the universe, in its kind way, has supported us and has provided unique and wonderful affirmations of our efforts.
If we look back to June, back to the Iowans for Tax Relief Forum, we can chart significant moments of progress, or breakthroughs, all along the way. There have been significant rallies, straw poll victories, electrifying moments in the TV Republican debates, avalanches of cash, and countless other occurrences which suggest that there is more to the Ron Paul campaign than we mortals can perceive or comprehend. It is, to me, awe-inspiring and affirming. To be part of this inspired initiative is, for me, a humbling and energizing experience.

Why Ron Paul is the next president of the USA
Because it is also to the advantage of the elite: they have always known that the paper money fraud would one day end; they now own most of the gold; and, they know that if they took out RP, like they did JFK, that there would be more then one hundred Timothy McVeys. They are not dumb. They are short the USD$. They will accept the results of the popular vote and some of them will climb onto the RP express.
Yes!!
The Message has been around for awhile. As a whole, our country has shifted its consciousness embracing Ron Paul as our leader. The Founding fathers were enlightened when writing the constitution and the pendellum has swung back and forth throughout American history. I think that G.W. and his Wars have created a space for this to happen in a way. More importantly, we have not punched back with Force...
What is different that I'm seeing is instead of an Opposite force against bush, I'm seeing a power of truth driving this campaign. People are at a different level of awareness and this country is going to be lifted to a never before seen level of enlightenment and existance.
Pure Physics, Force is always equaled with an opposite force. Power is from within. A source of nothingness. No-thing. Empty and meaningless. This is a new way of being, now entering on a National level. Power will beat force everytime. Stand strong.
"Magic is Afoot: God is Alive" [Buffy Sainte-Marie]
I agree with you, Zenpiper. Something wondrous is happening. Ron Paul has been saying these things for years--decades even-- but only now are they suddenly resonating with the public.
Go Ron Paul! May The Force be with you.

After years of embarrassment...
After years of embarrassment on the international front with Dubya as "the Decider," imagine President Ron Paul meeting world leaders such as Putin, Merkel, Sarkozy, Chavez, Brown, etc. and not having to squirm in your seat while witnessing the interaction. The disdain on Putin's face alone when dealing with the current holder of "the highest office in the land" is priceless.
I'm tired of being embarrassed by the persons elected to lead the US. It's time to restore dignity to the office of president and neither Billary nor Julie-Annie are in a position to do so. I'm tired of rhetoric-spouting robots presented as the only choice. Gore actually looked like an android, making even The Doofus look better in comparison.

Miracle 11.10.07
We Took Back Independence Mall 11.10.07

On Thursday Nov 1, the Ron Paul campaign had to change the location of a planned Veteran's Day rally to be held Saturday Nov 10th on Independence Mall in Philadelphia.
The city and National Parks Dept. had thrown up a road block $184,000 in fees to use the Mall for 3 hours. The new venue would be the Valley Forge Convention Center.
'God-incidentally', my wife and I were scheduled months earlier to attend a Sports Hall of Fame Induction event for one of our 80 year old uncles the weekend before the rally (Nov 3) in Philadelphia.
As part of our group time we were included in a tour of the Independence Mall with about 50 of the 400 other Hall of Fame Dinner attendees Saturday morning. The only reason my wife and I went was to accompany my 82 year old mother-in-law. She wanted to see her brother's induction. We didn't want her to fly alone.
We flew into Philly from Pittsburgh Friday.
On Saturday I DID NOT WANT TO GO ON SOME TOUR Bus!
Saturday morning before breakfast, God says to me, "I just want you to go and see what I am about to do...just put your foot on that place." So Karen and I went on the tour. As we were walking around Independence Hall, I was so filled with awe with the history as our tour guide educated us. I looked at that birthplace of America -- the first nation born in freedom and independence from any earthly king -- and I began to weep and pray. I said, "God we need to have a rally here someday!" Not thinking it would be THIS month.
Later that evening, after the sports banquet, I used the hotel's computer room to check email. There was a message saying that the Ron Paul Rally would be held on the MALL! The original plan was restored.
How's this for a miracle ...
After 4 months of some subtle campaigning (and some not so subtle), I have convinced every single person (nine of us) in my lab at work to hop on board the Ron Paul freedom train. As much as I'd like to take credit for this, the truth is Dr. Paul really sells himself. My only real input was to get some of them to listen.
What makes this so astounding is the total diversity of political views we all have. Amongst us there's a libertarian (me), an enviromentalist, an atheist hedonist, an African American liberal, a backwoods country hick, two non-political apathetic young kids, an abrasive anarchist, and even (hold onto your hat) a neo-con!! The neo-con, as you might have guessed, was the last hold-out, but he is totally sold now. He even donated on November 5th.
If this is not a perfect demonstration of the unifying power of freedom, then I don't know what is. I feel compelled to note what a wonderful rebuttal this real life scenario presents when offered up as a counter to Huckabee's ridiculous accusation, during one of the debates, that Dr. Paul's views were driving us to become the "Divided" States of America.
I take my marching orders from the Constitution!
George W. Bush gets the credit
I think much of what we see propelling the Paul campaign is REACTION. People are finally getting ashamed and disgusted and alarmed at what has taken place in the last few administrations. Think of it, the first administration that advocated TORTURE. As one lady put it, "I want to be proud to be an American again."
This is not to discount the positive part of all of this and of Ron Paul himself, but reaction has to be a huge factor. Could Paul have gotten this kind of traction if JFK or Reagan was the current president? Seems unlikely...
Why
Yes, why the upsurge. We are surprised to see so many awake Americans. I see it as partly the unfiltered information on the Internet, something mainstream media listeners don't get and so I wonder if those without a computer will get it at all. Also, there is a world wide awakening because truths in every area are coming out or even just everyone seeing how leaders in every area are as if asleep, brainwashed, indoctrinated or all the above, having never been taught how to think, but only what to think. How could you get the average person to believe that about their neighbors let alone about themselves.
In fact there is a way to wake up. Science is finding that genius is just the rampant unabaited use of the intuition. A simple way is to use only positive non-judgmental words. Although the language of the mind is pictures, images, symbols and the like, it responds to an unbiased, nonjudmental, objective conscius mind.
Just thought I would mention that. Couldn't the whole ingeniusly run campaign use even more genius. I was glad to get it. luv hbar12
What, me worry?
Rupert Sheldrake
.
Rupert is a well-known scientist who coined the term "morphogenic resonance." What this means is that, within an animal species, if one group of, say, geese, begin to do something novel and positive, other geese - thousands of miles away - will "pick up" on the behavior and incorporate it into their behavior patterns.
When consciousness is affected in a large way, such as the Ron Paul Revolution, it affects the rest of the population, though perhaps not as quickly or as easily as with geese. A seed (or spark) gets planted and - somehow - there is transference to others. Despite Rupert's observation, no one can explain exactly how or why it works: but it does.
One explanation is that there is only one "mind." Our individual minds are part of a larger whole. Thoughts and emotions are energy and, as such, can be shared in some way. Again, this is unmeasurable scientifically, but can be observed. We are seeing it in this campaign and it is unique and affirming.

Thanks to GW
Yep,when it's 'in the field',it makes it easier for everyone else to access,as well.
And it is true as another post said-it is in part reaction.
So we can thank GW for doing his part to stir action.
But the reaction is only the first step. RP is helping out as he said 'by turning on the switch'. Personal liberty takes on it's own appeal,once one has made that decision,which I think it happening in hearty doses among people in this campaign and growing!
An apology to Dr. Paul
Dr. Paul,
I am sorry you had to shoulder the load alone for 30 years. I repent for my apathy for my country. I have been self centered, seeking out what the government could do for or give me. No more. It is time to give back, to take back. I just paid off my donations for November 5th. I am well prepared for the tea party. I always read my American history books with awe. I always wondered what it would be like to actually make a difference. Now is the time. This is the American peoples chance to do this without violence. We must unite and we must act. Let us deal with the treasonous, fire the bureaucrats, and lock up the law breakers.
We will carry you on our shoulders from here. Thank you.
Chris
I Agree I have not done my part either... but that ends now!
I now think of myself as a citizen. My goal even more that just getting Dr. Paul elected is to get people thinking. Stop voting for pretty faces, start looking at substance. Most of the people I know; have no idea what any of the candidates stand for, they just kind of ebb and flow with the media and then pick the one their parents taught them was the right choice or even worse they try to pick a “winner”.
I explained to a woman that Hillary had no intention to take us out of Iraq until 2013. You should have seen the look on her face. In her mind that was one of the reasons to vote for Hillary was to get us out. Big shock for her No shock for me.
A Citizen reborn,
Thank the creator my rights are inalienable, because in many ways I have not earned them in the past 20 years… but I will.
I am only one.
I havn't earned my freedom either, Not anymore I'm tired of sitting by watching this great country go down the drain of big government! I am now a freedom fighter! I will stand to the end for the truth! they can take my land or my life, I will never be silent again! I will be a thorn in the side of oppresion!
I am only one, but I am one. Because I am one I cannot do everything, but I can do something. Because I cannot do everything I should not refuse to do the something I can do. What I can do I should do. And what I should do by the grace of God I will do!- Edward Hale
This is my new motto. I will not be silent anymore. I will be involved in the fight to preserve our freedom. You can count on me. I'm in. No matter what. I am the people... RIDE RON PAUL!!! RIDE!!!!
Give me liberty or give me death.
Way cool

"He ain't heavy, he's my hero."
Negative words.
Switching to positive words changes all out thoughts, not just dozens or even hundreds of thoughts that we might change consciously. The super quantum computer subconscious mind is not concerned with past conscious miscalculations as it knows we love to make them. It is gracious enough not even to see them. Only we and our 'friends' are counting so don't you. Unless that will help donations. No, honestly, donate because you have been set free, no matter how the campaign comes out, each campaign and each one of us will be better from now on forever, unless the 1 percent gets more active and no one's left for the next election. luv hbar12
What, me worry?
I am behind you and support a LOVE Revolution.....
Ron Paul doesn't just defend the Constitution. Dr. Ron Paul is the Champion of the Constitution. Now that proclamation really moves me. The people who are embedded in negativity will automatically fear a change of environment because they remain comfortable in hatred, conflict and oppression. Some people may feel terrorized when faced with a ground swell of enlightened people embracing a different message of what the government can be.
This does not have to be a natural and permanent state of being. Some will see the light sooner than others but the message from Dr Paul is truth, civil liberties, Freedom and the resurgence of the American founding principles. This message is contagious and rapidly spreading over a majority of people. The Ron Paul revolution is not one of bombs, threats, fear or terror it is a revolution within our hearts, minds and a sound resolution for these principles and the U.S.Constitution.
Bump
ditto
Well said
I also realize that I am complicit in allowing this nation to head down the wrong path through rampant apathy. Now is the time to correct this mistake. "If the diagnosis is wrong, change the treatment." I have never been politically active before, but now I think this may be my last time to make a difference.
With trepidation, I prepare to visit my neighbors with a political message. Will they laugh at me? Will they turn away in disgust? How can I make them see how important Dr. Paul and his message truly is?
I don't know the answer to these questions, but I know I must move forward to allow as many people as possible to feel the magic of the message. Finally, there is hope. Finally, there is motivation. Finally there is a leader, the brave Dr. Paul, who has steadfastly carried his message to all who would listen for 30 years. And finally there are the people, you people, standing up for what is right and just!!
November 5th was huge, but December 16th is going to blow their socks off! I will be donating at least $500 on 12/16.
We must all choose our own way. I now know what mine is. And no one will ever again be able to say I did nothing.

Amazing
We the people have changed Ron Paul from a virtually unknown man to a likely president. I'm glad to be a part but our fight is not over yet. We must continue our struggle to regain freedom.

OH,it would be awesome if someone ran with that-for a video or ad or fundraising effort?
just awesome!!!
Any takers?
Luck

Yes I believe it is just that
An act of God. Yes I believe it is just that. A blessing not only that we have Ron Paul as a leader of integrity. We have had this leader for decades.
What has changed? We the people have changed and we have our Father in heaven to thank for this. We need not ever feel the need to shrink back from praising our God in whom we trust.

Divine Providence
In the Declaration of Independence, it says as the last line:
And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.
Do the right thing and depend on the Lord to open doors, or at least unlock them.
Divine Providence is merely the name for the series of subtle miracles that don't seem very significant at each stage - and even the trials, imagine if they HAD invited Ron Paul to the Iowa Candidate's forum - but add up to something clearly beyond any chance, any probability.
Another example might be St. Joan of Arc.
When something is within God's will and man's, he will lighten the path, but I would note that it was many years of grueling battles, unappreciated sacrifices, and much hardship before we won independence - and then we had too much and were not unified until the constitution.
I have no doubts we can restore the republic. If we want it more than anything else.
devoting my Christmas break
I'm going to devote my 5 weeks off of school during Christmas break to Ron Paul
The spark
It is the all-spark!!!!
Ron Paul supporters, more than meets the eyes!!!!
lol
There is faith
With faith a man can say unto the mountain "be rooted up and cast into the sea." The mountain/obstacle of the enslaving establishment has been spoken to.
Here is the difference, and thus, the reason Ron will win
Politics and personal ego have a strong link. The difference is that Paul has never "sold himself", rather “ideas” that he fundamentally agrees have a United States Constitutional basis. He's a proven and superior specimen when it comes to integrity and strict constitutional interpretation, and we respect him greatly for it. The proof is obvious against all other presidential candidates: they tend to go on and on about how they will save the Earth from spinning of its axis and crash into Jupiter by spending more and more tax payer money...all while ignoring philosophical flaws in our foreign policy, central fiat money bank, or blatant desecration of the US constitution.
Ron Paul tows the line, and gives us a chance to return to our roots: government is not the answer to all of our problems (and is the cause of some). Ron Paul does not prostitute himself (thank God), his colleagues could learn a lot from this. Ron Paul is representing the one of the most fundamentally American platforms since the days of Jefferson: the philosophy and ideas of our founding fathers. The founding fathers understood empires and history well: nothing lasts forever, and it repeats itself. Ditto Ron Paul. And our teetering money, flawed foreign policy, and constitutional betrayal seem to be timely with a proven candidate that is selling the most powerful platform in 2 centuries: the ideas and philosophy of a constitutional republic....if we can keep it.
"Presentation" vs. "Passion"
As I listen to the other candidates, they have the "presentation" down with their talking points, but that's all they are-- "talking points."
Compare that with Ron who speaks with passion, as a man who is genuinely concerned about our country's present and future.
There are a lot of things that motivate and certainly words can be one of them. However, give me a man with "passion" over a man with simple "presentation" any day!
Principle over Presentation
Anyone can be passionate and still be WRONG! Ron is both principled AND passionate! Give me SUBSTANCE over STYLE any day.
If the Lord wants Ron Paul to be President, He will honor our efforts.
So pray.
