Give all your money on that day! We need good press. This sounds like a dumb idea and somethinRudy and Mitt would love! flag it.

I already posted this here:

Hey, the MLK money bomb is too divisive on many counts, so I did some research and found 2 more birthdays to celebrate.

Let's make this a 3-day event in defense of Liberty and Justice and Freedom for all.

I think it should be a 3-day bomb to raise $18 million ($6 Million a day). Don't go higher than that, because the press will destroy us if we come up short.

Highlight the need for Super Tuesday funds!

Jan. 21 - MLK Day
Jan. 22 - Sir Francis Bacon's birthday
Jan. 23 - John Hancock's birthday

Jan 21. MLK Day.
Quotes that represent what the Ron Paul Revolution represents:

"Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter."
"I submit to you that if a man hasn't discovered something he will die for, he isn't fit to live."
"Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity."
"The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy."
"Our scientific power has outrun our spiritual power. We have guided missiles and misguided men."
"I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality. That is why right, temporarily defeated, is stronger than evil triumphant."
"In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends."

Jan. 22 (1561)- Sir Francis Bacon:
Leader of Scientific Revolution. Warned of religious fervor in government bringing Europe back to the Dark Ages.

Famous Bacon quotes:
"Silence is the virtue of fools."
"Knowledge is power." (Ipsa Scientia Potestas Est)
"He of whom many are afraid ought to fear many." This one is good - all the politicians in power fear Ron Paul; that is proof that we should fear them.

from Wiki:
Laurence Lampert wrote that Bacon dared to suggest that a revolution in thinking and acting was necessary because European intellectual and spiritual life as well as European politics had been captured by religious fanaticism that threatened to plunge Renaissance Europe into another dark age. Bacon chose the old literary device of dialogue to present his argument for wholesale change indirectly. In the conversation of his characters, he allows readers to see the reasons for kindling spiritual warfare against the spiritual rulers of European civilization.

There are some scholars who believe that Bacon's vision for a Utopian New World in North America was laid out in his novel The New Atlantis. He envisioned a land where there would be greater rights for women, the abolishing of slavery, elimination of "debtors prisons", separation of church and state, and freedom of religious and political expression.
Francis Bacon played a leading role in creating the British colonies, especially in Virginia, the Carolinas and Newfoundland.

Jan. 23 (1737) - John Hancock:
First to sign Declaration of Independence (only one to sign it on July 4th, 1776).
Financed the American Revolution. Started the Minutemen. First to boycott British tea. ETC.

Seriously, let's keep race out of this. The race issue has already managed to pummel the Clintons.

Let's just focus on what these 3 men have in common with Dr. Paul:

Taking back our country for the good of WE the PEOPLE!

I may be a vegetarian, but I'll defend to the death my right to eat pork!

Great work and profoundly prophetic comments from MLK! Funny how they say they believe what he said, except when it comes to themselves and their own actions.

I had chills, and I had to fight back tears too.

They treat Ron Paul the same way they treated Martin Luther King Jr. in his day and during his marches. They now pretend to love MLK's message, then they spit upon Ron Paul and us.

Dr. King could see what is going on right now. I do belive he would support Ron.

Hello Everyone,

The outcry to fix the error of the date at the end did not go unheard and I have edited my video to reflect the proper date at the end. It has been uploaded to YouTube and should be available shortly. Thank you and go Ron!

Yours in Liberty,

What is a revolution? Wikipedia says that "a revolution (from the Latin revolutio, 'a turnaround') is a significant change that usually occurs in a short period of time. Revolutions have happened throughout human history and vary widely in terms of methods, duration, and the number of participating revolutionaries. Their results include major changes in culture, economy, and sociopolitical institutions."

One such revolution occurred during the civil rights movement of the sixties championed by Martin Luther King, whose birthday we will celebrate on Monday. Recently Hilary Clinton, trying to make a point about presidential leadership said: “Dr King’s dream began to be realized when President Lyndon Johnson passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964. It took a president to get it done.”

Hilary is mistaken. It's quite arrogant to assume that government brings about this kind of change. You can change someone's behavior with legislation, but in order to bring about a revolution in action you first must have a revolution in thought: you must first change peoples' minds! You can't write a law that forces people to judge others 'not by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.'

The original revolution of which Americans are proud, the American Revolution, happened long before our forefathers put down their farming implements, picked up guns and fought for independence from Britain. The revolution first happened years prior in the minds and hearts of the people. Their ideals gave them the courage to fight for their liberty just as ideals in the sixties gave people the courage to protest during dangerous times when protesters might be gassed, arrested, or even shot.

There is another revoution going on right now. It's called the Ron Paul Revolution. This revolution is an ideological movement in line with Dr. Martin Luther King's teachings on freedom and our founding fathers' mandate to liberty. Ron Paul is following in Dr. King's and the founders' footsteps and first trying to change peoples' minds. He's trying to convince people that they were in fact born with the God-given inalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. We are toiling endlessly under the rule of a corrupt government that has taken many of our rights away. But there is a way out of this mess if we can reach enough minds with Ron Paul's message.

You may have seen the Ron Paul Revolution logo where the 'evol' in revolution is highlighted in red and spelled backward to emphasize the word LOVE buried inside the message. This concept is at the root of the movement to get out Ron Paul's message, change peoples' minds, and thereby effect change in America and around the world. If you LOVE yourself, your country, and your fellow man please take a few minutes to click the below link, watch this powerful video and internalize the message that Ron Paul, MLK, and our country's founders want us to understand.

http://www.youtube.com/wa...

This clip was made in honor of MLK's birthday and in response to recent accusations of racism toward presidential candidate Ron Paul. If you like the message please consider pledging at www.freeatlast2008.com to donate at least $10 on January 21 (MLK's birthday) to Ron Paul's presidential campaign. Our donations will allow Dr. Paul's message to reach the maximum number of people, affect the maximum number of minds, and ensure that this revolution can finally take back our country.

Please, please, please fix the date error toward the end of this video. Or is there a corrected version online somewhere already? This is an excellent video, but it needs to corrected and re-uploaded.

We are waiting to send this video out to thousands of people. We cannot send it out with such an error (needs to be professional). The beginning could be re-edited as well – just a bit slow in rehashing 9/11 & the war story. (Your video appeals to informed people. Informed people know the war is bad - real bad. Informed people often don't have time or interest to watch a hundred YouTube videos of war clips over a hundred different sad songs. Great titles, great music, and content of course. Just an opinion.)

Again, we LOVE the video – NOT trying to tone it down or change it. Just trying to help with delivery of the message. Thanks to you and all others who contribute your effort!

Peace,

SC

A lot of quotes from Dr. King.

http://www.cyclesurfer.co...

I have concerns about this, because doesn't the King Estate require people to get permission from them for events and fundraisers in MLK's name? Has Trevor Lyman gotten permission from the King estate for this? I hope so, because if not, this could be very bad if the King estate decided to sue over this. :( I really want this to be successful, and am not trolling just voicing a valid concern. I did some internet research on this, thats why I am concerned. Someone please tell me Lyman got permission from the King estate.
From another thread:

If Trevor is unaware of this you may want to

That was incredibly well put together...!

if they don't follow orders they go to prison. I'd much rather see the true blame placed on the leaders...not the "boots on the ground". Otherwise a good video, thank you.

**Edit***I guess I should have finished watching the video first before posting above...lmao Very nice video!

And donate $1000 on January 21, 2008 to the next President of the United States, Ron Paul!

Here is the link about the Jan. 21st money increase. http://www.freeatlast2008...

When I watched this early about 10 hours ago it was at 2,000 views on youtube, now it's almost 10,000! Pass it on!

thank you

Be Blessed

wants are unlimited, means are scarce...

I'm doubling my contribution this time... Hopefully I'll contribute $2300 by the end.

Thank you for an amazing video, the best one I have seen yet for Jan. 21.

Very powerful -- I can appreciate the time spent on this and it was well worht it. Let's get it out!!!

I think in the video it has the date of Jan 1st instead of 21st..it flew by fast but I thought I saw that. I also had to stop watching it for a few minutes because of so much violence in the middle which I really hink should be shortened but it was altogether a grand video and MLK would also have loved it, I think.

http://www.youtube.com/wa...

I loved this video and am going to promote it but I didn't quite get the part with bush. It made it look like going into Iraq was the right thing when it had nothing to do with 9/11 and everything to do with lies to the American people but the video didn't show that or bring the point home.

For dealing with neocons the best thing and only thing you can do is educate with a reputable 3rd party historical source. The 3 part BBC documentary "The power of nightmares" is perfect for this. You can watch it online at http://www.archive.org/de... or download the DVD image at http://www.archive.org/de...

to donate. Two courageous men who non violent message to win hearts and minds for progress. Peace

Check out my new video for RP.

They will come, we just have to keep reaching out. This will reach more. Not everyone, but more, and more is that much closer.

I always get a little choked up when I hear King's "I Have a Dream" speech, especially the "free at last!" bit at the end.

REVOLUTION!
http://ronpaulrecount.blo...

I have a dream too Dr. King................Dr. Paul

This video is totally INEFFECTIVE to convince people who don't support Ron Paul already.

Don't get me wrong, I like the video and I support Ron Paul, BUT! You got to realize that if you could reason with these morons, they would be supporting Ron Paul already!

The best way that I found to convince people is NOT to push the messages of Ron Paul to these buffoons, but ASK them why they support CFR candidates and ASK them about the North American Union. This takes time, but it's the best way that I found, so far.

These morons don't like to be told what to do. They operate based on fear and empty pride. So, don't tell, but ASK questions and let them figure out on their own that they are supporting the efforts to over throw the U.S.A. Once fear sets in, they will start to support Ron Paul.

Let me know if there is a better way.

OUTSTANDING VIDEO! NEEDS TO BE ON TV. MOVED ME BEYOND WORDS, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
