Make A Statement to Your Congressman
I just finished reading my copy of Revolution A Manifesto! I promptly ordered a gift wrapped copy and had it shipped from Amazon to my congressman. Can you imagine if four other people in my district did the same? Or what about 50? We might really capture his attention.
Great idea..
If I can save enough devalued Federal Reserve Notes, I'll do the same.

WooHoo!
Just arrived today…I did the two for deal, “A Foreign Policy of Freedom” as well, was left on my front porch in a little brown box…It feels like Christmas in April : )
I bought the Two-fer deal as well via Amazon shipped today...
Can't wait for my presto X-mas in late spring!!
They Don't Want You to Read This
I went to Barnes & Noble this evening to get my copy, and this is my adventure. First, I scoped out the new arrivals tables - No Revolution. Next I checked out the political table - Wrong Revolution (Jesse Ventura's). There are books from all politicians including current candidates, broke candidates, retired politicians, talking heads, etc. No Ron Paul! Next off to the Non-Fiction section - No Revolution. There was "A Foreign Policy of Freedom", so maybe I'm headed in the right direction.
I finally gave up and asked for directions. The gentlemen behind the counter looked it up in inventory, and YAHTZEE, there are a dozen copies. He was trying to help, but we checked the same tables as before - No Revolution. He asked his supervisor for directions, at which point we went to the back corner of the store. There on the top shelf next to extra copies of David McCullough's 1776 was The Revolution: A Manifesto!
Of course he is the only one who knows how to operate the ladder on wheels, so he climbs up and gets my copy. As he is coming down, I ask him if he could get several more of the remaining books down. When he gets down, he asks me if I am going to give these as gifts. I said, "No, but could you please display these in a better location."
Nice work!
I wonder where they ended up. I bet they all sell by the next day, if they are on display.
Got my copy today!
classmate of mine wanted to stop by Borders to find a study guide for finals, and while we were there, I found Dr. Paul's book. I was thrilled cause the computer said it wasn't available yet, but I checked the shelves anyway and was rewarded for my efforts.
Now Let's Get Out There and Promote It
We should have a thread that consolidates all the book promotion ideas the grassroots have suggested so far, and start organizing to act on them. Dr. Paul gave us this tool (the book) for a reason; we should use it for him.
well, for starters, always
well, for starters, always have a copy with you... think of it as the Bible of the movement.... well, really that would be the Constitution... let's call this the New Testament... anyways, take it with you. When you're on the bus or whatever, read it... people see it.. etc. etc. Just imagine walking down the street and noticing dozens of people carrying the same book.... that's what I was thinking about today as I walked home with my copy of the book in my hand.
I just bought a copy today
I just bought a copy today at Barnes and Noble!
My copy came in the mail yesterday
I just started reading, but I love the way Dr. Paul explains his ideas of limited government.
I wish someone who has read it would provide a few highlights!
Can't wait to hear his latests comments about the "Den of Theives"!
Book idea: perfect time to repost this

"If freedom is what we want, it is ours for the taking. Let the revolution begin."
Pure awesome.

I got my copy on Friday from Amazon.com. I have only had time to read about 1/4 of the book so far. I love how he gives examples and quotes supporting his arguments.
I hope to get it signed someday.

$25 will get you
exactly 1.19 copies of the book; less if you live in a state with sales tax! :-)
Although, if you buy it online, it will buy you 1.76 copies from bn.com, though that does not include shipping :-)
Climbing the charts
Up to #22! I'm getting chills!
Ron Paul on YouTube
Ron Paul MUST make more YouTube videos.
NOW!
There has been no new video since the bad March video.
This is borderline to stupid.
He must make a new positive video, we will make it viral.
Messages in the new video should be:
- Buy my new book!
- We need delegates.
- We can win by the delegates.
- Subscribe to this YouTube chanel (as I will make many more videos going forward).
PLEASE Ron Paul staff - make this video NOW - NOW!!!

There is a VERY good video
There is a VERY good video similar to what you are asking for. It is on bloombergtv under the Ron Paul nightshow video. It shows the book and other stuff. Go to the link posted elsewhere for the video of the show. Then look under that screen at the one below it.
It's great to get Pauls book up to Number 1 on Amazon, but. . .
Make sure you're buying as many copies at brick and mortor stores as you do on Amazon. The New York Times people don't look at internet sales. They look at established booksellers preorders.
Plus, the book has to be nominated in the first place before they even start to look at those sales. To get the NYT, you have to purchase from Barnes and Nobles Boarders, Walden books, etc.

Just bought a copy at Barnes
Just bought a copy at Barnes & Noble in Pasadena... drove home like a man possessed, licking my chops like a hungry panther, anticipating opening up a can of whupass on those other wannabe candidates, all the while mixing up my metaphors and dangling my participles out the window at passersby...
I'm excited!

Now #33 on Amazon!
Wait until we hit April 30 and Dr. Paul pulls out all the stops!
Received An Amazon Email Today
The Amazon email said that my copy of the book shipped and should arrive by the 25th.
About half way down the email it mentioned the 5% discount for pre-orders of books. Hmmmm.
I went to the Amazon site to check the price; $12.60. Back to the received email; 12.60. That's curious.
I called Amazon to see if it was not considered a pre-order. They apologized, said it was a technical glitch with online orders from time to time, and credited my account with $0.73. LOL
I just cannot allow a large company to take money from me; even if it's under a dollar.
Up to #44 on the list.

Anyone at the Montana book signing today?
Would love to hear a report. Did the books sell out? Was it a madhouse? Etc.
Yep, they did sell out the
Yep, they did sell out the book in the bookstore. Ron continued to sign other things until he had to leave for a press conference. It wasn't quite a "madhouse" but a well organized event.
The ballroom for his speech was filled to max. They allowed 1000 people in there (750 chairs and the rest standing). They had 916 people in there when I checked (about 10-15 minuts before the speech started) and people were still coming in. A very nice event.
Freedom Rules!

What are the chances that Oprah Winfrey will select this book for her book club?
I just got three copies
One for hubby and me, one for each kid.
Bought mine just now
I just bought a copy and am going to try get it signed by the man himself. God Bless Ron Paul!
Got Mine Today
Amazon was great! I pre-ordered mine a few months ago from Amazon and they shipped exactly when they said. Can't wait to start reading it. I'm buying 5 more for gifts and to help push it to number one. RP08. Now more than ever!
Truth is Treason in the Empire of Lies.
I got my book last week. And Frank is correct-"the preface alone will blow you away." My new favorite Ron Paul quote: Truth is treason in the empire of lies. YES!!!!
As I read it I kept saying that I have to remember what page this is. There were too many pages to remember. I'm going to read it again and keep track. This truly is a must read for all Americans. If I could, I would by everyone a copy. Our man is a genius.
Got Mine Today
In God We Trust!
I am a rather slow reader but I suppose in this case, that is good! :-)
I am only on page 30 right now but I have to share a quote of Ron's here. He is speaking about our present government "The original Right, opposed Big Government at home and abroad, and considered foreign interventionism to be on the other side of the same statist coin as interventionism at home. They recognized that Big Government was no more honest or competent in foreign policy than it was in domestic policy. In both cases it was the same institution, with the same people, operating under the same incentives".
This book is really awesome as is the Author!
President Paul in 2009
yea
I too have a wait time of 7-10 days. I can't really see amazon having a shortage on books they knew they had to have prior to the actual release date (presale). But if that's the case, it would be rather impressive.
Hard to Gauge
My sense is that this book keeps surprising Amazon, and they keep getting caught short. It's now saying that it ships in 24 hours again, so maybe they've finally got things together.
Does anyone know
if this book is going to be sold from the store on the official campaign website?
That's a good question ...
That's a good question ... his other books are for sale there, if memory serves, aren't they? Maybe he will do the same with the new one ....
I hope he will be selling signed copies on his site
because I doubt Ron will be in Alaska anytime soon to sign one for me!
He should
You guys worked so hard there!

I'm gonna try
to see if we can get him up here. But, if he visits in the summer, he may not be able to bring himself to leave summer in Alaska. And we'd be okay with that, even if the residents of Texas District 14 would not like it. :)
Mine is at home sitting in the mail box
AND ITS KILLING ME! Cant wait to start reading it
