One Million Votes, and #1 on the NY Times Best Seller List

ARLINGTON, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Republican Presidential candidate Ron Paul eclipsed an important milestone in yesterday's primaries in Indiana and North Carolina. By winning over 71,000 votes, Dr. Paul has earned the backing of over one million supporters across America.

“By voting and caucusing for Dr. Paul, one million Republicans have sent a powerful message to our leaders that they want the GOP to return to its traditions of limited government, personal liberty and a strong national defense,” said campaign spokesman Jesse Benton. “Dr. Paul and the grassroots movement he has inspired are building a bright future for the Republican Party and the United states of America.”

In other news, Dr. Paul's book The Revolution: A Manifesto will be the #1 nonfiction book on the May 18th New York Times bestseller list! Way to go Dr. Paul! Way to go everyone!

Can we and should we try to

Can we and should we try to assist in getting Paul on tv shows. I am watching the Daily Show right now and would love to see him on the show. ANy thoughts?

the "alternative" Ron Paul Revolution

All this means is that Ron Paul, and his wonderful book, can't do ALL the work for us.

But then we all understand that already, don't we/

PEACE AND FREEDOM!!

lets all keep the book #1

lets all keep the book #1 Best Seller lists. Will continue to generate buzz and interviews for Dr. Paul.

The 1 million votes

One million sounds like a lot but I couldn't help wondering "1 million out of how many?".There are over 300 million people in this country and they can't (or don't) all vote.
Well, according to google maps, about 20 million Republicans have voted.
I was surprised it was that low. Anyway, the interesting news is that 1 out of every 20 Republican voters is voting for Ron Paul.

That's great news

Libertarians are lucky to get 1% usually. 5% is a big step in the right direction, but we still have a long way to go. No telling how long it would take. If you told me two years ago that a libertarian candidate would get 5% of the Republican primary vote, I would not have believed it.

The Revolution: A Manifesto - delivery in July by Amazon!

I pre-ordered a copy from Amazon, received it and read it immediately. Last week I ordered another five copies to give away and Amazon is quoting delivery around July 4th! I love the date, but will have to buy some at a bookstore to carry me through the next seven weeks. I think we've overwhelmed them with demand.

You'll get it sooner

I GUARANTEE you Amazon will get you the book well before July 4. No book takes that long to print, no matter what the demand.

Tried to buy

A copy here in New Jersey in Barnes & Noble, and Borders. Even tried Target. None. The Barnes lady did not even know who he was. But I said it was #1 on the NYTimes list next week and she said "oh, probably why we do not have any!" so that was good.
Saw lots of Barbara Walters books so I bought one instead........
ha ha

Did anyone take note of the dagger and what it means?

Most people won't notice this but the book has a condition to it. If you look to the bottom, it explains. A dagger qualifies the ranking with the condition that many bookstores received bulk orders. Once again raising skepticism, at least mine, to how much this is spreading and impacting American society. At the end of the day, I have a feeling it will be like any other popular and successful ALTERNATIVE book. The presumption here is that with our effort and continual effort somehow magically this argument we fight for will suddenly become the common, across the board accepted and embraced idea. I am saddened to believe, however, that this will flourish for a bit like any insightful but not "mainstream" book, and in the end will not have the affect we wish it to have.

Pulling Defeat From the Jaws of Victory

In the Age of Oprah, it is IMPOSSIBLE to get to #1 on the NYT list. Regardless of how many extra copies people bought, this is amazing. Let's acknowledge that.

But if we pay our cards right, the book WILL have an ongoing impact. If the press gets word that every single delegate is being sent a copy, that is a story. That makes the book relevant. That gets more media time for us. Etc.

But seriously, even if "all" the book did was energize the base and educate a new generation of thinkers, that would be a huge impact.

SUGGESTION- SEND A COPY TO YOUR SENATOR AND STATE REPRESENTATIVE

IN WASHINGTON, DC! Boy, what a REACTION that would cause! I'm not even 100% sure that they all know how to read; they sure don't spend ANY time reading the bills before they vote on them!!

Can you imagine though, if EVERY Senator AND Congressperson received multiple copies of Ron Paul's book? Some may even go back and READ the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights that they were SWORN into office to UPHOLD and PROTECT, but have been doing anything and everthing EXCEPT that!

It is TIME to VOTE OUT EVERY INCUMBANT, especially the ones who've been there 20, 30, etc. years, they've outlived their usefulness! ESPECIALLY PELOSI, REID, BOEHNER, and McINSANE, CLINTON, etc... I could go on and on!

LONG LIVE THE REVOLUTION! GO DR. PAUL!!!

you are right,

organized and determined movement can do a lot

Change is made one

Person at a time.

It only takes a small group

to change this world.

If we are so weak why is the status quo so scared of us?

They have a dozen people watching this site 24/7 and there is nothing they can do.

As long as we listen to the doc and work independently, they are helpless.

Beware of disinformation.

Beware of a lie wrapped in truth.

Do what the Doc does and just say the truth over and over again.

T

Yeah know, I always love

Yeah know, I always love this quote. The whole...a small group can change the world. No one ever stops to think how terrible a fact that is. What do I mean? Well lemme list a small group...Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Ashcroft, Rice, and lets not forgot the sickest of them all, the sociopath, Karl Rove. Did I forget anyone?

Beware of a lie wrapped in truth.....

trippy .............

intense with the lyrics or the eanin cause its nice to know that these things are being thrown at me ... and u .. and all of us every day.. keep it reap

RP '08

The Revolution: A Manifesto

After i recieved my copy i was unable to put it down.I plan on donating a copy to my local library and have been freely handing copies out to friends who are current Paul supporters.I'm just glad to know the book has reached such a level of acceptance even here, the message of freedom seems to be resonating strong here in Illinois and even if RP doesn't get the nomination.I know Ron Pauls message will never fade from the intelligent unblined minds of the American People that haven't become sheep
I and a few others here plan on joinng the Revolution March on July 12th at D.C..I know it'll be a pivital stance and message against our flawed government.I only hope i will be able to find a meet up group possibily taking a charter bus.

-rEVOLution- Ron Paul 08

CDs are great too

The reader, whose name escapes me, if very clear and very easy to listen to. I am so happy about this.

Biggest regret is that we did not set up a 100% exit poll for all the primaries. It would have been difficult, but not impossible since the democrats and republicans don't trust each other either.

Sure wish we would get one together for November if Dr. Paul is going to be available one way or another to vote for. And I really think he will be available. With all the rotten stuff that has gone on in the Republican party, I think he will be driven to go third party for November. We need to get an exit poll set up before then. It will take time. Only 100% exit poll will do any good.

i hope the #1 slot gets him positive msm attention

i've been so disappointed that he hasn't appeared on more news shows. but i guess it was naive of me to think that the tide would suddenly change when the book came out. it's hard to give sight to the blind or blinded.

Bump

.

The Weather is nice

The weather is nice so lets get outside and read it in public so people can see what we are reading.

Good idea

Carry the book to the car wash, to the hairdresser, to wait for appointments of any kind. It is small and easy to carry. Then if someone shows a great interest, give it to them and buy another one!!

Copyright 2007 ?

Why is that pdf of the list copyright 2007?

Just wondering.

IMissLiberty

We are the minority ...

but actually we are the majority ... peace and love , powerfull words , we open up our hearts to this man , and his message of freedom and hope , so I think Ron Paul is a modern day prophet in a sense he has influenced sooooo many ... w change the way we conduct our days for the freedom mindstate

keep it real

Ron Paul '08

A million votes that slipped through the voting machines...

... don't ever forget that... something smells terrible around here...

ahah

exactly

one million votes...

one million votes and this book WILL change the world...you wait and see!

when i finish reading this book i'm gonna read it again.

it is a magificent book just as the good doctor is a magnificent man!

We can all say what needs to be done, but who here led by example today?

Bought 10 copies yesterday.

Bought 10 copies yesterday. Two to my local library. The other 8, I will pass out to spread the message. Everyone should be doing this. Books last a long time and get passed around. This keeps the message going. Not to mention, keeping him at the top of the best sellers lists will get him a lot more attention. We could do more for RP by buying his book than we could have ever imagined with any money bomb. BUY THE BOOK--SPREAD THE MESSAGE. This message sticks, as we all know.

Only 1 mln?

At least ten times more of Republican voters are satisfied with big government, big spending, restricted freedom America.
Sad to say, RP has a lot on his plate to reverse the thinking.

The bright side

Is that more than a million people have the right idea, and we all get to be a part of this movement in our time. An empty plate in life wouldn't leave us satisfied, anyway. GO TEAM PAUL!!!

WE do ...

WE have a lot on OUR plate to reverse the thinking....

Ordered my copy

I finally ordered my copy of Revolution tonight along with A Foreign Policy of Freedom and it went from #10 to #9 on Amazon. Woohoo!

Congratulations!

To Dr. Paul and all of us who made this happen!

LOVE LIBERTY BABAY

and the rEVOLution rolls on!

"Best Selling" authors usually get invited to go on the talk circut - all the national shows. Can't be ignored now, this will reach millions of the unwashed masses!!

Way to go Dr. Paul!

I truely hope so, but somehow I think RP will be the exception

to that rule....(I mean why not- they have done everything to minimize him up til now, why not continue?) please forgive me :( I live in Indiana and I thought we would do waaaay better than 8% - which very coincidentally ties us with the exact same percentage "won" in NC wow, cool! What are the chances of 2 states coming in w/the exact same percentage totals for RP? 1 in 1 billion? I should have bet on it in Vegas maybe I would have won a cool mil?
WTF?

Long live the R3vo_|ution!!!!

rereading it now

My only complaint is its to short, but then it was written in rons spare time on the trail, so its understandable

Its meant to be short and

Its meant to be short and too the point..

The TV generation, isn't going to pick up a 1250 page classic like Atlas Shrugged.. let alone make it too the end before the next Idol season..

Its perfect.

Yes

The length is perfect. It will be picked up by many more people because of it.
