The technicalites of future state conventions, whether there are any or not, these sort of announcements always spike his MSM face time 10 fold. Curious minds will enquire, others will be reminded of a statesman called Ron Paul.

that I am more pumped up now than I have ever been about this movement! In my eyes for Ron Paul, it never really was about winning the presidency, but rather about finding victory for his message. For so many of the other candidates, I felt as though they were merely using their campaigns to make statements about whether or not a woman or a black man could be voted into office, and there was never really a message of substance as Ron Paul has had. How frustrating that our public, so caught up in imagery and appearance in the era of celebrities and debutants, bought in to this horse and pony show.

We AMERICANs need to move past the black/white/rich/poor/male/female observation of eachother, and start calling eachother AMERICANs. We are not African-American, European-American, Mexican-American, Asian-American or whatever it may be. We are AMERICAN. TOGETHER we must work towards our common goals, put the best people in the best places, not because of their race, gender, age or status, but because of their ability.

We can't continue to play the game that the media and the government want from us. We must stay united and stay smart to spread the voice of freedom. Everyone has their breaking point at which they've had enough. Many of us are at ours, or have been for some time. It is our job to be there for other American's when they reach the point at which they can take no more. No more oppression, no more "games", no more lies, and no more cheating us of the liberties our founders worked so hard for us to have.

Our inheritance was freedom and liberty, and our "fathers" would be sad to see these gifts placed at the mercy of others. It will certainly take time for others to come around, to join our revolution, but in time it will come. One thing I'm sure of is that the media is truly underestimating the impact and proportion of this movement. That or they are very aware, very scared, and are afraid to let the rest of the public know what is happening.

Stay strong patriots, be patient, and don't give up your hope for America. We have a responsibility to our country, our ancestors, our future generations, and to eachother! LONG LIVE THE REVOLUTION!!!!!

....but assumed someone had already put it up. Here it is.

Over half a million views in 10hrs!!!!!!!!

last night because I was really hoping he would stick it out until the convention, but then I thought and I have no idea and I haven't researched it but if McCain would have gotten the offical nom would RP be required to give his campaign money to McCain? (I thought I heard about this during primary season could have just been a rumor) If not then I'm sure they would write a law for that the Rep. Party has been extra shady towards him...I know DUH. If I did hear that rumor correctly or if he got wind of this shennagan then he is truly looking out for us and didn't want our money to go to McCain and lets not forget he could have just put it towards his congressional run like most poloticians would do. Ron Paul is going to do great things with this new campaign, but more importantly so are we. Also even if McCain were to become ill Romney would swoop back in its not like the MSM or the country would recgonize RP as the offical nominee anyway. I'm going to take this weekend to be a little mopey, send out an email with the link for the Campaign for Liberty, and put my Ron Paul represents me sticker on my car but then its time to get back to work. It was a great speech last night, and he seemed really happy. Have a nice weekend everyone.

545 PEOPLE
By Charlie Reese
Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems and then campaign against them.

Have you ever wondered why, if both the Democrats and the Republicans are against deficits, we have deficits?

Have you ever wondered why, if all the politicians are against inflation and high taxes, we have inflation and high taxes?

You and I don't propose a federal budget. The President does.

You and I don't have the Constitutional authority to vote on appropriations. The House of Representatives does.

You and I don't write the tax code, Congress does.

You and I don't set fiscal policy, Congress does.

You and I don't control monetary policy, the Federal Reserve Bank does.

One hundred senators, 435 congressmen, one president, and nine Supreme Court justices, 545 human beings out of the 300 million, are directly, legally, morally, and individually responsible for the domestic problems that plague this country

I excluded the members of the Federal Reserve Board because that problem was created by the Congress. In 1913, Congress delegated its Constitutional duty to provide a sound currency to a federally chartered, but private, central bank.

I excluded all the special interests and lobbyists for a sound reason. They have no legal authority. They have no ability to coerce a senator, a congressman, or a president to do one cotton-picking thing. I don't care if they offer a politician 1 million dollars in cash. The politician has the power to accept or reject it. No matter what the lobbyist promises, it is the legislator's responsibility to determine how he votes.

Those 545 human beings spend much of their energy convincing you that what they did is not their fault. They cooperate in this common con regardless of party.

What separates a politician from a normal human being is an excessive amount of gall. No normal human being would have the gall of a Speaker, who stood up and criticized the President for creating deficits. The president can only propose a budget. He cannot force the Congress to accept it.

The Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land, gives sole responsibility to the House of Representatives for originating and approving appropriations and taxes. Who is the speaker of the House? She is the leader of the majority party. She and fellow House members, not the President, can approve any budget they want. If the President vetoes it, they can pass it over his veto if they agree to.

It seems inconceivable to me that a nation of 300 million cannot replace 545 people who stand convicted -- by present facts -- of incompetence and irresponsibility. I can't think of a single domestic problem that is not traceable directly to those 545 people. When you fully grasp the plain truth that 545 people exercise the power of the federal government, then it must follow that what exists is what they want to exist.

If the tax code is unfair, it's because they want it unfair.

If the budget is in the red, it's because they want it in the red.

If the Marines are in IRAQ , it's because they want them in IRAQ .

If they do not receive social security but are on an elite retirement plan not available to the people, it's because they want it that way.

The fact is there are no insoluble government problems.

Why do we let these 545 people shift the blame to bureaucrats, whom they hire and whose jobs they can abolish; to lobbyists, whose gifts and advice they can reject; to regulators, to whom they give the power to regulate and from whom they can take this power. Above all, do not let them con you into the belief that there exists disembodied mystical forces like "the economy," "inflation," or "politics" that prevent them from doing what they take an oath to do.

Those 545 people, and they alone, are responsible

They, and they alone, have the power.

They, and they alone, should be held accountable by the people who are their bosses, provided the voters have the gumption to manage their own employees.

We should vote all of them out of office and clean up their mess!

Fortune Favors the Bold

but the site crashed on me after the first two minutes or so. I hope somebody youtubes it.

I think he should have waited to shut his campaign down until after the convention (sometime in mid-November would have been ideal). I can't imagine what the RP delegates going to MN must think. I am also in denial that that "campaign shutdown" is not the same as withdrawing from the race, cuz if McCain drops dead (they have west nile virus in MN don't they?) I would hope RP can still be a contender.

I'm still not sure why he didn't come right out and say in his speech what he posted on his site. Either he was afraid of an aweful sound bite going into heavy rotation on MSM, or he just chickened out in front of a packed convention hall concerned they would start a riot.

I know, I know it's not about RP - I just wanted to see him go all the way to November, to hell with the probabilities or the MSM coverage or anyone else claiming it to be absurd. It would be like an old fashioned sit-in. He's just THERE. He won't LEAVE. But he has left, and that's unfortunate. Staying would have garnered the movement much more exposure than his new liberty site is going to get in the same timeframe.

link below for a nine minute uncut interview with dr. paul shot right before he gave his speech in houston thursday night:

http://thevote.abc13.com/2008/06/ron-paul-uncut.html

where is all this baby crap coming from? about being betrayed by dr. paul and the campaign .. stop crying ... pick up your signs and your books and do what dr. paul has been doing for 30 years ... until you die ...

that's what a revolution is

I'm going to do it and so should you ... we don't have time to bs while freedom and liberty are under attack

ron has not abandoned us ... so don't abandon him ...

he is creating an organization to promote our ideals and restore our government .... help us fight ... and stop posting telling us that your feelings are hurt ...

i am not happy with the suspension, but dr. paul will continue to lead the way ... it isn't about him ... it's about freedom and liberty ... we are blessed to have a great man guiding us ... he is old and cannot live forever ... if there are any words anyone should have for him

they are: Thank you Dr. Paul, for standing up for all of us when no one else would. We will carry on with the message you so fiercly have fought for all of your life. God Bless You Dr. Paul!

I don't live in his district, but in Congress, Ron Paul represents ME!

I am Ron Paul!!!

God bless you, Dr. Paul. Excellent speech. Great energy; all fired up and rarin' to go! As are we: just LOOK:

10,000 Members! 10% of Goal in Less Than One Day!!

Kudos to you, too, Michael. The Daily Paul has played a HUGE role in facilitating the r3VOLution's plans!!!

after all
President of Campaign for Liberty
I just can't give up the sound of
President Paul

only anti-iraq candidates, please.

no blood on my hands.

how about:

Andrew Napolitano-anti-abortion libertarian republican

Chuck Hagel-libertarian-leaning conservative per ontheissues.org and against Iraq war

jeff flake-member of the liberty caucus, against iraq war

barry goldwater, jr.-endorsed ron paul, for limited government

lou dobbs-for gay marriage rights, against iraq war (?)

Karen Kwiatkowski-registered libertarian, against iraq war

Michael Badnarik-libertarian nominee for president 2004

lew rockwell-libertarian commentator/activist

mike gravel-against iraq, ended draft, for legalization of drugs

Gary Johnson-for legalization of drugs

Dennis Kucinich-legalization of drugs, against iraq war, for legalizing same-sex marriage

John Stossel-libertarian journalist

walter williams-libertarian economist, suggested by ron paul

russell means-ardent libertarian

jacob hornberger-libertarian founder of the future of freedom foundation

to end my small campaign for Ron Paul. Once again I felt the momentum building for a last ditch effort to win the election with the March on Washington DC, and the Mini Convention in Minnesota, by a massive write-In vote in November. but once again my spirit and enthusiasm has been deflated by Ron Paul himself, and his Campaign. I couldn't believe it when I read his website saying he was dropping out of the race. I truly believe we could have pushed him over the top, as conditions became worse in our country in the months ahead, as they no doubt will. The Revolution has gone bust as far as I'm concerned, Bye! ( Oh, and thank you "Main Stream Media" for killing the one small chance we had to turn this country around. We had a man of honesty and integrity, and you mocked, ignored and ridiculed him at every turn. I hope you are all very proud of yourselves )

why keep fighting a brick wall...what a waste of energy.
Now he can do something productive ..like get some of that evil hemp and make a rope to climb over it.
and I'm leaving my sign's up and my sticker's on!
Ron Paul !

I AM SO PROUD AT THIS MOMENT. How awesome that the whole thing went so well. Thanks justintv.com, great job!

Feel the waves folks?

How does it feel to be a part of something so great?

Time to sign up.

I didn't hear a word of concession in THAT speech. Something is brewing, I can smell it.

To the chagrin of many-a-disinfo-troll, the Ron Paul R3VOLution continues!

UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE: THE REVOLUTION WILL CONTINUE

What an inspiring speech! Ron Paul is such a gifted communicator. His plain-spoken common sense is like a salve to the wounded trust of the good people of the united States.

He didn't end his campaign. He began a new campaign, the Campaign for Liberty.

By the way, the Ron Paul for President grassroots campaign doesn't have to end, does it?

"In questions of power...let no more be heard of confidence in man, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the Constitution." -Thomas Jefferson

I'm disgusted with the entire sham.

Yes he has and is going to put his energy into the Revolution, "until his last breath".
Go to his web site and see his letter. Long Live Ron Paul & The Revolution!

Does it mean if the delegates all switched to him that they could not vote for him because he has quit? Or did he suspend? Or is he leaving his name on the "ballot" for the RNC??

...followed immediately by a major DOWNER? I think I'll go to bed.....
