MIT Supports Ron Paul This November 5th!
Posted November 5th, 2007 by Corie Whalen
A member of the Boston Meetup Group, Matt Davidson, sent this picture along, with the following commentary:
"Early this morning a group of MIT students decided they would take a stand against the emerging police state. Some supported Ron Paul and dropped a 60' long "Ron Paul rEVOLution" banner over the main campus building visible from the Charles river and much of Boston. Others chose to display a banner reading "Remember Remember the Fifth of November." Together they make an extraordinary sight."
Gotta love the name recognition! :)
ALSO, here's the constantly updated graph of the donations coming in today!

had to bump this in memory of
NOVEMBER 5TH!!!
Great Idea!!!!
Our groups have all been organizing such creative events, it would be great to go to the ron paul yellow pages ("patriot pages"???) to seek things we need there first and it will help us all connect too. This made my Husband think of CraigsList or a "RonsList" type website where a portion of the sales goes to RP.
What creativity!
I meant to put this under the yellow pages idea post....sorry, I am new to this.
THIS IS INSPIRING! GOOD
THIS IS INSPIRING! GOOD JOB!!

I will look out for this :)
MIT Brains NEEDED!!!
Hey, I didnt know that we had MIT students here. Gees,
Our Meetup #52 Raleigh NC has an idea to start a :
RON PAUL YELLOW PAGES
What is it?
A business repository for all the people around the country that support Ron Paul. All of us have some skill, work, trade, business, enterprise, etc that we do.
Why NOT create a Yellow Pages so that we can do business with each other.
That is, if I am going to buy flowers for the Jay Leo, I would rather do buy from a shop that supports Ron Paul than anyone else. So how do I find this flower shop in LA????
Answer: RON PAUL YELLOW PAGES
By this we can wield the power of our pockets to help our fellow supporters and keep the money within flowing. Then these wigs will have to slowly take notice.
Second: Ron Paul has advocated competeting currencies. I like this yellow pages to also include: GOLD and SILVER as legal tender. Therefore, slowly allowing us to trade and keep our earnings in GOLD and SILVER that retains its value in the long run.
Third: We can also include local busnesses (at local city/town level) that will allow us to put up posters/flyers etc., on their premises or even donate to the local Meetups.
Fourth: This would be best served in a decenteralized manner (like craigslist or Meetups)
Ideallly, allow for each business to be rated (like on Ebay) so those non supporters can be weeded out by the people that use them locally.
I have also made a graphic Banner for the web page.
Please email me if anyone is interested.
All comments welcome.
God Bless ...what a beautiful day.
Now rushing to go see a special screening of V at a local theater.
RP Yellow pages
It's not just a great idea, it should be a must, not just for trading between us, but to have a solid paper list of Ron Paul supporters. In case of voter fraud by machines or other techniques, this yellow pages could actually be much more useful than imagined...
God bless you all!!
That is a Excellent Idea!!!
This is the next GREAT (Nov.5th) idea
Mike
Ron Paul is my HERO!!!

It brings tears to my eyes.
Haha.
GOLD! pure gold.
MIT Ronbot
One of you MIT brainiacs should make a YouTube video with a little Ronbot robot calling in a donation with a credit card in it's other hand! What a great spoof to throw back in their faces for their false accusations last week.
Go MIT!
The MIT Hackers are also featured on Lew Rockwell :)

Everything is coming up Ron Paul!
This is most awesome. And the money bomb seems to be quite effective.
A banker buster!
Who ever thought a revolution could be such a gas?
Go Ron Paul!

My Father inlaw is a MIT grad.. I just emailed this to him!
RON PAUL IN 08!
Cool. Someone can add this
Cool.
Someone can add this to the wikipedia article on MIT Hacks:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w...
Yes! Excellent
Yes! Excellent idea.
Updating wikipedia to show this must be done before today ends. It could add untold $$$thousands to the effort. And include the MIT photos with the update. Please, someone good with computers step up and do this.
All I can say is "WOW!"
Way to go, MIT!!! Wonder if Harvard, Yale, Stanford, etc fill follow your example. This is an IN-CREDIBLE statement from one of the most prestigious campuses in America!
I would say, the "Revolution" has begun :-)
MIT
That's an amazing pic. That'll go down in MIT history!
classic hack
As an MIT alum, I will make this my wallpaper.
Expect more 'hacks' to come. Do a google search on mit hacks to learn about the tradition, such as a truck on top of the dome....
By the way its 'smoots', and there are 364.4 Smoots plus one ear to cross the bridge.
Anyone familiar with MIT history
knows that this is big.
Care to fill in those of us
Care to fill in those of us who do not?
They dressed that dome up as R2D2
All kinds of stuff:

You MIT folks are bright. Great of you to support Ron Paul in such an enthusiastic and obvious way.
So, how many Moots does it take to cross the bridge?
Haha. That's cool.
Haha. That's cool.
