Proud of Ron Paul Patriots!
As we move forward our strength will be our knowledge of the issues. Continue to study and learn so when we are faced with ignorant people we give them the straight facts. As we get better at speaking and being proactive our confidence will rise. Maybe, our fear will diminish a bit and we will then be able to control our anger and anxiety. We may be scattered around the country and world but we have a common goal and thanks to Dr. Paul we are armed with knowledge the key to change. Knowledge is Power.
Just wanted to help put some positive vibes out there today.
Take care.















Once upon a time, we were
Once upon a time, we were ignorant too. Must not forget where we came from while we teach others.

Absolutely
we are all still ignorant because we are not on the inside of what is being perpetrated against us. But I hope that I am less ignorant than I was because I am continuing to make every effort to correct the problem. The dictionary describes ignorant as follows: 1. lacking in knowledge or training: unlearned. 2. lacking special knowledge or information: 3. uninformed: unaware 4. Showing lack of knowledge or training. Example:
An ignorant person can be dangerous. Another example: I confess I'm ignorant of higher mathematics. A person can be intelligent and ignorant in particular areas. Our ignorance can put our lives and wealth in danger also the lives and wealth of the future generations.
Be Always Faithful
Ron Paul, the grand patriarch, will always be an inspiration. and besides...I'm still writing him in. Don't like any of the third party choices. "Principle Over Politics" Not!. See Castle, Phillips, CP. April 21, 2006.
+God will count the votes!
knowledge is power, action is love.
I have been having good luck getting people to talk. I have a silver certificate [one dollar] and 8 pre 1965 qaurters. I show a FRN next to the certificate and hand them 4 of the qaurters, I explain that in 1964 each qaurter would buy a gallon of gas, and that today that same qaurter still will.I go on to explain that a qaurter is not a qaurter of a dollar, it is a qaurter of an once.
when I hear the inevitable, "but what can I do?" my answer is to gain knowledge and spread the word!
thanks for the post sando! it is nice to think I am not alone in my efforts.

no fear...
We are able to engage in discourse and learn. No matter what I might say I might not believe it tomorrow for whatever new knowledge might disprove it. Diligence is not to an idea but to the continual testing and implementing of the idea, so that it persists or fades away as it should.
Ron Paul Said it Well in His Recent JBS Speech:
"People who carry a revolution are small in numbers, they're dedicated, they're principled, they understand. It might be 5% of the population, and I believe we're there. Because the people that supported our campaign this last year and a half, they were visible, they were more visible than all the other candidates put together. Because they were true believers."

Ron Paul's Convention Speech
Thanks quiltingsando for this great post -
This is what Dr. Paul is talking about in his wonderful speech at the JBS 50th Anniversary. There are some real gems in there - I'm going to watch it again. He wants us to study and know the issues, and to spread the word and educate and help others understand. People are definitely starting to wake up. This has especially been happening since the Bailout vote, because they saw that McBama and O'Cain both supported it, and we, the people, were against it almost one-for-one, so wtf? It is a fact that we are coming to the end of our society as we have known it, which from my viewpoint is somewhat welcome, and also sad. I mean it has been so wonderful, but so corrupted, that it must end. The wonderful parts I hope will survive. Dr. Paul said the remnant seems to survive no matter what, and that is us. It doesn't take 51%. Now we have to make sure that we replace the corrupted regime with the Constitutional Republic and not a dictatorship, only this time we will not take it for granted and will stay awake and pay the price of freedom with eternal vigilance. Thank you so much to all the Patriots for every sign you waved, for every phone call you made, for every house you canvassed, for every slim jim, pocket Constitution and bumper sticker you gave out, for the incredible money bombs, the Blimp, the Ron Paul Air Corp, the boats, the limo, all the fantastic creativity and for everything you will do to help ensure the survival of our great Republic. Thank you to Michael Nystrom for being here with the Daily Paul for us, and to quiltingsando for the wonderful quilt she is making for Michael, and to all you Patriots for being the most intelligent, courageous and caring people in the world, wherever you are.
Thanks Sandy
Debbie, you also reminded me to know the issues and educate. I have been guilty of pushing for my candidate (RP and Baldwin) and knocking the others, more on a personal level than on specific issues and differences. No one wants to hear personal attacks about their candidate, and they certainly don't want to be told how to vote.
I must educate them so that they will vote wisely. An informed voter is a wise voter.
I started today with an email to all of my buddies explaining the CFR..
I will try to send at least one article per week, educating people on a certain topic and telling them where McBama and Baldwin stand on that particular issue. I will try to write it in a manner that will allow for massive forwarding. I will include a website for Baldwin.
I have missed the boat on true, in-depth educating, I have assumed the sheeple know and understand the issues, they don't! Hell, up until a year ago I didn't know the issues! (Still learning). But I still voted, just like the MSM told me to vote.
PS: One other thing...the subject line has to grab them without thinking it is politics...again!!! I always try to mix it up with a variety of email jokes, trivia, you tube, health info, etc. Then BAM..when they least expect it, another political mailing. Short and sweet, lots of white space.
PSS: The older sheeple must be contacted by mail...send an old fashioned letter and slip a few political tidbits in on a separate piece of paper. So they can pass it on.
Sometimes the best gift you can give someone is a warning.

Good post!
I have been feeling afraid that because we do not have a very specific goal these days (like getting Ron Paul elected) that our petty differences would soon divide us. Although this is still a fear I have I am going to think positively and try to have faith that the ideals of liberty are stronger than that.
Let's move forward in unity in the name of liberty!
The power of positive people cannot be denied.
Teach, don't preach... if you provide people with the facts and give them time to absorb and process the info instead of shoving it down their throats (like last nights debate) they usually come to the same conclusion... that their government has indeed been lying to them their entire lives... then they will want all the info they can get their hands on.
I hosted a debate party last night for several former NeoCons who have finally lost faith in their leaders (along with millions of dollars in real estate investments). I had my info ready and when those two Bozo's started spewing lies about Russia attacking Georgia I was able to provide documentation and pull up videos on the web from all around the world proving them both to be full of shit and promoting the same agendas. Then John McCain goes on to say "I know how to fix this economy, I know how to get it done." Well, what in the hell are you waiting for... if you can fix it... FIX IT! These guy's went nuts... so I seized the opportunity and made them watch Zeitgeist Addendum while the discussion continued and I passed around document after document.
The room went silent... they watched with great interest as everything finally made perfect sense and they realized that they, like everyone else, had been scammed by outright market manipulation. Well, I loaded them up with study materials and weblinks so they had to ability to accurately share what they had learned with others.
This IS the Power of the Patriot!
Amen
It is very frustrating trying to get people you love to understand how serious things have become. Sometimes it takes baby steps.
Be prepared to offer help if things really hit the fan.
Wow, Bravo!
Like Sargent Friday used to say "Just the facts, mam" I need to get more organized with some web sites and such to hand out. This is the time to teach people need the facts and places to go get them.
Yeah, we're spread out over
Yeah, we're spread out over the country, and even across the world. I'm from NC but currently in Canada, and the C4L and Ron Paul are making waves even here.
I was watching BJ Lawson's website yesterday, noticing the names and towns of recent donors, and it amazed me - people from all over the country donating money to his campaign. That HAS to be because of the C4L, DP, and the exposure he got at the Rally - I'm sure no other person running for Congress in NC has so many donors from around the country. It encourages me that we're scattered - it means we have a wider influence. And now is our time...
Are currently, however the
Are currently, however the Free State Project is the answer to that.
Yeah, I'll be joining.. strength in numbers.

Ok done, I just
Ok done, I just joined.
Onward to liberty ehh?
Freedom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Let it ring from every mountain top. Let is rush through every valley. Let it blow to the four corner of the earth and let it wash away all our fears. Let freedom ring!
Upbeat message appreciated......
and so is the narrative from "silentboom". Yes, it does take time and patience to get the message across and it is hard to be patient when there is such a sense of urgency. I live in Boulder, Colorado which is about as liberal a communtity as you could find. But, three times already this week I have had mini-breakthrough moments with people who've heard me prattle on about monetary policy, fractional reserve banking and the Federal Reserve system for the last year. All of a sudden these topics are not "boring" anymore! All of a sudden they want me to explain it to them. All of a sudden people want to get together for dinner and pick my brain about what to do. Luckily, following Dr. Paul, and reading LewRockwell.com has really educated me with facts and a basic understanding of Austrian economics. Having facts at hand really helps.
So, perhaps this crisis has a silver lining. Perhaps this is the catalyst which gets people to listen...which gets them to research.....which gets them to think.......which gets them to question.....and ultimately gets them to rise up in the defense of our freedom and our Republic.
Remember the theory of the 100th monkey. Maybe YOU will be the one to convince the critical "100th awakening" which triggers the tipping point. Let's keep at it! No army can stop an idea whose time has come!
last night
I have a friend who was a serious Neocon. After working on him for a while very carefully and slowly over months....he asked if he could borrow Dr Paul's book, The Revolution. He's been reading it and at first got angry and tried to fight with me over foreign policy. As he moved through the book, he asked more and more questions. Last night he stopped over my house and said that he finished the sections on healthcare and the story of the congressman (If I remember right) who left Washington to start his own hotel and failed due to regulations and said he was 100% on board, he was ranting about how the government ruined health care and how they screw things up, he had that crazy look in his eye like someone who just discovered that someone had betrayed him. He was ranting about communism and socialism..... He said that he still disagrees with Dr. Paul on foreign policy, but he is almost awake. This was a guy who swore by government. He was 100% Neocon O'Reilly watcher. I was kind of shocked by it. It just shows us that we can change almost anyone if we give them the truth and deliver it to them in the right way for them to hear. I think alot of us get frustrated and want results right now, but it takes time to wake people up. We can't be too hard on ourselves but at the same time realize that time is running out.

I'm proud of you! Your
I'm proud of you! Your responsible for reforming my persona and turning it into something positive. Every move you made, every money bomb you made, every phone call you made, every donation you made, every vote you got out. Thanks for opening my eyes! Your effort won't be in vain guys!

for Liberty!

I was thinking about the quilt this morning
And wondered how you were, I've not seen you post for a while.
I'm proud of & love our patriots too.
Love conquers all
I have been here
doing a lot of reading and working on some quilts. I must admit I have been fearful this last few weeks but I guess after I blew up at a couple friends who refuse to wake up I thought I better get a grip. I now know that I have no patience for small talk. If you can keep a secret I am making a gift quilt for Michael and my hands are busy trying to get it done. I thought he could sell it to raise some money for the Daily Paul. When it is done I will have the Daily Paul family sign their names like last time (I thought that was fun).
Thanks for asking left the hurd it is so wonderful being around intelligent questioning individuals. We may not always agree but I love the variety and depth of the views on the Daily Paul. Peace
Small talk is getting
difficult for me also. My dad, (whom I "normally" can never get off the phone) has actually cut me off the last few times when I got into politics or "end times". He told me he doesn't want to hear it or he'll change the subject. Very odd. :)
He agrees the economy has been bad for a long time (he is a frugal person) and he says with his limited education how can he be smarter than these guys in congress. He also believes that land is so precious, and that when the small farmer is run out of business this country will be in trouble. Of course he has been saying these things for 30 years. He always felt that family will have to move back home together to make it go.
Where we disagree is that he cannot get past the 2-parties (life time Republican), or the fact that our government would let anything "bad" happen to our country. My older neighbors feel the same way. My biggest allie is a retired Clinton Democrat from South America (US citizen for over 40 years) who is sharing her Jessie Ventura books with me.
That's nice quiltingsando! I LOVED the last one!! :-)
