Here is an e-mail I received minutes ago from national campaign headquarters. It's another wonderful message from Dr. Paul.

August 22, 2007

Not all the media are biased.  A local newspaper in New Hampshire reported on an annual GOP bbq in the town of Hollis.  It could be called "the Ron Paul show," they said, since the far bigger crowd that usual consisted mostly of our supporters.  One volunteer even rented an airplane and flew a wonderful sign around the sky.  What great, creative, self-starting people I'm meeting, at every stop, all of them united by a love of America and American freedom.

There's something happening here.

I can’t help but think of the old Buffalo Springfield song from the Viet Nam era as I examine the 2008 presidential race.

On the Democratic side it is mostly business as usual with the candidates all spouting virtually the same message. Those who are in closest alignment with the status quo lead the parade and are doing their best to marginalize and silence those who have a differing outlook on the issues.

On the Republican side it is the same way. But there is a major difference.

From NBC's Mark Murray
Our friends at Hotline made this excellent point: We all know by now that Paul has more cash on hand than McCain. But he also has more cash on hand than seven other presidential hopefuls combined (Tancredo, Brownback, Huckabee, Kucinich, Hunter, T. Thompson, and Gravel).

The only thing I didn't like was the title: Ron Paul's Warchest!

On the 7 pm PBS NewsHour a few minutes ago, Gwen Infill was interviewing a couple of political analyst types about second quarter contributions raised by the Presidential candidates. Both analysts stuck to the so-called top tier candidates.

Gwen is a good person and it seemed to me that she began structuring her questions in order to get a Ron Paul mention from either of them. Over and over I thought NOW they will HAVE to mention Ron Paul. They did not.

Last week, on CNN's Reliable Sources, host Howard Kurtz used Ron Paul as a foil to whip up support for the media favorite, Rudy Giuliani.

But we begin by turning our critical lens on the Republican presidential debate on FOX News. The most replayed sound bite by far was of Giuliani responding to Texas' congressman Ron Paul's declaration that we, the U.S., brought on the 9/11 attacks by bombing Iraq for a decade. (He then plays the tape of Giuliani's response without Paul's comments.)

I do not understand how people don't care about the sources of information anymore. This is falling right into the hands of the Mainstream Media and their desire to control what you think. Let's take the debate and the issue of why we were attacked. Dr. Paul clearly asked Guiliani if he had read either the 9-11 Commission report or the fatwa that Bin Laden penned. (Forgive me for thinking it is important to know why someone wants to kill you.) Rather than debate with facts and that little used skill set anymore, critical thinking, Guiliani attacked Paul with emotional rhetoric. Let's look at the facts:

We are ramping things up here in NH, plotting and planning for Ron and clearing the way for debates, radio programs, interviews, and other appearances with many coalition groups.

A commenter gave me an idea. While we are concentrating on early states like NH and their local groups and shows, national shows like Noory's on Coast to Coast would be a great way to get the message out to all the states. Ron can simply call in from wherever he is.

Here is how to do it..please be nice...these folks interviewed Pat Buchanan many times on his way to winning the NH Primary..

A student named James Kotecki made good use of his computer and living space for history-in-the-making.

Dr. Paul shares his background and responds to current issues.
