NH

Here, thanks to some number crunchers from the FSP who live in NH, is another way to see that NH actually did have a higher percent that one might think:

First, NO other state with a Primary shows Ron Paul Paul over 7%

New Hampshire - 8%
New York - 7%
Michigan & Tennessee - 6%

Before any results were in, Jason Sorens, FSP founder, stated:

I just got off the phone with Bev Harris of Black Black Voting. She is currently on the ground in New Hampshire. She has been working to verify the integrity of the election process for the recount that is occuring on both the Democratic and Republican sides.

However, we urgently need observers to videotape and photograph the process. Unfortunately, it's becoming clear we will be unable to do this without trusted volunteers and the necessary resources.

According to the official letter that Albert Howard signed, the cost is $55,600 for the recount of approximately 240,000 ballots.
The Secretary of State must receive the money in the form of a certified check by 3 PM tomorrow January the 15th.

Go to http://grannywarrior.chip... to donate. We need a major effort of all to raise this money by the deadline.

Spread the word, blog about it, send e-mails , get on the phone, do everything you can to make this happen.

When we have come this far, don't leave us hanging...

I trust you do your best.

Albert Howard

In this video, Chris observes some on-the-ball Paulites (that he did not know were going to be there) confront Luntz about his manipulative methods without knowing that Chris has just made an audio file with evidence of Luntz attempting to influence the 'focus' group that Chris attended on the 6th which will be posted later on his website.

Here is the first video, with a longer one to come, of RP speaking to the people who came to hear him at the Liberty Forum. Last year, he'd spoken at their closing ceremony on a Sunday in February. We'd had the big 'party' the Saturday night before to start him on the $$ and to get him to run - hard to imagine how far we've come in a year.

Please DIGG it also!

Here is the CNN clip where Bob Barr and Richard Viguerie speak up for RP and the NH GOP is still negotiating. I will look for that one too, with Fergus being interviewed.

Since it was just confirmed that Dr. Paul will attend, I thought I'd post the links to where you can buy tickets to this 11 AM event in Milford, NH.

Many of you were concerned about who was going to watch the ballot box on January 8th in NH. Once again, I am relaying a message that comes from the campaign, through Jim Forsythe the person who gave the veterans speech at the Tea Party.

For those of you who want to know what the volunteers in NH are up to and how visible they are, Drew Cline writes about the daily goings-on of each campaign. Here is the latest of his columns from the paper that has not hit the web yet.

Apparently this person thinks Ron Paul may beat Rudy in the NH primary...

Nice article on the making of the blimp.

This is an open letter to all Dear Ron Paul supporters:

I am sure that many of you are sick of me posting about how many ads I hear each day, how many phone calls are made to my land line, and how many mailers I have gotten. But it's true. We have a wide ranging and well-organized campaign going on here in NH despite what the media has sometimes inferred in their 'reporting'. There has been some concern about the 'grassroots' and about things they are thinking of doing outside the campaign. Here is some advice that agrees with mine, from Dr. Jim Forsythe, one of the Meetup organizers and the fellow who made the great speech at Tea Party Boston. He also works with the campaign very closely and knows what goes on. I hope you will take his advice.

Too Much of a Good Thing?

I wanted to post an update of what is going on in New Hampshire, since all eyes seem to be focused on us. I’ve seen e-mails, posts, blogs, etc, about the campaign in New Hampshire that seem to bear little relation to reality, so I wanted to try to provide a counterbalance to those posts.

We are in the middle of a good old fashioned January snowstorm here and I've just done at least 3 hours of shoveling and snowblowing. I checked my snailmail box and found 3 more full color flyers, each dealing with a different issue..this makes about 15. Last night I got my 12th phone call.

I am glad to see Dr. Paul getting out to his appts just fine. Here is this morning's interview with Laura Knoy on the "The Exchange" on NHPR.

Ron spoke last night in Concord, NH. Thanks to 'Biker Bill' from NH for this video...

(This is now updated to the full version!)

This is the man we know and love, so humble and sweet. The full event I assume will be televised on C-Span 2 on Friday, December 21st at 9pm ET according to their schedule...

There are too many to post, but if you go here and check out OLFDchannel (that's the username) you can get a flavor for what it was like to brave a blizzard on the coast and ride to Boston to take part in the festivities. Check out all their videos.

Here is one: http://www.youtube.com/wa...

The write-up is already negative...he has more volunteers here than any other candidate, and has raised more than $10M to date, yet "he faces tough competition from his Republican competitors who have more staff, more money and more media exposure."

I'm scratching my head on this since he can't keep up with media requests, and thanks to the internet and his campaign efforts, has more exposure than anyone, especially in NH what with the 6 mailings, 8 phone calls, and 6 radio ads and 4 tv ads that are constantly airing around us.

This article is by Jack Kenny, a really great writer who once did a regular column for the Union Leader when it used to be a good independent newspaper under the Loebs. He is truly 'one of us'.

It is a 'who's who' mixture of people including newbies like Trevor Lyman and oldies of NH political scene such as myself. Jack was the only reporter to show up at our party back in February where I truly believe that almost 200 people helped convince Ron to give up part of his life and time to run for president, for the benefit of our country and all of us.
