Ron Paul Republicans on the rise in NC
This is important because while Lawson faces an uphillclimb in a heavily
Democratic district, just the fact he won the district puts it Ron Paul’s hands. Given the way the GOP divies up its delegates to its national convention by Congressional District, controlling a district is a big deal and means Ron Paul’s Republicans are going to have influence and power within the party in the future regardless what happens this fall.

Housing Market Crash Predicted By Ron Paul And Alan Greenspan
Paul also knew that malinvestment caused by government intervention in any sector of the economy would lead to disaster. Making a statement before the Financial Services Committee of the House of Representatives in September of 2007, Paul said, "The housing boom was caused by the Federal Reserve's policy resulting in artificially low interest rates. Consumers, misled by low interest rates, were looking to consume, while homebuilders saw the low interest rates as a signal to build, and build they did." The larger the bubble, the more malinvestment would occur, and the more severe the correction would have to be.

RON PAUL NEEDS A NEW CONGRESS. LET'S GIVE IT TO HIM!
Whether he wins the nomination and becomes president or not, for the
Revolution to succeed, Ron Paul absolutely needs a new Congress. There is only one way to give it to him: Fire the old one.
The Revolution has tremendous momentum in the minds of Americans, regardless of the lull in campaign donations, press coverage, and campaign activity. Nothing of this magnitude has ever happened in the last forty years. In order to make our combined effort a resounding success - and quickly - we need to agree on only a very small set of ground rules:

2008 & Counting
Sen. John McCain, the GOP’s presidential candidate, has a headache
that threatens to turn into a convention migraine.
Even though the Arizona senator secured enough delegates to claim the nomination in early March, Rep. Ron Paul’s (R-Texas) vocal and zealous supporters have given no indication they or their champion are ceding ground.
But since then Paul supporters have disrupted and shut down state conventions, and McCain has struggled to win the primaries in a convincing manner reflecting the fact that the race is over.

Ron Paul on “The Revolution”
When asked where he sees the government headed, Paul said he thinks the U.S. is “moving more towards fascism” than lawlessness because of growing governmental intervention in the form of “big corporations,” “secret prisons, and the loss of habeus corpus.” He said he thinks that “the empire will end” because the U.S. cannot sustain its present course and continue to finance its global objectives.

Ron Paul Uprising
As the mainstream media obsesses over the Democratic Party’s brewing
civil war, supporters of Republican presidential candidate US Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, are already staging their own quiet uprising at GOP conventions across the nation.
If, by a strange twist of fate, the Republicans’ presumptive nominee, US Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., fails to win the first ballot at the national convention, “all hell will break loose,” one Santa Fe County delegate tells SFR.

Ron Paul, The Revolution, and Ending Abuses and Usurpations
Instead, Dr. Paul politely, laconically, but frankly lays it on the line for his
countrymen: America is in significant
and potentially catastrophic trouble economically, financially, and militarily; the country’s political class is homogenous, gutless, and ill-educated; its two major parties do not offer a nickel’s worth of difference on important issues, especially foreign policy [pp. 2, 26, 163]; and our leaders are consciously negating parts of the Constitution, compromising America’s national sovereignty, and circumscribing the liberties of Americans. But then, astoundingly and correctly, Dr. Paul does not say "Only I can fix this mess" – as have Senators Clinton, Obama, and McCain – he says: "Only you, the American people, can fix this mess." Dr. Paul confronts Americans with a reality that ought to both chill and inspire them.

B.J. Lawson easily defeats Augustus Cho
B.J. Lawson, endorsed by Ron Paul, overwhelmingly won tonight’s primary contest for U.S. Rep District 4 in North Carolina with over 70% of the vote. The best part about this victory is that his neocon opponent, Augustus Cho, openly attacked Dr. Lawson during a February debate for being a Ron Paul Republican.

Fans embrace Paul's message: GOP presidential candidate elaborates on limited-government antiwar principles...
"This country is in need of and ready for the message of liberty," Paul
said to applause. "The most important part of the constitution was written to restrain the government."
Paul labeled McCain, and the Democratic presidential candidates, New York Sen. Hillary Clinton and Illinois Sen. Barack Obama, as pro-war and bought and paid for by the Establishment. While Obama opposed invading Iraq, Paul's criticism is based on Obama voting to fund the war and not ruling out invading Iran.
"All we're looking at today is the disintegration of our empire and the bankruptcy of this country," Paul said in a pre-speech news conference. "That's why our dollar is going down and the commodity prices are going up and gasoline's up."

Ron Paul Spends Cinco de Mayo with 1500 Hoosiers
Driving about a hundred
miles from my home just north of South Bend, on the radio I heard political ads, which amounted to bickering between the two Democratic candidates. They argued who is going to do more for me as the next president. They both kept saying how they're going to give me "free" health care and provide a rosy future based more government largess.

Missouri
Many of your fellow Ron Paul supporters in Missouri had to attend
“credentials hearings” yesterday to prove that they were “true Republicans” so that they could keep the delegate status they had earned in earlier Missouri Republican meetings. The first thing that pops up in your mind is probably the first thing that popped up in mine - we are the true conservatives, and the principles we defend are the core ideas of the Republican Party.

The crowd at the “Freedom Rally” Monday night filled up 700 chairs, leaving standing room only for the remaining 300 people. One homemade sign read, “STR8 BALL-A.”
Purchasing the books for relatives will help them see that “we elect clowns,” he said. “We have three mental midgets (running for president) right now, not one can you trust if you turn your back.”

Ron Paul’s new book is a MUST READ for all Americans!!! The Revolution: A Manifesto.
It is mind-blowing how much money we are blowing on our empire. Dr. Paul puts it all on the table for those who care about the real issues and not the fake game played by the establishment of both political parties. Why do we have troops in 130 countries? What are we still in Korea 55 years after the war? This was not meant to be permanent! Why do we borrow from Europe in order to help protect Europe? Why do we borrow from Japan to help protect Japan?

An Open Letter to Ron Paul Supporters
Most Republican officials and party hacks have been criticizing the legion
of constitutional Paul supporters in state delegate conventions already. The only way to change their opinions and refute the current neo-conservative thinking in the party is to become policy wonks.
Paul supporters need to immerse themselves in the inner working of the financial market and the economy in general. Just knowing the Fed is unconstitutional will not help the movement, the constant Fed watch and the diagnosis of every policy, is in order to win the "hearts and minds" of the American citizenry.

Paul Campaign Never Ended, Spokesman Says
"He put out a video in which he said victory in the conventional sense
was not available to us, but there was still much the campaign could try to accomplish," Ron Paul 2008 spokesman Jesse Benton said yesterday. "People in the press reported that as him dropping out when he was not dropping out."
"If it was just for the presidency, it would have ended a long time ago," says supporter Tom Martin, 50, a database administrator from State College, Pa. "The idea was to reinvigorate the Republican Party back to its principles and, more than that, to reinvigorate the American people back to its principles."

Ron Paul, John McCain, And A Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On...
The Republican party is marginalizing the very notions that the Republican party once stood for. The party itself is ignoring the Constitution, disregarding its own ideological history, and behaving both immorally and without honor and without a love of individual liberty and country. The Republican party has become its own monstrosity, a monster preoccupied with its own survival and its own agenda and its own needs and desires for power and prestige and control. The
Republican party has become just like the federal government, a large, self-appointed repository of power, completely separated from the intent of the original founders and framers, a place where bubble-up from the people power is overrun by top-down directive and control. It has become an evil, un-American power network infected with the same willful hubris that it once claimed to oppose. It is in it for itself, and not for the American people. It is hypocrisy wrapped in hypocrisy, covered in hypocrisy and submerged in a sea of hypocrisy.

Ron Paul: Big Government Responsible for High Gas Prices
In the past few months, American workers, consumers, and businesses
have experienced a sudden and dramatic rise in gasoline prices. In some parts of the country, gasoline costs as much as $4 per gallon. Some politicians claim that the way to reduce gas prices is by expanding the government’s power to regulate prices and control the supply of gasoline.

The Ron Paul Strategy
Delegates will soon begin to think about what this means for the fall
campaign. As soon as they do, however, nightmares may replace their dreams of victory. They will have visions of Democrats playing the tape of McCain’s little jig on "bomb bomb bomb bomb Iran," to the tune of "Bar Bar Bar Barbara Ann" over and over again, until that tune together with McCain’s words are singing in the head of every voter in the country. They will then flood the country with ads featuring McCain’s comment about staying in Iraq for "a hundred, "a thousand," and even "a million" years," until McCain is not only identified as the "war candidate," but the "candidate of endless war."

Beyond McCain: Ron Paul's supporters hope to reshape the GOP
The GOP is the party of limited government. It's the party that touts
fiscal responsibility. It claims to be the party of principle. The Minnesota Republican Party puts a premium on loyalty, yet it doesn't bind national convention delegates to its caucus presidential poll. So why is the state GOP being so hard on Ron Paul supporters with track records of supporting limited government, fiscalconservatism and loyal service to Republican candidates?
While the GOP leadership takes a dim view at best of pesky Paulites crashing the party, in the more free-wheeling blogosphere Republican faithful, even those disagreeing with some of Paul's positions, say Paul and his supporters have sent a wake-up call to GOP leadership.

Ron Paul and Benjamin Franklin: Doctors of Capitalism
Sandwiched between the Poor Richard writings of Benjamin Franklin and the current publication of Ron Paul’s “The Revolution: A Manifesto”, we find a period of intense historical interest and confusion, one that has brought to a pimplehead of putrefaction the build-up of white corpuscles that has grown in size as the Republic has degenerated from its Libertarian, Capitalistic roots, to a totally controlled, collectivist-nanny state.

Mo GOP targeting 300 pro-Ron Paul at Monday ‘credentials meeting’
At the meeting, according to the email, about 300 of the 1,900 elected

“The state Central Committee spent approximately $1,000 on certified mailings that do not even state the allegations,” said the email sent from one challenged delegate. “A small group of insiders in the Missouri Republican Party are attempting to prevent delegates, properly elected at their county caucuses, from attending the state Convention in Branson…

Massive Letter Writing Campaign to Ron Paul
If Dr. Paul endorses McCain, he sacrifices principle. If he endorses the
Libertarian or Constitution Party candidate he loses influence with the Republican Party. If he endorses a third party candidate, he is supporting a party he has previously considered not viable enough to enter himself.
Dr. Paul has the potential to change political history. With his best-selling book, the inroads he has already made, the news of his third party run (it is an item the media is very interested in), and his reinvigorated supporters, he would be a force the media could not successfully suppress.
Dr. Paul has never absolutely rejected a third party run. Just as he reluctantly ran for the Republican nomination, he can be persuaded to run Libertarian if he sees it is best for liberty and our country.

Maine GOP Convention...what a disgrace!
A fancy "hollywood style" McCain Video was shown during the convention but an effort to allow a RP video was denied. They eventually agreed to show a RP video during the lunch recess on the second day (yes during lunch when nobody was in the convention hall). Even this video appeared to have been edited for content by the party elite. Platform amendments based upon conservative principals and the language of the Constitution were voted down. Then, after the proposals were defeated, the very delegates responsible for this gave standing ovations to commentator Cal Thomas when he spoke of THE EXACT SAME THINGS during his speech to the convention body.

Ron Paul's Delegate Wars (IV)
Other eyes as well. Even the "luminaries" of the Trilateral Commission,
at their Apr. 25-28 meet in Washington, DC (reports American Free Press) "expressed concern that Paul's rallies have attracted multitudes of young people who are getting 'their political education.' They want Republicans to pressure Paul to drop out now and stop his education rallies. This assignment was given to Thomas Foley, former U.S. House speaker."
Good luck to him. Paul is clearly enjoying the campaign, and has no intention of conceding before the National Covention. As he told CNN's Roberts: "What's the sense of having a convention if everything is decided?"

Military donations to anti-war candidates rise
During the reporting period, Paul — a former Air Force surgeon who
broke with his party to vote against the Iraq war — received the most military contributions, with $201,271.
That’s significantly more than the presumptive Republican nominee, Sen. John McCain from Arizona, who received $132,133 from military donors, according to CRP.
“I think that our fighting men and women want to protect America, defend our Constitution and defend our borders,” said Jesse Benton, a spokesman for Rep. Paul’s campaign. “I think they’re sick and tired of being sent overseas on these police actions and getting caught in the middle of these civil wars, and want someone like Ron Paul speaking sense.

The rebel forces of Paul -- Ron Paul -- organize to resist John McCain
Eric Herzik, a political scientist at the University of Nevada, Reno, said
the disruption reflected, among other things, that McCain had "yet to capture the hearts and minds of Nevada Republicans." Previously, Paul forces had elected about one-third of the delegates to the Missouri state Republcan convention.
All of which suggests there might be some drama or at least confrontations in St. Paul at the GOP's national convention in September after all.

PRIMARY: Ron Paul
The Republican Party has not fulfilled its promise to shrink the size of
government and restore our Constitutional Republic. Instead, deficits have exploded, entitlements are out of control, and our personal liberties are threatened. I believe that the solution to our problems can be found in Americans being as free and prosperous as possible. We need a president who will hold the federal government to abiding by the Constitution. I would focus on returning America to a sound monetary policy, strengthening our national security and ending our interventionist foreign policy, and stopping the abuses of our civil liberties.

None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free.
Later, when that still took too long, the majority voted to forgo any

Among them was a proposal to adopt gold and silver as legal tender, abolish the IRS, conduct an audit of the gold at Fort Knox and repeal all federal firearm laws.
That one was soundly defeated.

GLOBAL ELITE GATHER IN D.C. - PETRIFIED ABOUT PAUL
While they are confident they can deal with any “potential president,”
the Trilateralists paid huge tribute to Ron Paul in an equally large twist of irony, by expressing alarm that he is causing “significant future damage.”
They expressed concern that Paul’s rallies have attracted multitudes of young people who are getting “their political education.” They want Republicans to pressure Paul to drop out now and stop his education rallies. This assignment was given to Thomas Foley, former U.S. House speaker.
The reasons Paul’s “education campaign” strikes fear into Trilateral hearts are obvious. Paul would refuse to surrender an ounce of U.S. sovereignty to an international organization and TC wants world government.
