		<description>[...] Most comparisons are made between Ron Paul and Howard Dean because they are both anecdotally &#8220;internet candidates,&#8221; and has led many to wonder whether we&#8217;re in the early stages of a Howard Dean-like explosion. See Donklephant, Cadillac Tight, Ron Paul Revolution, et al. They are eerily similar: both began in obscurity, both are doctors, both are/were wildly popular on the internet, both surged in donations as a result. However, a historical comparison of their fund raising and polling returns show two very different campaigns. [...]</description>

		<description>So far Ron Paul has impressed me more than any other candidate, for one simple reason: he doesn&#039;t bullshit and gets to the roots of the issue. While other politicians wax philosophic about the Iraq war, Ron Paul comes right out and says why they attacked us. While most politicians use double-speak rhetoric about taxes, Ron Paul wants to go to the source of the problem and abolish the IRS and Federal Reserve. It&#039;s refreshing how straight to the point Ron Paul is.

I hope Ron Paul wins... we are in a golden-age of Joe Anybody having an equal voice because of the Internet, including Ron himself by leveraging You Tube and such. While media conglomerates will only feature the candidates that will most benefit them in the long run (ie: can be lobbied and bought), the everyday person has access to the most powerful and important tool we have ever seen as not only a nation, but as a whole planet.</description>

		<description>Email I sent to KFI Los Angeles &#039;johnandken@johnandkenshow.com&#039;  

(they have a strong border control bias) maybe more emails of support for the good doctor will convince them or whoever your local radio show hosts are to educate the public about Debt Money if you don&#039;t understand what this is Search Google Video &quot;Money as Debt&quot;

Message

I called your screener yesterday and asked about the lack of coverage of the Ron Paul promises, got some condescending response amounting to when he progresses significantly, will talk about him.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IWfIhFhelm8

Now either what he is suggesting is complete lunacy and you could address this, or your war on ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã…â€œillegal immigrationÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã‚? is completely inadequate, You want motivated listeners, educate them, I mean I canÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢t do it, they donÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢t get the money thing. It would seem given the info below which can be easily verified that the people in charge want a North American Union see the planned super hi- way. 

I guess this Lou Dobbs piece is madness also

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4UpJnQ_NPlU

Your trying to fight this fight from the bottom up convincing listeners who can hardly afford it to traipse the country getting in the face of their elected officials who are beholden to the people that print the money. ThatÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢s like putting a shopping cart in the way of a big rig.

This is the real evil, if you only address what is in the ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã…â€œtalking heads mediaÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã‚? you will never get to the core issue. They donÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢t want us to know --get it. The Fed Bank System and their international friends who are buying and building America out from under us. 

Its been almost 100 years since the Fed took power, the Democracy is dying, no money, no campaign, no campaign no change. They print, they own, then give it to who will further the agenda. This is simple stuff no conspiracy here even a kid could get it. Most Americans think their money is backed by gold what a joke.

Ron Paul wants to take the printing press away. No money, no road, no North American Union, no Amero, no nothing for their new plutocrasy.

You think the illegals are coming in fast now wait.

**********
The article continues, ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã…â€œAs do many modern rumors, fears of a North American Union began with a few grains of truth and leapt to an unsubstantiated conclusion.ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã‚?

So, letÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢s take their proof on its non-existance and see if we can justify those ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã…â€œgrains of truthÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã‚? and ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã…â€œunsubstantiated conclusion(s)ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã‚?

First, according to Assistant Secretary of Commerce David Bohigian, ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã…â€œÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã‚?There is absolutely no U.S. government plan for a NAFTA Superhighway of any sort.ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã‚? This is partially true. The NAFTA Super Highway will actually be built by international corporations like Cintra out of Spain and Macquarie out of Australia. The latter of which actually purchased 40 newspapers in Texas, newspapers which just so happen to be along the planned corridor route.

The master development plan for the first phase of the Trans-Texas Corridor 35 segment (TTC-35) was released. Designed by Cintra-Zachry, the plan envisions a parallel alternative toll road to I-35, funded by the private sector. The project will include multiple separate lanes for tractor trailers, passenger vehicles, commuter and freight rail as well as a utilities passageway.

Oh, and look where that is coming from, none other than the TXDOT Website.

		<description>All the more reason to push forward and promote a great American who can and will be elected if we don&#039;t give up. Whenever someone says &quot;he can&#039;t win&quot;, tell them that&#039;s because 50% of Americans don&#039;t vote. Give them a reason:
-Balanced budget
-Gold standard
-True formation for this country from the Constitution
-Non-police state
-Gov&#039;t that is going to violate our freedom with Fed ID cards</description>

		<description>I agree completely - this is Howard Dean version 2.0.  The same, Internet phenomenon, now powered by Web 2.0 .  Ron Paul will DEFINITELY be a major player in the coming months.  Whether it will be enough to win the nomination, no one knows.  This is a very interesting campaign from a sociological perspective, however... and the power of the Internet is only growing.  If RP doesn&#039;t win, the next &quot;Internet candidate&quot; surely will.</description>

		<description>Ronald Ernest Paul (born August 20, 1935) is a 10th-term Congressman, obstetrician (M.D.), and a 2008 presidential candidate from the U.S. state of Texas, seeking the nomination of the Republican Party.

As a Republican, he has represented Texas&#039;s 14th congressional district in the U.S. House of Representatives since 1997, and had represented Texas&#039;s 22nd district in 1976 and from 1979 to 1985.

Paul advocates a limited role for the federal government, low taxes, free markets, a non-interventionist foreign policy, and a return to monetary policies based on commodity-backed currency. He has earned the nickname &quot;Dr. No&quot; because he is a medical doctor who votes against the bills he believes violate the Constitution.[2] In the words of former Treasury Secretary William Simon, Paul is the &quot;one exception to the Gang of 535&quot; on Capitol Hill.[3] He has never voted to raise taxes or congressional pay, and refuses to participate in the congressional pension system.[4] He has consistently voted against the USA PATRIOT Act, the Military Commissions Act of 2006, and the Iraq War.

		<description>[...] While not *exactly* flattering of Dr. Paul, Donklephant.com, a political commentary blog,Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â  has some interesting insight into Dr. Paul&#8217;s campaign.Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â  I post this, because it confirms most of what we believe:Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â  That Ron Paul&#8217;s campaign is gaining serious momentum, , our efforts are paying off, and that Ron Paul support is being silenced because the neo-cons don&#8217;t know what to do with us: Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â Remember, we saw what a few hundred thousand dedicated people could do online in 2004. They built momentum in an otherwise boring race and the media latched on. After that, it was off to the races for Dean until his eventual implosion. And since I was part of the Dean campaign back then, IÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢m telling you that this looks EXACTLY like, but PaulÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢s is actually stronger because he has access to all of these additional online media tools like YouTube and MySpace, which gives him infrastructure he didnÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢t even have to build himself. Dean didnÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢t have this advantage, otherwise the Iowa caucuses may have turned out differently. [...]</description>

		<description>Ron Paul was not mentioned at all on Meet The Press this morning, but, Fred Thompson was characterized by Mary Matlin as the Ron Paul type candidate of choice for the conservatives.  It was pathetic to hear her use the words to describe Ron Paul and lay them on the table for everyone to see she is a Neocon promoting a counterfeit conservative, Fred Thompson. 

Fred Thompson is their choice because he supports the war and also is in charge of the Scooter Libby Defense Fundraiser.</description>

		<description>In the end I think Ron Paul will have more grassroots support than Howard Dean had.  His crossover appeal is very high, and as you point out, the evolution of the online medium - YouTube, blogs, etc. - allows him to stay firmly planted in the 24-hour news cycle.  That wasn&#039;t nearly as possible even four years ago.

I wrote an article a week or so ago about Paul&#039;s chances in the general election:

The primary will be his toughest hurdle.</description>

		<description>Where Is Rudy?

Will Ron Paul &amp; Rudy Giuliani Debate the Iraq War at Freedomfest?

The annual FreedomFest conference, has issued a debate invitation to GOP Presidential candidates Rudy Giuliani and Ron Paul to use FreedomFest ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã‹Å“07 as a debate venue to further explore their fundamental differences in foreign policy and the war in Iraq that were highlighted in the Columbia, SC debate.  

To review the debate invitation - www.freedomfest.com/debate.htm 

For more information on the July 2007 FreedomFest Conference  in Las Vegas, go to www.freedomfest.com 

So far, we have had no response from the Giuliani Campaign on the debate invitation. If you see Rudy, have him contact me about the debate invitation. 

In the meantime. e-mail Rudy and tell his staff to respond to the invitation. 

Thanks,
