Tea is becoming a national craze
December 16th is almost upon us. It is not time for us to show the main stream media that we are news. It is time for us to show the main stream media that we are the news of the century. Most Ron Paul supporters do not agree with conspiracy theories, but they do believe in truths.
The government has almost no restrictions. The government can bully our telephone companies into giving up our information, put us on a “watch list”, and lock us away without giving us a reason why. These are not powers granted by the founding fathers. The government seems to think that they can edit wikipedia without us finding out, or thinks we won’t care when we do.
The media does not understand why Ron Paul raises so much money, and has a die hard following. They do not realize, that we are not fighting for a candidate, we are fighting for our Country. We want the country that our forefather’s envisioned. For once in our lives we have a chance to not vote for the lesser of two evils. We will give all we can, our money, our hearts, and our minds to a cause that we believe in 100%. Most supporters do not agree with Ron Paul’s personal views. We do agree with the fact that he does not want to force his believes on us. Ron Paul does not want to run the government, he wants to reset the government to its proper levels.
Ron Paul is basically set to raise at least 16 million this quarter, possibly 20. This means that Ron Paul will be shown as the only candidate that can compete with the democrats money raising abilities. Giuliani will probably take in what he did last quarter, if not less. McCain, and Romney will take in 8-10 million. Fred Thompson will take it 6-8 million. Mike Huckabee looks like the most he will only raise is 6 million. Hillary and Obama may raise upwards of 25 million a piece this quarter alone. This really is a significant number and just shows that the republican party needs Ron Paul even more. If Ron Paul manages to raise 5 million more than any other Republican candidate, he will literally soar in polls.
We are about to revolt against the political system, not in a violent way, but with the only way America understands… our wallets. Most Ron Paul supporters are not rich, in fact most of us are very poor. Most of us are in a category that would, by default, support “socialism”. We do not, because we realize that it has lead our country astray for far too long. I do not see what is more socialistic… taking all our money and telling us what to do, or to not tax our income at all and let us have choice. We have decided to give all we can literally, to a cause that will change our lives forever. This may be our last chance to reset this government, and country before it gets so far out of hand that it cannot be turned around. Something I personally believed until the Revolution broke out. This is not a Ron Paul Revolution, this is Our Revolution.
So I urge you to donate all that you can on December 16, a day that also happens to be my birthday, to a man who can change America. He can not do it alone, we need to win the presidency, then the senate, then congress. Does not matter what party we elect, as long as they value America’s future.

Comment by Greg on 10 December 2007:
The best way to bring about change is to put ourselves into the positions of power. We do this by putting pressure on those who currently have it, enough pressure until they are forced to get out of the way or agree with us. We do this by attacking them from the top down and from the bottom up. We already have the grassroots power in place, but they are currently relatively safe as they still reside in the upper tiers of governmental power. But once we put into place the uppermost position of power (Ron Paul as president), we will control the top and the bottom, and they will have nowhere to hide. I don’t expect RP to accomplish much during his first term. But he will definitely be putting pressure on Congress to either fall in line with his (correct) policies, or get out of the way for someone who will. In 2010 the House will fall in line. We’ll have to wait longer for the Senate, but definitely by 2012 they should all be working together.
This, of course, is all just idealistic.
