Hi Starchild,
Your dedication to Ron Paul and his Cause is certainly inspiring.
During Saturday's GOP debates, despite RP's stirring, if not show
stopping response to Diane Sawyer's last question to him as to when
should the government dictate an individual's behavior, the post-debate
"experts," whose opinions were sought, ignored RP.
Starchild, I don't want to discourage you, but I'm reminded of this
article:
"Why Ron Paul Will Not Get the Republican Nomination," by Donald
Pennington | Yahoo! Contributor Network Sun, Nov 13, 2011
The text follows:
Before any fellow Ron Paul supporters pull my head off, I am a Paul
supporter. I'm also a pragmatist. As much as I'd love to see America
return to core Constitutional values, real money and elimination of the
Internal Revenue Service, it's just not going to happen. I'm sorry. With
the recent blackout of the candidate by CBS during the last Republican
debate, it's clear now, which way the wind blows. This must be
understood.
He's been blocked and falsely maligned within almost every major media
outlet because - to put it simply - he scares the powers-that-be in
America. Perhaps we should re-focus our energies not on the impossible
candidate, but on organizing our efforts to light and maintain the fires
under the feet of whichever candidate does happen to win the presidency
in 2012, whether they are Republican or Democrat. If only we'd defended
our liberties as passionately, in the first place.
The Congressman from Texas is just too much of a threat to the financial
interests of far too many people, in silent power within the United
States. His position on ending the so-called war on drugs is like
holding a knife to the throat of a cash cow to tax-drunk bureaucracy.
His willingness to propose an elimination of the IRS and at least
auditing the Federal Reserve (from which our nation borrows our
imaginary fiat currency) upsets those who rely entirely on crony
Capitalism to put food on their own families' tables. This action alone
slaps in the face the wealthiest families on Earth.
When Ron Paul talks about ending the multiple wars we're in now, and
talks about engaging Iran in peaceful dialogue, he challenges the
superstitions and religion-fed racism still so rampant in America today.
To even suggest treating those with darker skin diplomatically enrages
our behind-the scenes Dominionists. Without an agitator of some sort in
the White House, war becomes less of an option.
In spite of the pain in my own heart to have to say it, Ron Paul will
not get the nomination. He's too good, too honest, too true to the U.S.
Constitution as the supreme law of the land. Those who have not just
their thumbs, but both hands in everyone's pies, refuse to let someone
come along and wake up the citizens to the knowledge of their own human
sovereignty. Such knowledge simply cannot be allowed to spread.

I'm not trying to be a "party pooper," but Mr. Pennington's points
cannot be dismissed.
Talk to you.

In this video, former libertarian Republican congressional candidate
(against Nancy Pelosi) John Dennis talks about his experience
participating in the Iowa caucuses for Ron Paul in 2008. I'm thinking
about flying to Iowa to do the same thing this year. The caucuses take
place on January 3.
Meanwhile, don't forget you can help Ron Paul pick up more support in
Iowa by making calls to Iowa voters via the site www.RP2012.org. The
site is nicely organized, and gives you a script and boxes to check off,
so that it's really easy to make calls and track your progress.
Love & Liberty,
