Who is Ron Paul?

Who is Ron Paul? by Jayel Aheram.
I attended the California GOP State Republican convention in Indian Wells today, in support of Ron Paul, a 10-term Republican from Texas.

Who is he? Well, he is one of the few politicians in Congress who can truly be described as having integrity. For the past 20 years, he has been consistent in his principles and has a voting record to reflect such integrity.

He shares the reverence for the Constitution as I do. He is extremely popular with young people, appeals to Democrats, and people who tire of the endless war in Iraq.

He is against the war in Iraq and his reason is founded in the Constitution.

Join the Ron Paul Revolution. Watch this video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=AFfdB5OzlyQ

UPDATE: Notes on the convention.

Supporters of Ron Paul are as varied as they come. A lot of very old folks who remember the time when the Republican used to be for small government and lower taxes and adhering to the Constitution. And many young voters, who yearn for the very same liberties their parents and grandparents enjoyed. It was also a mix from very different backgrounds and different races. And different political spectrum.

There was a lady who was a lifelong Democrat who had never participated in a campaign who had registered as a Republican in order to campaign and support Ron Paul.

There was a man who had never voted in his life and now is inspired by Ron Paul's message of life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness.

Oh, and they are actually educated on the issues. They can articulate, with passion tempered with logic and reason, why they support Ron Paul. It has been said that Ron Paul supporters are obnoxious. We are. It speaks volume to the man that he can inspire such enthusiastic support.

This man has my vote. I am registering as "republican" just so that I can vote for him in the primary.

He has my vote as well. The thing that is the most striking today was the difference between the attitudes of the Ron Paul supporters and the rest. We were actually discussing the issues and policies and we can actually articulate using reason and logic why we support Ron Paul. Most of the supporters of Rudy seem to do so because it was the cool thing to do. It was sad.

Now that Barak has said some things that turned me way off from him, this guy now potentially has my vote, and I'm generally a pretty hardcore democrat!

Ron Paul has such a cross-party appeal. And the reason? "Freedom is popular." Look into him, google him. Watch the videos on YouTube, made by his supporters. The one by Aravoth is one of the best one made for Ron Paul.

I've done a lot of research on Ron Paul. I've really liked what I've seen. I just honestly don't think that America is "smart" enough to vote for him, so I don't think he'll make it past the primary. Sad, I think he would do wonderful things for this great country!

I disagree Manymeez. Ron Paul's support is growing and his campaign is gaining momentum. He is now in people's radar.

Did you see the Fox News debate last wednesday? Ron Paul actually made it into a debate worth watching.

I disagree as well. I think Ron Paul has a very good chance. The netroots and grassroots are doing very well and I think the campaign is just on the verge of breaking out into the mainstream.

Exactly, Bringo. He is not exactly the favorite of mainstream media, but people ar ehearding about him through the internet and word-of-mouth. The fact that he is winning straw poll after straw poll can attest to that.

Well, I hope I'm wrong....but I'll be quite surprised if it's Hillary and Ron or Ron and Obama on the final ticket. I just don't see it happening. But it would be excellent if it did!

Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Freedom Book, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

Freedom Book is a collaborative photography collection documenting the movement protecting our freedoms.

Once we have received enough high quality photos, we will start the editing process. At this time, we are targeting to have 80+ high quality photos in the book. All photos selected for the book will include their contributor’s information.

When the book has been completed, we will put it into production. All profits will be contributed to a high ranking grant applicant.

Thanks!

Bryan
