Concur with T Smith. The American voter is still comatose and the proof is in the number of stimulus bills passed without howls of protest from them. Their savings, investments and retirement have all been reduced in purchasing power and yet they are content to watch the television, their sports and their news media which, as most have not figured out, is an extension of the entertainment system. When's the last time someone went to the public library for a non-fiction book on politics or economics? When's the last time someone protested against government policy. Granted we had a few the other day sing a song ridiculing Obama, but that's small in comparison to the numbers who protested against Dubya.

The tipping point will arrive. Have faith.

I actually agree with you. The tipping point will arrive. But what to do then? When the tipping point does come, that will be only the starting point of reclaiming a just government. We should certainly begin the discussion of what comes next. There is no reason to believe the entrenched powers will lay down just because the people reach a point that results in the selection of a candidate that truly represents the interests of the people, and one who will not succumb to establishment.

Maybe it would help if we started a serious grass roots campaign to boycot electronic voting machines. We could pass out flyers with information on how flawed they are. I already have my Ron Paul 2012 flyers written up on Microsoft Word. Is there any way to upload Word documents so Avalonians can see them?

I love him.

Ron Paul is the real deal. I came across him about seven years ago while researching American money. Even then he was a consistent breath of fresh air, always speaking truth and refusing to be bought. It was disheartening to see him so effectively shut down by the mainstream media in the presidential primaries of the 2008 election. It was clear then that he was the people's choice, and it was also clear that the controllers would never let him succeed. He would have been quietly assassinated had the captive press failed to neutralize him, probably by an EM weapon designed to deliver a fatal heart attack, and no one would realize a murder had taken place.

The only change we will ever see is the illusory change promised by Obama, unless we create the change we wish to see in the world. No one else will do it for us. Ever.

I've thought the exact same thing. However, I'm not so sure the mainstream media will be able to shut him down as effectively in a 2012 run. Many more people are awake this time around, and his message has tremendous momentum. I foresee rigged elections shutting him down this time around, followed by the sudden "heart attack", should the rigged elections somehow fail.

Ron Paul must realize this. Yet it looks like he will still run. The man has tremendous courage and integrity.

Love the man since late 2007. Have followed his amazingly quirky campaign as I thought at that time. Only to find myself refreshing my browser every 20 seconds to see the rate at which moneybombs would grow a few months later. We would all be smart to aspire to enlighten our own friends and family even a fraction as he has done with a nation. I hope he runs and am convinced that if he is shutdown, events could spiral out of control and correctly so, because he is a moral giant and unequated in (international) politics.

My favourite. Give me some chills everytime:

My sentiments exactly! I think that even if it looks grim, even if it's likely that the PTB would interfere in some way it's still worth fighting for because the conspiracy to interfere could be exposed. I think it is likely that it would be exposed because the number of awake and aware people has grown so much since 2008! It is worth fighting for! Don't give up because the PTB are dishonest and powerful! If we do that then they have already won...

Ron Paul's thoughts exactly, I'm sure. And hence he enters the ring knowing full well his very life is at stake.

People refrain from doing things because they have children and they consider that is ''too much to lose'' but that is an excuse for cowardice.
If you have kids and you aren't part of the solution, you are leaving it for them to clean up.
We should feel we have an obligation to leave this world in a better state than when we got here.

We have to stop these wars instigated by America. I want this thread to continue because I think Ron Paul is the best chance we've got. I refer you to a thread started by ktlight that has a great report from RT on the escalation of conflict in Libya. Of course Ron thinks it should never have been any of our business in the first place. Good ol Ron.

Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, whose outspoken libertarian views and folksy style made him a cult hero during two previous presidential campaigns, will announce on Tuesday that he's going to try a third time.

Sources close to Paul, who is in his 12th term in the House, said he will unveil an exploratory presidential committee, a key step in gearing up for a White House race. He will also unveil the campaign’s leadership team in Iowa, where the first votes of the presidential election will be cast in caucuses next year.

Paul, 75, ran as the Libertarian Party candidate in 1988, finishing with less than one half a percent of the vote. After more than a decade as a Republican congressman, Paul gave it another shot in the 2008 presidential election, gaining attention for being the only Republican candidate calling for the end to the war in Iraq and for his “money bomb” fundraising strategy, which brought in millions of dollars from online donors in single-day pushes.

Paul took 10 percent of the vote in the Iowa caucuses and 8 percent in New Hampshire’s primary. He finished second, with 14 percent of the vote, in the Nevada caucuses, and eventually finished fourth in the Republican nominating process with 5.6 percent of the total vote. Paul’s campaign book, The Revolution: A Manifesto also reached No. 1 on The New York Times best-seller list in 2008.

This would seem to be an ideal year for Paul: Since the last election, the Republican Party has moved much closer to his view on deficit reduction, which made him an early tea party favorite. All of the party's top-tier presidential hopefuls are focusing on lowering debt, government spending, and tax rates, issues Paul has long advocated.

We can do it guys! Campaign hard!

[dddanieljjjamesss]

I don't trust him, I'm sorry.
And its because I agree with him 100%.
I'm not willing to be tricked again
and we have no need for presidents or the government.

[giovonni]

It's getting very hard to believe or trust anything flowing from the tongues of any politicians these days.
One has to wonder if any of this will even matter in the coming days ?

[AlternativeInfoJunkie]

Don't give up! If Ron Paul flips and changes his values once he gets in office (hypothetical) it will wake even MORE people up! Think logically you guys. it's a win / win. period.

[Chicodoodoo]

I believe Ron Paul is the real deal, but our system of elections is not. The system is so corrupt, any legitimate candidate that would challenge the corruption would never have a chance.

[PHARAOH]

He will get my contribution, vote and support. Ron Paul is well liked and supported within the hip hop community as well.

[norman]

I thought they put a 'black' president into the whithouse to take the cultural hit of a collapse of America.

If they think he can't win again, they may well want to let Ron Paul have the gig from hell instead.

[crosby]

right on...... i am 100% behind Ron Paul. his platform speaks loudly and is against everything that we've been facing up till now. i think he has a super huge following and it keeps getting bigger. spread the word...... this could be the awakening for the rest of the masses.
warmest regards, corson
