Yes, YOU.

I’m asking you flat out.
I’m questioning your patriotism.

Do you REALLY support the troops?

Then the question of who should be the next President of the United States is quite simple.

We’re quickly approaching the FIVE YEAR commemoration of the invasion and occupation of Iraq. This argument is well beyond a question of whether or not you sport a yellow ribbon on the back of your car. It’s beyond whether you think we should “stay the course”, set a timetable for leaving, or get out immediately. It’s beyond being a Democrat, Republican, Independent, Green, Libertarian, etc. It’s about being an AMERICAN and a HUMAN BEING.

The fact is— every day that passes is another day our soldiers are being killed and maimed.

“The greatest purveyor of violence in the world today is my own government.”
- Martin Luther King, Jr.

If you claim to support the troops, if not the war itself, shouldn’t you also support the candidate the troops support the most? The man who will bring them home NOW, still ALIVE?

It’s not Barack. It’s not Hillary. It’s not McCain. It’s Ron Paul.

Any excuses— dismissals of “he can’t win”, “I’m not a Republican”, or lapses in electoral faith are not going to save our troops. Understandable lapses in faith, of course. But in the end: YOU know who YOU voted for.

The Ron Paul Revolution is far from over. Not because Primary Day hasn’t yet arrived. Not because the Republican National Convention hasn’t come. Not because Election Day hasn’t arrived. But because our troops are still over there. Iraq, Afghanistan, Korea, Africa… They’re everywhere but HERE. That is why I REFUSE to throw in the flag for the Revolution, and I hope the rest of you will do the same.

So I’m calling you out. Let me ask you again:

Do YOU support the troops?
PROVE IT.

Vote for Ron Paul.

Sidenote: If this post makes you uncomfortable, angry, whatever— if you think your chosen candidate DOES enable you to honestly say you support the troops, please leave me a comment and refute my accusations, I welcome your thoughts!
