There is still hope for our economy, and his name is Ron Paul.

RonPaul2008.com

Today, Ron Paul put forth his “Prescription for Prosperity: Comprehensive Economic Revitalization Plan.”

Fortunately, for the looming global recession, it’s a little more involved than printing up another $140 billion out of thin air [thus increasing inflation even more] and sending everyone a check.

You want to really save your country? Donate Bush’s economic “stimulus” check to Ron Paul. Then, we might have a chance.

This is what Dr. Ron Paul has proposed:

Introduction
America became the greatest, most prosperous nation in human history through low taxes, constitutionally limited government, personal freedom and a belief in sound money. We need to return to these principles so our economy can thrive again. When enacted, my plan will provide both short-term stimulus and lay the groundwork for long-term prosperity.

Other candidates talk a lot about stimulus packages, but my record stands alone. I have fought for these measures for years as a member of Congress and will make them a top priority as president.

The Four-Point Plan

  1. Tax Reform: Reduce the tax burden and eliminate taxes that punish investment and savings, including job-killing corporate taxes.
  2. Spending Reform: Eliminate wasteful spending. Reduce overseas commitments. Freeze all non-defense, non-entitlement spending at current levels.
  3. Monetary Policy Reform: Expand openness at the Federal Reserve and require the Fed to televise its meetings. Return value to our money.
  4. Regulatory Reform: Repeal Sarbanes/Oxley regulations that push companies to seek capital outside of US markets. Stop restricting community banks from fostering local economic growth.

Ron Paul Gets SECOND place in Nevada Primary! — UPDATED

That’s right— 2nd place.

He beat McCain.
Beat Huckabee.
Beat Giuliani.
Beat Thompson.

“Ron Paul finished second in the Nevada Republican presidential caucuses today, defying recent polls that had the Texas congressman finishing in fourth, fifth or sixth place.”

Still believe the polls? Still think he can’t win?

Now, I’m a Taurus, so I understand what it means to be stubborn. But at this point— give it up my friends, it’s TIME TO BELIEVE.

Just in time for FreeAtLast2008!

01/20/08 COVERAGE UPDATE:

234 years later, the Revolution returns.

We did it again.

Ron Paul supporters raised over $6 MILLION in one day.

In case you were wondering, yes, that’s another record.

You paying attention yet, Mainstream Media? It’s gonna happen with or without you.


Click here to see a few of my pictures from the incredibly inspiring and energizing Boston Tea Party Rally.

Remember, Remember, the 5th of November.

[11/06 UPDATE: F O U R  M I L L I O N in one day. The mainstream media couldn't ignore it.]

Can you feel that?

There is revolution in the air.

We, the PEOPLE, are pissed.
We want our country back.
NOW.

Today is Guy Fawkes Day, an important event in our world’s history.

That was then.

This is now.

ThisNovember5th.com, a grassroots fund-raising campaign, is facilitating the revolution right this minute. Ron Paul is set to break the record for the most money raised online in one day. Over $2.4 MILLION has been raised since midnight and the machine is still going strong. If this was Hillary or Rudy’s campaign, it would be the top story on every news channel. But they don’t want you to know about this particular candidate, let alone foster any bit of hope that he could actually win.

[8:13PM UPDATE: The number is now well past $3 MILLION. CNN has acknowledged the story, but of course they're trying everything they can think of to discredit it. The headline on CNN.com currently says "Ron Paul claims to raise $2.7M in a day" Nice try CNN, "claims"?? Do you ever question Mitt or Giuliani when they report their fund-raising numbers?]

This is support from the grassroots. Corporations. Lobbyists. Special interest groups. The PEOPLE.

I’m constantly rendered speechless and inspired by Ron Paul, the ideas he espouses, and the grassroots campaign powering this Revolution. Because of this little old Congressman from Texas, a whole generation is learning what the ideals of this country are all about. Is this how people felt when they had JFK and MLK Jr. and Bobby Kennedy and Malcolm X to look up to?

Is this what HOPE feels like? I could get used to this.

If you’re sick and tired of being sick and tired and you want your country back— do yourself, your country, and your WORLD a favor: learn about Ron Paul.

Not from his campaign website. Go to the primary sources: read his speeches, his books, his legislation. He is not owned by the Republican Party. Or the Bankers. Or the Corporations. Or the Media. Or the CFR. Or the Secret Societies. Or the Bilderbergs. After 10 terms in Congress, he’s proven he can’t be bought. That’s why they hate him and that’s why we need him.

Don’t let the media convince you he’s a “long-shot” candidate. A lie repeated often enough doesn’t become truth unless you allow it.

Imagine…

  • A country and economy free from the grips of the Federal Reserve Bank..
  • No Federal income tax taken out of your paycheck each week..
  • Having ALL of our Constitutional Rights again..
  • Immediate withdrawal from Iraq, Afghanistan, Korea, etc..
  • No war on Iran..
  • A neutral and open Internet..
  • No National ID card..
  • No North American Union..
  • No Federal Government legislating morality..
  • A real future we can hand to our children without shame..
  • Imagine living in the Constitutional Republic our Founding Fathers & Mothers built over 200 years ago, before it was trampled by decades of abuse, neglect, and greed.

You may say I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one.

Columbus 9/11 Truth in ThisWeek Community News article

Police, fire, service leaders remember 9/11

By Candy Brooks, ThisWeek Community News

An organization called Columbus 9/11 Truth made its way to the front of the crowd with its large sign. The 9/11 truth movement questions the U.S. government’s official explanation for what happened that day, and seeks further investigation.

When the protesters first approached the speakers’ area with its sign, a few residents attempted to push them out of the way. Quickly and quietly, police officers stopped what could have become a confrontation, and peace prevailed.

Not only was our presence prominently featured in the article, there is no use of the phrase “conspiracy theorists” or anything pejorative (yes, apparently now theorizing has a negative connotation) we usually expect to see in mainstream media mentions.

Here are a few pictures from the event:

General Strike: 9/11/07

Why strike? Why on 9/11?

September 11 is a day of mourning and reflection, but it should also be a day of dissent and action.

Since the tragics events of 9/11/01, America has fallen under a spell of fear and deception. The government peddles lies and steadily chips away at our democratic rights. Hundreds of thousands have been killed in the Iraq war—mostly civilians. Torture, surveillance, tyranny, empire. Many of us can recognize the fascistic direction of this government. But what do we do?

The time has come to let go of our fear—to stand up to lies and tyranny with passion and urgency. To connect with others and show our collective power. It’s time to realize that we’ve got nothing to lose. The time is now.

The General Strike is a national call to action, from citizens to other citizens. It is not about a single issue. It is not an anti-war protest, a civil rights protest, an election fraud protest. It is not about torture, surveillance, corporate media, the 9/11 coverup, or the environment. This strike is about all these issues and more.

We all have different concerns, but we all have the same concern: we are being lied to and this government does not represent us. Join other Americans in demanding truth, justice, and accountability.

This our country.
And our world.
We just have to stand up.

A National Call to Action: Tuesday, September 11th, 2007
No school. No work. Buy nothing. Hit the streets.

Stop your life for 64 minutes and watch this.

WE.

Inspired by Arundhati Roy‘s “Come September” speech, this documentary was created.

It’s 64 minutes of music, life, death, war, peace, history, future, everything. It’ll knock you over… but when you get back up, you’ll be stronger than ever.

“Either way, change will come. It could be bloody, or it could be beautiful. It depends on us.”
- Arundhati Roy
