Ron Paul's Goal: 100,000 By September

Here's Ron Paul's inaugural description of his Campaign for Liberty:

Friday, June 13, 2008

Over the past 17 months you and I delivered a message of freedom, the likes of which American politics has not seen in decades. With the primary season now over, the presidential campaign has come to an end. But the Revolution has only begun.

Today I am happy to announce the official launch of the Ron Paul Campaign for Liberty. Please visit our new website and join us: http://www.campaignforliberty.com

Over the next few months I will be developing a program, assembling a team, and announcing new and exciting projects. We will have a permanent presence on the American political landscape. That I promise you.

Right now, I need your patience and support. I want the Campaign for Liberty to be a grassroots campaign; so your energy, your creativity, your feedback, and your participation are essential.

Together, we will educate our fellow Americans in freedom, sound money, non-interventionism, and free markets. We will write commentaries and broadcast videos on the news of the day. And I'll work with friends whom I respect to design materials for homeschoolers.

Politically, we will expand the great work of our precinct leader program. We will make our presence felt at every level of government. We will keep an eye on Congress, and lobby against legislation that threatens us. And we will identify and support candidates who champion our great ideas.

"In the final analysis," I wrote in my new book The Revolution: A Manifesto, "the last line of defense in support of freedom and the Constitution consists of the people themselves. If the people want to be free, if they want to lift themselves out from underneath a state apparatus that threatens their liberties, squanders their resources on needless wars, destroys the value of their dollar, and spews forth endless propaganda about how indispensable it is and how lost we would all be without it, there is no force that can stop them."

Our time has come to act on these words.

May future generations look back on our work and say that these were men and women who, in a moment of great crisis, stood up to their politicians, the opinion-makers, and the establishment, and saved their country.

For liberty,

Ron Paul

P.S. Please join me. Go to our website, www.campaignforliberty.com, and become a member of the Campaign for Liberty. Our goal is 100,000 members by September. Can we reach it?

100K by September? He'll have that number met by the end of June. A better goal would be 500K by September.

Expectation management.

Paul still could end up being pivotal in this election.

We should add another zero behind that 100,000.

We have over 25,000 confirmed supporters in less than 12 hours. The sleeping giant is awakening.

Watch out NWO... We are coming for you. All of you.

We are gonna hang you high for treason, after a trial of course.

A message to the NWO, Trilateral Commission, and CFR: The elite rich with a utopian plan to have a communist, one-world government will be crushed by the next generation of citizens and elected leaders. You can run, but you can't hide.

Marc, your link to campaign for liberty is screwed up. It matters little since the address can be re-typed since its not a coded link. But still . . .

Your link above seems not to be working so I am giving you a link that works.

Do you think If John McCain would agree to return to constitutional requirements of Federal constitutional limitations, Ron Paul would endorse him or should we prepare for U.N. control through Obama?

I know not what others may do, but as for me, give me LIBERTY or GIVE ME DEATH! Patrick Henry understood what happens when we allow our rights and freedoms to be slowly supplanted... How do they do it? They create an artificial crisis and then propose a solution making themselves heroes thereby earning the trust of an unsuspecting public. I know, I'm just paranoid... Think the corn to ethanol affecting our foods prices, etc. wasn't a cleverly laid plan? Any village idiot would had known beforehand what calamity that would create. Wake up people!

I only wish that Ron Paul would continue the race, even if he has to go "independent". I will write him in, regardless of his status, as will almost everyone I know. If everyone who supports Ron Paul and Liberty would just do this, he would have a landslide victory of popular votes. I would love to see Kucinich as his VP, also.
Two great men, who need to come together, and lead us into a new era of American history.. a new revolution.
