Breaking News - Paul Won't Endorse McCain

Finally! Dr. Ron Paul is getting some well-deserved press coverage of late. He was on CNN's morning show the other day, a FOX radio show, and numerous local radio shows in states with upcoming primaries. Today, on Wolf Blitzer's CNN show, The Situation Room, he interviewed Dr. Paul and tried unsuccessfully to get him to admit he should fall in line behind John McCain for the sake of party unity. Ron Paul, however, is smarter and tougher than any Wolf, and eloquently spoke about his core platform as only a true statesman can do.

Update on The Revolution

It looks like Dr. Paul's new book will debut at #7 on the New York Times bestseller list next week. Those numbers track last week's sales - BEFORE the book was officially released. It's still holding steady at #1 on Amazon.

Here's a message from the good doctor himself, announcing the release of the book today:

The Revolution: A Manifesto is #1 on Amazon!

Dr. Ron Paul's latest book, entitled "The Revolution: An Manifesto" was officially released today. Already, it is at #1 on Amazon.com lists of bestsellers and hot new releases. It is interesting to note that this occurred without the help of Oprah and her book club! Every American should read this, no matter where you think you fall on the political spectrum. Its message is timeless and applies to every American!

Dr. Paul attended a pre-release booksigning at Borders bookstore in NYC a few days ago, and it was reportedly the largest booksigning the store had ever seen! They sold out of all their copies before Dr. Paul even arrived at the store (after telling the campaign earlier to expect to sell around 50 copies).

This book is HUGE! Here are a couple of reviews:

by Scott Horton on LewRockwell.com

by Barry Goldwater, Jr (scroll down just a bit)

by Walt Thiessen on the nolanchart.com

by Thomas Woods on thenewliberty.com

Readers' reviews on Amazon.com - Currently has received nothing but 5-star ratings!

Pat Buchanan's Take on John McCain

In this article, Patrick J. Buchanan wonders whether the GOP base will sit at home in November because of lack of enthusiasm for their candidate. Remember, John McCain has only won 43% of the GOP vote so far, and that's including states where voting took place after Romney and/or Huckabee dropped out of the race. He lost 27% of the vote in Pennsylvania even though the media and the GOP had declared him the presumptive nominee (many times leaving out the word 'presumptive' altogether). A candidate who had dropped out and another who voters were convinced had dropped out should never have been able to capture more than a few votes between them. However, Huckabee got 11% and Ron Paul got 16%.

GOP conventions at this stage of the game are supposed to be about rallying around the party's nominee and getting ready to beat the Democrats in November. If John McCain and the GOP believe that he has the deal all sewn up, then why are they shutting down the Ron Paul supporters every step along the way? Why did they pack up and leave the Nevada state convention when they realized they'd be sending anywhere from 7 - 22 delegates to St. Paul who would rather vote for Ron Paul than John McCain. If he has the pledged delegates as reported in the media, what harm would this miniscule number of Ron Paul delegates do?

The answer is simple. They know that not all of the delegates he is claiming are truly pledged to vote for him. They know that primaries and caucuses are nothing more than glorified straw polls. The party rules state that the nominee is chosen by the delegates at the national convention. Each state party has rules on how their delegates must vote, but these rules can be changed at their state conventions. The GOP and John McCain know full well that anything can happen between now and September and that his nomination is anything but wrapped up. This is the only possible explanation for their behavior and their attacks on members of their own party to prevent Republicans who favor a different candidate from taking part in the nomination process.

An Inspiring Patriot's Story

Many have questioned my decision to work to get Ron Paul elected as president and to help spread his message of freedom. It's sometimes difficult to express the answer as to why I feel so strongly about it and how my thinking has completely changed. Here's a guy who taped his response, and I could never have said it any better:

All Hands on Deck!

July 12, 2008 will go down in history as the day when the sovereign people of this country were able to say with one voice, "We want our country back!"

Whether you call it the Freedom March, the Constitution March, the rEVOLution March, or any other name you can think of, this will be a defining moment in America. In response to the media's blackout on his campaign, Congressman Ron Paul called for a massive march on Washington in a video announcement to his supporters earlier this year. The event, however, is not being organized by the presidential campaign. It is being professionally organized by people with experience and a dedicated staff able to obtain the necessary permits, secure speakers and entertainment, deal with the logistics, security, travel and lodging arrangements, etc. While Dr. Paul is confirmed as the keynote speaker, this march is about so much more than one man.

Already, patriots have heard the call of, "All hands on deck!" and are making their travel plans. This can only succeed if our numbers are truly astounding. Every man, woman, and child (it is a family event) who does not want this country to continue to be ruled by a few elite bankers and corporations MUST respond to this call to action. I know people who are shutting the doors to their businesses, renting RV's and sharing the expense with others who can also share the driving. I know people who have scheduled vacation days & asked for overtime to save money for airfare and hotel. Meet-up groups are holding 'chip-ins' to help sponsor people who want to go, but need financial assistance. If you sincerely believe that America is headed down the wrong path and would like to see the restoration of our Constitution, our individual liberties, our property rights, our sovereignty, etc., please start making arrangements now to be in DC on July 12!

Here's a great video promo for the march. It gives just one reason to attend, but it's a BIG reason and one most Americans can agree on!

The Revolution's Current Battleground: Nevada

At the state GOP convention in Nevada today, the party leadership announced they were leaving and would reconvene later. Mitt Romney, who won the Nevada caucuses, was on hand to speak on behalf of John McCain who declined an invitation to speak. Ron Paul, who placed second and ahead of McCain, was also invited to speak. Romney reportedly kept a straight face as he spoke of McCain's ability to steer the American economy in the right direction. Paul received thunderous applause and numerous standing ovations throughout his speech.

When the delegates got down to business, a rules change was approved by a 2/3 majority, which did away with the nomination committee's pre-determined slate of nominees to the national GOP convention and opened nominations from the floor. This process resulted in the election of 9 of the 31 delegate positions before the chair announced that they were taking a recess. There was no motion made, no debate, and no vote. There was no determination of a specific time or place for the reconvened convention. The convention chairman and the committee chairs simply left the building. The party leadership is indicating they will reconvene in Las Vegas (450 miles from today's convention site in Reno). This is a blatant attempt to disenfranchise Ron Paul supporters, but I'm betting there will be even more than the 700 they had in Reno - talk about blowback!

Click here to read the first report on the Nevada GOP Convention from the Reno Gazette-Journal.

Here's a blog post from a delegate to the Nevada GOP Convention, which was written a few days before today's convention. This give you an idea of how the slate of nominees presented by the nominations committee was determined.

For other examples of state conventions where the GOP leadership has used unbelievable tactics against members of its own party, just google the conventions in Missouri and Louisiana. For a candidate who supposedly has no shot of winning anything, he sure does have them on the run!

GOP Voters Aren't Falling in Line

On Tuesday, Pennsylvania held their primaries for the presidential race. Even though John McCain is the presumptive GOP nominee, more than 27% of the Republicans who cast their vote in Pennsylvania DID NOT vote for him! Ron Paul received nearly 130,000 votes, putting his total close to one million votes. That's one million votes for FREEDOM! Thank you, PA!

Here's what Ron Paul had to say about these results:

How do we Fight for Freedom?

If you've been around the Ron Paul campaign or the freedom movement for any length of time, you've undoubtedly heard of the book The Creature from Jekyll Island : A Second Look at the Federal Reserve by G. Edward Griffin. Mr. Griffin has been involved in the freedom movement since he was first 'enlightened' or 'woken up' in the 1960's.

A few days ago, on a message board somewhere, I saw a post with a link to what the writer claimed to be an inspiring video. I clicked on it and saw that it was an hour & 23 minutes long and almost left the page. Thankfully, though, I noticed in the description that it was by G. Edward Griffin. That name rang a bell, so I watched it, albeit in 10 minute increments throughout the day.

For anyone who finds themselves overwhelmed by the enormity of the problems we face and is thinking that there is no hope for a solution, please watch this. If you're still not convinced we have a problem with eroding individual liberties, astronomical growth of government, a currency becoming more worthless by the day, a nation whose sovereignty is being sold piece by piece, etc., then please continue to do your own research until you are satisfied one way or the other.

Those who are unaware of the enemy we face, the tactics they use, their motives, their successes to date, and their vision of victory are understandably not active in the fight to right the ship. Those who are aware and choose to sit idly by and watch events unfold have no excuse for apathy. Mr. Griffin blames this apathy on the method used to spread the message, including his own method up until a few years ago. Too often, he says, the message is focused on all of the problems without offering truly workable solutions, and without a possible fix in sight most people simply give up. I myself am guilty of trying to get people to see the problems without offering a solution. But until I saw this video, I (like most) had no idea how to really go about helping our cause. This video offers real solutions and a brilliant plan for putting them into action. The only piece needed to complete the mission is people willing to do whatever needed to take our country back. If you're serious about trying to help restore America to a nation of free individuals enjoying life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness protected by a truly limited government, please watch this video!

How much does the media influence the electorate?

We're all familiar with polls. They're usually done with a sampling of a few hundred people up to a few thousand at the most. Most of us are aware of how easy it is to word a question in such a way as to elicit the particular response desired by the entity paying the pollster. Even live polling of focus groups are manipulated right in front of us, but many are fooled into believe these are more trustworthy than telephone polls reported as statistics, which can in and of themselves be manipulated to show a pre-determined response. I used to think that Frank Luntz was great at questioning focus groups and analyzing the results on FOX News. Then I came across a video of him explaining and proving how he can frame any question in such a way as to elicit a particular response. Then he'd ask the same question in a slightly different way and get the complete opposite response!

These focus groups usually have a few dozen people participating. The 'best' polls use more, but scientifically speaking, it is best to use as wide a sample as possible. It is also important to control as many factors as possible, keeping them constant so that differences can be attributed to only one cause. At least this should be the objective. Many people I know simply throw up their hands in disgust at the whole thing and believe that none of this polling or media reporting has any effect on the outcome of our elections.

Friends of mine have actually laughed when I've said anything about the media choosing our candidates for us. We are all free to make up our own minds about who we vote for, right? If a majority is won by a candidate in the election, it must mean that a fully informed electorate has voiced its opinion on its first choice, right? Are we fully informed about every single choice we have? Does everyone vote their first choice, or do some begin to believe that their first choice has no chance leading them to cast their precious vote for someone less desirable because they are 'in the lead'?

This video by a media insider has the answer to these questions.

A Film Every American Should Watch

My apologies for not posting in a while. I was very busy getting my income taxes filed! I've also been doing lots of research and have found that I've been afflicted with information overload. It is difficult sometimes to start writing because there is simply so much to say - where to begin?

There is so much great information available, but I have finally made a decision on what to include next. The following video is a documentary by Aaron Russo. Please click his name to find out more about him. He recently passed away (24 Aug 07), and the inscription on his headstone reads "Freedom Fighter". He has thankfully left us his latest film, "America: From Freedom to Fascism".

NOTE: This clip is the first of 11 parts as posted on YouTube. You can click the play button and watch the clip right here or you can click on the video itself, which will take you to youtube.com where you can click a link at the bottom of each segment to go to the next. Each is 10 - 15 minutes in length. The entire movie runs nearly two hours and can be watched for free here.

Don't Take My Word for It

If there is one thing I've learned during the last few months of talking to people about our disappearing freedoms in general and about Ron Paul in particular, is that each individual must search for and learn the truth in their own way and on their own timetable. In my posts and in my conversations with family and friends, I can only hope to give others something to mull over in their minds until they eventually start to try to find out the answers for themselves.

It is a difficult task to make such a paradigm shift in one's political thinking. I have been known to argue passionately for the case of the Bush Administration prior to being awakened to reality. Friends and family find it hard to believe that I no longer support Bush and the Neocons, but it is true! It did not, however, happen over night and no, I didn’t drink the Kool-Aid. Over more than a decade, seeds were planted in my mind, so that when I finally started to look outside of mainstream media for answers to my questions, I began to put the pieces of the puzzle together. I can not expect anything less of others. I don't think we have another decade to sit idly by, though, and it is for this reason that I sometimes get a little overly insistent that people come around more quickly.

This is not familiar territory to me. I'm used to being able to win friendly debates because I use facts to back up my arguments. In this matter, though, most people are not swayed by the facts. It is a testament to just how far America has veered off course -- most Americans can no longer imagine what our Republic was supposed to look like, had it developed according to our founding documents. Americans today tend to believe that big government is a necessary evil and that, in order to maintain it, high taxes and oppressive regulations are to be expected. Government meddling in countless affairs for which it has no constitutional authority has become so commonplace that Americans now believe they could not function without federal regulations on everything from education to farming and federal assistance to an ever-growing list of groups including the sick and the needy - not only here in America - but around the globe.

Please, look into these things and learn everything possible in the shortest amount of time! If you find there is no factual basis for any cause for concern, then you can be satisfied and can let things continue along their present course. If, however, you begin to have more and more light bulbs going off as I did, please keep learning and find out how you can get actively involved in whatever way you can. Educating ourselves and others is the only way we can win back our freedom, peace, and prosperity. This is the purpose of my blog in a nutshell.

What steps can you take, specifically? You can start by finding out about things like the SPP, NAU, the Amero, TTC, REAL ID, FEMA Camps, the Federal Reserve, the CFR, and why martial law was used in New Orleans and Greensburg, KS. Just Google them. Look up legislation as you find it referenced in articles, and read the actual legislation. Many documents have been recently declassified and you can read them for yourself as well. Read the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. Once you get started, you will likely find that your problem becomes where to stop researching and (hopefully) how to start acting!

Taking Back the GOP from the Bottom Up

The neocons who have hijacked the GOP are hereby on notice. We WILL take back our party and return it to fiscal conservatism and a respect for the rule of law! They are squatters in OUR house, and we will not tolerate their war mongering, outrageous spending, empire building, and lack of regard for the US Constitution any longer! We're sick over what they have done to the Republican Party and our great nation, and we will stand together to save both and the principles on which they were built.

Precinct by precinct; county by county; state by state... We are a force to be reckoned with and our numbers are growing daily. Unfortunately,some in our movement are loud and obnoxious, but most of us are educated, well-reasoned, well-spoken patriots who refuse to sit by and watch our country slip away from us.

Listen to this guy - a Ron Paul supporter speaking at a GOP convention in Tarrant County, Texas. He is speaking in favor of a RP nominee for the position of Permanent Chairman of the Convention. In many parts of the red state of Texas, this tactic was successful and led to the running of the entire convention by a group of true conservatives. Go Texas!

The Constitutionalist Republicans are Here to Stay!

Here is a great article from the Austin American Statesman. It describes the success of the Ron Paul supporters at the SD25 convention last Saturday. All indications are the constitutionalists are here to stay - look out 2010!

Horatio Bunce: A Hero's Hero

WHO? You're probably asking yourself, "Who in the world is Horatio Bunce?" He was a simple farmer with a keen political sense who once helped his Congressman to see that our federal government was not authorized by the Constitution to redistribute the wealth of citizens - even for a good cause. His representative was none other than Davy Crockett of Alamo fame.

Everyone loves a good Davy Crockett story, right? This one has nothing to do with his heroic efforts to defend the Alamo, but it is an extraordinary tale nonetheless. "It's Not Yours to Give" is the title of an excerpted story, originally published in "The Life of Colonel Crockett" by Edward Sylvester Ellis. Its lesson is timeless. It is a favorite of Dr. Ron Paul's, and he routinely carries copies with him to hand out, especially to the many children he meets.

CLICK HERE to read the entire story.

For those who worry about the poor and whether our government is doing enough to help them, I hope this story helps you to understand why they should be doing nothing at all. We, as compassionate individuals and communities, have the freedom to help others as we see fit.

The government exists to protect the individual's freedoms, including the freedom to spend one's money however they please. It does not exist to redistribute wealth for any reason - not even to help those who are disadvantaged in any way. The restrictions on government spending were put in place to ensure the longevity of the Republic. The Founders knew that, once people figured out they could vote themselves a windfall, only those politicians who promised to give them more and more would ever be elected to office, eventually bankrupting the nation. Sound familiar? Entitlement programs of every ilk, pork barrel projects galore, programs to spend billions helping the poor - not only those residing in our own country, but around the globe...

My First GOP County Convention Experience

NOTE: This was written and first published as a comment on the Daily Dose (official blog of the Ron Paul 2008 Campaign and its originally intended audience was fellow Ron Paul supporters who were blogging away sharing our stories about our county / senate district conventions on March 29, 2008).

First, let me say, there were so many Ron Paul vehicles in the parking lot, it looked like a RP rally, and the Revolution is alive and well in WillCo! We did not have quite the numbers we needed to have a majority (about 43%), but we did well nonetheless because of the willingness of the majority of long-time party faithfuls to welcome all the new faces. For those outside of Texas, it is interesting to note that Williamson County has the reputation of being the reddest county in the red state of Texas.

I requested an appointment to the Temporary Resolutions Committee shortly after being elected as a delegate at my precinct convention, and we had representation on a couple of the other committees, too. Our County Chairman makes these appointments, and he granted my request even though he knew I was a “Paulista”, which I took as a very positive sign. Our committee met for a total of twelve hours in the few days before the convention to weed through more than 800 resolutions that had been sent up from the precinct conventions. With 84 precincts seated at the county convention, that’s an average of nearly 10 per precinct! The vast majority of these were either RP resolutions or items in line with his platform. Way to go grassroots! As a committee member, I was able to introduce my own resolutions, and I took advantage of that. I got one passed about withholding party funds from any candidate who does not fully support the entire platform plank on illegal immigration. I also got a sentence added to the ‘Preserving National Security’ plank that says, “We do not support the enactment of the Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007 (HB 1955).”

Serving on this committee was very rewarding, both for me personally and for helping to bring the Republican Party back to its conservative roots. The debates were exhilerating, honest discussions on an incredibly wide array of issues, and I was proud to passionately state our case on each and every one of them. It feels so good to speak about things like gun control, illegal immigration, and the unconsitutionality of all the various government agencies when you know you’ve got the constitution on your side. It is extremely difficult to argue with the truth! I did not win every debate, and not all of the RP resolutions made it out of our committee. Only a few got through that I voted against, and even those aren’t very far off the mark.

To see our committee’s report containing all of the resolutions we passed up to the convention for consideration, you can go to www.williamsoncountygop.org to find a link to the report along with a link to the 2006 (current) Republican Party of Texas Platform. This would be a great resource for those of you who have yet to attend your next highest convention! UPDATE: As of April 4th, 2008, the links to the resolutions and the Texas GOP platform are no longer on the Williamson County GOP website.
Today, I was appointed to the Permanent Resolutions Committee. I had my doubts as to whether or not I’d be included on the list, and joked about it with them when we convened. But everyone from the County Chair to our Committee Chair and many members of the committee told me that they were impressed with my knowledge and willingness to roll up my sleeves and had not even considered removing me from the committee. We took testimony on new resolutions for about an hour this morning, and then made some adjustments before sending our final report to the printer. After lunch, the fun really started!

After some lively debate over two resolutions, (which were not passed in committee, but three of us signed as a minority report), we failed to get them added to the majority report. They were on unbinding Texas’ delegates to the national convention and on repealing the 17th amendment. After that, a motion was made to approve the entire report as is. If this had failed we would have taken each of the 24 resolutions and debated each one before voting. As a member of the committee who had already debated these issues at length, I was generally satisfied with the final report. The RP group spokespeople said they were 99% happy with the resolutions, but wanted the opportunity to debate the issues. I completely understood their wanting to do this and was very mixed on what I wanted to happen next.

A vote was called for and, as had been the case throughout the day, each side LOUDLY voiced their ‘Yays’ and ‘Nays’. We were so close to being evenly divided, that nearly every vote was taken again by way of standing or in some cases there was even a poll of the precincts. The vote to accept the resolutions report as is went all the way to the polling stage. This meant that the Precinct Chair for each delegation had to step up to the microphone and announce their precincts’ vote count for and against. After the statistical calculations were made based on the voting strength of each precinct, the ‘Yays’ had won, and the entire report was passed. This disappointed many Ron Paulers who were prepared to stay into the wee hours if that is what it took to have a chance to voice an opinion on each and every resolution. I would have gladly stayed to once again state the case for all of the really good resolutions we had. However, I believe that only a handful of the resolutions would have failed on their own (because we did a very thorough job at the committee level), and that we could have risked losing some very positive resolutions for our cause.

One resolution came from the floor, and it was regarding making candidates tow the party line and follow the constitution. I actually spoke against this one because it is already in our platform and we (the committee) had already passed a resolution adopting the current platform with modifications as contained in the remainder of the resolutions. It would have been redundant, in my opinion and as was the consensus of the committee since we had already failed to pass many resolutions on those grounds. Yet, by that time, most of the ‘old-timers’ had gone home and the RP group approved it. I guess it doesn’t hurt to reiterate something so critical, but to me the real question is ‘How do we make them uphold what’s already in there?’ I’m glad we won the vote anyway because we ended the day with a victory, however small it might have been.

After this a motion was made to adjourn. It was seconded & passed with no debate (motion to adjourn is apparently not debatable). This effectively cut off any further motions from the floor. In this regard, we were shut out, but in the meantime we had managed to accomplish much!

I was elected as a delegate to our state convention, and my husband made the alternate list. In all, I think we got just shy of 20 delegates out of 120, and a few alternates as well. We tried to get a 10 minute recess to look over the list, but after nearly 10 minutes spent debating the motion, it was rejected. The slate, as proposed by the nominations committee, was approved in its entirety.

The County Chairman approched me at one point during the day and asked me if I was under 40. I said yes, and he asked if I would be interested in starting a local chapter of the Texas Young Republican Federation, whose members must be between 18 and 40, inclusive. I said that it was definitely something I’d be interested in learning more about and I found the Regional Director of the group later in the day & we exchanged contact info, etc. I think this is a perfect way for me to get involved in our local GOP and have a positive affect on the young people at the same time. I want to be involved, but I don’t necessarily want to attend luncheons five times a month either. I believe we need to educate the young conservative base - they’re so ready for this message of true conservatism and an adherence to the US Constitution! Along with representing Williamson County as a delegate to the state convention, this is how I plan to continue my little piece of the revolution!

Why is Chuck Baldwin Angry at his Fellow Pastors?

One of these days, I'll do some more of my own writing! However, life is extremely busy at the moment. I wanted to post this article, though. It is a very interesting article and well worth the read! This is by Chuck Baldwin, a well-respected Baptist preacher in Florida, and he has some very salient points from a Christian point of view. If you haven't heard of some of the things he mentions (like the NAU, for example), please research them as soon as possible. Our nation is circling the drain, and we must all join together to keep from her slipping right on down into the sewer. There is a peaceful revolution underway, and all American patriots will need to participate for it to succeed. The revolution will not be televised (as is the catch phrase on many revolution-related websites). We must educate ourselves, then work as hard as we can to make the message spread like wildfire. The fire is already burning; we just need to fan the flames!

The GOP is Fearful of What it Sees in the Mirror

Time's on-line magazine (which is presented in partnership with CNN) featured an article on March 20, 2008 titled, "Why Ron Paul Scares the GOP". While it misses the mark in a few details, the essence of the article, written by Michael Grunwald, does a fairly good job of explaining how the Republican Party has drifted from its conservative roots. It also explains that Ron Paul is the only GOP presidential candidate whose message and record are clearly conservative and that the GOP has not relished having to look in the mirror so often during this primary season.

Can Nazi Germany be Repeated in the US?

People taken from their homes in the middle of the night. Millions taken to concentration camps. Men, women, and children exterminated en masse. An entire nation's population convinced their government is working to keep them safe from foreign evils, creating a great sense of nationalism, while dissenters are labeled unpatriotic and many disappear without a trace.

Anyone familiar with the Nazi regime in Germany has heard these horror stories. Americans have considered ourselves lucky to live in a free country where such atrocities could never occur. Or could they?

They can. The wheels are already in motion. Unspeakable plans have been unfolding for the last 100 years or so. This is scary stuff, so if you're not ready for a huge dose of reality, you might want to stop reading right here! Once you read it, you won't be able to just erase it from your memory.

The perpetrators who are succeeding in taking America away from us are counting on you finding the truth so monstrous as to be completely inconceivable. They want you to dismiss it as fantasy and continue with your daily life as they work to bring their plans to fruition. Indeed, much of it sounds like the old Superhero cartoons where there was always a madman trying to take over the world. I assure you, however, that I would not feel compelled to write about tall tales. My motivation is my love for my country and an urgent need to save her for my children and future generations.

Over the last decade or so, I've heard little pieces here and there, which singly sounded like alarmism coming from crazy conspiracy theorists. I did as expected, as the vast majority has. I chose to ignore terms like 'New World Order', even when used by our own president. I remember hearing in a college economics class that the Federal Reserve Bank was a private entity with no government oversight or accountability, yet they controlled our money supply. I thought that sounded a little fishy, but never bothered to look into it further. I'd heard about the North American Union and rumors that the media was shady, yet let it all go in one ear and right out the other - like a good little sheep should.

It was not until I discovered Ron Paul that I began to question how easily I had dismissed these casual observances. Here was a 10-term Congressman with an unimpeachable integrity espousing many of these same ideas. He's certainly not a crazy conspiracy theorist, so I thought maybe there is some truth to this after all. In the month or so that has since passed, I have spent many hours googling these subjects. I have probably only discovered an infinitesimal portion of what is out there. Rather than reinventing the wheel, check out the links in this post for more information, which you can then investigate yourself.

Concentration camps are already built and ready to detain huge numbers of Americans. Who exactly? Well, me......and now, you. You see, it is those of us who are on to their scheme who will fight them with everything we have at our disposal to keep our freedom. We are the constitutionalists, the true American patriots, and they plan to ensure our silence. I told you it was scary stuff!

NOTE: When you click on the link above about the concentration camps, be sure to click on the maps (a little ways down on the right) to see exactly where they are, a video taken of one of them in Indiana, and a state-by-state list of facilities.
