I had to share this. Its insane how well written this is. Ron Paul is such a heavy hitter. JEAJEA
Having a conference at the Google headquarters is a big fucking deal ($$$$$) and they have ALOT of media power. We can be a part of history folks, lets do all we can to get him in office. I donated 50 bucks and hope to donate more!! I also read that Ron Paul has recieved the most donations from people in the military, they want to get the fuck out of iraq.
July 17, 2007
What a day and half in northern California! On Friday, my first appointment was
at 6:00 am, and my day ended at 11:00 pm. I did radio and tv interviews in San
Francisco, followed by a meeting with the editorial board of the San Francisco
Chronicle. The questions were tough but fair: my favorite! Meanwhile, more and
more interview requests pour into the campaign. There is a real hunger for our
ideas, even in the mainstream media. The message of liberty is popular!
Then I headed for Google, one of America’s great businesses. Some of the young
stars who populate that company took me on a tour of a firm that seemed like a
university student union. I saw where everyone works, eats, and exercises.
Next I did a political YouTube interview with questions submitted from the web.
I was told that never had Google, in the entire history of this series, received
the sheer number of questions that it had for my interview. People care about
freedom.
Then I spent an hour answering questions from Google employees, crowded into a
large room with overflow rooms overflowing too. Next was fascinating briefing
from some of the technical heads of Google Earth, Google Maps, Google Apps, and
other extraordinary innovations. Then there was a press conference for the
media gathered in a company courtyard, and then a fundraising reception that a
group of Google employees had organized off-site. In the evening there was
another successful fundraiser.
Saturday morning was the Silicon Valley Meetup in a park right next to Google.
A huge and enthusiastic crowd was there to hear about our ideas, and the
diversity was astounding. There were bikers in leather and hippies, young
parents and grandparents, high-tech workers and business owners, and so many
young Americans.
I talked about all our ideas: marching out of Iraq just as we marched in; no
more meddling in the Middle East; bringing the troops home, from hundreds of
expensive bases all over the world, so that we could have the money we need for
the transition to freedom in social programs, and to abolish the personal income
tax and the IRS. They are not compatible with a free society.
In a Ron Paul administration, we would also repeal the Patriot Act and the
Military Commissions Act, restore habeas corpus and stop the spying on
Americans. No more eavesdropping on our emails and bank accounts, our phone
calls, home and businesses. No national ID -- just the bracing freedom of the
Constitution.
We must have sound money, and not a giant counterfeiting machine called the
Federal Reserve that causes recessions and inflation. We must have private
property rights, with no pollution or other attacks on property. We should
enforce the Second Amendment, and all the Bill of Rights. We can have privacy
for us, not secrecy for a corrupt bureaucracy.
It is all within our grasp, the restoration of the republic and our
sovereignty—no UN, no North American Union, no Nafta, no WTO, no World Bank, no
IMF. Just federalism, free enterprise, peace, prosperity, and the kind of
future we all want for our families, ourselves, and our fellow Americans.
The dream can be a reality. You can help make it so. Please: make your most
generous donation to this effort for America’s future
(

and poverty, we can have peace and freedom and the blessings for our children
and grandchildren of doing better than we have, of secure retirements and
childhoods. No more theft -- of our savings or our liberty.
Please -- give to this campaign, for all our futures
