Ron Paul

I had the pleasure of attending a rally for Ron Paul in March while candidates were in Austin to gather support during the Texas Primary/Caucus. Several thousand people showed up at UT's West Mall Rally area. I was surprised that so many are listening to his message. And not just the Hippies--a lot of students and average schmoes like me who would under normal circumstances never vote Republican again.

He gives me hope. He doesn't speak rhetoric. My intuition tells me this is a man who truly cares about us and worries about the direction our nation has taken. And even though there's not a remote chance he'll ever be President of the USA, having him in the House of Rep fighting the mundane battle of maintaining freedom is comforting to me. I can't wait to read his book. It's time for a revolution, baby. If you wonder about his stance on issues, more info can be found on his web site at www.ronpaul2008.com.

And now a few words from the man himself, Ron Paul:

April 30, 2008

Today is an exciting day for our campaign and our movement: my new book, The Revolution: A Manifesto, is officially released.

Although a short book, it is the product of many years of thought and action. It is a defense of the principles to which you and I have devoted our lives.

My friends are calling it "Ron Paul's legacy."

These principles - individual liberty, sound money, the Constitution, and the foreign policy of the Founding Fathers - have had no home in American politics for a very long time. With The Revolution: A Manifesto, I'm letting the establishment know we're not going away.

Finally, Americans can hear and judge these great American principles for themselves, instead of through an unfriendly media filter. And they can learn once and for all that they need not be satisfied with the phony choices the system offers them every four years. Another way really is possible.

Two days ago I did a book signing in New York at the Borders on Wall Street. All 530 copies had been sold before I even arrived.

They had underestimated you again.

Imagine the attention our cause and our principles could attract with a fantastic opening day today, with people marching into bookstores across the country for their copies. If it should become a publishing phenomenon, The Revolution: A Manifesto can fuel our revolution for a long time to come. You can make that happen.

I hope you enjoy this book, which was a real labor of love for me. Please spread the word.

And may the future be ours.

Ron Paul

revolution, baby
