Ron Paul on “The Revolution” Congressman and Republican presidential contender Ron Paul (R-TX) addressed a crowd at a discussion and signing to promote his new book, The Revolution: A Manifesto, currently a number-one bestseller on Amazon.com. Dr. Paul, who will continue to run for the presidency despite Sen. John McCain’s (R-AZ) official nomination, said the purpose of his book is to “galvanize” the American people and foster enthusiasm about civil liberties and a return to American libertarian principles.

Ron Paul Could Prove the Ultimate Threat to John McCain While Senator John McCain was long named the Republican GOP in this year's race to the US Presidency, long time Congressman Ron Paul has refused to back down and neither have many of his followers.
This is significant indeed. Come Election Day, there are many who believe that Democrats not enthusiastic about Barack Obama could vote for Ron Paul instead of McCain while a chunk of disenfranchised Republicans could lean more towards Paul as well.

With my heels on, we were nose to nose. His deep blue eyes were staring directly into mine. I didn't blink. I made my eyes wider and leaned forward. The freedom message was flowing through my veins and I felt the power of liberty urging me to act. I was about to have a foreign policy debate with former majority house leader, Tom Delay, also known as "the hammer." Little did he know that "they" call me "the ronpauler." He thought he could hammer his toe-the-party-line ideas with me, but he had met his match. I hammered back, and it was beautiful.

Ron Paul Uprising As the mainstream media obsesses over the Democratic Party’s brewing civil war, supporters of Republican presidential candidate US Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, are already staging their own quiet uprising at GOP conventions across the nation.
If, by a strange twist of fate, the Republicans’ presumptive nominee, US Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., fails to win the first ballot at the national convention, “all hell will break loose,” one Santa Fe County delegate tells SFR.

Ron Paul Republicans on the rise in NC “Kudos last night to North Carolina voters for nominating B.J. Lawson, a bonified Ron Paul Republican to the nomination for the 4th Congressional District and re-electing Walter Jones Jr. to the sixth CD. Jones was the only GOP member of Congress to endorse Paul for President.
This is important because while Lawson faces an uphillclimb in a heavily Democratic district, just the fact he won the district puts it Ron Paul’s hands. Given the way the GOP divies up its delegates to its national convention by Congressional District, controlling a district is a big deal and means Ron Paul’s Republicans are going to have influence and power within the party in the future regardless what happens this fall.
Jones’ election is also important to show Republicans that opposing the war, even in a district filled with military bases, is not a political death sentence. Voters do actually respect Congressmen who take a stand even if they may disagree with it (or maybe they privately agree. If they thought Jones was cut-in-run peacenik, wouldn’t the margin have been just a little closer than 2-to-1?).”

Ron Paul Keeps on Going, and Going and Going Ron Paul is still in the race for the Republican Presidential nomination, technically that is. With John McCain already having more than enough delegates to get the nomination, it would take something unprecedented for Paul to be the nominee, but yet he hopes to make an impact. And he is.
At this point it is all about having his agenda on the Republican platform and since he is running unopposed for his Congressional seat, he will be around for at least another 2 years to put forth his ideas to whoever the next president is.

Ron Paul, The Revolution, and Ending Abuses and Usurpations Congressman Ron Paul’s new book, The Revolution, is an unusual presidential campaign book in that the candidate – Dr. Paul – is almost entirely absent. This is not to say that his presence is not felt; indeed, Dr. Paul is with the reader every step of the way and writes in a clear and very direct style. But the reader will find that Dr. Paul is not offering the audacity of hope or chanting change; he does not argue that it takes a village or having slept with a former president; and he surely does not hold up his military service as a reason why he should be elected. Instead, Dr. Paul politely, laconically, but frankly lays it on the line for his countrymen: America is in significant and potentially catastrophic trouble economically, financially, and militarily; the country’s political class is homogenous, gutless, and ill-educated; its two major parties do not offer a nickel’s worth of difference on important issues, especially foreign policy [pp. 2, 26, 163]; and our leaders are consciously negating parts of the Constitution, compromising America’s national sovereignty, and circumscribing the liberties of Americans. But then, astoundingly and correctly, Dr. Paul does not say "Only I can fix this mess" – as have Senators Clinton, Obama, and McCain – he says: "Only you, the American people, can fix this mess." Dr. Paul confronts Americans with a reality that ought to both chill and inspire them.

Ron Paul Co-Sponsors Marijuana Legalization Bill More than 734,000 individuals were arrested on marijuana charges in 2000. Eighty-eight percent of those arrested were charged with marijuana possession only.
On April 17 2008 US Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA) introduced two bills addressing the federal penalties for marijuana possession and the use of medical marijuana. The first decriminalization bill introduced in Congress for the last 24 years.
The first bill HR5843, co-sponsored by Reps, Ron Paul (R-TX) and William Lacy (D-MO) would eliminate all existing federal penalties including arrest, incarceration and fines that prohibit the possession and personal use of less than 100 grams of marijuana.

Ron Paul’s Republicans Ron Paul has a key primary today in North Carolina, and it is not the presidential primary. Paul has been spending the last four months or so of his campaign to support “pro-liberty” candidates for federal, state and local offices. One of them, B.J. Lawson, is going to see if he can get out of the republican primary.
Lawson seems to hold positions similar to Paul - which is much of the GOP platform (albeit more strictly adhered to and interpreted) as well as an opposition to the current interventionism of the Bush Administration. From his website:

Big Government Responsible for High Gas Prices Basic economics says that when government restricts the supply of a good, the price will increase. Yet Congress continues to reject simple measures that could increase the supply of oil. For example, Congress refuses to allow reasonable, environmentally sensitive, offshore drilling. Congress also refuses to remove the numerous regulatory hurdles that add to the prohibitively expensive task of constructing new refineries. Building a new refinery requires billions of dollars in capital investment. It can take several years just to obtain the necessary federal permits. Even after the permits are obtained, construction of a refinery may still be delayed or even halted by frivolous lawsuits. It is no wonder that there has not been a new refinery constructed in the United States since 1976.

The Ron Paul Strategy For some time I have been pondering two questions: First, why is Ron Paul working so hard to collect delegates to the Republican convention when John McCain already has it all sewed up? Second, if Paul doesn’t have a chance at the nomination, why does he look so happy and confident? Then it occurred to me: perhaps he has a strategy to win it after all. So, I thought about it a long time, and realized that he could indeed win it. So I decided to buck up your spirits by telling you how he is going to do it.

Beyond McCain: Ron Paul's supporters hope to reshape the GOP The GOP is the party of limited government. It's the party that touts fiscal responsibility. It claims to be the party of principle.

So why is the state GOP being so hard on Ron Paul supporters with track records of supporting limited government, fiscal conservatism and loyal service to Republican candidates?

Joel Skousen: Nevada GOP Sabotages Ron Paul Delegate Vote The Republican Party has a real problem with Ron Paul. He just won't go away quietly. He is still a candidate for President. He hasn't conceded or dropped out--despite media wishful thinking. Best of all, he refuses to endorse front runner John McCain, the worst warmongering candidate of the entire Republican field. Frankly, Dr. Paul both scares and embarrasses the Republican leadership. They are afraid that if he gets any momentum or significant number of delegates to the convention they will have to let him make a major address on prime time TV and thus more converts. And, Dr. Paul is certainly capable of making converts. He takes all the traditional positions the Republican Party was built upon and that core Republican voters love: small and limited federal government, low regulation, non-aggressive foreign policy, honest money, anti-abortion, and pro-family values. The Republican National Committee wants him to go away so they can get on with the promotion of Sen. John McCain-a totally dishonest and corrupt insider, according to his own son--and continue the hidden globalist agenda which now rules the Party at the highest levels. This week in the Nevada GOP convention, the party leadership shut down the convention when it became obvious that Ron Paul supporters outnumbered those loyal to party leaders who wanted to elect only McCain delegates to the national convention--even though Romney won the primary and Paul came in second, above McCain. It's as if they are saying, "If we don't like the results of the vote, we'll adjourn till we can muster enough of our people to outnumber you!"

RP Coalition Railroaded at Oklahoma State Convention The Oklahoma Republican Party held its state convention in Tulsa today, to elect delegates to the national convention, presidential electors and committee members to the Republican National Committee.
It was immediately clear that a coalition of Ron Paul supporters and John McCain opponents had a slight majority when the folks running the show wouldn’t allow a “roll-call vote” (basically a head-count) to settle a very close vote for who would be convention chairman of the day. It was by no means clear who won the yea-or-nay vote, and calls for a roll-call vote were denied. They would never explain why, and I regret that they were allowed to get away with that. This convention may have gone very differently otherwise.

Maine GOP Convention...what a disgrace! A fancy "hollywood style" McCain Video was shown during the convention but an effort to allow a RP video was denied. They eventually agreed to show a RP video during the lunch recess on the second day (yes during lunch when nobody was in the convention hall). Even this video appeared to have been edited for content by the party elite. Platform amendments based upon conservative principals and the language of the Constitution were voted down. Then, after the proposals were defeated, the very delegates responsible for this gave standing ovations to commentator Cal Thomas when he spoke of THE EXACT SAME THINGS during his speech to the convention body.

At the meeting, according to the email, about 300 of the 1,900 elected delegates to the state GOP convention May 30-June 1 must disprove allegations that — presumably — accuse the targeted delegates of not being bona fide Republicans and/or not committed to supporting John McCain for president.

Global Elite Gather in D.C. - Petrified about Paul While they are confident they can deal with any “potential president,” the Trilateralists paid huge tribute to Ron Paul in an equally large twist of irony, by expressing alarm that he is causing “significant future damage.”
They expressed concern that Paul’s rallies have attracted multitudes of young people who are getting “their political education.” They want Republicans to pressure Paul to drop out now and stop his education rallies. This assignment was given to Thomas Foley, former U.S. House speaker.
The reasons Paul’s “education campaign” strikes fear into Trilateral hearts are obvious. Paul would refuse to surrender an ounce of U.S. sovereignty to an international organization and TC wants world government.

Republicans split on state delegates The in-house rivalry between Democratic presidential hopefuls Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama may be the talk of the nation, but a schism in the Texas Republican party could yield even more dramatic political theater.
The fight for dominance in the state GOP is playing out in small battles county by county, as supporters of Congressman Ron Paul wage war against the party establishment.

Manifesto Destiny I may not be first, but I predict Ron Paul’s new book The Revolution: A Manifesto will be a runaway best seller. A frightening thing for the other candidates: they haven’t done their homework. They will have nothing to offer at examination time when the American People ask: "What have You written lately – and how does it relate to restoring and protecting our Original Liberties and God-Given Rights?" They can cram if they wish, by reading some of Dr. Paul’s other books. Even if they cannot agree with anything in Dr. Paul’s new book it may be a good idea for all of them to read it very carefully, because we will all have to deal with the principles sooner or later. "Facts are stubborn things," said John Adams.

Thoughts on the Bestseller List Ron Paul may benefit from the fact that brick-and-mortar stores didn't stock many of his books because that means the purchases will take place over a period of weeks instead of all at once, possibly keeping the book on the bestseller list longer.
Rush Limbaugh, for example, had two bestsellers. The first one had a very small first printing. Therefore, it sold out quickly and then kept selling rapidly as more books were printed, keeping it on the bestseller list for weeks and weeks. His second book sold about as many copies as the first one, but because the initial printing was so much larger, anticipating the demand, most copies were sold in the first few weeks. Thus, the book was only on the bestseller list for a few weeks, which made it appear to be less popular than his first one when in reality it wasn't.
The first Limbaugh book scenario could play itself out with Ron Paul's book. This is actually a good thing because it will make the book appear to be even more popular than it actually is (not an easy feat given how popular it is already) for a long period of time, which should lead to more, and longer-lasting, media coverage.

Ron Paul supporter sends out anti-McCain letter Ron Paul supporter Charlotte Thomson Iserbyt of Dresden recently sent out a letter criticizing Sen. John McCain and urging Maine Republicans not to support his bid for the presidency.
Iserbyt, a delegate to the state convention that starts Friday, said she wants to stop what she sees as a Republican shift to the left. In the letter, she describes McCain as a “maniacal neoconservative war monger.”

n Sunday May 11, Ron Paul's The Revolution: A Manifesto will debut at #7 on the New York Times Bestseller List (that's 7 out of 15, so it's above the fold, so to speak).
In some ways, since the Times tracks brick-and-mortar store sales, this is more impressive than the Amazon #1. Even the big chains are not stocking the book heavily yet. But this recognition will change all that. #1 is more than possible on the NYT list too.
