On December 16, 2007, supporters of Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul broke the all time fundraising record by raising $6 million in a single day, holding tea parties throughout the USA to protest an oppressive government.
The sentiment spread like a flame of liberty across the entire country, as more people became aware of the dangers government control poses to their lives, liberty and property. Millions of people from all political backgrounds now participate in local tea parties, and are proving too volatile to channel into supporting politics as usual, causing headaches for politicians of both parties who would ignore the Constitution or vote to further burden the people.
Dr. Rand Paul’s race is a microcosm of the ideological struggle afoot. Founder of Kentucky Taxpayers United, Dr. Paul is one of the concerned citizens who stepped forward from the movement to fight the status quo and restore our founders’ vision of liberty. He has shaken up politics in Kentucky, rising above the establishment candidate in the polls, and outraising all candidates in the third quarter.
On December 16, the diverse coalition of patriots backing Dr. Paul will attempt to outraise the establishment machine once again, a feat that would put Rand in a commanding position according to this analysis at the Bluegrass Bulletin. Without the support of lobbyists and special interests, the success of this effort will depend entirely on donations of any size from concerned individuals. So if you are able, please join in this historic undertaking!
Please pledge at www.randsteaparty.com and donate what you can on December 16!
I never was a Ron Paul supporter but this man, his son, is an inspiration. This is the kind of candidate we need. He not only speaks to the foundation of this country but clearly believes in the principles and values of that founding. I support Rand Paul.
Wow, he is impressive, his father can seem a bit off, but the son is definitely a leader and someone who needs our support.
Yes he does. I was skeptical at first but he is the real deal.
I wonder how that fuddyduddy fussbudget Lew Rockwell is taking the news that Ron's son is onboard with the Teaparty counterrevolution?
Anyone else notice something wrong here?
Right - Tea Parties origins trace their beginnings more or less to Feb. 2009, right? So...this is revisionist history? They’re retroactively calling Ron Paul rallies tea parties?
That's what it looks like to me. Here's the origin of the tea parties: Rick Santelli "Rant of the Year" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEZB4taSEoA
I don’t care who gets the credit as long as the people who don’t want socialism come together and support our Constitution and Liberty, if that’s Ron Paul then so be it, if it’s Sarah Palin: EXCELENT; if it’s Rick Santelli: Awesome, if it’s liberatarians: Great, if Conservatives: Even Better. The point is here we all want to bring our nation back to sanity from Progressives/socialists/marxism!
Yeah, your general point is fine. But people shouldn’t play with historical facts. It effects their credibility - don’t you think?
And then one at the DNC Headquarters.
