As a Ron Paul supporter we're all hoping for a 180 degree change of how this country works, and while economically we're being left few other options other than a drastic change it doesn't mean you shouldn't appreciate the changes that are happening.
Two states have had their election record turnouts, more people are caring, more people want to effect how the country works. Many of them are not yet embracing the message of liberty and humility of Ron Paul, but the fact they voted means people are more open to new ideas than ever before even if it takes longer than a few months for the 180 degrees of change we want. Ron Paul took 30 years of consistency despite the world being against him to spark what's going on now and it's growing faster than he ever imagined, so never let them take that away.
The world is changing, people are starting to care, just keep spreading the message they are open to it but it takes time and a lot of personal soul searching for it to settle in most people. Don't be disheartened by an election that is so compressed everyones message and politics get lost in a distortion of time and media.
We can save the world one person at a time, with knowledge comes creativity and creativity plus consistency equals change. never forget. Never Surrender.

#84 - The True Aftermath of Ron Paul
I was thinking that I'd post the newest video from my video blog on here since I really think it goes over some important stuff. The revolution does not die until we have failed to act to take seats in congress, the senate, foreign parliaments, etc. This is global and no matter what each of us now have our mission to spread liberty one person at a time, and the best way to do that is to teach and enlighten one person at a time.
Someone who you teach well, will be good enough to teach others just as well. Now there's two teachers of liberty in your local area, then 4, then 8, it goes on from there that's how a revolution happens. So educate, educate, educate yourself to the core of these issues and embody them mind and spirit. For more motivation just watch the video.
May the heavens be on our side today in New Hampshire.

#83 - Checkmate, Ron Paul Manchester Town Hall
Ron Paul really pulled a great move by buying an hour of TV time in NH to counteract his exclusion on the Fox News Forum. Not only did he get more airtime than any of the candidates got at the Fox Forum, but he also got a lot of great maverick buzz for it which should play very well in NH.
I don't know what Ron Pauls outcome in this race will be, I want him to win really bad. I know no matter what, many people like me have been touched by this revolution and have resolved to dedicate their lives to furthering this movement to return to the original principles of the United States, the Constitution. If you one of these people, join me and others here.

#81 - Ron Paul Third in NH/Early State Analysis
In the latest Rasmussen Poll, Ron Paul is polling a very high 3rd in NH. Mccain is still on top but I think with his statements in this video spreading you'll see a drop in his support. With so many states having their results in January let's take a look at Ron Pauls chances in each state.
New Hampshire - Ron Paul is polling high in this state, and it's a state where independents are known to swing the vote in all sorts of directions. Buchanan was polling 14% (Paul currently @ 14%) before he won with 28% of the vote, Buchanan and Paul share many of the same supporter so this could happen again.
Michigan - Since there is no Democratic delegates up for grabs, the dem candidates have abandoned Michigan which mean we won't see Obamas vacuum of independent votes which leaves room for Ron Paul to win the swing vote here too. The republican delegates are low here so none of the candidates have really done much in Michigan.
South Carolina - A conservative stronghold, I'm not sure what to expect. Ron Paul isn't polling to bad though so it's possible for a top 3 showing for Paul.
Nevada - On the same day as South Carolina, it has been abadoned by all the candidates and the state has really embraced Ron Paul. This is Ron Pauls best chance for win in the early states.
Maine - I have no idea, no one has any news about maine.
Florida - Florida is gonna be a war against Giuliani, but again dems will not be in Florida due controversy with the DNC. Ron Paul if he can capture the independent vote could possibly kill Giulianis chances and at this point be propelled to a super super tuesday.

#80 - Iowa Analysis and Implications
Winners: Barack Obama, Mike Huckabee, Fred Thompson
Losers: Hillary Clinton, Mitt Romney, Rudy Giuliani
No Longer with Us: Biden, Dodd
No Gain/Loss: Ron Paul, Bill Richardson, John Edwards, John Mccain
Things we Learned:
"Rage Against the Machine" - The American voters has rebelled against the candidates perceived as "establishment" candidates (Clinton, Romney, Giuliani) and went for perceived "change" candidates Obama and Huckabee.
" Spambots can Vote" - If you told anyone a few weeks ago that Ron Paul would register any votes, much less 10% to almost beat Mccain and Thompson for 3rd they would of called you crazy. Ron Paul doing twice as well as Giuliani is the kiss of death to the Giuliani campaign.
"Hillary of Glass" - she got shattered and it hurt, can she turn it around?
"Independents and youth in full force" - The election the old guard has been fearing has finally come. Huge disparity among the youth/old vote in Obamas win. How this will effect the republicans will be shown in NH since Iowa was more decided by evangelicals than any generation divide. Although Ron Paul was shown to dominate the youth and independent vote for the republicans, which raises expectations in New Hampshire.
"Wyoming?" - Suddenly everyone realizes Wyoming has a republican Caucus on Saturday
The Path to victory, each candidate:
SUMMARY: Must win an Early state to stay in the Race
Mike Huckabee: The Iowa win must translate into wins across the board since has no resources to really continue his movement. Strong showing in South Carolina is a must to stay in the race.
Mitt Romney: Must beat Mccain in New Hampshire to continue to be perceived viable, though could recover from such a loss and stay in the race if he can win at least win 1 early state, though NH is really his final and best shot.
Fred Thompson: Where did his third place showing come from? Huge resurgence of a candidate we all brushed off. This must be capitalized with a win in South Carolina or Thompson will to be dead in the water.
John Mccain: Most people still shocked by the Mccain comeback, a good showing in Iowa that was neutralized by Thompsons comeback. Mccain like most of the republican candidates is low on resources so a win on NH is necessary.
Ron Paul: A decent showing in Iowa showing that people will turnout for Paul, especially in Iowa which is 2nd to Florida as the state Ron Paul has payed the least attention to. Ron Pauls best chances at a win are NH and NV yet he has had the resources to campaign well in all the early states so he'll be a factor in each and every race. He has the resources to stay till Super tuesday no matter what so the implications of this will be more clear after NH and NV. Although Ron Pauls appeal to independents shows if need be he'd be quite viable as the Libertarian candidate.
Rudy Giuliani: Florida is Giulianis last stand, period.
Duncan Hunter: Unless he can shock everyone in Wyoming there is no hope.
Republican Summary: Romney and Giuliani were hurt real bad, but the rest of the pack lack the resources to stay in the race despite strong showings. Due to this, Ron Paul can rise as the anti-establishment candidate after Huckabee and Mccain go broke. Good things come to those who wait.
-----------------------------------------------------
Barack Obama: Another win in NH will solidify his momentum and probably the nomination. Though with NH being an anti-tax libertarian state, I don't think he'll capture as many independents this time around cause we're dealing with a very different kind of independent.
John Edwards: Need to stay top 3 in the early contests, and hope for a big super tuesday.
Hillary Clinton: Must stop Obamas momentum somewhere along the early states.
Bill Richardson: Just needs to keep doing what he'd doing and hope for an upset somewhere, which is highly unlikely
Democrat Summary: I think it'd be a safe bet that Obama has got the nomination, and with the democratic turnout destroying the republican turnout that we're looking at a one sided race unless the republicans can provide an equally widely likeable candidate (Ron Paul?). Since the independents and youth are playing a role, a third party or independent candidate has some room to play a role.

#79 - H.R. 4127: Make No Cents Until It Makes Sense Act
This is a good example of Ron Pauls position against spending and against inflation. By reducing the spending on printing coins which cost more than the coins are valued, you also curve inflation.
The final bill in our series on legislation Ron Paul introduced in 2007.
