They must really be threatened by Ron Paul.

Clearly. Ron Paul has been a Republican Congressman for over two decades yet he is not included in the convention. He's told he can pick-up his credentials at the gate, can bring no one with him and must return his credentials when he leaves. How many other Republican Congresspeople are being treated the same way? Some government we've got. And the vote counting... how can anyone possibly defend that?

This is sicking.

This Great country has fallen so far from what it was. It exclude him from this is just wrong and should be a clear message to the people of this country to wake up.

If i was Ron, i would drop the Republican party so fast, and then run as an independent.

This is clear bully tactics and an attempt to not only silence him, but to have him erased from the minds, thoughts and memories of all who have heard him. They are trying to 'disappear' him.

All you American's need to stop this by writing in your vote on the ballot. Use a post-it note if you have to, draw it in with permanent markers. Anything to stop the PTB from making a mockery of this man.

There is a very real and understandable reason he doesn't want to do this. Because he would not have gotten even the few spots on TV that he did during the initial campaigning. He even admitted that this is pretty much why he runs as a republican. He says in his personal life he is independent.

That is what is wrong with this government. They have a stranglehold on a two party system and anyone else cannot play.

I feel dirty quoting the new Star Wars Trilogy... but it's actually quite appropriate.

So this is how liberty dies, with thunderous applause.



We must take back what is rightfully ours before it is too late.

"Write him in", "Vote for him", "Need to do something before its to late"...

Ya its all good if this was 4 yrs ago.. YA SEE THO!!!, we have been whipped hard by the man so therefor since we don't do nothing we get what we deserve.

4 yrs ago, 8 yrs ago.. we yelled the elections were rigged.. So do you really think your vote for Ron Paul would really count for anything? I think not.. here is a quote for you..

"He who votes decides nothing, He who counts the votes decides everything."

Remember now.. There is no paper trail to anything you voted for, therefor if you vote for RP then you might as well not have voted at all.
