As a concerned resident of Missouri, you should call the Missouri state GOP, St. Charles County GOP, Eugene Dokes, and Bryan Spencer to give them a piece of your Missouri mind.
Instead of accepting defeat, call and let them know you (and everybody else) know what they're up to, you know what they're planning, and you're watching and taking notes.

Give it up. The only thing that Ron Paul's campaign has accomplished is the fact that the people who actually believed in this fraudulent political system will realize that they have been playing a losing game from the start

Earlier I read that Ron paul supporters stand for the constition and freedom. Why dont they try to overthrow the government then? Its allowed in the Constitution if they government is not working for the people. So why do we not all get together and start a movement? I suggest if they are totally unhappy rise up and change it.

This is just all being played right as they want to... Ron Paul is yet another puppet... And just like Obama, will get voted in, and everyone will be so "HAPPY" it happened... It will be glorious and yet, the same old same old will still happen. Promises will be broken, new promises to be broken will be made and yet everyone will cheer on and yes it will be a new good job full of promises to be broken.
I hope that you all read and mark my words. For if I am wrong I will state so in a post and be humiliated. By the way im not from the USA either, but all this people that stick to Ron Paul like glue, you have to realize that he obviously isn't some unique snowflake that magically happens to have come into existance... He is yet another loveable character ready to fill a slot that so many people want filled, and that needs replacing from the old face...
Those lovable slogans, such as Change will come!!! Change is here!, Change is NOW!.. They will be replaced with more loveable slogans... Now is change!! Here is Change!!! Come will change!
Oh there is a bunch of watery slogans there... Same slogans (reworded of course) but same bucket thats keeping them all nicely held in.

You know, that is on thing I have honestly wondered about. Just because Ron Paul wants to accomplish those things doesn't mean that TPTB are going to let him. congress is worthless in my eyes and have only made things worse no matter who has been in office.
How would Ron Paul actually restore things to the way they are supposed to be? Of course, with all the power the executive branch has attained through all the previous executive orders and constitutional amendments, he could probably use the governments corruption against itself. He could, for instance, make some of the changes via executive order, though they would likely be challenged as invalid because they would be overstepping the bounds of what executive orders are supposed to be allowed to do (which is odd, since there is no solid provision for them in the constitution to begin with).
Is it possible that he could somehow have charges places against every crooked political figure currently running things and lock them all up (or execute them if they are deemed traitors)? Completely overhaul the current leadership and then make some real change.
I don't know how he'll do it, but I'd sure do my part to try and make it a reality. How can you legally and constitutionally change the government when it doesn't play by its own rules?
The declaration of Independence is clear about what we should do when the government becomes a tyrant and deprives us of our rights... "it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security." Many state constitutions provide the citizens with exactly that right, to overthrow the government by whatever means are expedient should it use its power to deprive the people of their rights.
But anyway... what's going to happen? Only time will tell.

Have you heard the non aggression principle? There are people out there who dont believe in the initiation of force?

You know, whenever I see this quote pop up, I roll my eyes and remember that there are some really really disturbed people in the world that truly need therapy.
The kinds of people that throw the above quote about fail to realize that even though the politics of this country are corrupt, the people that are elected (by the people) are in fact PEOPLE.
Remember killing PEOPLE is generally considered a bad thing, some might even say that it's anti social behavior.
Remember Gabrielle Giffords. Was she a tyrant? Or how about Christina-Taylor Green, 9, of Tucson, was this 9 year old girl a patriot whos blood was needed to refresh the tree of liberty?
You, are just another reason to NOT support Ron Paul. After all, you can judge a man by the company they keep, and if your someone who thinks that Ron Paul should be elected and at the same time there should be a bloodbath in this country, than I am going to have to NOT vote for Ron Paul.
So, I guess you'll go over to the Obama camp and sing songs of "Change" once again...Good Luck with that...Epic Failure!
