The Lesser of Two Evils

The Lesser of Two Evils Or a Revolution 

It appears that voters who believe in liberty, a return to constitutional government, sound financial policy, wise foreign policy will be forced to choose the lesser of two evils come November. I don’t think that any of the remaining candidates are truly “evil”. It is a figure of speech. That’s for the politically correct folks.

The man I support is not going to win the party nomination. Ron Paul was the only candidate that made any real sense. He didn’t say what the people wanted to hear to get votes. He stated the truth and it scared the political and media establishment. Their reaction was to deny him fair coverage. Against this he still has more delegates than two former front runners (Thompson, Giuliani).

What do I do now? I am going to assure you I am not going to give up the fight to put my country back into the hands of the people. I am not going to give up the fight to elect honest intelligent lawmakers. I am not going to surrender the revolution that the Ron Paul campaign has started.

What I am going to do is try and ensure he has a place to be heard on the national stage. We need to ensure he is back in congress after the November election. We need to grow the grass roots support. We need this spark to ignite a blaze across this country that the media outlets cannot stop, that the politicians cannot silence and spread the word. The revolution came as far as it did because they cannot stop the internet, a free and fair place where candidates can be heard.

We need Dr. Paul to begin thinking about 2012. We need to raise money and awareness for the next 4 years while he fights in congress for us. We need to find like minded candidates and elect them to office. The fight to take back the country now shifts to Congress and the Senate. We can make a difference there. Support for candidates at a local level depends less on the national press and more upon us. If in the 2010 Congressional and Senate we can win seats for Jeffersonian Republicans, we can impact the national scene in a way that will scare the Democrats and Republicans senseless. This is not a movement for partisanship. It is a movement for all Americans to embrace the rebirth of a strong country. A country that is in their hands, as the founders intended, not run by the largest bureaucracy in the world.  

Suffice it to say if you have not read Dr. Paul’s platform do so NOW! This is only the beginning not the end. Dr. Paul has provided the spark it is up to us to help him turn it into the raging blaze it can become. American liberty will not be stopped by the tyranny of the urgent. Tyranny is exactly what we are fighting. Just like the founders of our country. The political establishment and media moguls are squelching our rights to honest fair elections and candidates. Watch any debate Dr. Paul was in and tell me the moderators were not suppressing him, or mocking him. People saw through this anyway and voted. Just not enough people heard the message. That has to change. We need to change it.

I want to be the generation that is remembered as the second fathers of our country. The generation that took the country back from the tyrants. If you think this is an extreme view, please take a moment and read what exactly the founders were fighting against. Unfair taxation(and what they were paying is no where close to what we pay), free and fair government, public well being, free speech. All of the things that are relevant today. Read what Jefferson wrote in the Declaration of Independence.

" Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."

The governement does not have my consent. They have become destructive.So no we must alter our government by exercising our right to vote them out and elect a new Government that holds true to the principles of the Declaration of Indepence and the United State Constitution. 

The revolution is not over. It has only just begun. Fan the flames, add fuel to the fire, warm yourself near it when you get weary, and watch this blaze restore our nation as it sweeps across the country and brings us out of the darkness.

Be an American and be Proud. We are about to change the world again nearly 225 years after the founders did.  

Be Right in the Middle and not Left OUT!!!!!!!!!!!
