He is one of the few honest men in politics today. We need more like him (just a little less libertarian please). Here is the letter that I got from him today, announcing a "Rally for the Republic", to take back our government from the special interests before it is too late. The event coincides with the Republican National Convention, and it hopefully will send a clear and compelling message to John McCain and his social club Republican party that they cannot count on conservative support unless they stand firm for conservative principles. The response has been so great that Ron had to move the event to the Target Arena, the largest arena in Minneapolis! <br /><br />Please do everything you can to attend and take a stand against our growing federal government. A Faithful Rebel will do everything in his power to be able to attend. <br /><br />Note: I do not agree with Ron Paul on every issue. I especially do not think that an immediate withdrawal from Iraq is a good idea or that it is even moral to do so after the mess that we've created. But I do think that Ron Paul is an honest man and will do everything he can to try to clean up politics and take back the government FOR THE PEOPLE. <br /><br />Here is Ron Paul's letter: <br /><br />Tuesday, July 22, 2008<br /><br />If they expected us to retire quietly from the scene, the political elite are in for a surprise.<br /><br />Today I am making some very big announcements.<br /><br />First, from August 31 to September 2 in Minneapolis, we will host a handful of events that will shake the political establishment. Everything will culminate on Tuesday with the official launch of the Campaign for Liberty at the Rally for the Republic.<br /><br />The Campaign for Liberty will be the largest organization for peace, freedom, the Constitution, and sound money in American history. It will launch in grand fashion with lots of special guests and - if the early television and print inquiries we've received are any indication - plenty of media attention.<br /><br />I would like to personally invite you and your family to join me and thousands of others in Minneapolis for these events and send a message to the Republican Party.<br /><br />Tickets will go on sale for the Rally for the Republic this Friday, July 25 @ 10AM CST. We want this to be an unforgettable day, so we are holding a ticket bomb all day Friday in the tradition of our famous money bombs. How many seats can we sell on the first day?<br /><br />In patriotic fashion all tickets will cost $17.76, so you can afford to bring the whole family.<br /><br />This leads me to the second big announcement. After measuring the excitement and enthusiasm, we decided that the Williams Arena at the University of Minnesota was just too small to hold you. Therefore, we are making a significant upgrade. The Rally for the Republic will now take place at the Target Center, the largest arena in Minneapolis!<br /><br />This promises to be the most spirited and provocative political event of the year! We held some very large rallies during the presidential campaign, but I have never attempted anything of this scale before. Its success rests entirely in your hands.<br /><br />Later this week I will announce two internationally renowned musicians as headliners for the Rally for the Republic. We'll also be joined by rock star Aimee Allen, NBC's Tucker Carlson, Barry Goldwater Jr., Gov. Gary Johnson, conservative stalwart Grover Norquist, former Reagan deputy Attorney General Bruce Fein, presidential historian Doug Wead, MTV's Adam Curry, musician Mark Scibilia, and Frank Sinatra impersonator Rick Ellis. Other special guests will be announced soon.<br /><br />My staff has been working overtime to provide you with three full days of entertainment. Please visit the schedule page of the website and read all about upcoming events. We also have a lodging page to help you find accommodations in Minneapolis.<br /><br />Together we are taking back our government and restoring the republic. Please join me in Minneapolis to kickoff the Campaign for Liberty and support our Revolution. Can I count on you to be there?<br /><br />In Liberty,<br /><br />P.S. I know that you have done so much already, but with both major party nominees threatening to lead us into bankruptcy at home and more wars abroad, the success of the Rally for the Republic and the launch of the Campaign for Liberty is crucial. Please do what you can to be in Minneapolis August 31 - September 2 and send a loud and clear message of freedom, peace, and prosperity.Aristotlehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09114128425760261308noreply@blogger.com
