Ron Paul’s presidential campaign isn’t about a man who has a sickening desire for power and control. His campaign isn’t just about becoming president. Rather, it is about spreading Libertarian ideals that have not been gaining the momentum they should in the past 50 years.

This is what I did today. Mission completed. (with moon-fang <3)
Last week, the White House launched the next in its long line of social media engagement initiatives, this one entitled “Your Interview With the President.” The concept was simple, anyone could upload their question to the President on YouTube, others would vote on them, and the highest rated ones would be posed to the Commander in Chief in a Google+ Hangout on January 30th.
This seemed to be a logical opportunity to ask the administration about marijuana legalization. Last Tuesday, I posted NORML’s question to the White House YouTube page for consideration. We asked, “With over 850,000 Americans arrested in 2010, on marijuana charges alone, and tens of billions of tax dollars being spent locking up marijuana users, isn’t it time to regulate and tax marijuana?”
The reception was overwhelmingly positive, in just several hours the question received over 4,000 “thumbs up” votes and was one of, if not the, most popular question on the service. Then a peculiar thing happened, the question was removed. After becoming the most positively voted upon question in less than a day, the White House removed the question, deeming it “inappropriate.”
We informed our audience of the censorship and encouraged them to engage the White House on their own, using our question or a one of their own choosing. Over the next several days the program was inundated with marijuana law reform questions. At first, many met the same fate as our original question and were removed from the site. It seems our persistence ended up paying off and the page administrator finally gave up trying to censor the incoming questions and most marijuana inquiries have remained up since.
Voting closed last night at midnight and I made some rough calculations of the final results to see how we performed. Of the top 160 questions asked, marijuana reform questions accounted for 105 of them.
Ron Paul Vs. Rick Santorum in tonight’s debate.
“Four years ago, when Ron Paul took the free trade (and compassionate) position on sanctions against Cuba in the Florida debate, he was roundly booed. This time, though the audience had been instructed not to applaud, they did. The Cuban-American community—especially young people—are agreeing with Ron more and more. That anti-civilian sanctions, which seek to punish the Cuban people for their government, are immoral, and that they also strengthen the government, by enabling it to blame the failures of socialism on US hostility. As Murray Rothbard pointed out, sanctions never “work,” except to do harm to the innocent. No government surrenders because of foreign sanctions, which are, under international law, an act of war. But to the US, foreign peoples who refuse to do the US’s bidding by overthrowing their government and installing a US puppet regime deserve to be impoverished, sickened, and starved.” - Lew Rockwell
“The idea that a handful of brilliant minds can somehow steer an economy is fatal to economic growth and stability. The Soviet Union’s economy failed because of its central economic planning, and the U.S. economy will suffer the same fate if we continue down the path toward more centralized control. We need to bring back sound money and free markets — yes, even in healthcare — if we hope to soften the economic blows coming our way.” - Ron Paul

What are the differences between Mitt Romney and Barack Obama? Absolutely Nothing. Both Romney and Obama are pathological liars.
Obama promised to bring the troops home, end Guantanamo, restore due process, repeal the Patriot Act, and restore civil liberties. He has accomplished none of these promises, and doesn’t plan to in the future. In reality, Obama is fulfilling George Bush’s third term.
Obama’s top financial contributor is Goldman Sachs. Goldman Sachs has also been intertwined with his presidency as this video greatly shows. Obama promised more transparency, less corruption, and less crony capitalism. However, Obama has been the epitome of corruption.
Mitt Romney is no different from Obama. If you are angry with president Obama, electing “anyone but Obama” to replace him will make no differences. The spending, wars, corruption, and government growth will continue. Only Ron Paul is standing for the people.

Let’s start a movement.
Ron Paul’s presidential campaign isn’t about a man who has a sickening desire for power and control. His campaign isn’t just about becoming president. Rather, it is about spreading Libertarian ideals that have not been gaining the momentum they should in the past 50 years.
Dr. Paul’s idols are…

“As one who is deeply fascinated with the veteran psyche, I stayed up nearly all night watching the video clip of the soldier’s remarks in support of Ron Paul. I examined his facial expressions, his arm movements, his jeering, his smile, tattoos and awards. I didn’t see naïveté or an ignorance of military law. I saw a grown man. I saw confidence. He was brash and cavalier. I saw a man who knew exactly what he was doing with little concern for what consequences might come.”
