Over the past year, we've done a lot of crazy things to promote his idea of actually following the rules.
We hung this poster in our dining room. Any politician who comes to our home for dinner will have it staring him in the face the whole time he's gumming his PBJ.
We bought white shoe polish and plastered Ron Paul messages on all sides of our vehicles. And yes, I just took this picture today - it's still on the van.
I actually stepped onto the UM campus and spoke with Ron Paul about homeschooling...
and Preston had Ron Paul autograph his Michigan sweatshirt.
I'm confidant that Dr. Paul is a Buckeye fan, however.
Tom drew a portrait of Ron Paul as a gift for me...
and even Gabe's teachers joined in the adventure by entertaining me with artwork sent home from school...
Ron Paul has invaded our garden...
We donated time, money and lots of effort to campaigning for Ron Paul...we bought newspaper ads, radio ads, billboards, and odd things like newspaper bags to hang "slim jims" on doorknobs...
even Savannah donated money to his campaign, and received a thank you postcard, which she promptly wanted copies of, and now hangs proudly in two different places on her door...
We were absolutely thrilled when the Super Bowl teams gave us a reason to design a Ron Paul shirt to wear to our Super Bowl party...
We marched in a parade in freezing weather, we stood on the courthouse sidewalks and waved signs, we walked door-to-door to talk with people, we received rude gestures as well as high-fives at various public facilities where we were promoting Ron Paul awareness, we set time aside time weekly to gather with other supporters...and of course we voted for him in our primary....
Although he obviously did not get the Republican nomination, he received hundreds of thousands of votes in primaries. He said it surprised him, and made him realize that the American people are hungry for their freedom.
In mid-June, he announced that he was ending his campaign for the Presidency, but has no intentions of stopping what's been started in the hearts of Americans everywhere. He and his staff are planning the official launch of his Campaign for Liberty to coincide with the Republican National Convention in Minnesota in September. This is his mission.
He is only beginning a new endeavor with this kick-off.
I would love to be there. If we could afford it, we would take the whole family. What a great field trip to start the school year!
As for who we'll be voting for come November, you can be sure it won't be the anointed Obama, or the cranky McCain. I'd vote for my dog first, and right now I'm pretty sure she'd do as good of a job as either one of those two clowns!
