This is the first time I can vote in a primary, what an interesting presidential race.
I found myself changing from an Independent to a Republican... just to vote for Ron Paul in this primary. Nobody besides Kucinich, who just withdrew from the Democrat race, can even begin to say they speak for the liberties of the citizens. It's really motivated me in a way I haven't experienced before.
Ron Paul is the real deal. For the first time in our generation we are seeing someone who isn't a "lesser of two evils" candidate. A few months ago I would have laughed at the thought I would be so inspired by a politician. Someone who has actually taken the time to become an expert in the history of economic systems and foreign policy.
Either way, if you have never heard of Ron Paul, think he's "crazy" from something sommeone said, or just haven't been motivated to look at the candidates... I would really encourage you to do some reading (www.ronpaul2008.com).
If any of you are registered Republican, I highly encourage you to come out on Tuesday and cast a ballot for Ron Paul. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
