Remember, remember, Ron Paul's November ....

On November 5, 2007, a most astonishing thing happened. A fund raising event, organized entirely by private citizens, poured $4.2 million dollars from 36,672 donors into Ron Paul's campaign coffers. The record-breaking "moneybomb" forced the mainstream media to finally sit up and pay attention, to the gentleman from Texas and to his supporters.

It is important, also, to note that the average contribution was $103.00. The revolution is being financed by the grassroots, ordinary people who want their country back. And if you think the ordinary people ever get what they want without a real fight, you haven't been paying attention.

The good folks who brought us Debacle 2000, and its sequel Debacle 2004, will once again be running the show. We simply cannot trust the system anymore. If we want a fair fight, then WE must monitor the precinct polling places, WE must conduct exit polls and WE must document any irregularities, any voters turned away, any suspicious activity.

I suggest at least three people at every polling place for both the Republican primary and the 2008 General Election. One should be counting voters as they go in, to be sure that the number of ballots reported cast at that center is valid. Another should be polling voters as they leave . Not all will care to answer, but those that do can provide a statistical picture that should reasonably predict candidate percentages for that location. A third person should be available to cover for either of the other two should something come up at the last minute, and to run for fast food and drinks during the day.

It is VITAL that we do not break any rules! There are laws dictating where you can stand, what you can do, what you can say. Some of these vary state by state. I have begun researching these and will, over the coming days, post both federal and individual state regulations.

PLEASE begin organizing locally. Ron Paul MeetUp is an excellent place to start looking for your local compatriots. We can not simply hope for honest elections and then after the fact, cry foul. It will be too late then. We MUST be prepared for dirty tricks and downright fraud if we want to be able to prove our case later.

Please start now!

"What he's done -- what his supporters have done -- is astonishing," Ed Rollins, who managed Ross Perot's campaign in 1992 and served as an adviser to President Reagan, told The Trail. "You can't dismiss his anti-war vote. You can't dismiss the power of one man standing up with a powerful message. I'll tell you, I've been in politics for 40 years, and these days everything I've learned about politics is totally irrelevant because there's this uncontrollable thing like the Internet. Washington insiders don't know what to make of it."
