I recorded Ron Paul's speech last night at Loyola University in New Orleans. Here are the vids for everyone to enjoy, it is chopped up into 6 segments. The crowd was great as was Dr. Paul!
Yeah, this is great stuff. Every local C4L or Libertarian Party or any other group should try to get RP out to their local college. For that matter, they should get RP out to anywhere they can.
I love the message of Freedom. I don't think there would be too many people out there who, if they really listened objectively to the message, would disagree.
We need to "STOP THE INSANITY" and cut the fat.
The Federal Government failure to get results, reminds me of that Weight Loss Plan in the 90's "Stop the Insanity" the very concept of people continuing to do the same thing over and over and over and expecting some different outcome.
Thank You Dr. Paul for all your efforts and thanks to all his supporters as we all continue to reach out to all our friends, relatives and neighbors providing the resources which deliver the message of Liberty and just plain "Common Sense".
Well, Mike Lawson just informed me that the 912 Project is not something we should get involved in. I've seen pros and cons on that.

Just keep on leading by example people. The 912 project has good people but most the leadership is not quite awake yet. They are still war mongers who want to get the republicans back in control. We all know the real argument is not conservative versus liberal, it is big government or freedom period. Stay on point and momentum will continue in our direction from around the world.
Thanks for posting this. Bummer we couldn't get Ron to speak at the Freedom Conference 2009 in Pittsburgh but we did get Tom Woods, Ed Griffin and Joan Voen to speak in opposition to the G-20. Looking forward to that. Here's the website: Freedomconference2009 . com
I think Dr. Drumright is well.....right about the 912ers. They need to understand what our goals are and that we will not stray from them. Some of them have come around.
I loved what Dr. Paul said regarding the natural process that destroys socialism/communism.
I always find the biggest oxymoron in the government when they say they're going to use force to spread democracy. Why haven't they learned that when you force something, you're promoting tyranny, the complete opposite of democracy.
The point of freedom is that it gives people the ability to live the way they want to. Other countries should be given the right to pick their own version of freedom, not have it jammed down the throats of people who think everyone needs to be like us.
Socialism fails because after a while, people get a little sick and tired of having their money taken from them. This country hasn't even had socialism for one year, and people are already pissed off at the government for all of its useless spending habits.
If we start thinking "freedom" again, people in other countries will have all the motivation they need to want it.

I'm glad that Dr. Paul mentioned the consequences of U.S. foreign policy so explicitly. As reviewed on LRC.com
"He noted that as innocent civilians are killed in war, Muslim families with “long memories” will spend the rest of their lives seeking vengeance against Americans."
And that is really the blow back that the media ignores and the neoconservatives would have us believe does not exist. When a fuel tanker is blown away by missiles coming from above and forty or fifty die, will the locals not forever hate us? Or a house destroyed by an anonymous drone, will the victims of collateral damage not forever harbor vengeance against Americans because for no reason their family is dead? Or a gunfight in someone's backyard between foreigners and locals? Will the children who witness these things side with foreigners they cannot understand or with the Taliban whom they share much more in common with?
It should be no surprise why we are hated in foreign countries, not because Americans are evil but because occupation is evil. The foreign policy of intervention creates enemies, resentment, and endangers us.
