  Yes!

  Ron Paul 2008 grassroots presidential campaign started the fire.  The tea party movement spread the message in 2009 along with the Audit The Fed movement and the August recess Townhall meetings.  The media and the liberals tried to downplay the movement that was most visible September 12 at the  912 march on Washington DC. 

  That message is the American voters do not want more government.  They do not want higher taxes.  They do not want National Healthcare or Cap & Trade.

  They do want transparency for The Fed and Congress.  They want free markets, individual freedoms protected and Americans want a non-interventionist foreign policy.

  Pat yourself on the back, all the work you have done in the past 2 years just forced the Liberal Republican to pull out of the race in NY23 leaving only the independent conservative opposite the democrat.

  This race is like a splitting mall hammered into the wood of the Big Government GOP establishment.   The Arlen Specter / Lindsey Graham  wing of the GOP just got a huge wack on that splitting mall and the first RINO fell before the first vote was even cast.

  The historical significance of the Republican establishment backed candidate withdrawing from this race is unprecedented.   It was due to grass roots pressure.   Yes, some big names signed on the effort as late coming opportunists, but the true pressure was from you.

Congratulations!   On with the revolution!
