“Naturally the common people don't want war; neither in Russia, nor in England, nor in America, nor in Germany. That is understood. But after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.

This video will boost your confidence again (if you need any) in the amount of people out their that do have common sense. I've realized I need at least one great Ron Paul Video a week to keep me going
And Is that more people than Obama had???
The Good Dr. is so cute here too, you can tell how he is just getting used to being a rock star.
I think he'd stay and shake every hand if security would let him.
I listened to Universal Soldier too...
BTW, who is freedomworks and why are they giving freedom a bad name, can we do something??
It was 26 years ago that Ron Paul first introduced a bill to audit the Federal Reserve, and back then it only had 18 co-sponsors. The bill eventually died in committee, and never came to the house floor. Now it is 2009 and in February, Ron Paul introduced the same type of bill and in 4 months has reached 245 co-sponsors.
Congress, and Republicans alike, have overlooked Ron Paul as a Congressman that just votes no on everything. While he does vote no on most legislation, he has been a tireless worker for freedom and liberty in the Congress.
Why is Barney Frank sitting on this legislation that has huge support by the members? Is there something he doesn't want us to know?
This new bill to audit the fed is proof that he knows what he is talking about. He is one of the few in Congress that understands the monetary system in the United States, and every time he questions the Fed chair, you can see how uncomfortable he makes them.
You would think with over 245 co-sponsors, or a majority of the House, that the bill would be making its way through the Congress. But Fox News reports otherwise:
Unfortunately for Paul, the bill appears to be idling in the House Financial Services Committee, which is chaired by Barney Frank, D-Mass. The bill has been sitting there, gathering co-sponsors, since Paul introduced it in late February.
I suggest everyone start emailing and call Barney Frank's office and demand a hearing on this bill, H.R. 1207. I would then demand that it be sent out of committee and put up to a full vote by the House. The American people deserve to know how their money is being spent by monetary thugs.

A reporter says, "He (Ron Paul) appeals to a certain group of people that I'm guessing are a little bit younger, a little bit more male, and certainly very disaffected, who maybe don't get their news from the mainstream papers." "It's hard to tell where Paul's supporters are coming from"
"Visitors to Ron Paul's official website ronpaul2008.com are likely to be male (74%) and between 25 and 34 years old (25%)." Ron Paul supporters, who are you?
To show that many women do support Ron Paul, and also encourage more to do so!
