Ron Paul Sets New Record -- Raises $4 Million in 24 Hours




Ron Paul (R-Texas) has the power and the integrity to impact your health freedom, should he win the 2008 presidential elections. This is why I was thrilled to hear, and wanted to share with you, Paul’s unprecedented outpouring of support that earned him over $4 million in just 24 hours.

This sets a record for one-day online fundraising by any candidate.

The fundraising drive was appropriately tied to Guy Fawkes Day (November 5), which is a British holiday commemorating the failure of a plot against the government. The day was undoubtedly chosen because Ron Paul supports the principles of the Constitution -- and limited government involvement.

What does this mean for your health? Just as I encourage you to Take Control of Your Health, Ron Paul seeks to maximize your individual freedom, including those basic rights that pertain to your health.

Already, Paul introduced a bill (The Health Freedom Protection Act) that would strongly and positively affect Mercola.com and many other natural health organizations and advocates, along with the field of natural health in general.

If given the chance to lead the country as President, Ron Paul would have even more opportunities to introduce positive, and much-needed, change in the health-care arena. In terms of your health, Ron Paul:

  • Wants to expand the ability of Americans to use alternative medicine and new treatments.

  • Opposes legislation that increases the FDA‘s legal powers.

  • Believes the government should never have the power to require immunizations or vaccinations.

You can find out more about Ron Paul and his views about everything from health care to the war in Iraq by browsing through the links below.

So What Can YOU Do?

If you agree with Ron Paul’s message of freedom and liberty then JOIN THE CAUSE!

I have never donated to any politician in my life. However, I am going to break that pattern now by contributing to the next Ron Paul drive on December 16. If you are considering donating to Ron Paul, do NOT do it until that time. 

You see it is NOT directly about the money. He is only going to use the money to gather media attention -- and by collecting so much money he has gathered millions of dollars of media attention that he could never afford to buy. This helped spread his message of freedom and liberty, which are both currently at risk in the United States.

If you can’t afford to donate, that is no problem. What you CAN do is SPREAD the word.

Search my site for previous Ron Paul videos and send them to ALL of your friends and relatives, and encourage them to sign up for the December 16 campaign.

There are 1.3 million people that receive this newsletter. We CAN make a HUGE difference. If only a small fraction of you spread this message in YOUR networks and communities just imagine what we can do.

So drive everyone you know and have them join the Ron Paul Boston Tea Party Campaign on December 16. This date is in celebration of the 234th anniversary of the Boston Tea Party in which the founding fathers of the United States made a difference that ultimately freed them from the largest military force on the planet at that time.

If you saw the amazing water buffalo video you can start to realize that if we all unite together we really do have a chance to overthrow the lions that are trying to eat us alive.

I have to say here that this story makes me realise once again that the internet is and has been an extremely important development in the world today. It is the free flowing and unregulated internet that has brought about the "education" of so many of our citizens as to the truth of what is really taking place in our government and our world today. .... The internet is not only making it possible for an honest and integrous political candidate (such as Ron Paul), to even have a chance of being known and making a decent run for President, ...The internet is allowing the people to have access to the Truth that the major media purposely denies the public.

We must NEVER allow the government to take control of and regulate the free flow of information that is provided by the internet. If we do, we will lose big time.

This video says it all!!!  RON PAUL has integrity, honor & truth on his side!

If you want to cure your apathy, watch this one:

www.youtube.com/watch  Ron Paul Video  A New Hope

RON PAUL PRESIDENT 2008  

Norstradamus warned of apathy.  Dr Rima Laibow www.HealthFreedomUsa.org tells how fluoride was first given to WWII prisoners which made them "apathetic".  

If we are going to change our collison course with "more and worse of the same type of government" - we must not be apathetic!!

Register Republican (never in my life would I thought I would) to vote in the primaries and GET THIS HONEST, SINCERE, GOOD HUMAN BEING INTO OFFICE!!!

For many of my voting years,  I found it increasingly hard to believe in most of the presidential runners.  When I learned about Ron Paul and did my research of this great man, I felt hopeful.  Today, I am a supporter for our nations future.  My concern stems beyond our USA.  The countries of our world will also benefit from honest reform. 

We need to replace the conventional congress and senate as well.  We need to vote independent people in to help Ron Paul turn the USA and the world around to a globe of peace and  honest prosperity.

This man is worth any small or large sacrifice you can offer.

annapavlova42 - I was pleased to note your comment about other countries benefiting. As a New Zealander I and others in this country tend to see the USA as a bit dictatorial. "We are big and powerful so do it our way". NZ however did not bow to the US when it came to nuclear power. We consider ourselves a nuclear free country and refuse to allow warships to visit unless they declare they are not nuclear powered. The US of course refuses to divulge ths "classified information" about its warships hence will not send any here.
We are affected here by decisions made by the FDA. If a drug or food etc is passed as acceptable for human consumption by the FDA then the NZ authorities consider that good enough to allow it into NZ.

Amen to that, Aaltrude.

I'm constantly scratching my head as to how Aunty Helen can be so strong on our anti-nuclear stance, yet play puppet to the FDA and big pharma?

Makes me sick...

Dizzylizzy1 - I suspect that Codex alimentarius might have a role to play here.

If you do no believe this is getting professionals in the Guilani, Romney and Thompson campaigns extremely nervous,  THINK AGAIN...

The common sense approach to government by Ron Paul is long overdue, and may I respectfully suggest you vote each and every Democratic as well as Republican incumbent, in both the House and Senate, OUT also, as the two party system is totally corrupted and 100% 'on the take'.

PAUL IN 2008 - Freedom, Sanity, & Accountability For All!

Excellent Points Russ and you speak the very truth!

Two party corrupt system - I'm sick of it.

How about Dennis Kucinich (democrat) Vice President  

RON PAUL (republican) PRESIDENT

Wouldn't that me more in tune with "United" States of America?

A raw milk champion running for President....

"Free Trade in Unpasteurized Milk"

"Ron Paul Introduces HR 4077 to Allow the Interstate Shipment of Unpasteurized Milk, November 6, 2007"

Madame Speaker, I rise to introduce legislation that allows the transportation and sale in interstate commerce of unpasteurized milk and milk products, as long as the milk both originates from and is shipped to states that allow the sale of unpasteurized milk and milk products. This legislation removes an unconstitutional restraint on farmers who wish to sell unpasteurized milk and milk products, and people who wish to consume unpasteurized milk and milk products

The rest: www.lewrockwell.com/.../paul422.html

This is one of the best promo videos for the Tea Party 07:

Good introduction to Ron Paul (strong anti-war message):
