Ron Paul on the Tonight Show

Video (8 minutes, 41 seconds)

The reason why Ron Paul‘s popularity is skyrocketing is easy to understand after hearing him talk with Jay Leno on the Tonight Show: his message makes sense, and it resonates with the American people.

Earlier this month, Ron Paul even set an online fundraising record when he raised over $4 million in just 24 hours.

Ron Paul’s message is one of freedom and liberty for you as an individual. In terms of your health, Ron Paul is committed to making positive changes in the health-care arena, which is one of the reasons why I want to share his views with you. Paul believes in:

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

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

  • The notion that the government should never have the power to require immunizations or vaccinations.
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.

Like Dr. Mercola, I too have never donated to a political candidate, much less ran around telling people about one, but that's what I've been doing ever since seeing Ron Paul's videos.

I had pretty much given up on our political system and have not voted for the past several elections because I was so disgusted with the candidates.

But I also never bothered to research candidates and vote in the primaries, which is PARAMONT for getting a candidate in that is actually worth voting for.

If you like Ron Paul or even just think he'd do a better job than anyone else you've seen in this race, PLEASE vote in the primaries on Feb. 5, 2008!

You have to be registered Republican to vote for him in the primaries, but its worth it! I changed my party status this week and will be voting Feb. 5th.

This time I will not be left with feelings of hopelessness and regret, knowing that I could have done something about who is running for President and didn't.

Edmund Burke said, "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

Maybe you were like me, telling yourself you were just too busy to do anything about the problems we face in this day and age. But that's just not true. We can all do something to bring about change.

If you haven't already done so, take 5 minutes and mark your calendar to vote in the primaries on Feb. 5th. If you need to change your party affiliation, you must do so before Jan. 22nd! Here's the link for voter registration in California (sorry I don't have it for other States, but just Google your State name along with "voter registration"):

www.sos.ca.gov/.../elections_vr.htm

Also, BE SURE to do any donations to the Ron Paul campaing on December 16th, as mentioned here on Mercola's site. Its not about the money as much as it is the media coverage, which comes when the money is raised in one day in a large amount. http://teaparty07.com/

I think you are right Seg, a true gentleman. I felt the same way about Ted Heath, leader of the Conservative party here in England and what did he do? Sold his country to the European Union which was called the European Economic Community back then. Told us it was just for trade purposes, never mentioned what would happen in years to come, a federal Europe full of corruption and unelected thieves and liars. But still, I believe that Dr Paul is a good man and if I were American I would be voting for him. Never mind the cheerleader, save (vote for) Ron Paul and save the world! The freedom lovers of the world are depending on our American friends to do the right thing.

John.

I agree most heartily.  I have also seen that HONESTY AND ABILITY TO BE ONESELF MINUS THE LIES, in this gentleman, Ron Paul.

Ron Paul is the man we've been looking for.  At first I didn't think there was a chance of him getting elected.  Now I really think there is.  But we can help.

He's recently gotten a lot more press coverage because of the fact that he raised $5million in the 3rd quarter.  Well he's already raised half of that in the 1st month of this quarter.  But someone put together a website where they're trying to recruit 100,000 people to donate $100 on Nov 5.  If that happens that would equal $10 million in one day!  The coverage from that would be priceless.

Please, people if you love this country go to this site and commit to this.  We absolutely must get this man elected!   There's already 15,000 people committed which will be great but we need lots more.

I applaud Dr Mercola for bringing politics into his newsletter. It is politics that is the main cause of poor health in this country and it is politics that makes it so hard for us that want to be healthy to stay healthy. I have requested others in the natural health community(Barron,Adams) to start pushing for Ron Paul. They choose not to because it is politics and I think this is a mistake. Ron Paul gives me hope on not only my health freedom but lots more. Bravo Dr. Mercola. Keep it up !!!!

Ron Paul has never voted to raise taxes or Congressional pay. He has always voted against USA PATRIOT Act, The Military Commissions Act, and the Iraq War.

And as for any of you who think that Ron Paul supporters suscribe to Rush Limbaugh and his neo-con ways, you are way off base. As for the issues, anyone who thinks that Ron Paul's policies are the wrong ones, you are misinformed and need to read more.

For those of you using SS benefits right now, that would not change. He has already stated that it would be an option for younger workers to opt out of the system, but the people that actually depend on these government services that the govt has lulled them into, the help would still be there.

And politics have everything to do with our health. If you think differently, you are also ill-informed and I would think that anyone that has the sense to read Dr. Mercola and think for themselves about the health of their bodies would also have the same sense to think for themselves about the health of their nation.

RON PAUL gives us real hope for the future! 
I particularly like the guy holding the sign:
RON PAUL You cured my apathy.
(he's cured mine too)

(how about Kucinich for his vice president?)

I realize that Ron Paul is Republican and Dennis Kucinich  Democrat - BUT WHAT THE HELL........IT'S TIME FOR MAJOR CHANGES IN THE COUNTRY AND WOULDN'T THIS BE THE BEST FOR OUR PEOPLE AND OUR FUTURE!  

The teamship of Paul/Kucinich is the answer to our problems - it's a step in the only direction we can take - and that is:
changes in "SICK CARE" (IT IS NOT HEALTHCARE) 
changes in our abuse of the enviroment and her beautiful creatures and
changes in the accountability factor !

While others may have their couple of strong points here and there, the teamship of these two men is where a NEW BEGINNING HAS VIABILITY.

On my car - I have Ron Paul magnetic bumper stickers and Dennis Kucinich with the word VICE painted with white out before the word president!  Hope to be starting a trend here.........

Ron Paul is by far the best Republican canidate. My only concern would be if he were to run against Dennis Kucinich. Both are very powerful men who knows exactly what they are talking about. If one could be president and the other vice president, then I think this country would be back in shape with no enemies and more allies!  I honestly believed that neither would win since they are not completely for Israel but I may be wrong. Hope I am. We need change. If you register Dem. please vote for Kucinich and as for Rep. please vote for Dr. Ron Paul. With either one of them we will win.

If you want to vote for Ron Paul in the primaries, find out if you live in a closed or open state.

If cl
