A Message from Ron PaulJune 28, 2007
Dear Friend,
From time to time, I’m going to send you my thoughts during this campaign. Your support is so important to me, and I want you to know what’s happening.
Today, we had good news from the US Senate — not exactly a normal occurrence — when the president’s immigration bill went down in flames.
Here we had a vastly expensive piece of legislation that would have made the immigration problem worse, and put more controls on the economy. So naturally, the entire establishment was behind it. It was a slam-dunk, or so they thought. Then the American people got riled up, and despite all the special interests, the pressure, the media, and the money, scared the politicians enough to vote the right way.
If our campaign succeeds, this will happen on a whole range of issues. The politicians will hear from the people on foreign wars, high taxes, Fed inflation, and all the other plagues visited on us by DC. And listen they will.
And speaking of our campaign, I am very excited by the Iowa rally this Saturday. This is an historic moment. Of course, the Iowa Christian Alliance and Iowans for Tax Relief had the right to exclude the most pro-life, anti-tax candidate in the race. But when they did so, people rose up. So we are holding a rally that will reverberate around this country. Our campaign goes from strength to strength, but I am convinced that this Saturday will be very important in the fight for a free, peaceful, and prosperous America.
Maybe you can come to the rally. In any event, I know you’ll be there in spirit, and I’ll write you all about it afterwards. Your support in this race means everything to my family and me.
Warmest regards,
Ron
PS: Because of people like you, I don’t need the $100 million the establishment candidates will have. But I do need your help. $25, $50, $100, or even more–whatever you can send would do so much good, and be so much help. Thank you!
Rat Says: Here is a clip of President Bush commenting on the Amnesty Bill he failed to shove through the Senate. Notice he is visibly shaken, almost like his bosses are going to punish him for his ineptness. What we are witnessing is the beginnings of the “lame duck” segment of George Bush’s presidency. The only trick this man has left in his bag is the worst of all of them. Starting an illegal war, this time with Iran and probably Syria soon there after. We stopped amnesty we can stop illegal wars. Hey frat boy… see ya at the bill signing!
