    Romney Revolt at Liberty University

    Keep your Romney, give us Ron Paul

    The John McCain, eh sorry, the Mitt Romney campaign replayed a scene from past failed Republican candidates yesterday. They announced in the morning that Governor Romney would be the commencement speaker at Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia. The school founded, by Jerry Falwell, is touted as the largest Christian University in the world. And in the afternoon they announced that openly gay, Richard Grenell, would be Romney’s new national security and foreign policy spokesman.

    Students at Liberty were in an uproar. Not over Grenell, but over the University choosing Romney instead of their beloved Ron Paul. The firestorm began on the University’s own website, where the thread hit 700 comments in a couple of hours. The discussion was promptly censored and then shut down proving that the University is not very aptly named. But the discussion moved onto Facebook where it continues to spread.

    (You can also join the discussion here.) Doug Wead: Author, Speaker, Presidential Historian | Facebook

    Ron Paul has a large support base on campuses in general, all campuses, Christian or otherwise. According to Braedon Wilkerson, Ron Paul district coordinator, he carried the city of Lynchburg by a 51-49% margin and the newly created Liberty University precinct 60-40%. “The campus and the city belong to Ron Paul.”

    Maybe not. It turns out that the campus resides on the Carter Glass’ estate. This is the same Senator Glass of the famous Glass-Owen act which established the Federal Reserve. There is even a plaque erected to him on campus, honoring the central bank. Mark DeMoss, who is the evangelical liaison for Mitt Romney, is on the Liberty board of directors.

    Meanwhile, the Richard Grenell appointment sparked a fury of emails from prominent Newt Gingrich evangelicals who see the betrayal of their movement as imminent. As a former congressman wrote to me, “once again evangelicals get hind tit (sic).”

    Tony Perkins, Gary Bauer and “the Policy boys” of Family Research Council get most of the criticism.

    A common suspicion of prominent evangelicals is that they sold the evangelical vote to Senator Rick Santorum in exchange for money to their nonprofit corporations even though Newt Gingrich was the more viable candidate. Indeed, the Iowa FRC leader Bob Vander Platts was reportedly asking Santorum for a million dollars. He eventually supported Santorum. Presumably, a national endorsement would be worth more.

    A leader says, “They split the evangelical vote last time by dividing the Huckabee vote with Fred Thompson, giving us McCain as a result. ” And now the charge is that they have divided the vote again, giving Santorum a temporary boost, draining Gingrich, and giving Romney the nomination.

    True to the 2008 cycle, Mitt Romney, like John McCain, refused to meet or seek evangelical support early enough. A visit to Liberty now, with the national elections only six months away shows very poor planning. The Romney evangelical meet and greets, which have to be done, should have been done a year ago, when he was planning the elevator for his car garage.

    To announce it on the same day as the Richard Grenell announcement is a clumsy attempt to show respect to both the evangelical and gay communities. Instead it shows that the Romney campaign understands neither one.

    Meanwhile, the Ron Paul campaign continues to chug along. The congressman raised almost as much money as Romney this quarter. He is the only candidate who beats Obama in the recent Rasmussen poll and his television commercials are on the air in Texas where lovers of liberty will appropriately make their last stand.

    Correction: An earlier version of this post stated: ”Ron Paul visited the Liberty University campus in 2008 but he was very poorly treated. He was given a small venue which could not hold the crowd. When he moved outside to speak to the young people who had missed him, the campus police showed up and “escorted” him off campus.”

    This was how it was related to me by a RP staffer who must have remembered it wrong. Several people have pointed out that this version is incorrect. That, in fact, he was given a large venue.
    Thanks everybody, keep me honest. Here is one of the corrections:

    I do have to make a correction to just one piece of this article. I was a State Coordinator for the Ron Paul 2008 campaign and a former Professor at Liberty University. I arranged Ron Paul’s visit to Liberty in 2008. The venue was the Vines Center, which seats c. 10,000. Ron Paul did not have a small venue and did not have to move outside (except to leave). The place was packed, although it was easy to observe that most of those in the audience of 10,000 had been “prepped” to view Ron Paul negatively. Nevertheless it was a polite “coldness”. The “prepping” of the audience beforehand (a couple of days prior I was advised), was the only negative treatment given to Ron Paul during his visit in 2008. I was quite aware that the “leadership” of Liberty University did not support Ron Paul or at least some of his ideas (divided as they were between Huckabee, McCain, and Romney). The only campus police I saw (and remember, I was with Rep. Paul the whole time) were those who escorted us into the Vines Center and then later out. I too am very disappointed to see Liberty University jump on this latest “mainstream Republican” bandwagon. And I am happy to see the tremendous support for Ron Paul today at Liberty University and in Lynchburg, Virginia (where I lived 24 years). I just wanted to correct the “urban legend” regarding his 2008 visit.

    Marco Rubio Wants GOP Dream Act In Place By Fall Semester, In Time For Undocumented Kids

    Marco Rubio Wants GOP DREAM ACT In Place By Fall Semester, In Time For Undocumented Kids

    Washington D.C. – Marco Rubio says he wants his version of the DREAM Act in effect by fall, just in time for undocumented students to be able to attend college fall semester.

    Rubio, in two separate events in Washington D.C., said his plan is still being hammered out, and important details – such as the minimum and maximum age of those who would qualify – were yet to be determined.

    “We’re involving the DREAMers” in the drafting of the measure, he said, using the term that refers to undocumented youth brought to the country by their parents. “We’re involving the kids themselves.”

    Asked by a reporter when it will be introduced in the Senate, Rubio said: “When it’s ready. It won’t be next week.”

    He said he hopes it gets introduced by summer and passed by fall.

    “There are a bunch of kids. . .who want to go to school this fall,” Rubio said at an appearance at the Newseum in Washington, D.C.. “I’m also cognizant that this is an election year,” he added, saying it wouldn’t be easy to get bi-partisan support as the parties vie for elective offices.

    Ron Paul Attracts 2,300-plus Voters to Event in His Former Hometown of Pittsburgh

    University of Pittsburgh and broader community give Dr. Paul an enthusiastic homecoming

    LAKE JACKSON, Texas – 2012 Republican Presidential candidate Ron Paul attracted a remarkable 2,300-plus voters to a town hall meeting in his native city of Pittsburgh.

    News articles from earlier today cite Steel City residents recalling that Dr. Paul served as a high school student council president, and that he was a track star.

    Dr. Paul held his town hall meeting at 7:00 p.m. ET in the University of Pittsburgh’s Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Hall, located at 4141 Fifth Avenue in Pittsburgh, PA 15213. The symbolism of the venue’s name was apparent as Ron Paul, a former Air Force flight surgeon, is the only veteran seeking the Republican nomination for the presidency, or the presidency for that matter.

    At the event the 12-term Congressman from Texas discussed his platform of constitutionally-limited government, the restoration of our economic and civil liberties, and provisions of his path-breaking ‘Plan to Restore America.’

    Photographs of Ron Paul’s Pittsburgh town hall meeting with 2,300-plus people follow.

    Rubio Wants GOP DREAM Act in Place in Time for Fall College Semester

    Washington D.C. – Marco Rubio says he wants his version of the DREAM Act in effect by fall, just in time for undocumented students to be able to attend college fall semester.

    Rubio, in two separate events in Washington D.C., said his plan is still being hammered out, and important details – such as the minimum and maximum age of those who would qualify – were yet to be determined.

    “We’re involving the DREAMers” in the drafting of the measure, he said, using the term that refers to undocumented youth brought to the country by their parents. “We’re involving the kids themselves.”

    Asked by a reporter when it will be introduced in the Senate, Rubio said: “When it’s ready. It won’t be next week.”

    He said he hopes it gets introduced by summer and passed by fall.

    “There are a bunch of kids. . .who want to go to school this fall,” Rubio said at an appearance at the Newseum in Washington, D.C.. “I’m also cognizant that this is an election year,” he added, saying it wouldn’t be easy to get bi-partisan support as the parties vie for elective offices.

    Indeed, several Democrats in Congress say they will not back a plan that does not offer a path to citizenship.

    Charles A. González, chairman of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, said in a press statement: "If the Rubio Plan bars citizenship it would be the first time in modern history that someone has proposed a law that would permanently prohibit citizenship to one segment of American society."

    "Earning citizenship is essential because mere legal residency will serve only as a life sentence to being relegated to an underclass status. It is against the values of our country to ask DREAMers to work hard, pay taxes and sacrifice their lives for our country, but deny them citizenship."

    The number of undocumented youth who would benefit from the DREAM Act has been estimated at between 1 million and 2 million. An estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants live in the United States.

    Rubio said at different events throughout Thursday in the nation's capital that criticism about his plan creating "a permanent underclass" was "not true."
    The senator said that critics who dismiss his plan before it is even finalized are just interested in keeping the inability of undocumented youth to attend college "a political wedge issue," and are not really serious about finding a bipartisan solution.

    "The general concept is that [students] would receive the equivalent of a non-immigrant visa, it legitimizes you," he said of his alternate DREAM Act proposal. "It doesn't allow you to to become a resident or citizen, however it doesn't prohibit you from applying."

    "There's no limbo" that the students will be stuck in under his plan, he said. "The limbo is what they're in now."

    Rubio often invoked the name of Daniela Peláez, a Florida high school student who is graduating as valedictorian and has been accepted to some of the nation’s top schools, but who was facing deportation (she won a two-year reprieve recently).

    He said youth like Daniela should be allowed to obtain a non-immigrant visa, which would allow them to study, work, and get a driver’s license, but not grant them permanent residency. Perhaps, Rubio said, they could obtain visas that last five, or ten years, and maybe they’d be able to renew them.

    "Daniela has been raised here her whole life," Rubio said. "She grew up in our public schools, did everything her parents asked of her, everything her teachers asked of her."

    If they want to stay in the United States, they would have to apply like everyone else around the world, he said, and wait their turn, possibly back in their homeland. Rubio's plan also would not call on states to charge in-state tuition rates to undocumented students -- now many of them are charged out-of-state tuition, which can be twice as high -- nor would it give them access to financial aid.

    “We want to make sure we don’t do anything that rewards illegal immigration,” he said.

    A Fox News Latino poll this year showed that nearly 90 percent of the more than 1,000 Latino likely voters surveyed nationwide support the DREAM Act, which would allow undocumented immigrants brought to the country as minors to legalize their status if they attend college or serve in the military, among other things.

    The Hispanic Leadership Network, which describes itself as a "centrist-right" organization, commissioned a survey on voters' attitudes about Rubio's alternative to a DREAM Act and reports that 83-12 percent of respondents support "allowing children of undocumented immigrants who have been here for years to obtain legal residency status after their honorable discharge from service in the U.S. military."

    HLN says its survey also showed that by 67 to 29 percent, American voters support "allowing children of undocumented immigrants who have been here for years to obtain legal residency status if they graduate from college."
    The general concept is that [students] would receive the equivalent of a non-immigrant visa, it legitimizes you. . .It doesn't allow you to to become a resident or citizen, however it doesn't prohibit you from applying.
    - Sen. Marco Rubio on his developing DREAM Act plan

    After the Newseum event, Rubio met with a small group of selected Hispanic reporters that was aimed at sending a message directly to Latinos – a group that remains divided about the junior senator, but who many high-ranking Republicans increasingly see as a vital to a victory in the November presidential elections.

    Rubio is often mentioned as one of the candidates on a short list for the GOP vice presidential slot.

    Like most others over the years who are rumored to be contenders for vice president, Rubio has said he is not seeking to be the running mate of the GOP presidential nominee, who is likely to be former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney.

    But that does not stop the talk about Vice President Rubio.

    Earlier this year, Newt Gingrich said that any of the candidates in the GOP presidential primary who did not seriously consider Rubio as a running mate must not really want to be president.

    Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush said Rubio would be an ideal vice presidential candidate, and his son Jeb Bush Jr. concurred, saying that Rubio would energize the party’s conservative base, which has been ambivalent about Romney.

    But whether he is tapped – or not -- as a running mate by the GOP presidential nominee, Rubio arguably will have an influential role in the campaign as the party pursues a Florida victory and the support of Hispanic voters nationwide.

    The GOP primary turned at times into a race to see which of the candidates had the most unyielding take-no-prisoners approach to illegal immigration, and candidates variously positioned themselves as being the most hard-line about border security, not giving undocumented immigrants a chance to legalize their status, and vowing to make English the nation’s official language.

    Even while various polls have showed that most Hispanic likely voters report being more concerned about jobs, the economy and healthcare than about immigration, they can sour on a candidate who seems to be slamming Latinos when addressing immigration and English as the official language.

    Hispanics number some 50 million in the United States, according to the 2010 Census; about 20 million are eligible to vote.

    Though as a voting bloc, they tend to lean Democratic when they cast their ballots, they have not hesitated to support a Republican whose message and views resonate with them. Some 44 percent of Latino voters in 2004 supported George Bush, who pushed for comprehensive immigration reform that would have included an expanded guest worker program and a path to legalization for certain undocumented immigrants.

    Some have questioned whether Rubio's GOP DREAM effort is politically motivated; he denied that it is on Thursday.

    He acknowledged that Republicans must make greater strides to repair their image among Hispanics, but said his DREAM Act idea was not an election-year ploy.

    During GOP primary debates, Romney flatly said that as president, he would veto the DREAM Act that has been proposed in Congress.

    But Rubio said Romney has indicated that he would be open to considering a conservative alternative such as the one the Florida senator is developing.

    Shortly after Rubio concluded his meeting with reporters, the Congressional Hispanic Caucus and undocumented students – or “DREAMers,” as they’re called -- announced the launch of a voting campaign called “Su Voz, Mi Voto,” or “Their Voice, My Vote.”

    The campaign, according to a press release by the caucus, aims to urge Latinos to keep in mind that their vote in November “will be the voice for their undocumented friends, family members and classmates,” as a caucus press release put it.

    Those who favor strict immigration enforcement oppose the DREAM Act, and other proposals that give the undocumented a pathway to legalization, saying that such measures reward lawbreakers and would only encourage more illegal immigration.

    During the GOP debates last fall, Romney assailed then-candidate Rick Perry, the Texas governor, for having a version of the DREAM Act in his state.
    Rubio long had said he opposes the DREAM Act, because it would generate chain migration – where immigrants who have a green card or are naturalized citizens can then petition for family members overseas to gain legal permanent residency in the United States.

    The DREAM Act passed in the House of Representatives in 2010, but not in the Senate.

    Gingrich has said he supports allowing undocumented youth who, say, have served in the military to get conditional legal status, but not full citizenship.
    "People of good will strongly disagree over many aspects of the immigration debate," said HLN Executive Director Jennifer S. Korn. "But allowing the children of undocumented immigrants who have grown up in America the opportunity to earn legal status with a work visa if they serve honorably in the military or graduate from college is one aspect of that debate that unites most Americans across party and racial lines."

    Advocates for more lenient immigration policies said they welcome Rubio's efforts, but their praise was tempered.

    "We welcome the renewed focus on immigration reform," said Ali Noorani, executive director of the National Immigration Forum. "It is clear both parties have realized fixing the immigration system is good policy and good politics."

    "It's good to see Senator Rubio talking to the press about his ideas on reform. But, the time is near for Senator Rubio to introduce legislative language and define a path forward that secures necessary Republican votes."

    A MATTER OF NATIONAL SECURITY

    A nation without borders is no nation at all.

    It just doesn’t make sense to fight terrorists abroad while leaving our front door unlocked.

    Unfortunately, for far too long, neither major political party has had the courage to do what is necessary to tackle the problem.

    Instead, we’re presented with so-called “solutions” that involve amnesty proposals or further restricting Americans’ civil liberties through programs like REAL ID.

    Ron Paul opposes both of these schemes and believes they will only make illegal immigration and the problems associated with it worse. He has been proud to see states exercising their Tenth Amendment rights and protecting their citizens by refusing to comply with the unconstitutional REAL ID law.

    While the federal government neglects its constitutional responsibility to protect our borders, it continues to push mandates on the states to provide free education and medical care to illegal immigrants at a time when the states are drowning in debt. This must not be tolerated any longer.

    Like most Americans, Ron Paul also understands just how valuable legal immigration is to our country.

    Immigrants who want to work hard, obey our laws, and live the American Dream have always been great assets.

    COMMON SENSE REFORMS

    If elected President, Ron Paul will work to implement the following common sense reforms:

    * Enforce Border Security – America should be guarding her own borders and enforcing her own laws instead of policing the world and implementing UN mandates.

    * No Amnesty - The Obama Administration’s endorsement of so-called “Comprehensive Immigration Reform,” granting amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants, will only encourage more law-breaking.

    * Abolish the Welfare State – Taxpayers cannot continue to pay the high costs to sustain this powerful incentive for illegal immigration. As Milton Friedman famously said, you can’t have open borders and a welfare state.

    * End Birthright Citizenship – As long as illegal immigrants know their children born here will be granted U.S. citizenship, we’ll never be able to control our immigration problem.

    * Protect Lawful Immigrants – As President, Ron Paul will encourage legal immigration by streamlining the entry process without rewarding lawbreakers.

    As long as our borders remain wide open, the security and safety of the American people are at stake.

    As President, Ron Paul will address immigration by fighting for effective solutions that protect our nation, uphold the rule of law, and respect every American citizen’s civil liberties.

    Democrats don't understand the DEBT CEILING

    Liberals don't understand the DEBT CEILING

    Many Republicans don't understand the DEBT CEILING

    NO ONE seems to understand the DEBT CEILING.

    So...Allow me to explain...

    Let's say you come home from work and find there has been a sewer backup in your neighborhood. Your home has sewage all the way up to your ceilings.

    What do you think you should do?

    Raise the ceilings, or pump out the Crap?

    Your choice is coming in November. Don't miss the opportunity.

    Breaking: Oklahoma District 4 Ron Paul Revolution Delegate Sweep!

    Submitted by flybeech on Sat, 04/21/2012 - 18:21


    Ron Paul swept the entire Oklahoma District 4 convention! The Ron Paul R3volution continues in the Sooner State.

    There was nothing the establishment could do to stop the surgical precision of the Ron Paul movement, as we swept the entire District 4 convention. Shock and awe was the order of the day and Ron Paul now dominates Oklahoma. The spirit of Ron Paul controls Oklahoma District 3, 4 and 5 and our delegates are going to Tampa. Next, we will fight to fill the slate in the upcoming election of the at-large Oklahoma delegates and see what we can do about some rules.

    When Ron Paul needs delegates, the Sooner State delivers.

    The four GOP district conventions are underway in Iowa today and delegates are electing the board members who will govern the Republican Party of Iowa. Each of Iowa’s four district gets four members on the state central committee. They serve two years.
    1st District
    Dave Cushman of Dubuque County, a Ron Paul backer...

    2nd District
    Jeff Shipley of Jefferson County, a Ron Paul backer
    Marcus Fedler of Washington County, a Ron Paul supporter...

    3rd District
    Joel Kurtinitis of Polk County, a Ron Paul supporter
    John Kabitzke of Warren County, a Ron Paul backer...

    4th District
    Kris Thiessen of Clay County, a Ron Paul backer....

    Also, from Craig Robinson:
    Ron Paul supporters/allies control 10 votes on Iowa Republican state central committee. Out of 18 total votes.

    Its my understanding that Ron Paul supporters will control the Iowa Republican state Central Committee with a comfortable margin.
