    A call for unity between Paul supporters and Johnson supporters.

    I have seen the war between Ron Paul supporters and Gary Johnson supporters and I think it is rather silly that people in this movement have such a hard time following Ron Paul's advice. It is pretty simple to me.

    We can not force our goodwill on anyone, we can only set good examples and hope people wish to emulate us. --Ron Paul

    My suggestion would be that if you support Gary Johnson fine support him, that is what freedom is, If you support Ron Paul fine, most of us here do support Ron Paul and have for several years. If you support both fine, but lets stop eating our own.

    The goal should be to grow the liberty movement not divide it, great movements are always destroyed from within, not the other way around.

    I have seen the arguments from both sides and many statements are misguided. The whole notion that some claim they are turned off on Gary Johnson because Johnson supporters are trying to cram Johnson down your throats is the same excuse where many called people that didn't support Ron Paul sheep because, those people claimed they wouldn't support Ron Paul because Ron Paul supporters tried to force Paul on them. Do you see how silly that argument is?

    How can anyone force anyone else to support someone?

    My suggestion would be if you are not going to support Johnson fine, don't result to name calling of Johnson supporters, this makes you no better than the people that did the same thing to Ron Paul that pisses us off. Talking to people in a civil manner goes a long way, insulting them is counter productive and will accomplish nothing more than to isolate people that may share many of the same things you support.

    You may not like the people you are working with, they may not like you, but we are all supposed to be working towards the same goal. So why don't we start with the things we agree on first and worry about the rest later?

    Michael Badnarik said this best : We agree with each other about 98% of the time on most issues but, we spend 98% of the time bitching, complaining and arguing about the 2% we disagree on, this is why nothing gets done, and he is correct!
    You don't like a post don't read it, it is easy to ignore posts and comments. You don't have to agree with people but you do need to find a way to work together to grow the movement and attempt to effect real change this country needs or we will accomplish nothing. Take the high road and let freedom work for a change.

    For the record I have not given my support to Gary Johnson although I did spend some private time with him at paulfest in Tampa. My vote is just that MY VOTE! I will not tell others what to do with their vote, please don't tell others what to do with theirs. Set good examples and educate them in a civil manner, you will win more people over that way in the long and short term.

    If we continue down this us vs them attitude we only divide our numbers even more, I prefer to follow Ron Paul's example of integrity and I hope you will as well.

    Published on Sep 4, 2012 by Congressman Ron Paul

    Congressman Ron Paul delivered this Congressional lecture on "The Great Enabler: The Rise of the Federal Reserve and the Growth of Government." The introduction was given by Senator Rand Paul. As a continuing educational tool this lecture was filmed and is provided to the public.

    Congressman Paul explains in this lecture the Federal Reserve's role as the enabler of big government. Through purchases of government debt, the Fed allows the government to spend beyond its means and contributes to the growth of the welfare-warfare state. If leviathan government is to be countered, understanding monetary policy and the fundamental role it plays in the relentless growth of government is a necessary first step.

    GOP Suing to Keep Third Parties Off Ballot in November

    Joe Wolverton, II
    New American
    Sept 6, 2012
    Around the country, the Republican Party is mounting legal challenges to keep third-party candidates off the ballot in November.

    Writer Karl Dickey reports in the Examiner that “in recent weeks, with the full support and legal assistance of the Republican Party, [Gary] Johnson’s ballot status has been challenged in Michigan, Pennsylvania, the District of Columbia, Iowa and now Ohio.” Gary Johnson (pictured) is the former governor of New Mexico and the Libertarian Party’s candidate for president of the United States. As of this writing, Johnson is on the ballot in 43 states.

    On September 1 the Ohio voters challenging Johnson’s appearance on the November ballot officially withdrew their opposition. In the one-page notice filed with the office of Ohio’s Secretary of State, Kelly Mills and Cynthia Rees did not explain their decision to drop their protest.

    It could be related to the decision of the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals decision handed down on August 31 dismissing the Ohio state legislature’s appeal of a U.S. district court ruling putting the Libertarian Party on the ballot for 2012.

    On August 31, a senior advisor to Johnson released a statement regarding the various efforts to block Libertarian ballot access:

    The national Republican Party may not want to publicly acknowledge the presence of a true fiscal conservative in this race, but they are certainly taking Gov. Johnson seriously enough to engage in a concerted campaign to get his name off ballots in key states before voters even get a chance to vote.

    In states across the nation, Republican operatives, lawyers, and in some cases, elected officials, are filing frivolous challenges to Governor Johnson’s ballot status. They know that even if their challenges fail, fending them off is a drain on our resources and a distraction from the real issues in this campaign. We don’t have hundreds of millions of dollars to throw around, nor do we have the Republicans’ endless supply of lawyers.

    We have dealt with many challenges in this campaign from the major parties, who clearly don’t want voters to have a viable third option in this election, but this attack on voting rights and democracy is over the top.
    Governor Johnson has made it clear that we will fight every one of these challenges and do everything in our power to be on the ballot in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. The prospect of a successful two-term governor who is a proven fiscal conservative and champion of social tolerance may be a thorn in the sides of the two so-called major parties, but Governor Johnson will not be deterred in his effort to give voters a real choice in November.

    Despite the frustration such legal wrangling must cause the Johnson campaign, they were likely pleased by the decision announced late last week to allow Johnson’s name to appear on the ballot in Iowa.

    As reported by the Washington Times:

    Two Iowa voters had challenged his candidacy last week and Jay Kramer, a Romney campaign staffer, signed as a witness the challenge that Libertarians’ convention at the Iowa State Fair wasn’t real.

    Republican Secretary of State Matt Schultz, Democratic Attorney General Tom Miller, and Warren Jenkins, the chief deputy for Republican Auditor David Vaudt, said Iowa’s law on holding conventions to get on the ballot is vague and they opted to err on the side of open ballot access, the AP reported.

    Johnson reportedly told the Washington Times that he will be the only third-party candidate whose name will appear on the ballot in all 50 states.

    Remarkably, this may be the case.

    On August 21, the Constitution Party withdrew their petition to get on the ballot in Pennsylvania. According to a story published online by Philadelphia Weekly, “the decision came after multiple warnings of the court costs by attorneys for the Republican Party, who have challenged the Constitution and Libertarian parties’ ballot petitions.”

    Former Virginia Congressman Virgil Goode is joined on the Constitution Party’s presidential ticket by Pennsylvania attorney James Clymer.

    “The challenge represented a monolithic establishment party which is intent on denying people the opportunity to vote for anyone who might criticize it from a limited government, non-interventionist perspective,” Clymer told Philadelphia Weekly. “It used its almost limitless resources to take advantage of laws designed by Republicans and Democrats to make sure no other party has a place at the election table and court decisions that have supported raising the hurdles a third party has to jump over to get to a general election,” he added.

    The Philadelphia Weekly story reports that the Constitution Party presented 35,000 signatures to Pennsylvania state election authorities on August 1, more than the minimum number needed to qualify for ballot inclusion.

    “This means yet another voice in Pennsylvania is stilled,” said Bob Small, facilitator for the Pennsylvania Ballot Access Coalition, the blog reports.
    Despite the setback in the Keystone State, the Washington Post reports that Goode’s name will appear on the ballot in his home state in November.

    According to the story in the Washington Post, the Virginia State Board of Elections ruled September 4 that Goode has qualified for the presidential ballot in Virginia.

    The story indicated that the opportunity for Virginians to vote for a third-party candidate could be “a potential obstacle to Republican Mitt Romney’s hopes of winning the pivotal state.”

    Republicans in the Old Dominion are desperate to keep their state in the Romney tally, however, and are continuing to challenge the board’s decision. The Washington Post reports that the Virginia GOP is alleging petition fraud on the part of the Constitution Party in the hopes of keeping Goode’s name off the ballot. They are afraid the former congressman could “siphon votes from Romney.”

    If the last presidential election is any guide, Romney may have reason to fight for every vote. In 2008 Barack Obama won the state, the first time the Democratic candidate had done so in over 40 years.

    Recent polls have Romney and Obama running neck and neck in Virginia.
    Results of a survey conducted by Public Policy Polling in July show Goode receiving nine percent of the vote, up from five percent in May.

    Finally, although many hoped that Ron Paul would have announced a third-party run during his appearance Tuesday on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno, the good doctor made no such declaration.

    Paul’s apparent absence on the ballot leaves many wondering where to look for relief from the rule of the two major parties, both of which seem to be controlled by the same small coterie of Establishment insiders.

    For their part, the Libertarian Party and the Constitution Party are promoting their candidates as attractive alternatives, at least in those states where the Republican Party isn’t threatening them with expensive and protracted legal battles.

    If you live in Virginia and don't want Romney to win, Virgil Goode is your man. The GOP and Romney tried to prevent him from getting on the ballot, but he got on. They are now trying to remove him from it. Even if you don't like him, he is the key to Romney not winning in this battleground state.

    EPJ: The Scariest Thing about Living in the United States

    Economic Policy Journal:
    It is not the Federal Reserve and high price inflation----though that is very serious.

    It is the growing capability of the U.S. government to monitor all our activities and record them for future reference. As the country gets more totalitarian, more and more people will get caught in the web. Brandon Raub was an early example.

    Down the road there may not be a Rutherford Institute to leap to the defense of others---and, indeed, a defense might even be ignored.

    Here's a short video by a former NSA employee blowing the whistle on what is being developed and how detailed the tracking will be
