    Help Ron Paul keep his Congressional Seat

    Please see the message from Ron Paul below:

    Website to Donate to Campaign:
    http://www.ronpaulforcongress.com/html/waystohelp.html

    February 18, 2008


    The DC neocons think their old dream is about to come true. They
    think they can defeat me in the Republican congressional primary in Texas
    on March 4th. And you know what? They may be right.

    My opponent, who describes himself as a traditional conservative, is a
    dedicated servitor of all the special interests who have given us the
    disaster of recent years, from unconstitutional wars to a looming
    recession, from huge deficits to massive new welfare programs.

    A Republican operative allied with the worst forces in DC recently
    said: "Give what you can [to Ron Paul's opponent]. Ron Paul is running
    scared -- using his Presidential campaign's donors' money to subsidize
    a desperate last-minute attempt to save his Congressional seat."

    That is a lie, of course. It is illegal to use presidential campaign
    donations in my congressional race. The congressional campaign has to
    stand on its own. But so far, we have raised only about a third of
    what a well-funded effort would need.


    In my 10 terms in Congress, I have not only been able to serve my
    constituents, and help them, for example, negotiate federal red-tape. I
    have also been able to defend our principles of less spending, lower
    taxes, no inflation, and strict adherence to the Constitution. Some
    people in DC laugh at the idea that I should obey my oath of office, and ask
    first of any proposed legislation, is it constitutional? But I know
    that you share my support for the vision of the framers.

    My friend Congressmen Wayne Gilchrest (R-Maryland) was just defeated in
    his primary election by a neocon fraud similar to the one I face. My
    friend Walter Jones (R-North Carolina) is under heavy pressure as
    well. People like our hand-picked opponents will do anything to gain and
    keep power. They represent everything that is wrong with DC.

    If I am defeated in the upcoming congressional primary, our ideas will
    be held to have been defeated as well. It will be proclaimed from the
    rooftops in DC that such "ridiculous and outmoded notions" as the free
    market, sound money, personal liberty, limited government, and a
    pro-American foreign policy are through.


    I am determined not to let this happen. All that you and I believe in
    is far too important to the future of our country, and to everyone and
    everything we love, to let the neocons dance on its grave.

    Please, help me stop the lies, the distortions, the pressure groups,
    the special interests that benefit from DC rip-offs. There is still
    time to run radio and tv ads, to set up phone banks, to get out the vote.
    But unless you help, my reelection to Congress may be in jeopardy.

    Please help me return to Congress to fight for the people of my
    district, and for the ideas that can save our country from the path to trouble
    we are now on.

    I hesitated to ask you, since you have already done so much. But my
    wife Carol said, "When you need help, you ask your best friends." So I
    do ask you, to hold out your hand in support.

    Please give today http://www.ronpaulforcongress.com, as generously and
    as quickly as you can.

    Sincerely,

    Ron

    The Republican Party is getting more loathsome by the day.

    In 2006 the state of IN lost two congressmen due to last minute redistricting. Both were very much against amnesty.

    Hostettler and Sodrel.

    The Republican party threw them under the bus.

    This is just another attempt by the GOP to distance itself from conservitism. Party cronyism reigns.

    Fellow Ron Paul supporters may want to take a look at the website in my signature and the candidates listed there:

    http://paulcongress.com/Candidates.html

    There are people running for the Senate and the House in CA, CO, CT, FL, GA, IL, IN, LA, MI, MD, NC, NH, NJ, NV, NY, OH, SC, TX, VA, and WI who reflect Ron Paul's stances in varying degrees. The stances vary somewhat from candidate to candidate.

    However, most of these people want illegals deported and employers who hire them punished. It's worth a look if you live in these states.

    I would expect nothing less from Sean, he is a mouthpiece for the GOP, nothing more.

    Rush Limbaugh is better....................better at disguising it!

    Atleast Rush tells his audience that he is running a business..........after that, it is up to the listener to pick things apart.

    Disheartened.

    I am very disheartened to learn that Texans on this forum voted for Huckabee rather than their own Ron Paul. If this is the way it is going...he may not get his seat back. I hope the GOP crashes...they deserve nothing better than Barak Obama.

    I donated to his congressional campaign a couple weeks ago. It looks like he raised a lot of money over the past couple of days and hopefully it will help. It would be very sad to see him lose this.

    Yes...

    Yes ..it would be a travesty. If he loses it ...I pray he dumps the GOP and goes to the Libertarian party and brings everyone with him. The Libertarians would love to have him.

    I donated to his congressional seat yesterday. I do see that he is very close to 1million right now. I can't believe this is happening. I do hope he leaves the Republican party. I will follow him wherever he goes. I want to vote for the best canidate, not a party anymore. I'm done with all these games. Over it!
