With Rick Santorum out of the race, Ron Paul and his supporters are the last remaining obstacle standing in the way of establishment darling Mitt Romney securing the Republican nomination.
So you can be sure the establishment is gearing up to pull out every dirty trick in the book to SHUT OUT Ron Paul supporters from the National Convention.
Your generous contribution will help our campaign double down on our efforts to pick up delegates where it really counts.
The truth is, these next two months will be make-or-break for our campaign to Restore America NOW!
During this time, more than nine states will be holding massive Conventions to select National Delegates to Tampa, Florida – the delegates that will ultimately choose the Republican nominee.
National Delegates will also be chosen at numerous District Conventions taking place all across the country.
At each of these Conventions, Ron Paul supporters have an excellent chance to secure crucial delegate spots.
There are also the Texas and California primaries – where hundreds of delegates will be up for grabs.
And after all the hard work we’ve all put in over the past year, I hope you agree that we can’t afford to cut back now.
Make no mistake, this fight isn’t going to be easy.
If we’re going to stop the establishment from shutting out Ron Paul, our campaign must have the resources to fight back against their election machine.
That means hundreds of thousands of phone calls must be made, targeted direct mail and emails need to be sent out, and we must be able to run hard-hitting TV and radio ads.
Since we know they’re going to get really nasty, there’s also the cost of lawyers, legal fees, and other resources we’ll need to stop their dirty schemes.
I’m confident if we have the resources to effectively fight back, we will be able to overcome their tactics and elect a large number of National Delegates for Ron Paul.
And it’s absolutely vital we have the funds to get his message of peace and prosperity out to undecided voters in Texas, California, and as many other upcoming states as possible.
But Ron Paul’s ability to win depends on the generosity and support of good folks like you.
Take St. Charles County, Missouri, for instance.
As you remember, the original caucus there was canceled after the establishment attempted to railroad Ron Paul supporters – leading to riot police and the arrest of Ron Paul supporter Brent Stafford.
The caucus re-do took place this past Tuesday and was run by the State Party to ensure fairness.
Thanks to your continued support, Ron Paul supporters turned out in droves – outnumbering Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum’s combined attempt to shut Ron Paul delegates out.
Brent Stafford was elected Caucus Chair, and he ran the caucus in a very professional and fair manner.
When all was said and done, Ron Paul WON every single delegate and alternate delegate out of St. Charles – which is the largest Republican County in the entire state of Missouri.
Over the past year, you and I have fought hard against the establishment.
We’ve overcome their backroom deals, flat-out lies, and other manipulation tactics.
As a result, Ron Paul is in a position to compete at the National Convention.
But at these final conventions is where our battle gets really heated. We must be able to fight back so we can win as many delegates as possible for Ron Paul.
P.S. Over the next two months, Ron Paul supporters will be competing for National Delegate spots at over nine State Conventions – as well as dozens of Congressional District Conventions all across the country.
And we’ll also be going all-out to pick up as many delegates as possible in the Texas and California Republican Primaries.
You may have heard the attack on Ann Romney by a prominent Democratic insider, who is also a frequent visitor to the White House, saying she “never worked a day in her life.”
This is another example of the disdain the inside-the-beltway elites hold for the values you and I - and millions of Americans - hold dear.
I have witnessed first-hand, with both my mother and my wife, that you cannot place a dollar sign on the work a mother puts into raising her children.
You and I know the family is the backbone of any good and prosperous society and mothers whose calling is to raise their families full time at home should be praised, not put down by an elitist, partisan attack dog.
Moms every where were outraged.
So I wanted to pass along the reaction from my wife, Kelley, to this attack on the family.
“I've seen both sides of the equation. I worked for a decade in marketing for the telecommunications industry and for more than a decade raising three sons.
I stand with Ann Romney and millions of other moms who know that being a full time mom to young children is definitely hard work.
This administration's attack dogs and their cynical attempts to rally their extreme base will backfire. They should call a cease fire to their war on the family.”
I think that pretty much sums it up.

It is being reported right now that the “gay pride” rainbow flag was flown above an operating U.S. military base in Afghanistan.
That’s right, the radical Homosexual Lobby is trying to claim dominance over our troops fighting over seas!
The very idea that any American would be pleased by this disgusting display and breach of the military’s procedures is beyond me -- but the Homosexual Lobby is praising this story for all its worth.
It doesn’t matter to them that the majority of men and women serving in uniform are utterly appalled by the Homosexual Agenda.
This incident is a direct result of the Homosexual Lobby’s skyrocketing influence in military affairs -- starting with the repeal of Don’t Ask Don’t Tell.
Soldiers are not allowed to speak up against pro-homosexual displays without risking punishment.
And worst of all, while Obama instantly apologized for the accidently burning of Korans, he has not said one word against the despicable flight of the homosexual flag over a military base.
My friend, this is their vision for our future:
One nation, bound in sin, obedient to the Homosexual Agenda.
Thankfully this incident is under investigation, but the lack of outrage from leadership in the military or the White House is a troubling indicator that they will let this violation of the military pass.
Pro-Family Americans have to let the establishment know that we demand better.

In the popular Bible study program, The Alpha Course, near the end of the 13th session, video presenter Nicky Gumbel quotes a high Vatican official stating why Christians should work in unity with Roman Catholicism: “What unites us as Christians, right across the denominations, is infinitely greater than what divides us.”
Bible believers, who know the unbiblical teachings of the pope, know that this is a bold lie. Yet, this deception has become a central theme of Rome’s attempt to woo back the “separated brethren,” the unprotesting “Protestants.” After executing tens of millions of “heretics” over several centuries, Catholic leaders decided to change tactics. The Reformation succeeded in putting a spotlight on the atrocities of the Inquisitions. Satan saw that he must change the tactics he was using through this false “church.” When Hitler failed to establish a new Holy Roman Empire, the Vatican came up with the Vatican Ecumenical Council II. This produced the propaganda that Roman Catholicism had somehow changed to become just another Christian denomination with a little different “worship tradition.” Protestants were no longer heretics, but separated brethren; all “Christians” must work together for “peace and justice,” finding common causes such as abortion, poverty, and world hunger. The old ideas of the pope being the anti-Christ and Catholics needing to be born again were now obsolete. This new tactic, called “ecumenism,” has succeeded in blunting the Protestant efforts at winning Roman Catholics to full assurance of salvation in Christ.
So, why is this Alpha statement a lie? Do Bible believers really have more in common with Roman Catholics than our differences? Author Rick Jones was raised a Roman Catholic and saw firsthand its teachings. In his book, Understanding Roman Catholicism, he examines 37 doctrines held by the pope that directly contradict biblical teachings. Jones points out at the beginning that Bible believers and Catholicism disagree at the very basic level: what is the final authority for truth.
Jones quotes from the official 1994 Catechism of the Catholic Church showing that Roman Catholic Tradition and something called the “Magisterium” stand equal with the Bible in authority. In fact, the Magisterium trumps the Bible because it delegates to the “church” the sole right to interpret the Bible.
Thus, when Catholics are told it is okay to read the Bible, they are warned that they won’t understand it because they need the “church” to explain it to them. For example, where Mark 6:3 speaks of Jesus having brothers and sisters, Rome teaches that these were actually cousins or other relatives because Jesus’ mother, Mary, was a perpetual virgin after she gave birth to Jesus. (See also Matt. 13:55 and Galatians 1:19.) This interpretation is necessary because it would not be appropriate for the Virgin Mary goddess to have born other, normal children.
Jones goes on to explain how Roman teaching on salvation is unbiblical since it must come through the “church” and not through Christ alone. And it is not simple salvation by faith, alone, but requires certain good works and rituals.
Couple these with other unbiblical teachings such as purgatory, worship of the wafer god, the pope’s priestcraft hierarchy, infant baptism, prayer to saints, bowing to idols, confession to a priest instead of God, forbidding to marry, and vain repetition in prayer, and there is no way that what we agree on is greater than what we disagree on. Let’s expose this lie every chance we get. Over a billion precious souls are deceived by this masterpiece of Satan. Chick Publications provides a wide range of tracts and books exposing this prostitute church as the great Whore of Revelation 17 and 18.
Many Christians are saddened to learn that Rick Santorum suspended his Presidential campaign. "Christians must seek God and ask who is the most God-fearing person running for President," says Pastor Steven Andrew, President of USA Christian Ministries. He is calling whole churches and individual Christians to fast and pray every Wednesday through January 2013 to seek God's counsel and help for our nation.
"I want to ask you now to join me in getting America back on track with God," he says.
The ministry president believes God wants a government and nation after God's own heart. This means that if Republicans fail to give a Christian candidate, Christians should look elsewhere. However, he believes that after Santorum, then Ron Paul is the most God-fearing Presidential candidate that Christians should support (Exodus 18:21).
"Christians are to vote for Christians, not non-Christians Mitt Romney and Barack Obama," he adds.
The pastor explains that the First Commandment tells us to love God with all our heart, soul, mind and strength (Mark 12:30). And the first of the Ten Commandments say to have no other God before the LORD (Exodus 20:3). Therefore, God calls Christians to vote for Christians, not the lesser of two evils.
"If a pastor or a Christian leader says to support Romney or Obama, don't listen to them. They are going against Scripture," he continues. "The Bible teaches that Romney and Obama believe in a different Jesus, not the Biblical Jesus Christ."
"God says Romney and Obama are 'accursed' and therefore those who vote for them are also accursed. No one wants to be accursed," he adds. This is based on Galatians 1:9 which says, "____". In addition, the Holy Bible says, "____" (2 Chronicles 19:2).
Obama covers Jesus' name and cross at Georgetown, advocates to leave living babies to die who survive botched abortions, promotes homosexual sin and opposes religious liberty.

Dictators, tyrants, communists and cult leaders all have one thing in common: successful indoctrination. Indoctrination is the process by which long-held beliefs are slowly chipped away using a chisel of fear and falsehoods. The Obama family is attempting to indoctrinate every generation of Americans. Don’t be fooled. It is not a mere campaigning strategy; it is a calculated tactic to lead America away from her foundational principles.
At every stage of life, one is bombarded with liberal propaganda. The inundation is enough to make one lose his mind. And that’s the whole point. It’s simple psychology. If you are exposed to something enough, you will become more and more accepting of it — no matter how far afield you originally thought it was.
Fresh Out Of The Womb
It starts as soon as baby arrives. Barack Obama wants you to beautify your newborn with an Obama bib. What better time to start? The child is a blank slate. Nothing has to be erased. It is practically a dictator’s dream. Imagine Adolf Hitler’s delight if all the babies in Germany could have donned Hitler apparel while drinking the milk of their oppressed mothers.
Truthfully, I have considered buying one of these. It would work well as a burp cloth. From a young age, a child can learn the correlation between the need to vomit and the name “Obama.”
No Longer With Mommy, Now With Michelle
Once the bib comes off and it’s time for school, the indoctrination only increases. Who knows? Your child may get to eat lunch with the first lady. If your child’s school isn’t fortunate enough to have her visit in person, he can still watch her on TV or perhaps attend a live event.
It’s hard to say “no” to a grandchild. Yet another reason the kids are targeted. While speaking in San Francisco, Michelle Obama said:
I mean, I can’t tell you in the last election how many grandparents I ran into who said, “I wasn’t going to vote for Barack Obama until my grandson talked to me, until my great-grandson talked to me, and talked about the future he wanted for this country.”
You can get out there with your parents. You guys can knock on doors. I had one young lady who brought me a petition — she’s already working. You can convince wrong people. Sometimes we don’t listen to ourselves, but we will listen to our children.
Indoctrinate U
When it’s time for the bib wearer-turned-campaigner to go off to college, don’t be surprised if the indoctrination escalates. A recent study investigated the University of California system, which consists of nine colleges. They found that the academies were using the classroom to advance a political agenda. And only one side of the issues was being presented. The study revealed that literature that expressed conservative philosophies, the beliefs of the Founding Fathers and the history of Western thought was not discussed.
This is largely due to hiring practices. At the University of California-Berkeley, conservative professors are a rare commodity. It was found that there are 17 Democratic sociology professors and 0 Republicans, 28 Democratic political science professors and 2 Republicans, 29 Democratic English professors and 1 Republican, and 31 Democratic history professors and 1 Republican.
Welfare Is Easy, Work Is Exhausting
After this child who has been exposed to only one viewpoint starts trying to earn a serious living, he will discover that it is much easier to just sit back in the recliner and wait for his paycheck to come in the mail. Why work? His income will be taken away to support those frequenting food stamp Friday.
The people living off the government are the ones living the high life. Why work hard and drive a used car when you can ride in a limo to pick up food stamps? By allowing those using government assistance programs to live it up, the liberals have been encouraging young people to become totally dependent on the government for survival. An intentional ploy? I think so.
From Welfare To Wheelchair
The bib-wearing/campaigning/welfare-living individual will eventually grow old. Obama has gone to great lengths to make sure we all know that life is scary in old age — especially if you support conservatives. Last year, when talks of the debt ceiling swirled, Obama remarked in an interview with CBS News: “I cannot guarantee that those [Social Security] checks go out on August 3rd if we haven’t resolved this issue. Because there may simply not be the money in the coffers to do it.”
You can be confident of this: When it is about time for you to go to a coffin, Obama will talk about what’s lacking in the coffers. The elderly are society’s most vulnerable. Those who are scared can easily be persuaded.
The liberal regime has a great offense. We must defend our Constitutional rights. We can either be ignorant and indoctrinated or know the facts and fight for freedom.
“Mass incarceration on a scale almost unexampled in human history is a fundamental fact of our country today—perhaps the fundamental fact, as slavery was the fundamental fact of 1850. In truth, there are more black men in the grip of the criminal-justice system—in prison, on probation, or on parole—than were in slavery then. Over all, there are now more people under ‘correctional supervision’ in America—more than six million—than were in the Gulag Archipelago under Stalin at its height.”—Adam Gopnik, “The Caging of America”
In an age when freedom is fast becoming the exception rather than the rule, imprisoning Americans in private prisons run by mega-corporations has turned into a cash cow for big business. At one time, the American penal system operated under the idea that dangerous criminals needed to be put under lock and key in order to protect society. Today, as states attempt to save money by outsourcing prisons to private corporations, the flawed yet retributive American “system of justice” is being replaced by an even more flawed and insidious form of mass punishment based upon profit and expediency.
As author Adam Gopnik reports for the New Yorker:
[A] growing number of American prisons are now contracted out as for-profit businesses to for-profit companies. The companies are paid by the state, and their profit depends on spending as little as possible on the prisoners and the prisons. It’s hard to imagine any greater disconnect between public good and private profit: the interest of private prisons lies not in the obvious social good of having the minimum necessary number of inmates but in having as many as possible, housed as cheaply as possible.
Consider this: despite the fact that violent crime in America has been on the decline, the nation’s incarceration rate has tripled since 1980. Approximately 13 million people are introduced to American jails in any given year. Incredibly, more than six million people are under “correctional supervision” in America, meaning that one in fifty Americans are working their way through the prison system, either as inmates, or while on parole or probation. According to the Federal Bureau of Prisons, the majority of those being held in federal prisons are convicted of drug offenses—namely, marijuana. Presently, one out of every 100 Americans is serving time behind bars.
Little wonder, then, that public prisons are overcrowded. Yet while providing security, housing, food, medical care, etc., for six million Americans is a hardship for cash-strapped states, to profit-hungry corporations such as Corrections Corp of America (CCA) and GEO Group, the leaders in the partnership corrections industry, it’s a $70 billion gold mine. Thus, with an eye toward increasing its bottom line, CCA has floated a proposal to prison officials in 48 states offering to buy and manage public prisons at a substantial cost savings to the states. In exchange, and here’s the kicker, the prisons would have to contain at least 1,000 beds and states would have agree to maintain a 90% occupancy rate in the privately run prisons for at least 20 years.
The problem with this scenario, as Roger Werholtz, former Kansas secretary of corrections, recognizes is that while states may be tempted by the quick infusion of cash, they “would be obligated to maintain these (occupancy) rates and subtle pressure would be applied to make sentencing laws more severe with a clear intent to drive up the population.” Unfortunately, that’s exactly what has happened. Among the laws aimed at increasing the prison population and growing the profit margins of special interest corporations like CCA are three-strike laws (mandating sentences of 25 years to life for multiple felony convictions) and “truth-in-sentencing” legislation (mandating that those sentenced to prison serve most or all of their time).
And yes, in case you were wondering, part of the investment pitch for CCA and its cohort GEO Group include the profits to be made in building “kindler, gentler” minimum-security facilities designed for detaining illegal immigrants, especially low-risk detainees like women and children. With immigration a persistent problem in the southwestern states, especially, and more than 250 such detention centers going up across the country, there is indeed money to be made. For example, GEO’s new facility in Karnes County, Texas, boasts a “608-bed facility still smelling of fresh paint and new carpet stretch[ing] across a 29-acre swath of farmland in rural South Texas. Rather than prison cells, jumpsuits, and barbed wire fencing, detainees here will sleep in eight-bed dormitory-style quarters, wearing more cozy attire like jeans and T-shirts. The facility's high walls enclose lush green courtyards with volleyball courts, an AstroTurfed soccer field, and basketball hoops, where detainees are free to roam throughout the day.” All of this, of course, comes at taxpayer expense.
“And this is where it gets creepy,” observes reporter Joe Weisenthal for Business Insider, “because as an investor you’re pulling for scenarios where more people are put in jail.” In making its pitch to potential investors, CCA points out that private prisons comprise a unique, recession-resistant investment opportunity, with more than 90% of the market up for grabs, little competition, high recidivism among prisoners, and the potential for “accelerated growth in inmate populations following the recession.” In other words, caging humans for profit is a sure bet, because the U.S. population is growing dramatically and the prison population will grow proportionally as well, and more prisoners equal more profits.
In this way, under the pretext of being tough on crime, state governments can fatten their coffers and fill the jail cells of their corporate benefactors. However, while a flourishing privatized prison system is a financial windfall for corporate investors, it bodes ill for any measures aimed at reforming prisoners and reducing crime. CCA understands this. As it has warned investors, efforts to decriminalize certain activities, such as drug use (principally possession of marijuana), could cut into their profits. So too would measures aimed at reducing the prison system’s disproportionately racist impact on minorities, given that the incarceration rate for blacks is seven times that of whites. Immigrants are also heavily impacted, with roughly 2.5 million people having been through the immigration detention system since 2003. As private prisons begin to dominate, the many troubling characteristics of our so-called criminal justice system today—racism, economic inequality, inadequate access to legal representation, lack of due process, etc.—will only become more acute.
Doubtless, a system already riddled by corruption will inevitably become more corrupt, as well. For example, consider the “kids for cash” scandal which rocked Luzerne County, Penn., in 2009. For ten years, the Mid Atlantic Youth Service Corporation, which specializes in private prisons for juvenile offenders, paid two judges to jail youths and send them to private prison facilities. The judges, who made over $2.6 million in the scam, had more than 5,000 kids come through their courtrooms and sent many of them to prison for petty crimes such as stealing DVDs from Wal-Mart and trespassing in vacant buildings. When the scheme finally came to light, one judge was sentenced to 17.5 years in prison and the other received 28 years, but not before thousands of young lives had been ruined.
In this way, minor criminals, from drug users to petty thieves, are being handed over to corporations for lengthy prison sentences which do nothing to protect society or prevent recidivism. This is the culmination of an inverted justice system which has come to characterize the United States, a justice system based upon increasing the power and wealth of the corporate-state.
No matter what the politicians or corporate heads might say, prison privatization is neither fiscally responsible nor in keeping with principles of justice. It simply encourages incarceration for the sake of profits, while causing millions of Americans, most of them minor, nonviolent criminals, to be handed over to corporations for lengthy prison sentences which do nothing to protect society or prevent recidivism. This perverse notion of how prisons should be run, that they should be full at all times, and full of minor criminals, is evil.
It isn't often that an endorsement is this easy for me.
The candidate I am writing to tell you about deserves your support right now. He is in a Republican primary to be the next Congressman from the 4th district of Kentucky. And he can win.
He has the right message, the right principles, and is running in a district that my son Rand carried in both his primary and his general election by wide margins.
His name is Thomas Massie, and I am proud to endorse him today and to tell you more about him in the hope that you will join me in supporting his candidacy.
Thomas Massie has been a part of our Revolution for years. His political beliefs and personal principles led him to a strong adherence to liberty, and he has worked to show his family, neighbors, and friends the path to freedom.
Thomas grew up in Kentucky, in the area where he now resides with his wife and four children. He left briefly to attend MIT and to start a career as an inventor and entrepreneur. Thomas knows what it is like to try to get an idea through the business and governmental mazes set up for job creators. He has been successful for himself, his family, his investors, and his workers.
Thomas eventually decided to move back to Lewis County, Kentucky, where he grew up - wanting his kids to grow up there, too.
It was from there that he was such a strong supporter of my 2008 campaign, as well as the beginning of Campaign for Liberty.
And he was invaluable to my son Rand when he ran for office, taking an early interest in Rand's race, helping him meet folks in his area, raising money, campaigning - you name it, Thomas did it for Rand's race in 2010.
Thomas also saw that there was a problem in his local government. Spending and regulations continued to grow, teaming up to put a stranglehold on his local economy. So Thomas decided to do something about it.
He ran against an incumbent Republican in a primary for Judge Executive of his county (the head of the county government in Kentucky) and surprised everyone by beating him 2-1. He ended up winning the general election and marched into office determined to save his county's finances. In just a few short months, Thomas had found enough in savings in his small county to pay his own county salary for three years!
Principles put into quick action!
Thomas has also made all the right kind of enemies, both as an activist and a county executive. The establishment can't stand him. The tax-and-spenders fear him. The people Rand refers to as "the beseechers" don't even bother with him.
Sometimes your enemies tell you just as much about you as your friends.
Thomas is the real deal. He will only vote for constitutional laws, and he will fight to restore our lost rights if he is elected to Congress. I've seen his agenda, and it is one every single one of us can get behind!
** Supporting a Balanced Budget Amendment and only voting for budgets that are in balance. House Republicans this past year did not produce a balanced budget. Republicans should always fight for this goal. Thomas will join Rand in both voting against unbalanced budget plans and in supporting Rand's 5-year balanced budget plan.
** Fighting the out-of-control EPA. The Obama EPA has declared war on Kentucky coal. Thomas will join Rand as a strong advocate for repealing Obama's rules and stripping bureaucratic power by passing legislation like the REINS Act, which was sponsored by Rand and the retiring Congressman Davis.
** Protecting our rights by standing up for gun owners and the 4th amendment. Our government's war on our privacy must stop.
** Fighting for a fairer, flatter tax that lowers tax rates and eliminates tax loopholes for special interests.
** Fighting the special interests in Washington by standing up against wasteful spending.
Thomas has already stood up publicly for these things. He has simultaneously cut taxes, spending, AND debt in his county!
Believe me, that is a record that is sorely needed in Congress.
Some might still try to tell you that Thomas doesn't have the political experience necessary. His main opponents are multi-term state legislators and county executives.
Well, having spent a good bit of time in Washington myself, I can tell you firsthand - the LAST thing it needs is more professional politicians.
It needs more people with real principles, who will stand up and fight.
Thomas is absolutely one of those people. I am sure of it.
There has been some talk about who could take my place in Congress now that I'm retiring. I often dismiss talk like that, but I want to tell you, my strongest supporters, that Thomas Massie has the principles and guts to stand up to Big Government as I have.
He has the principles of Liberty to fight for ALL of our Bill of Rights, and he believes in smaller government both here and overseas.
There aren't many candidates out there of the caliber of Thomas Massie, so I hope you'll take the time today to get involved with his campaign.
Thomas has TWO establishment opponents who are raking in special interest money. One of them just had a fundraiser in which he raised over $100,000 in one night for the primary!
Thomas must raise $250,000 in the next 2 weeks in order to have the funds he needs to get his message out.
As I've said, Thomas has the right principles. There is no question in my mind about that. He will stand up for Liberty in Congress.
And he has the right team. His campaign manager, consultant, and media team were all key parts of Rand's victory in 2010. They have the tv ads, direct mail, and GOTV plans ready to go.
P.S. Thomas Massie is running in the Republican primary for Congress in the 4th district of Kentucky. He has the right principles, message, and team to win this race - but he needs you to join me in supporting him.

On April 15th, 2012, tens of thousands of Americans will stand together to send a very clear message. We the people proclaim that we are 'In It To Win It'. We stand as one, behind Ron Paul and his message of peace, prosperity and liberty.
In the wake of Senator Rick Santorum’s departure from the presidential race there are signs that some evangelical leaders are refusing to jump on board the Mitt Romney bandwagon and are turning to Congressman Ron Paul instead. The Texas congressman spoke to several thousand people last night at the Will Rogers Auditorium in downtown Fort Worth but met quietly afterward with evangelical leaders.
Why Ron Paul? And why now, when the race is being declared “done” by the main stream media?
“Because you don’t give away your support without getting something in return,” says a former congressman who has been at the heart of the Christian right movement since its beginning. The longer that Ron Paul and Newt Gingrich stay in the race, the more likely that Romney will be forced to take a evangelical conservative as his vice presidential nominee.
Why not turn to Speaker Newt Gingrich, a Catholic who is a former Southern Baptist, with views that resonate with evangelicals?
“If we had to do it over again, we should have gone with Gingrich,” one of Santorum’s supporters told me today. But if we switch to Gingrich now we risk another drop out.” The former Speaker reportedly has debts of $ 4.2 million and has asked the Romney campaign for help in retiring them. Romney reportedly declined.
Meanwhile, the Ron Paul campaign, with cash on hand, has begun airing television ads in Texas and launches another moneybomb this weekend.
“I have one question for you,” one of the ministers reportedly said in the private meeting last night with Dr. Ron Paul, “Are you going to drop out? Or will you stay in all the way to Tampa?”
“I’m in,” the Texan replied.
“That’s all I need to know,” the minister said.
The evangelical community began reaching out to Dr. Paul almost immediately after Senator Rick Santorum dropped out of the presidential race. Yesterday, Pastor Steven Andrew of USA Christian Ministries announced his support of the congressman, calling for a day of prayer and fasting. Andrew released a statement saying that, “After Santorum, Ron Paul is the most God-fearing Presidential candidate [and] the Republican party should endorse him.” Andrew said that “If Republicans don’t give a Christian candidate, Christians should look elsewhere – even to a third party.”
The Christian Wire service ran an article yesterday saying that Christians like the fact that Ron Paul “opposes tyranny, would cut the deficit and is prolife.”
A prominent television evangelist , speaking on the promise of anonymity, says that there was great disappointment in Rick Santorum’s withdrawal from the race. “No one faults a man for being a good father, and dropping out to take care of a child, but it hurts many of us very deeply. We were counting on him to lead our cause.”
Foster Freiss, the Wyoming billionaire who financed the Santorum Super Pac, has publicly said he will now help Mitt Romney.
Meanwhile, evangelical leaders are skeptical of any of their brethren who are now pledging to Romney. “They are trotting out the same old bought and paid for names, Richard Land and Jay Sekulow, and acting like they are new.” A Gingrich supporter who is quite vocal about his disappointment with the Santorum campaign suspects that evangelical leaders who supported Santorum, did so in return for donations to their nonprofit organizations. “They will now try to repeat the same thing with Romney and are already in the news laying the foundation for their appeal. It is appalling.”
But the rank and file evangelicals are not for sale and many seeking an end to the corruption in Washington see Ron Paul, a born again Christian, as their best voice of protest and the best way to force
Romney to deal with them.
Steve Scheffler, president of the Iowa Faith and Freedom Coalition and a GOP national committeeman, is dumbfounded that the Romney’s campaign had so far made no effort to reach out to evangelicals.
“The presidential race is likely to be truly competitive,” Mr. Scheffler said, “in about a dozen states, including Iowa, and the Republicans will need to motivate people to volunteer at calling centers and put up signs. I don’t think there’s much room for error.”
Meanwhile, the Ron Paul people continue to fill the vacuum. In Iowa they are helping Scheffler and other Santorum people get re-elected to their positions. They can afford to be generous, they have everything else.
Says Brian Jacobs, a former consultant to Billy Graham and to evangelical leaders such as Kenneth Copeland, “Ron Paul is a born again Christian who is untainted by this corruption that has engulfed Washington. It should be no big surprise that evangelicals are discovering him.”
Ron Paul speaks to 3,000 at Will Rogers Auditorium, Ft. Worth, Texas, 4/11/12.
Tennessee’s Classroom Protection Act (SB 49/H.R. 229) has not come up for a vote yet in the Education Committee -- but it's still on the schedule.
My liaison to the House of Representatives thinks the vote will happen on Tuesday.
Which means we only have five days to make sure that the Committee votes the right way.
I have been in constant contact with our allies in Nashville and they are telling me that the phone calls and emails are helping -- but they need more of them.
If this bill fails to pass the Tennessee House it will open the door for Mandatory Homosexual Education.
We have to see this bill through the legislative weeds.
That’s why I need your help right now with two things:
1) Please contact Representative Richard Montgomery, Chairman of the Education Committee. He has worked against the bill so far and I need as many supporters as possible to let him know that mainstream America opposes the Homosexual Agenda and supports this Bill.
2) I also need you to email Representative John Ragan. He is a staunch defender of the Family and he needs to know that Public Advocate and the pro-Family Movement are supporting SB49/H.R.229 -- the Classroom Protection Act.
I have promised our allies in Nashville that Public Advocate and its members will not leave them to this fight alone -- that we will come to their aid.
So please, call and email right now.
For the Family,
Eugene Delgaudio
President, Public Advocate of the United States
The April 24 Pennsylvania and Delaware Republican Primaries are fast approaching.
That’s why I’m writing to ask you to save the date for a rally I’m hosting in Philadelphia on Sunday, April 22.
Since the Pennsylvania and Delaware Primaries take place just two days after the rally, I’m counting on you to bring as many friends, family members, and neighbors with you as possible.
And even though New Jersey’s primary isn’t until June 5, I believe this is still a perfect chance for those in the Garden State to bring people along to find out about my campaign.
Over the past several weeks, all across the country, supporters of mine have been turning out by the thousands to hear my message of individual liberty, free markets, sound money, and constitutional government.
In fact, I had over 8,500 supporters show up at a town hall I recently held at UC-Berkeley in California.
I believe that’s because more and more Americans understand the consequences of the massive debt and out-of-control spending coming out of Washington, D.C.
As someone who has spent years fighting against the Big Government, big spending status quo, I can’t tell you how excited it makes me to see so many folks getting involved and joining our fight to Restore America NOW!
So please, join me in Philadelphia on Sunday, April 22, for a rally you won’t forget.
The rally will take place on the South side of Independence Mall.
At 1:00 p.m., Jordan Page will open up, along with a few other musicians who support my campaign.
After the music, Michael Scheuer – former head of the CIA’s Bin Laden unit – will speak.
Scheuer is considered the world’s leading expert on Osama bin Laden – and he has enthusiastically endorsed my campaign for President.
And then I’ll speak to wrap up the event.
So please, make sure to save the date for 1:00 p.m. on Sunday, April 22.
I’ll send you more details as we get closer to the event, and I hope to see you in Philly!
Just remember - please bring as many folks with you as possible to hear about my plan to Restore America NOW!
For Liberty,
Ron Paul
P.S. I’m holding a massive rally on the South side of Independence Mall in Philadelphia on Sunday, April 22 – so please be sure to save the date.
At the rally, I’ll be joined by musician Jordan Page, former head of the CIA’s Bin Laden Unit, Michael Scheuer, and many other freedom-loving Americans.
With the Pennsylvania and Delaware Primaries fast approaching, please bring as many folks with you as possible so they can hear about my plan to restore freedom and prosperity in America.
Paid for by Ron Paul 2012 Presidential Campaign Committee
SAN JOSE, CA -- "Many Christians are disappointed that Rick Santorum suspended his campaign, but God still has plans for the USA. By seeking Him we can find His plans," says Pastor Steven Andrew, President of USA Christian Ministries. The pastor calls churches and individual Christians to join him and fast and pray every Wednesday for God's intervention to help the USA. View release and video message from Pastor Steven Andrew here.
He believes God wants a government and nation after God's own heart.
"After Santorum, then Ron Paul is the most God-fearing Presidential candidate that the Republican party should endorse (Exodus 18:21)," he says. "If Republicans don't give a Christian candidate, Christians should look elsewhere - even to a third party."
"Obama and Romney are the wrong direction for the USA. They serve another Jesus. Romney and Obama aren't Christians even though they want us to believe they are," he explains.
He hopes people understand Romney's heresies. Romney thinks Jesus is a created being, the spirit brother of Lucifer. Christians believe that Jesus is the Second Person of the Godhead, God eternal. Romney also thinks that he will become a God. This is considered evil by Christians. He wants pastors to stand up for God and His Word.
"Obama covered the name and cross of Jesus at Georgetown. Obama believes in leaving living babies to die who survive botched abortions. Obama wants to change George Washington's Christian laws prohibiting homosexual sin. Obama opposes religious liberty. God says turn away from Obama," he explains.
"The USA is heading the wrong direction by voting for non-Christians. Scripture teaches this causes economic decline and threatens religious liberty," he says.
The First Commandment says to love God and in the Ten Commandments it says to have no other God before the LORD. Therefore, he says God calls Christians to vote for Christians.
"If a Christian leader says to support Romney or Obama, don't listen to them. They are going against Scripture," he continues.
"God says Romney and Obama are 'accursed.' Those who vote for them would also be accursed (2Chronicles 19:2)," he adds. Galatians 1:9 says, "if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed."
Christians like that Ron Paul opposes tyranny, would cut the deficit and is prolife.
Ron Paul is a more attractive candidate to independents and moderates than Mitt Romney.
With Rick Santorum (faux conservative-Pa.) officially “suspending” his campaign and Newt Gingrich (corporatist adulterer-Ga.) fading to inconsequentialness, now is the time for all those “anybody-but-Mitt Romney” Republicans to get behind the only true conservative in the race: Congressman Ron Paul.
Unlike Mitt the Flip, who never held a position he couldn’t change in an instant, Paul has been a consistent and rock-solid conservative his whole career.
He has run his campaign the same way. While other candidates have soared to the top of the polls only to flame out like a New Year’s sparkler, Paul’s campaign has plodded along, amassing delegates along the way. (Don’t believe the media’s delegate count. Paul’s people are working behind the scenes to capture uncommitted delegates and take over local Republican Party offices, much to the dismay of the Republican establishment.)
Unlike Romney, Paul holds truly conservative ideals. He has pledged to balance the budget in three years. He will cut $1 trillion from the budget in the first year and eliminate five cabinet departments (Energy, Housing and Urban Development, Commerce, Interior and Education). He will abolish the Transportation Security Administration, end corporate subsidies (corporate welfare), stop foreign aid and return most spending to 2006 levels.
According to a recent New York Times/CBS News Poll, 69 percent of Americans believe the United States should end its involvement in the Afghanistan war. Paul has said he’ll bring the troops home immediately.
Paul is more pro-gun, pro-Constitution and pro-liberty than Romney. Most importantly, while Romney wears Massachusetts’ Romneycare around his neck like a millstone, Paul has none of that baggage. And Paul is a more attractive candidate to independents and moderates than Romney.
There are still 19 States that have not held their primaries: Connecticut, Delaware, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Indiana, North Carolina, West Virginia, Nebraska, Oregon, Arkansas, Kentucky, Texas, California, Montana, New Jersey, New Mexico, South Dakota and Utah. There are still 1,152 delegates left to be awarded in those States. And while Paul will not win enough delegates before the convention to lock up the nomination, it’s important that Romney doesn’t either.
Then real conservatives can nominate a real conservative candidate that can beat Barack Obama in November.
If the establishment had its way, there would only be one Republican left in this race – and the National Convention would just be a massive rally for Mitt Romney.
There would be no talk about individual liberty. No mention of trillion-dollar deficits, real spending cuts, and the out-of-control Federal Reserve.
And there would be no questioning the cost of utopian nation-building schemes or policing the world.
But thanks to your hard work and dedication to the cause of liberty, the establishment isn’t getting its way.
Not this time.
I’m planning to take my campaign to Restore America NOW all the way to Tampa, Florida, for the Republican National Convention.
But to do so, my campaign must have the funds to continue picking up delegates all across the country.
So far, my campaign’s delegate strategy has paid off.
Dedicated supporters of mine have been turning out at their local caucuses and conventions to run as delegates to their Congressional District or State Conventions – where National Delegates will be elected.
It’s these delegates who will choose the Republican nominee at the National Convention in August.
That’s why it’s absolutely crucial my campaign has the funds to continue organizing and winning delegates in many states around the country.
And there are also important primaries in Texas and California coming up where hundreds of delegates will be up for grabs.
P.S. My campaign is holding a Money Bomb on April 15.
With the Republican National Convention fast approaching, my campaign must have the funds to continue winning delegates in many states all over the country.
The Deparmtent of Justice on Monday attempted to play down video proof of how easy it is to vote fraudulently when a man working for James O’Keefe’s Project Veritas obtained Attorney General Eric Holder’s vote.
“About the only time we get concrete evidence of voter fraud is when someone pulls a stunt like this,” a DoJ spokesman told NBC’s First Read blog.
Holder and the department have consistently said there is no proof of widespread voter fraud, but the video, posted online by Breitbart is further embarrassment after Project Veritas successfully got dead people’s votes in New Hampshire and Minnesota.
The scruffily dressed young man, who is white, went to Holder’s polling station on Nebraska Avenue in Washington, D.C., for last week’s primaries and asked if they had Holder registered there. Holder is 61 and black.
He was careful not to claim he was Holder but the poll worker still tried to hand the assistant his ballot once he had confirmed the A.G.’s name was on the roll.
When the young man said he had left his ID in the car, the poll worker told him it wasn’t needed, but O’Keefe’s assistant, who was fitted with a hidden camera, said he would feel more comfortable showing it.
As he left, the man said, “I’ll be back faster than you can say ‘furious,’” a reference to the Fast and Furious gunrunning scandal that has ensnared Holder.
“We’re not going anywhere,” the poll worker replied.
Holder’s Justice Department has battled hard against states that have tried to introduce voter ID laws, saying they unfairly disenfranchise immigrants and the poor who may not have driver’s licenses. The attorney general insists there is no widespread problem with voter fraud.
Project Veritas has had success with undercover video stings against the liberal advocacy organization ACORN, Planned Parenthood and National Public Radio. However he has been accused in the past of editing out parts that did not fit his side of the story.
His efforts in New Hampshire and Minnesota have prompted politicians in both states to propose stricter identification legislation.
Who would believe that in the year 2012 one would have to ask if the U.S. Military would fire on American Citizen’s?
The question of troop involvement in a possible upcoming Martial Law scenario that is being predicted is no imaginary possibility – nor is it a ‘conspiracy theory’.
Other tough questions are being discussed such as, “Will the U.S. government confiscate Gold and Silver in an economic collapse?” and “Will there be a round-up of American Citizens to be put into FEMA Camps?”
Many believe that the United Nations will be given authority to step in to keep the peace in any civil unrest or economic collapse. This is a strong possibility. Silver: The Achilles Heal – Physical Silver is a Stake in the Heart of the Financial Vampires (Ad)
Readers should be familiar with the term ‘Hidden In Plain Sight’. How this applies to the United Nations is simple.
The United Nations main purpose is to be the centerpiece of the coming World Government that will control nearly of aspect of the global population.
For years their military strength has grow as they are now increasingly tasked with upholding law and order in conflicts around the world.
Research into the U.N and prove to yourself that this is or isn’t the case. The U.N. is the governing body of The New World Order – Hidden In Plain Sight.
Investigate their corporate operation as well as the growing number of sites they control and you will discover they now even own the World Weather Service.
An update to this article will list the number of organizations that the United Nations has established, you will be amazed.
A recent Senate Armed Services Committee conference with Sen. Sessions and the Pentagon’s Leon Panetta clearly shows that the United Nations would be involved in authorizing Military Action in Iran, similar to the Libya and Iraq invasions.
Two of the most widely known United Nations programs are Agenda 21 and Codex Alimentarius.
These are beyond the scope of this article but one other program is of significance which is the U.N. Rapid Deployment Police.
The United Nations Rapid Deployment Police and Security Force Act of 2001(House Resolution 938) Status of H.R. 938 CosponsorsThe United Nations Rapid Deployment Police and Security Force (H.R. 938) was introduced on March 8, 2001 by Representatives James McGovern (D-MA) and Amo Houghton (R-NY) in the House of Representatives. The legislation calls upon the President to use the United States’ “voice, vote, and influence” to urge the UN:
to establish a United Nations Rapid Deployment Police and Security Force (Police and Security Force) that can be quickly dispatched under the authority of the UN Security Council; to recruit volunteer personnel for the force; and to provide equitable and reliable funding for the Police and Security Force.
Additionally, the legislation calls upon the President to:
urge UN member nations to enter into regional partnerships for the purpose of forming Rapid Deployment Brigades, made up of on-call units of national forces, capable of deploying within 30 days of a Security Council resolution;
and direct the Secretary of Defense to undertake a study to determine the availability of and feasibility of using U.S. forces as part of the rapid deployment brigades.
What would the Police and Security Force do? It would:
be able to deploy within 15 days of a Security Council resolution to establish international peace operations, with a limited deployment of no more than six months for any given mission;
only be deployed when the Security Council determines that violations of human rights and/or breaches of the peace require a rapid response to ensure adherence to negotiated agreements to prevent or end hostilities;
consist of at least 6,000 volunteers employed directly by the UN, who train together and are appropriately equipped expressly for international peace operations, including civilian policing; and
be given the authority to protect itself, execute negotiated peace accords, disarm combatants, protect civilians, detain war criminals, restore the rule of law, and to carry out other purposes as detailed in Security Council resolutions.
Many readers will recall the survey given to U.S. Marines at the 29 Palms Marine Corps base in California. The survey asked the respondents to consider the following statement: “I would fire upon U.S. citizens who refuse or resist confiscation of firearms banned by the United States government.”
The current situation is even more alarming, for example:
The passing of the NDAA, the National Defense Authorization Act of 2012, which THEBLAZE covers in an article titled, “Can the ‘Indefinite Detention’ Bill Send Americans to Military Prison Without Trial?” (12-08-11) has caused even the most skeptic to be concerned for their personal safety – especially those fighting for liberty.
The National Defense Resources Preparedness: Comparing Previous Executive Orders article that theintelhub.com posted online is another example of the emergence of a Fascist Police State taking complete control.
Lastly, the purchase by the Department of Homeland Security of 450,000,000 rounds of ammunition over a five year period should be warning enough that something is definitely wrong.
Who are these rounds to be used on? Even at 80,000,000 rounds per year, that’s one bullet for every dissenter at a minimum.
The fact that the United Nations is the unelected yet-to-be Global Government should be warning enough that the United States of America is in great peril. The only intelligent thing to do is… PREPARE.
There is also the chance that the powers that be will play out a pandemic type scenario in which the military will receive orders from the top brass to quarantine US citizens.
This scenario may be the most probable – let’s entertain it.
It would likely go something like this:
A loudspeaker (megaphone) attached to a UN (United Nations) van passing through a middle-class neighborhood resinates a pre-recorded message,
“This neighborhood has been declared a pandemic zone… Pandemic level 6 martial law is now in place… Please stay in your homes as a quarantine has been imposed… If you are found in violation of this order you can be fined, imprisoned, or even shot… Food will eventually be dropped at your doorstep” (message repeating)
Essentially at one point people will get hungry and from there chaos will ensue.
Shepard Ambellas host of The Intel Hub Radio Show once asked a military caller on air what they would do in a pandemic situation (like the one laid out above).
The caller replied;
“That would be a tough one.”

Obama Admin Cites ‘Int’l Permission,’ Not Congress, As ‘Legal Basis’ For Action In Syria http://youtu.be/5zNwOeyuG84

WASHINGTON, March 7—Under question from Sen. Sessions at a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing today, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey indicated that “international permission,” rather than Congressional approval, provided a ‘legal basis’ for military action by the United States. Selected Executive Orders on National Security Is the Soros-Sponsored ‘Agenda 21’ a Hidden Plan for World Government? (Yes, Only it Is Not Hidden) What is Agenda 21? If you do not know about it, you should. Agenda 21 is a two-decade old, grand plan for global ’Sustainable Development,’ brought to you from the United Nations. George H.W. Bush (and 177 other world leaders) agreed to it back in 1992, and in 1995, Bill Clinton signed Executive Order #12858, creating a Presidential Council on ‘Sustainable Development.’ This effectively pushed the UN plan into America’s large, churning government machine without the need for any review or discussion by Congress or the American people. ‘Sustainable Development’ sounds like a nice idea, right? It sounds nice, until you scratch the surface and find that Agenda 21 and Sustainable Development are really cloaked plans to impose the tenets of Social Justice/Socialism on the world.
At risk from Agenda 21;
Private Property ownership
Single-Family homes
Private car ownership and individual travel choices
Privately owned farms
The Agenda 21 plan openly targets private property. For over thirty-five years the UN has made their stance very clear on the issue of individuals owning land; Land… cannot be treated as an ordinary asset, controlled by individuals and subject to the pressures and inefficiencies of the market. Private land ownership is also a principal instrument of accumulation and concentration of wealth and therefore contributes to social injustice; if unchecked, it may become a major obstacle in the planning and implementation of development schemes. The provision of decent dwellings and healthy conditions for the people can only be achieved if land is used in the interest of society as a whole. Source: United Nations Conference on Human Settlements (Habitat I),Vancouver, BC, May 31 – June 11, 1976. Preamble to Agenda Item 10 of the Conference Report. There are two more, very good reasons to be wary of Agenda 21 and the International Council of Local Environmental Initiatives (ICLEI) that supports it: George Soros and the United Nations. Soros money has been tracked to funding parts of ICLEI ; In 1997, George Soros’s Open Society gave ICLEI a $2,147,415 grant to support its Local Agenda 21 Project Creating a Force for Peace Operations: Ensuring Stability with Justice
The Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC®) Creation of a US force for stability is consistent with statements by senior officials in the Bush Administration and expressions of congressional interest in creating effective US forces to handle peacekeeping missions. Even before taking office, National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice said the incoming Administration would “think hard” about developing forces to perform police functions and might replace soldiers with international police to perform peacekeeping missions. 7 Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld told European defense ministers in Brussels on 18 December 2001 that NATO forces in Bosnia should be replaced by an armed European constabulary unit that would deal with organized crime. 8 Such Administration thinking seems to parallel similar thoughts in Congress.
