An Open Letter to Dr. Ron Paul

Dear Dr. Paul,
I am just a mother and a grandmother who so loves this country and the concept of freedom that stands faithfully behind our lovely United States Constitution. While I respect your views, I also see that you have collected a vast and deep following of people over the course of your admirable career. But, I must ask you now to consider the path you have chosen and the priorities of it. I must ask that you define for those followers, what is the best path for the greater good of us, the American people. I have been involved in politics at a local level since the 1970’s. I have served on a public level, but rarely delved into the national level until 2008. Today with little experience, I run a PAC, a political action committee under the blanket of the independent grass roots movement of the Tea Party. I’ve been an independent voter for over 42 years over 10 election cycles voting for both Democrats and Republicans who hold a fiscal and Constitutional conservative ideology. Now I realize something critical to both the path and direction of this great country, I must chose a side that stands clearly against the progressive movement toward a foundation that squarely stands on the opposite side of Socialism, Marxism, Fascism and eventually Communism, and that stance falls on the Republican Party. While a presidency held by Governor Romney is not as conservative as I like, I recognize for the good of all of the US people; Mr. Romney is the only opportunity we have to continue to live under the Constitution I swore a pledge of allegiance to for the better part of my entire life. So I ask you, plain and simple, transparent, from the bottom of my heart to do the same. The people who follow you have clearly stood for the Constitution, but unfortunately they also blindly follow your direction and some are willing to follow that dedication to the end of the freedom. They as well as all Americans need your direction now. They need to be told you are no longer seeking the office of the President of the United States and they need to be given your choice of endorsement. Without this, all of what you have stood for will soon fall to the ashes of the end of this great nation, the end of a free people. Ronald Regan once said freedom was the last stand in the United States and here we are, at the end of the road. Those of us who never stood with either party now realize that another 4 years of a leftist, progressive presidency will end all that we have stood for, for the last 240 years. It’s time Dr. Paul, it’s time for you, like I, to make your choice.
You have no possible way to win your honorable fight. You have given your all and those on either side have lost, but we as Americans have lost the most. While I understand your attempts and respect your positions now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country; this includes you Dr. Paul. We need to be united so that we will live to vote another day. I urge you to come forward, admit your campaign is over and make an endorsement so that those people who blindly follow can make their choice. And if you have any bit of concern over the future of the US Constitution I ask that you give us a start to turn the paradigm back, to move the road toward a better, more conservative America and endorse Mitt Romney. While he is not the most conservative person to guide this nation through the extremely hard times, he is the most conservative candidate who can win and stop the liberal progressive regression of this country and move forward with the founding principles that we have always, and will hopefully always stand for.
Very best regards,

+30You know that not everybody here will agree with what you have written. But you say it well.
Obamunists fell in love with Obama because the media told them to, much like you Mittens followers... Which is truly funny because we all lambast the Left owned media for supporting Obama, but apparently your side thought it was ok to believe them hook, line and sinker on Romney.
What's up with that?
If Representatives do not write the Earmarks for their constituents then the money goes to the Executive branch and will be spent with no transparency anyways. Allocations made by Executive Agencies will be no better than allocations made by Congress.
So yes he can honestly claim that he does not vote for Pork spending.
Earmarks are provisions associated with legislation (appropriations or general legislation) that specify certain congressional spending priorities or in revenue bills that apply to a very limited number of individuals or entities.
Pork-barrel spending means unnecessary government expenditures that are allocated for political reasons.
Like it or not they are not the same. Eliminating Earmarks completely will not decrease the budget and the money spent therein.
Ron Paul feels an obligation to get back the Tax revenues the Government has taken from his district and spend it in his district. As I have said above, if he or some other didn't write them in, the money goes to the Executive Branch and gets spent regardless.
There is an argument that money spent should be completely allocated by Earmarks. Not so with Pork Barrel spending.
Either way if you have issue with this whole process you should have supported Ron Paul, the only candidate truly dedicated to reducing the size and scope of Government and thus cutting real spending and not this bs crap of reducing increased spending over decades...
Wish my Congress Reps felt the same as Ron Paul.
your problem is obvious
Good job.
I can post pics too.
He may lean to your less government views but libertarianism is pretty 'leftist' (as you put it) socially and foreign policy.
I've always supported Paul as an un-corrupted politician with very honest views, unlike alot of 'down with the communist' opposition voices in America he does suggest solutions and gives conviction to his beliefs.
I hope he does stick in with it to the convention if not to prove a point to the mass of 'independents' out in America looking for a cause, I have no doubts that his campaign for GOP nomination has pushed alot of people in America to look at Libertarianism.
He'll get to the convention, drop out with grace and help Gary Johnson try to get to 14% and try to push their cause further on a national debate stage.
Not sure it's fair on Ron Paul to compare his campaign with the Tea Partys, they go about their beliefs in completely opposite ways and their views are not exactly similar on a lot of things.
Thomas S. Monson, the current Prophet of the LDS Church (as of 2008). Islam believes Muhammad was the last prophet, while Mormonism believes in a line of prophets extending from Joseph Smith to the present day.
Basic similarities between the Islamic and Mormon faiths include, but are not limited to:
A founding prophet who received visits from an angel, leading to revelation of a book of scripture;
An emphasis upon family, and the family unit as the foundation for religious life and the transmission of values;
Insistence that their religion is a complete way of life, meant to directly influence every facet of existence;
A belief that theirs constitutes the one and only completely true religion on the earth today;
Belief that good deeds are required for salvation just as much as faith;
Assertions that modern Christianity does not conform to the original religion taught by Jesus Christ;
Belief that the text of the Bible, as presently constituted, has been adulterated from its original form;
Rejection of the Christian doctrines of Original Sin and the Trinity;
Strong emphasis upon education, both in the secular and religious arenas;
Belief in fasting during specified periods of time;
Incorporation of a sacred ...

Belief in fasting during specified periods of time;
Incorporation of a sacred ritual of ablution, though each religion's rite differs in form, frequency and purpose;
Belief that their faith represents the genuine, original religion of Adam, and of all true prophets thereafter;
Prohibition of alcoholic beverages, gambling, and homosexual and bisexual practices;
Belief that one's marriage can potentially continue into the next life, if one is faithful to the religion;
Belief in varying degrees of reward and punishment in the hereafter, depending upon one's performance in this life;
Special reverence for, though not worship of, their founding prophet;
Emphasis upon charitable giving, and helping the downtrodden;
An active interest in proselytizing nonbelievers;
Strong emphasis upon chastity, including modesty in dress; and
A clergy drawn from the laity, without necessarily requiring collegiate or seminary training.
A division of the religion into a minimum of two parties after the death of the founding prophet, with one party claiming that leadership should continue through the prophet's descendents, and the other party rejecting this idea.[14]
The change that America requires is cultural, not political, and Ron Paul represents that cultural change. Voting for Romney sacrifices our chances for that.
Don't talk to me about ":down the road"...The road "dead ends" if Ovomit wins a second term!
Couldn't have said it better myself.
