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.
I just don't get the Paulbots.
But Obama will win again by only a tiny plurality of voters because most Americans are too fed up with the constant dichotomy of monopolism vs socialism to even bother to vote. Not to mention elections fraud and cronyism in the electoral college.
This movement spearheaded by Paul is not about one man or getting one man in office. Its about an idea we call liberty represented by the constitution. Both Obama and Willard and their puppet masters are a detriment to that cause, and will be opposed till the end.
Yes I hope you will for the best of the Country and the continuation of the US Constitution you claim to love.
If you love the constitution, then stop supporting anti-constitutionalist candidates.
I've already showed you videos, but here is another one.
He wants to protect the fed.
Mitt Romney is far from the person to lead this country. He is just more of the same Bush style conservative whoose inept economic policies got us into this mess. Why in hell would anyone want more of that?
If the TP had its way, just who would benefit? It wouldn't be the wage earners or the small business man. It would be big business. FOLLOW THE MONEY.
My Heroes
Sarah Palin
Rush Limbaugh
Glenn Beck
Sean Hannity
Ronald Reagan
I quit listening to Rush Limbaugh years ago when I realized he did not give opposite views fair time to give their points. He is an original RINO neo-con.
While very pretty, Sarah Palin is not suited for a local office much less VP.
Glenn Beck-Cry me a river!
Sean Hannity-Fox! And that is enough about him.
Ronald Reagan-The only plausible hero listed and he did some shady things he wasn't proud of.
So your son was in the armed forces. So what? Did he serve in combat on the ground with bullets flying and booby traps and roadside bombs all around? If he did that was his choice as there is no conscription at this time. Whether you would admit it or not more armed forces personnel have given to the Ron Paul candidacy than all the others combined. There has to be a reason for that. Maybe it's because they recognize the futility and the waste of taxpayer money in the desert.
There is no need in my wasting time here as you are blinded to reality and at present there is no two party system. Not until the Republican Party returns to its roots will we have someone to vote into the White House. As things stand now the neo-cons have a choke hold on the party but The Campaign for Liberty is on the move and things are starting to change. Millions have now seen the light and know the MSM has conspired with the corporate and banking industries to keep things as they are. I just hope it isn't too late for my Grand-Children to grow up in an America with the freedoms that I had.
Palin, while formerly an independent woman sold out for a few pretty dresses.
Beck is well known for stealing other people's info and twisting it. As Brietbart said, he's a liar, thief and a coward (I dont always agree with him, but Brietbart seemed like a much more honest man than most - and that's why he had to die.)
Hannity and Limbaugh - Anyone that can defend Abu Garaib and not want to kill themselves is scum.
My only contention with the "endorse someone Ron Paul" thing is this...
a candidate can continue to run, or if they suspend their campaign wrangle for their positions in the party's platform. Ron Paul is no different, and being that he is to libertarian positions in a way Goldwater was to conservative positions, I see it as fair and honest for him to go to the convention, and stand up for his positions. At the convention, since he is one of the candidates in the primary elections, I would expect him to throw his support behind the nominee. He does not have to of course, but typically that is what the other candidates do do. So anyhow, my point is, there is time, and there is not need to rush the matter.
Having read a few of Ron Paul's books, an having watched and listened to interviews with him, I respect him a great deal, and believe he is a patriot. I am a conservative, and not a libertarian, in fact I think I am a paleoconservative, so I do have disagreements with the Doctor on several issues. Regardless, I welcome a wide variety of thought under the GOP tent, as the debate on the right, by the right, I find stimulating, and healthy. As one could imagine, I do not have much time for chicken hawks, and bonafide RINOs, both of ...

As one could imagine, I do not have much time for chicken hawks, and bonafide RINOs, both of which Dr. Paul is no fan of, but from a more libertarian point of view.
I believe Dr. Paul's unwavering support for the Constitution, and his strict constructionist interpretations of that document, in the face of a possible second term for an Obama Administration leaves very few choices for him as to who to endorse. Sure, he could endorse a third party candidate like the Libertarian Party's ticket, but he ran as a GOP candidate this time to get his libertarian ideas into the GOP, and to become part of the mainstream conversation of the party. Certainly the Tea Party subscribes to many of the ideas Dr. Paul has championed over the years, and some of those people are registered to vote as Republicans. I do believe Dr. Paul will endorse the candidate who has the best chance of defeating Obama in November.
A second term for an Obama Administration is just about a guaranteed end for conservative, libertarian, or even blue dog Democrat participation in our federal government probably forever, or at least for our lifetimes. That is a pretty fine point to put on the situation, but if you analyze it, it is absolutely true. Dr. Paul is well aware of that, and is well aware that the Supreme Court can have up to three justices appointed by the next president, and is well aware that the Second Amendment (the first domino that must fall in a reconstruction of the Constitution) is in peril under a second Obama Administration. He will make his endorsement in his own time, and it will happen at the convention.
Your patronizing remarks may sound nice but they are hollow when said in the same breathe with, "vote for Romney or else". If Obamney is elected you can stick a fork in the US cause we are done.
