Has anyone explained what reaction the "LOVE" portion of this logo is supposed to elicit from me? It's a shallow approach to cleverness. What is it that we're supposed to LOVE? The reaction of most, myself included, is that it's some sort of hippie trip.. or maybe it was the most clever thing anyone on the design team came up with so they just stuck to it.
Dear Liberty Activist,
A great man was born 279 years ago.
George Washington was a freedom fighter, a leader, and one of our greatest Presidents. But, much of General Washington's greatness was marked not by what he did, but by what he chose not to do.
The world has changed quite a bit since those days. I'm not entirely supportive of the idea that a President is essential to my well being.
He could have been a King.
Instead, he stood for Liberty and stepped aside after eight years, allowing our young Republic to grow into the greatest nation in Human history.
I want irrefutable proof that the US is the "greatest nation in Human history". Otherwise this is an idle claim coming from an establishment with claims to be anti-establishment.
2012 offers our movement a tremendous opportunity. Our nation is beset with crippling debt, an out of control federal government, and a foreign policy that weakens our national defense and isolates us from the world.
But with hard work and determination, we can change course and turn our country back toward Liberty and all of its rewards.
Quite frankly, we need to elect a President in 2012 who will do a lot less: less meddling in the economy, less spending, less warrantless ransacking, less bailing out of Wall Street, less inflating, and less foreign aid and overseas intervention.
We need a President who will respect our Constitution, not someone who simply pays lip service to our traditions.
Been hearing these lines since the 80's.
Because I want a President who does so much less, a lot of people ask me if this means I want a weak President.
My answer is "No!" I want a strong President - a President like George Washington.
I want a President strong enough NOT to take power he should not have.
This isn't a tribal land with one Big Chief deciding who does what. The political systems are enormous and unlikely to be undone by one fellow.
It is no secret that I am weighing my personal political options for 2012, and that I am relying on Liberty PAC to fund my efforts while I make important decisions.
Monday, February 21st, is Presidents' Day, which celebrates George Washington's birthday, and we hope to make it one to remember.
On Monday, Liberty PAC will host its first-ever Money Bomb. Please mark it on your calendar and consider contributing. If we all come together and pitch in, we can take our country back from the statists that are stealing our Liberty and shredding our Constitution.
The next few months will be critical to ensuring a successful political operation for the 2012 cycle. I hope you will join me by making this Presidents' Day, February 21st, truly special.
For Liberty,
Ron Paul
This just seems like more political posturing aimed to groom people to become open to a "new" kind of leadership. Where did all of the money go that was donated last time?
A smart approach would be to use some funds to create a media presence designed to compete with mainstream media outlets, a full-time network dedicated to illustrating how these "new" political ideas would be implemented if given the opportunity. Paul will be slammed by the MSM again, results of his marginalization will be the same.
