    Gingrich, Paul, and Romney are for, Perry is against.  The others
    state that their campaigns have been contacted, but no answer has

              Subject: Re: [Vision2020] Fw: Mr. Paul’s Discredited
              Campaign<br>
              <br>
              <br>
              I'm beginning to believe that Ron Paul is our only hope to
              stop the downslope this country is on.  For example, the
              Transportation Security Administration just got an extra
              $7.85 billion in funding for 2012, including several
              hundred million dollars of funding for whole body
              imagers.  This passed both the House and the Senate.  Does
              anyone here actually believe that terrorism is a
              personally actionable danger?  Do you change your behavior
              at all due to the threat?  Do you think all the security
              theater is worth the money?<br>
              <br>
              Ron Paul is about the only guy out there that votes
              against this kind of crap.  Pretty much everybody else,
              (R) or (D), votes it in.  All they seem to argue about is
              who is getting the pork.<br>
              <br>
              As I see it, your choices are 1) the same old shit, but
              next year having slipped even farther away from
              rationality or 2) this one bat-shit crazy dude that might
              actually try to do something about it.<br>
              <br>
              One thing I've noticed this year is that Ron Paul is
              actually getting press.  There was a massive grassroots
              campaign for him the last couple of elections, but nobody
              in the media would take him seriously as an actual
              candidate.<br>
              <br>
              The fact that they have started the smear campaign means
              that there is actually a chance of getting him in office.<br>
              <br>
              My advice?  Don't vote for the person that looks like the
              most responsible Dad, or the guy that looks like he's
              someone you could have a beer with, or the one that looks
              like a he's a successful lawyer.  All of those guys are
              going to perpetuate the power grab that has been going on
              for the last few decades.<br>
              <br>
              Vote for the dude that puts the fear of God into the
              others.  Vote for the one that will work to decrease their
              power, not the others that only want to increase it for
              personal gain.<br>
