Comments on: Ron Paul pledges to continue Internet-organized 'Revolution'

Texas congressman, no longer running for president, draws thousands to a pro-individual rights, pro-peace rally organized at same time as Republican National Convention.

Since 2006 I have awarded two free portraits yearly, each dedicated to the freedom philosophy or the American dream. I call it the, "Rebel with Just Cause Award." It is given to true American patriots; those who stand for freedom against tyranny and injustice. The real visionaries, who laid down America's laws, those who defined what an American patriot would be, were rebels with just cause. It's not just our right it's an American's patriotic duty to rebel against big government corruption

One of the 2008 Rebel with Just Cause Awards.goes to Dr.Ron Paul for the Love Revolution he helped generate that is sweeping America, returning us to our roots of self-government, free of tyranny and big government oppression. Our founders believed the best way to spread the freedom philosophy is by
being a shining example.

I love Ron Pauls some of Ron Pauls ideas but some I fear are too late or out of date. The idea on gettiing rid of federal tax completely is ot possible. Unfortunately we need the money to get the latest and greatest in weapons for defense. I know that we are usually the aggressors but some day the tables will turn and that is what will save us. I still think it is great what he is doing. Rattleing the cage is a good thing. Makes people think.

Do some homework - the revenue from the federal income tax is not needed to develop state of the art weapons. The private sector develops the weapons in hopes of winning contracts with DOD. NG/Boeing/etc all make the investment privately and then get paid by the govt if and when they deliver the goods. The money the feds pay to the Boeings of the world could easily come from the bailout programs and all the other overgrown federal programs and departments. All without ever dipping into money coming from fed tax revenue. Us voluntarily handing feds a piece of our paycheck (as if they have first dibs on it) is a farse. More money in the hands of policitians is the last thing we need.

You should investigate the Federal Reserve Bank a little more. The money from our federal income tax does not go to aquiring the latest and greatest weapons. It goes to the fed reserve bnk(which are nothing but private central bankers), to pay the interest on the money they print and loan to our government. Every dollar printed leaves the Fed with interest attatched. You should read Ron Pauls book The Revolution A Manifesto!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Getting rid of the Federa Tax is very real and I do believe if Ron Paul was elected then he would have stood a good chance of getting rid of it. I personally know alot of group of people who purchased the dvd "America Freedom To Fascism" and they watched it at work with a group of employess and then all marched down to the Human Resource Office and told them that they refused to pay this tax and it has been years and they have not been contacted by IRS as of yet. Educate yourself with "America Freedom To Fascism" and "Loose Change" to fully understand what happened to our Government and how Ron Paul intended to bring it back. I was looking forward to see Ron Paul on the ballet.

I am excited to see that Ron Paul is still actively working to restore our constitutional government. What ever happened to Ross Perot? When he lost he quit, which shows that he was not serious, but Ron Paul is serious. We are a bankrupt nation. As a government we have no money, only debt. If I owe a mortgage note on my house (I do not, I am debt free) then, while I may live in the house, it still belongs to the bank. We are trillions of dollars in debt as a nation to the private bankers, called the Federal Reserve. Ron Paul understands who owns this country. And, yet, we can as a government print our own fiat money without paying for the Feds fiat money. Way to go, Ron. You are the only politician that I have seen that gives me hope. I, too, think that McCain had a stroke of genius asking Sarah Pallin to be his running mate. Here is what I said: http://freethechurch.org/Blog/?p=399
