April a Busy Month for Ron Paul If you think Ron Paul is finished with his campaign, take a look at his April schedule.by Chris Johns

A look at Ron Paul's website reveals an active month in store for the Texas Congressman. With rallies scheduled at several Pennsylvania colleges and universities, a speaking engagement at his alma mater Gettysburg College, a trip to Maryland, an appointment with the Nevada Republican State Convention, and yesterday's appearance with Glenn Beck, April could prove to be one of the busiest months Dr. Paul has faced.
This is, no doubt, wonderful news to those who have been closely following Ron Paul's campaign. Congressman Paul knows how to pack a house, and no matter the size of the facility, one can be sure that those anxious to hear Paul speak will test the local Fire Marshall's tolerance a bit. If tickets were sold for admission, the value would be such that the ticket itself may become valuable enough to use as a private volunteer barter currency. That is, unless the Justice Department hears about it.
The internet crowd, which mainly consists of well, everybody, will also find delight in Paul's busy April schedule. Every time Ron Paul addresses a crowd, indeed every time he utters a word on television or radio, his words are almost instantly uploaded to YouTube where his loyal supporters "bump" the video, express their devotion the good doctor, and voice their disappointment with everything from the Federal Reserve to the war in Iraq.
Although Dr. Paul hasn't dropped out of the race, he and his faithful supporters are slowly coming to terms with the idea that barring a well placed lightening strike, Dr. Paul will not be the Republican nominee. Yet Dr. Paul presses on, spreading his message of freedom, sound money, and peace to anybody willing to hear it. Ron Paul said early in his campaign that he was going all the way to the Republican National Convention. From the look of his April schedule, that still appears to be the plan.

Let's not forget that John McCain is about to be in big trouble for campaign finance violations of his OWN LAW! The Democrats are aware of this and already preparing their paperwork and getting their ducks in a row. Ron Paul needs to hang in there. Even if he doesn't get the nomination, the longer he hangs out there, the more news that gets made about him and about us, the Ron Paul Revolution / People.
Also don't forget that we've made huge headway in Texas, Missouri, Alaska, and a few other states... with more to go. We can definitely make a big statement. I mean, heck, Ron Paul was on the Clinton News Network last night. Main Stream Media IS catching on. Although the chances of dominating the headlines like Obama/Clinton is unlikely, the bigger splash we can make, the better.
Finally, there are some scary things on the GOP Platform right now. We need every Ron Paul Person, every Constitutionalist, every single true Conservative to influence as much as possible.
Thank you for your article. Lincoln had less than 5% of the delegates when he went in to the convention. Could the information below cause the "well placed lightening strike" of which you write?
According to spending reports filed last week by McCain's campaign, the Arizona senator has broken the limits set by the presidential public financing system.
Candidates such as McCain, who have committed to public financing, are only allowed to spend up to $54 million on the primary. McCain, however, spent $58.4 million.
1: If the FEC allows Mccain to withdraw from FED matching funds he will be revoked from many delegates in states that he was able to be on the ballot without the required number of signatures therefore he will lose any delegates for him in those states.
2: If the FEC doesn't release him from matching funds he will be capped at 50 million dollars and will kill his run for president because he will not have the money to compete.
The problem is even more complicated than this. McCain used the matching funds eligibility to avoid having to collect signatures to qualify for ballot access in several states, including Ohio, Pennsylvania and Delaware.
