It May Very Well Be Ron Paul's Time Congressman Ron Paul did not want to run for President, but family and friends convinced him that the time for the message was nigh!by CT Johnson

Congressman Ron Paul did not want to run for president. He had tried in 1988 as the Libertarian candidate and found to his dismay a very undemocratic system. The system was so biased against third parties that it was near to impossible to get a podium at the debates. It was just as challenging trying to get on all of the ballots across this Republic. It would take a billionaire by the name of Ross Perot who was willing to spend vast sums of his personal money to get on the ballots and get in the debates.
Ron Paul went back to medicine and continued to support the Constitutional cause and eventually returned to Congress and has served continuous for the last 10 years (Note: he had served 10 years as a Republican Congressman before his 1988 run). Fellow citizens and family urged him for years to run again, but weary from his previous run he thought that the time was not right for the message.
The message that he and a small minority of Americans espoused and supported was that of the founding fathers. The message of Liberty, Freedom, and a small limited Federal government bound to the Constitutionour highest law in the land.
Close friends and family believed going into 2007 that Ron Paul should try another run for President. They believed that the time was nigh for the Message'the true American Message' espoused by our founders. Ron Paul was skeptical, but set up an exploratory committee and found that there was support. Still skeptical he started his run for President of the United States.
It wasn't long before in an early spring Fox debate that Ron Paul and destiny came together. Mayor Rudy Giuliani attempted to twist Congressman Paul's words about why the terrorists attack us. America's mayor received huge applause, but it was the opening the good doctor had been waiting for. This gave him the opportunity to explain to the nation the concept of "blowback" which in the physics world is called cause and effect. To be honest with my readers...this was the moment that this ex-neoconservative, ex-military writer encountered his own personal paradigm shift. Ron Paul went on to explain that they don't attack us because we are free and rich. They attack us because our government (not us the people) has an aggressive foreign policy and that they are angry with our troops being on their holy land (i.e. the Saudi Arabian peninsula). This writer was personally stunned...then I started researching...then I became angry.
Previously, I did not want to admit the obvious...to admit it in my mind would be siding with our despised enemy...the socialist democrats. Once I realized that many top tier Democrat presidential contenders had voted for this war and were really just pandering the anti-Iraq war message to their base, then and only then did I feel comfortable that I could be proud to be an anti-unconstitutional war conservative. [ For all of you Kucinich and Gravel supporters...yes they are good men...kudos! just cannot side with someone who espouses socialism/Vampirism which I talk about in a previous article]
Many other conservatives have had the blinders lifted and seen the truth in Ron Paul's message. Over the past couple of months his support...real...on the ground and financial is accelerating at a much faster rate than any other Republican candidate. As I write this article...December 16th...the anniversary of the Boston Tea Party on the East Coast has come upon us. Today, Ron Paul will become the undisputed Republican money leader in this race...all of it from we the people...zero corporate donations. My fellow Americans...he's catching on! It may very well be Ron Paul's time...our time...the perfect time for the timeless American message that our founders fought for!

You are so right!
It is indeed time for Ron Paul. As of the time of this message, Ron Paul has already raised roughly $600,000 in two hours of his Boston Tea Party moneybomb. My personal prediction is that his website will have recorded about $6,000,000 for the entire day.
