This post is a little early (about 5 hours early at the time of writing), but I felt it was necessary to get the word out before midnight tonight.
A recent WHAS poll, out of Louisville, KY (and no it's not an internet poll...) has current Secretary of the State (and presumed nominee) Trey Grayson with 33% of the vote. Grayson is a part of what I like to call the Mitch McConnell Machine. He is a politician and nothing more. He doesn't want to do what's right for Kentucky or the rest of the country, like Mitch he only cares about getting re-elected when the election is near and the rest of the time dedicates his political efforts to bringing money back to the "good ol' boys" of Kentucky. I'm sure many of you can site similar examples in your own states, involving your own senators and representatives.
So, what does any of this have to do with Ron Paul's b-day? (So glad you asked...)
In second place in that poll with 26% of the vote (versus Grayson's 37%) is...
Dr. RAND PAUL!
That's right; the son of Dr. Ron Paul, an eye surgeon from the great state of Kentucky is a contender in the senate race. Unlike his father, the news has not ignored Rand early in his campaign for Senate, and I even know a few KY "neo-con" types that like him...
So, far Tray Grayson has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars, shattering the competition in fundraising. Rand has raised only $224,000 at the time of writing this. Tomorrow that will all change. In honor of the Dr. Ron Paul's 74th birthday, we are having a Ron-Paul-Type-Money- Bomb for his son's senate race.
The goal is $1 Million dollars in a day, starting at midnight tonight! And like his father's old website they are asking for $2 Million to win. Regardless of if the money is all raised tomorrow or not, I am willing to bet on at least $500,000 in the next 31 hours.
But let's see if we can make it the full $1,000,000!
I know some of you out there in Fooldom were like me and very much asleep or apathetic before the good doctor came along and woke you from your life-long slumber. The Ron Paul movement has shown lasting power. Even though we didn't win the presidency, we won countless other battles. We reminded people that the Constitution and specifically the Bill of Rights still matters.
If you are still sleeping, the rest of us are waiting for you to join us. We will fight for your liberty even while you attempt to give it away. We know what we are trying to do will catch on eventually because...
Freedom is Popular!
Join me. There is no law that says that someone outside of the state of KY can't donate to its senate race. Get your friends and family to donate. Every single dollar helps. We have an opportunity for real change here, a chance to vote with your wallets even if you can't vote at the ballot for someone who will never vote for an unbalanced budget (neither a R or a D one). Someone who will introduce legislation requiring that all legislation be read in full before a senator or rep will be eligible to vote on it. Someone who will never vote to raise your taxes, will work to make the Federal Reserve more transparent, and actually understands Healthcare and what is required to fix it.
Long Live All Defenders of the Constitution!
For Liberty,
