Google Terrain Mapping

Google just keeps getting better with age. I guess they just rolled out their new terrain view for google maps. Man is it a lot of fun.

Ron Paul takes chattown by storm

Wow what a night! Last night the Ron Paul Chattanooga meetup group met at Ryan's on Lee highway. It was a HUGE success! Fun was had by all. Here is a picture I took and it should give a little idea of how many people were there. In all I would say we had about 50 people at the meeting, with another 15 or so that showed up to sign the delegate petitions and to pick up bumper stickers and yard signs. I am starting to think it is safe to assume that the number of Ron Paul supporters in the Chattanooga area is well into the 1000s.

The highlight of the night was the conversation that took place once the meeting was over. I met some really great people who also share my concerns about this country and where we are heading. Nothing I could write would really do justice to the conversation we had so I am not going to even try.

I will just say this; last night really has me thinking about starting a Chattanooga think tank for promoting Constitutional awareness in District 3. I have no clue where I would put it on my plate, but having the opportunity to review and debate current, past, and pending legislation with fellow constitutionally minded people from District 3 could be a great way to reintroduce fellow Chattanoogans to the United States Constitution. I will have to put some more thought into this over the next week or so.

Do you live in District 3 (Zach Wamp's District)?

There are 5 people from District 3 who are running as delegates, and we really need your help. Each of these 5 people needs 150 signatures from registered voters who live in district 3. You may sign all five petitions.

If you would like to help out then please drop by and sign the petitions. There will also be Ron Paul yard signs, bumper stickers, and a ton Ron Paul info to be had by all. Please come by and bring a friend. You do not have to be a member of the meetup group to come by. Right now the most important thing we can do is get our District 3 delegates in place.

The next Chattanooga Ron Paul meetup is tommorow night (Thursday 15th). So far we have about 45 people that will be there. We need 150+ so we need you!

If you have questions then please leave a comment. If not, then here is the info on when and where. We have the back room in Ryan's reserved. You do not need to eat if you would rather not. Please come. Also, you can call me if you need to: 505-1467

Insurgents take over National Right to Life

I can hardly believe that a great organization such as the National Right to Life would back Fred Thompson. I am appalled actually. I put this on the same plain as Robertson backing Rudy. Clearly the most pro-life candidate right now is Dr. Ron Paul. Seriously, let Fred Thompson's actions speak for themselves. He has done lobbying for Pro-Abortion groups in the past. NRL what were you thinking?

Please send the NRL an email and ask them what they were thinking: National Right to Life Committee

Ron Paul on Face the Nation

If you missed Ron Paul on Face the Nation this morning then here is the video.

What kind of accent do you have?

When I saw this survey I just had to take it. I have always been one of those people with no accent. Well, that is what I have been told. I remember once I was asked by someone from Ontario, CA if I was from Ontario. The odd thing is that I grew up in Louisiana. I grew up in an area called the North Shore, which is about 30 miles north of New Orleans. It finally dawned on me a few years ago why I had no accent. It was because in the late 70's and early 80's the vast majority of people that settled on the North Shore where those that came South for the oil boom. That influx of people created a real mix of people from all over the country.

I just want to add that if you visit the North Shore now you will hear a distinctly New Orleans accent. In the 90's there was a large influx of people from Orleans and Jefferson parish, which really change the accent. Then when Katrina hit the accent was changed for good.

A must read blog post

Check out this post from Chattanooga blogger sjames. I am so glad to see the support that Ron Paul is getting. Every day I meet people who are getting excited about this guy. Here is a link to the post: Ron Paul and Fred Thompson

Boston Tea Party 2007

Don't miss the Boston Tea Party of 2007! The Ron Paul Revolution is really picking up steam, and it is all being done grassroots! This is a once in a life time opportunity to help get America back on a constitutional footing. Don't miss December 16th. I have heard a lot of people say they are going to give $17.76 because the $100 was out of their price range. What matters is the number of people that give not that you could afford the $100. I gave on the 5th of November, so I can not afford to give $100 again. Though, you can count me in for $17.76.

Ron Paul. One Day. $4.3 Million.

What a day!!!!

Go Ron Go!!!! Here is the Associated Press story.

Carpe Diem!

Today is the day, now is the time.

Campaigning for Ron Paul in Chattanooga

Today I spent an hour down at the Ron Paul table that the Chattanooga Ron Paul meetup group setup at North Gate Mall. I can not believe how energizing it was to hand out flyers and to get to speak with people about Dr. Paul and what he stands for. In the hour I was down there we probably handed out 100+ flyers. I personally had some really good conversations with people who had never heard of Dr. Paul.

What I am most surprised about is how receptive most people are. Though, I guess it should not come as a shock. When people pick up on the message of freedom and of our need to get back to a constitutionally minded government lights just turn on. It is really fun to see people walk away from a conversation saying "This is the type of politician I have been looking for".

Well, if you have not gotten a bumper sticker or a yard sign then head down to North Gate tomorrow and pick one up. Also, here is a link if you have not signed up for the Chattanooga Ron Paul meetup group.

This November 5th

If you want Dr. Paul to be the next president, then now is the time to act. On November 5th Ron Paul supporters are trying to raise $10,000,000. The goal is to make it the biggest one day political donation event in history. The plan is to have 100,000 people donate $100 each.

Over the last two weeks there has been about 16,000 people that have signed up. Between now and next Monday (November 5th) please take some time to think about whether you should give. The time between now and the Primaries will go quickly. If you want Ron Paul to be the next president then now is the time to act. If you have not done your research yet then please do so now. Just head out to Ron Paul 2008 and check out his issues page. Again time is short.

If you plan on giving then head out to This November 5th and sign up by giving your email address. They are taking an email address to get the number of people that are going to give. Then on November 5th go to Ron Paul 08 and give.
