Canvassing Chattanooga for Dr. Paul

This past weekend I took my maiden voyage into the mad crazy world of door to door Canvassing. Well, it was really neither mad nor crazy, and it was surprisingly a lot of fun. I was pretty nervous leading up to hitting the streets, but just as all the canvassing experts said once you get started it can be a lot of fun.

We decided to hit the precinct that David Shinn lives in because he was the veteran at canvassing and he had also gone and signed up as a precinct captain on the Ron Paul website, so he had all the addresses we needed to hit.

On Saturday there were three in our group that hit the streets. I know several other groups in Chattanooga area headed out as well. On Saturday it was David Shinn, Jim, and I who worked together. On Sunday it was just David S. and I. By looking at the google map it looks like we hit a minimum oft 430 homes on those two days. I would guess that between our group and the other groups that we hit well more than 1000 homes on those two days.

Next weekend should be another good weekend for hitting the streets. Hopefully the soreness will have gone by then. I used to hike a whole bunch, but this cube life is killing me!

Grand Opening of Cleveland Ron Paul headquarters

Last night was the Grand Opening of the Cleveland Ron Paul headquarters. We were only able to stay for about a half hour, but the turnout was really good. What strikes me as the funny about this clip is that for some reason John David is in the piece 3 times.

I just noticed that Edwards is on the first frame of the clip.....LOL

Pralines Recipe

A fellow coworker, who is also from the New Orleans area, made some really good pralines this past Christmas, and today she passed the recipe on to me. I thought I would post it here, so I don't lose it.

Dr. Ron Paul Endorsed by Jane Roe

This is a really huge endorsement, and it happened on the 35th Anniversary of Roe v. Wade. Here is what she said:

For those who do not know Norma McCorvey aka Jane Roe's story then here is a link to her wikipedia entry. I have to say that this endorsement makes me feel much better about my post done back in November about Insurgents taking over the National Right to Life. With that in mind I would like to welcome all the Thompson supporters to the Dr. Paul campaign! We are glad to have you!

Interview on WGOW this morning

Summer and I were on WGOW at noon today to talk about Ron Paul. We were on from 12:00 to 1:00, and we had a really good time. This was my first time on the radio, so I had not clue how it would go. It was a lot of fun, and something I would love to do again.

Here is a link to the MP3. It is close to 10 megs, so if you are bandwidth challenged then you might want to forgo the download. Here is the link: WGOW interview about Ron Paul

Ron Paul, the only true Republican on the stage.

This was my favorite exchange from last night's debate.

CAMERON: Congressman Paul, yet another question about electability. Do you have any, sir? There's always the question as to whether or not...

(LAUGHTER)

... you are, in fact, viable. Your differences with the Republicans on the -- with the rest of the Republi-cans on this stage has raised questions about whether or not you can actually win the Republican nomi-nation, sir.

PAUL: Well, we've only had two little primaries so far. So it's pretty premature to decide which one is going to be the candidate.

But, you know, when you think about it, if you measured everything I've ever said, every vote I've ever taken against the Constitution, you know, I'm a strict constitutionalist.

Are you suggesting the Republicans should write me off because I'm a strict constitutionalist? I'm the most conservative member here. I have voted, you know, against more spending and waste in govern-ment than anybody else.

(APPLAUSE)

So you're suggesting that I'm not electable and the Republicans don't want me because I'm a strict fiscal conservative, because I believe in civil liberties? Why should we not be defending civil liberties and why should we not be talking about foreign policy that used to be the part of the Republican Party?

PAUL: Mr. Republican Robert Taft didn't even want us to be in NATO and you're saying now that we have to continue to borrow money from China to finance this empire that we can't afford?

Let me see if I get this right. We need to borrow $10 billion from China, and then we give it to Mushar-raf, who is a military dictator, who overthrew an elected government. And then we go to war, we lose all these lives promoting democracy in Iraq. I mean, what's going on here?

(APPLAUSE)

And you're saying that this isn't appealing to Republicans? Where did this come about? I think this is the Republican message. I defend the platform. It used to say we'd (inaudible) the Department of Education. It doesn't say that now.

We, as Republicans, went and doubled the size of the Department of Education, so where have we gone? I think we've lost our way. And then the insinuation that I am less Republican because of that?

HUME: Congressman, thank you very much.
