New direction for this site...
This site began as a simple project in July of 2007 to distribute bumper stickers promoting Ron Paul for President. My goal was to send out all 100 bumper stickers that I purchased for the project. In the end, I sent over 6,000 bumper stickers to all 50 states as the "Ron Paul Revolution" went from nothing to national sensation.
As time wore on, funds available to run this project diminished, even while demand for the stickers remained high. I sustained it while I could, but in the end this became a behemoth I could no longer attend to. My sincere thanks to this of you that helped out, and to those of you that displayed your stickers proudly.
That said, the ongoing purpose of this site is now changing. Back in 2007, I did not know who Ron Paul was. I'd never heard of him, and to be honest, I thought he looked a little goofy on stage when I first saw him. That view, however, was quickly changed, as I learned about his policies and views. No, I did not agree with every aspect of his platform -- but what I found was that this was a politician that, at last, was finally promoting the viewpoints that I've had since I was a kid. The concepts of limited government, personal responsibility, and individual freedom. A distain for lumping people into groups for purposes of providing that group a benefit -- or punishing them with a hindrance -- as though the members of that group were not individual, free thinking people like me. The concept that people should take care of themselves, prosper in freedom, and help their communities and their country voluntarily, as they see fit, because they know it is the right thing to do. A belief that the role of government is defined by the Constitution, and is limited to ensuring that the rights of individuals is not infringed upon by other citizens, by foreign governments, or by our own government.
In Ron Paul, I saw someone that embraced this message -- my message -- and that is why I engaged in supporting his campaign.
I do not know what the future of the Ron Paul campaign holds, but what I can tell you is that I will continue to spread the message of individual freedom, limited government, and liberty. My hope is that, by spreading this message, we can return America to it's roots where the pursuit of life, liberty, and happiness was up to the individual -- a blank slate where people could pursue their lives however they wanted, so long as they didn't interfere with the rights of other individuals.
Here's to liberty.
Sincerely,
Jeff
