         <title>Understanding Sovereignty</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p>Political Power can be exercised by voting for representatives to take up space in the legislative or executive branches of government, however it may also be established by personal action taken through the Judicial branch of government by conducting the "One Supreme Court". This is done by exercising sovereignty or controlling the "due process" and "equal protection of the laws" guaranteed by the Constitution.</p>

         <title>Freedom, Liberty, and Responsibility</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p>Freedom and Liberty are PERSONAL attributes.  They are defended by the Individual through the exercise of Judicial Power in the Court.  This means that every interaction between you and any government agent is by one of two process.  Either you proceed by Roman statutory or English common law.  Welcome to life and the court....</p>

         <title>Rally for the Republic!</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<span class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image"><a href="http://www.rallyfortherepublic.com/"><img alt="Rally for the Republic" src="http://www.powerpolitics.com/assets_c/2008/07/rallyheader4-thumb-470x131.jpg" width="470" height="131" class="mt-image-center" style="text-align: center; display: block; margin: 0 auto 20px;"/></a></span>

<p>And a note from Dr. Paul:</p>

<p>If they expected us to retire quietly from the scene, the political elite are in for a surprise.</p>

<p>Today I am making some very big announcements.</p>

<p>First, from August 31 to September 2 in Minneapolis, we will host a handful of events that will shake the political establishment. Everything will culminate on Tuesday with the official launch of the <a href="http://www.campaignforliberty.com/">Campaign for Liberty</a> at the <strong>Rally for the Republic.</strong></p>

<p>The Campaign for Liberty will be the largest organization for peace, freedom, the Constitution, and sound money in American history. It will launch in grand fashion with lots of special guests and - if the early television and print inquiries we&#8217;ve received are any indication - plenty of media attention.</p>

<p>I would like to personally invite you and your family to join me and thousands of others in Minneapolis for these events and send a message to the Republican Party.</p>

<p><strong>Tickets will go on sale for the <a href="http://www.rallyfortherepublic.com/">Rally for the Republic</a> this Friday, July 25 @ 10AM CST.</strong> We want this to be an unforgettable day, so we are holding a <strong>ticket bomb</strong> all day Friday in the tradition of our famous money bombs. How many seats can we sell on the first day?</p>

<p>In patriotic fashion all tickets will cost $17.76, so you can afford to bring the whole family.</p>

<p>This leads me to the second big announcement. After measuring the excitement and enthusiasm, we decided that the Williams Arena at the University of Minnesota was just too small to hold you. Therefore, we are making a significant upgrade. The Rally for the Republic will now take place at the <strong><a href="http://www.targetcenter.com/default.asp?targetcenter=88&amp;urlkeyword=Arena_Info">Target Center</a></strong>, the largest arena in Minneapolis!</p>

<p>This promises to be the most spirited and provocative political event of the year! We held some very large rallies during the presidential campaign, but I have never attempted anything of this scale before. <strong>Its success rests entirely in your hands.</strong></p>

<p>Later this week I will announce two internationally renowned musicians as headliners for the Rally for the Republic. We&#8217;ll also be joined by rock star Aimee Allen, NBC&#8217;s Tucker Carlson, Barry Goldwater Jr., Gov. Gary Johnson, conservative stalwart Grover Norquist, former Reagan deputy Attorney General Bruce Fein, presidential historian Doug Wead, MTV&#8217;s Adam Curry, musician Mark Scibilia, and Frank Sinatra impersonator Rick Ellis. Other special guests will be announced soon.</p>

<p>My staff has been working overtime to provide you with three full days of entertainment. Please visit the schedule page of the website and read all about upcoming events. We also have a lodging page to help you find accommodations in Minneapolis.</p>

<p>Together we are taking back our government and restoring the republic. Please join me in Minneapolis to kickoff the Campaign for Liberty and support our Revolution. <strong>Can I count on you to be there?</strong></p>

<p>In Liberty,</p>

<span class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image"><img alt="Thumbnail image for RPSignature_300dpi.jpg" src="http://www.powerpolitics.com/assets_c/2008/06/RPSignature_300dpi-thumb-230x58.jpg" width="230" height="58" class="mt-image-left" style="margin: 0 20px 20px 0;"/></span>

<p>P.S. I know that you have done so much already, but with both major party nominees threatening to lead us into bankruptcy at home and more wars abroad, the success of the Rally for the Republic and the launch of the Campaign for Liberty is crucial. Please do what you can to be in Minneapolis August 31 - September 2 and send a loud and clear message of freedom, peace, and prosperity.</p>

         <title>To Talk or Not to Talk?</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p>The Constitutional government gives you the right to free speech, to talk freely, to defend your right to talk or defend any other free action.  The words you speak show you are "exercising" your right to defend yourself.  No words, no defense!</p>

<p>The corporate government gives you the right to NOT talk, the right to remain silent.<br />
"The right to remain silent is the right to NOT talk or NOT take action or NOT defend your right.<br />
By exercising the right to NOT take action, you are in fact "waiving" your right to talk.</p>

<p>Remaining silent, or "waiving" your right to talk or defend, gives rise to the ASSUMPTION that because you are not defending, you are agreeing that the charges are true, otherwise you would have defended or exercised your right to defend.</p>

<p>The constitution is the defense or restraining order on all government, by requiring a warrant or order to search or seize.<br />
You must talk to get the agents and get them to recognize your constitutional right, guaranteed by the Fourth Amendment, and have them respect that right.</p>]]></description>

         <title>Ron Paul: Campaign for Liberty</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.campaignforliberty.com"><span class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image"><img alt="campaignforliberty_logo_small.jpg" src="http://www.powerpolitics.com/i/campaignforliberty_logo_small.jpg" width="200" height="128" class="mt-image-right" style="float: right; margin: 0 0 20px 20px;"/></span></a>Friday, June 13, 2008</p>

<p>Over the past 17 months you and I delivered a message of freedom, the likes of which American politics has not seen in decades. With the primary season now over, the presidential campaign has come to an end.  But the Revolution has only begun.</p>

<p>Today I am happy to announce the official launch of the Ron Paul Campaign for Liberty.  Please visit our new website and join us: <a href="http://www.campaignforliberty.com">http://www.campaignforliberty.com</a></p>

<p>Over the next few months I will be developing a program, assembling a team, and announcing new and exciting projects. We will have a permanent presence on the American political landscape. That I promise you.</p>

<p>Right now, I need your patience and support.  I want the Campaign for Liberty to be a grassroots campaign; so your energy, your creativity, your feedback, and your participation are essential.<br />
 <br />
Together, we will educate our fellow Americans in freedom, sound money, non-interventionism, and free markets. We will write commentaries and broadcast videos on the news of the day. And I'll work with friends whom I respect to design materials for homeschoolers.<br />
 <br />
Politically, we will expand the great work of our precinct leader program.  We will make our presence felt at every level of government.  We will keep an eye on Congress, and lobby against legislation that threatens us.  And we will identify and support candidates who champion our great ideas.<br />
 <br />
"In the final analysis," I wrote in my new book The Revolution: A Manifesto, "the last line of defense in support of freedom and the Constitution consists of the people themselves.  If the people want to be free, if they want to lift themselves out from underneath a state apparatus that threatens their liberties, squanders their resources on needless wars, destroys the value of their dollar, and spews forth endless propaganda about how indispensable it is and how lost we would all be without it, there is no force that can stop them."<br />
 <br />
Our time has come to act on these words.</p>

<p>May future generations look back on our work and say that these were men and women who, in a moment of great crisis, stood up to their politicians, the opinion-makers, and the establishment, and saved their country.</p>

<p>For liberty,</p>

<p>P.S. Please join me.  Go to our website, <a href="http://www.campaignforliberty.com">www.campaignforliberty.com</a>, and become a member of the Campaign for Liberty.  Our goal is 100,000 members by September.  Can we reach it?<br />

         <title>REMAIN SILENT; DON&apos;T TAKE THE LAW INTO YOUR OWN HANDS</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p>If you believe that this is the proper action of a free person then you have a lot of brainwashing and training to overcome as this is a major problem and epidemic among the people for whom the U.S. Constitution was written.  The above two "slogans" are total propaganda and made up by the "ruling elite" so that the people will be led by media and miss-information to conform to the "ruling elite's" program.</p>

<p>	This program is the corporate or federal laws that have been designed to take control of each individual's life.  If you do not believe me, read the two slogans again.  Who says one should "remain silent".....the attorneys, judges, and media; all government agents?  Why would they want us to remain silent?  When one remains silent, it is an indication of guilt!!!!!  That's correct.  An innocent person would immediately begin the dialog to evidence the fact that no real crime was committed.  An innocent person would immediately present their "restraining order" to the government agent to prevent the agent from proceeding under corporate or federal Law and make up a crime against the individual.  One cannot do this if they remain silent.</p>

<p>	If one doesn't take the law into their own hands by requiring the agent to follow the national governmental process, i.e. the Constitution, then the agent will automatically proceed by the federal corporate laws and impose his rules upon the individual who failed to bind the agent to the National Constitution.  Believe it or not, every agent of government who has the power to "enforce" the law, takes an oath to uphold each of our Constitutional rights!  But only if the individual requires the agent to abide by that oath at the scene, with them... personally.</p>

<p>	The Constitution is the supreme law of the land, and only available "personally" and "on demand".  You can't get your Constitutional rights if you remain silent.  If you remain silent, you can't take the law into your own hands, and thus you will NOT receive your Constitutional Rights.</p>]]></description>

         <title>Politics and Judicial Activism</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p>Excerpted here is a paragraph of Ron Paul's writing on August 15, 2005 entitled, <a href="http://www.ronpaul2008.com/articles/899/politics-and-judicial-activism/">Politics and Judicial Activism</a>:   </p>

<blockquote>"The public also plays a role in the erosion of our judiciary. Since many citizens lack basic knowledge of our Constitution and federalist system, they are easily manipulated by media and academic elites who tell them that judges are the absolute and final arbiters of US law. But the Supreme Court is not supreme over the other branches of government; it is supreme only over lower federal courts. If Americans wish to be free of judicial tyranny, they must at least develop basic knowledge of the judicial role in our republican government. The present state of affairs is a direct result of our collective ignorance."</blockquote>

<p>This whole paragraph says a lot, however this one statement really grabs my attention, "If Americans wish to be free of judicial tyranny, they must at least develop basic knowledge of the judicial role in our republican government".</p>

<p>This development of "<a href="/about.php">basic knowledge</a>" is the price of freedom.  It takes individual participation, education, power, a new perspective, and the eternal vigilance that Thomas Jefferson talked about.  This is the price we each must pay to redeem our freedom and liberty.</p>

         <title>Liberty Quotes</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<blockquote>&ldquo;Blind submission to the Administration of the government
is not devotion to the country or the Constitution.
The administration is not the government.&rdquo;</blockquote>

<p><cite>-- Edward G. Ryan
(1810-1880) Wisconsin Supreme Court Chief Justice</cite>
<br />
<br /></p>

<blockquote>&ldquo;What is needed here is a return to the Constitution of the United States. We need to have a complete divorce of Bank and State. The old struggle that was fought out here in Jackson's day must be fought over again... The Federal Reserve Act should be repealed and the Federal Reserve Banks, having violated their charters, should be liquidated immediately. Faithless Government officers who have violated their oaths of office should be impeached and brought to trial. Unless this is done by us, I predict that the American people, outraged, robbed, pillaged, insulted, and betrayed as they are in their own land, will rise in their wrath and send a President here who will sweep the money changers out of the temple.&rdquo;</blockquote>

<p><cite>-- Louis McFadden
(1876-1936) US Congressman (R-PA) (1915-1935). Poisoned in 1936.
Source: Speech in Congress, June 10, 1932</cite>
<br />
<br /></p>

<blockquote>&ldquo;There is a place for government in the affairs of men, and
our Declaration of Independence tells us precisely what that place is.
The role of government is to protect individuals in their God-given
individual rights. Freedom is the natural birthright of man, but all
that government can do in behalf of freedom is to let the individual alone,
and it should secure him in his rights by making others let him alone.&rdquo;</blockquote>

<p><cite>-- Rev. Edmund A. Opitz
(1914-2006) American minister, author</cite></p>

         <title>Message from Ron</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p><object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ryMliyeIDp4&amp;rel=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ryMliyeIDp4&amp;rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object></p>

<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ryMliyeIDp4">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ryMliyeIDp4</a></p>

<p>Whoa! What a year this has been. And what achievements we have had. If I may quote Trotsky of all people, this Revolution is permanent. It will not end at the Republican convention. It will not end in November. It will not end until we have won the great battle on which we have embarked. Not because of me, but because of you. Millions of Americans -- and friends in many other countries -- have dedicated themselves to the principles of liberty: to free enterprise, limited government, sound money, no income tax, and peace. We will not falter so long as there is one restriction on our persons, our property, our civil liberties. How much I owe you. I can never possibly repay your generous donations, hard work, whole-hearted dedication and love of freedom. How blessed I am to be associated with you. Carol, of course, sends her love as well.</p>

<p>Let me tell you my thoughts. With Romney gone, the chances of a brokered convention are nearly zero. But that does not affect my determination to fight on, in every caucus and primary remaining, and at the convention for our ideas, with just as many delegates as I can get. But with so many primaries and caucuses now over, we do not now need so big a national campaign staff, and so I am making it leaner and tighter. Of course, I am committed to fighting for our ideas within the Republican party, so there will be no third party run. I do not denigrate third parties -- just the opposite, and I have long worked to remove the ballot-access restrictions on them. But I am a Republican, and I will remain a Republican.</p>

<p>I also have another priority. I have constituents in my home district that I must serve. I cannot and will not let them down. And I have another battle I must face here as well. If I were to lose the primary for my congressional seat, all our opponents would react with glee, and pretend it was a rejection of our ideas. I cannot and will not let that happen.</p>

<p>In the presidential race and the congressional race, I need your support, as always. And I have plans to continue fighting for our ideas in politics and education that I will share with you when I can, for I will need you at my side. In the meantime, onward and upward! The neocons, the warmongers, the socialists, the advocates of inflation will be hearing much from you and me.</p>

<p>Sincerely,</p>

<p>Ron</p>

         <title>A Miraculous Success</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p>Posted: 06 Feb 2008 08:19 AM CST
A comment left on <a href="http://www.dailypaul.com/node/34459">this thread</a>:</p>

<p>I have been voting for the freedom candidate since 1980 (Ed Clark), including Ron Paul in '88. They all lost. And I guess having my candidate lose every year was not ENOUGH loss for me so I ran for congress myself on the Libertarian ticket. And lost. Hahahaha! Did you really think we could just waltz in and take over the country? Without a fight? Sorry, but turning a ship 180 degrees takes time, especially when lots of powerful people are fighting you.</p>

<p>For those of us who have been fighting for liberty for more than the last few months, Ron Paul's 2008 campaign is a miraculous success. Almost overnight, a powerful Nationwide organization has formed around Ron Paul. It very well may propel him to the White House, but even if it doesn't, the fight for liberty has been advanced dramatically - beyond anything I thought would happen in my lifetime - and will continue to grow and spread. We have reached critical mass now.</p>

<p>Our job is to educate our countrymen. Right now the best vehicle for that is the Ron Paul 2008 campaign. Even if RP wins the White House in 08, we will STILL have a huge job to do. In fact, our job will be the same either way - to educate our community and elect freedom-loving representatives. Having RP in the "bully pulpit" of the Presidency will be an enormous aid, but we will still be in a battle on the streets.</p>

<p>Quit if you must. Maybe it doesn't matter much to you. Maybe this was just a lark for you. Maybe you don't have children. Maybe you don't care about our posterity. Maybe you will not be ashamed at handing over a bankrupt dictatorship to the next generation.</p>

<p>As for me, there is no place to go but onward with the fight.</p>
