Take the Pledge

All Presidential Candidates should make pledges like those below. If they
refuse, then you should refuse to vote for them.

1. No More Oil Wars.

2. Work for independence from foreign oil on day one.

3. No more wars for corporate profit.

4. No more secret deals for $4 per gallon gas.

5. No more Chicken Hawks promoting wars of choice when they themselves avoided combat.

6. Make government green–if you can’t make what you have the most control over
green, I don’t care about your plans to make the country green.

7. No more torture.

8. No more lying about torture.

9. No more re-defining torture.

10. No more drunken hunting.

11. No more secret deals with big corporations to divide up the spoils before the war even starts.

A great deal of Ron Paul’s support on the net is spontaneous and not related to his official effort. There are many thousands of people from all 50 states who have known Dr. Paul for many years. We have been urging him to run for President for years and now that he has finally agreed (reluctantly, I might add) we are pulling out all the stops to get him elected.
We have known for decades that if Ron’s message could be brought before the American people, he would have the support of millions who have gotten so disgusted with politics that they don’t even bother to vote.
Check Ron’s MySpace page and look at the comments. It’s working. A large partion of the people who sign up comment that they have never voted before because they couldn’t find anyone to believe in. Now that Ron is running, they feel they are finally being represented.
Ron Paul in 2008! Peace and Freedom! Hope for America!

Jonathan – I really think this stuff is being driven by supporters and not the Paul campaign itself.

As evidence that this is a backlash against the MSM, one need look no further than an editorial in Tuesday’s Post: “Voters trying to sort out their presidential choices aren’t helped by debates cluttered with the likes of . . . Ron Paul.” Things like Digg and YouTube and blogs represent the nexus of grassroots mobilization and democracy.

On a related matter, as Josh and Todd point out, since Paul obviously has a tipping point of support online, why is his campaign Web site so bare-bones and simply awful?
