I Get to See Tom Woods Again!

Note to people: If you want me to do something or go somewhere, you must directly ask me. Simply posting links on Facebook will not do it. I have way too much going on, I don’t really pay attention. I’d seen this event a dozen times, but didn’t even consider going until a friend emailed me and asked if I was going. Even if you email me, I might say no, but at least I will think about it. So my dad and I are going down to Normal on November 17th to IL State U to hear (and see)…

End of a Season

,

I have officially stepped down from my position as Campaign for Liberty County Coordinator.  I’ve left it in the capable hands of my fellow coordinator, Darren J. The whole thing is a little surprising. It was hard to make the decision, but all through the process, I felt like it wasn’t really happening. It wasn’t until it was actually over, and my name taken off the county page that it sunk in what I had done. I don’t regret my decision. I’m sorry that I had to do it, but I still am confident that it was the right thing…

Review of “For Liberty” on WPT

I was able to watch the interview on Wisconsin Public Television’s Director’s Cut with the Directors/Producers (Chris Rye & Corey Kealiher) of the film, “For Liberty: How the Ron Paul Revolution Watered the Withered Tree of Liberty,” which gave me a closer view into what motivated these men put this movie together. What drew them to Ron Paul? His anti-war position and strict constitutional beliefs poignantly set him apart from the rest of the Republican Party. His common sense ideas are a stark contrast to the warmongering of the other candidates, like this quote, “They come over here and attack…

Notes from the “For Liberty” Interview

, ,

This is totally off the top of my head, as I was watching the interview on WPT. So it is a little random, sorry. The directors/producers point out that they were drawn to Ron Paul because of his foreign policy. He was cut out of the Republican Party because of his strict Constitutional non-interventionist position. Ron Paul: (not an exact quote, but approximate) “We have to look at it from the position of how would we feel if they did it to us?” “It is just the message of liberty. It brings people together from all sides of the spectrum.”…

My Journey

It was a little over a year ago when I decided to join the Campaign for Liberty. I had been inspired by Ron Paul’s presidential campaign, and with the rise of the Tea Parties, I realized I wanted to be more involved and active in that movement. It was a big step for me, but I fell into it naturally. I quickly found out that I have good leadership skills, perhaps because I can practice so much on my siblings, but at any rate, I enjoyed working in the Campaign for Liberty. At the time when I joined, I would…
