A CA organizer speaking: We had a good crowd on APril 15 but far fewer on July 3rd. We chose the 3rd because the 4th is so hectic because of the inland travelers and the fireworks near our chosen location.
We must make standing up as Campaign for Liberty members such a high priority that nothing inteferes with attending our local TEA PARTY and persuading others to recognise the danger we all face as gov’t continues to grow to tyrannical proporations.
No more excuses for not taking action!

I know that everyone that posted here is wishing their vote mattered to their government. The ugly truth is that it does not. As long as the electoral college exists, write in votes are not counted, and a two party system that forces us to choose which puppet goes into office next, we will never enjoy the freedoms promised by our Constitution. United we stand, divided we fall – Pink Floyd.

Ron Paul was the bright and shining star of limited government, fiscal responsibility, and a voice of the American people who have refused to be brain washed by the boob tube.

Time to Tea Party. . .

It is great that Dr. Ron Paul has gotten some decent numbers in these states.

However…

As much as I would love to see him as our next president, it is also important and very crucial to remember that Dr. Paul more so than an official, is a revolutionary and a light in the darkness of our politics.

He is gaining incredible popularity via the use of different mediums, and especially because of his sincere, just and insightful beliefs and opinions.

He is like that American Idol guy who didn’t win the prize, but became more famous than the winner anyway by breaking huge records and having his music in every radio and bar.

I see Dr. Ron Paul the same way.

He is the underdog who is winning the hearts, minds and attention of more and more people every single day and minute… not only in the US but also abroad.

It truly is a revolution!

Please keep going. We are supporting you!

Together we can change our country and the world.

Ron Paul is not a “Radical”, nut, demonstrator or such. We run the Tea Party “club” and our weapon is the ballot box. As of today we have 37,000,000 members on our external hard drives sorted and purged for duplicates. We cannot write Ron Paul directly and he is not a fancy slick three card monte scam artist from the streets of New York City nor needs a telepromter. What he needs is money, lots of it in millions; in very small denominations by USPS money order. We need the Gold Standard Money and the bums out of congress and the senate and that will take 2-6 years. We can help. Log on to http://www.mises.org

Thank you Ms. Lightfoot for great work and communicating with us and counting these write-ins. I think, if the votes for Ron Paul actually counted for something other than our enthusiasm, the 17,000 figure would have likely been much higher. Perhaps in the future there will be a way to pressure state election officials to somehow count write-in ballots toward primary and actual election tallies.

Ron Paul’s total vote in CA on Nov 4, 2008 is 17,006 statewide. I am in the process of getting the county by county votes. When I have them all, I will be posting the numbers to the Ron Paul Electors I am in contact with by email and some one will be able to post them on one or more of the Ron Paul sites.
I think we did good. Unlike other states, our votes were counted in CA thanks to well over the required 54 volunteers who filed papers to serve as Ron Paul Electors.

I want to reiterate something that I mentioned at the start of this post, that I believe is the case (though I could be wrong, and I HOPE I am wrong). Even if Ron Paul got enough write-in votes in California to give him a majority of votes in that state, he could not actually win any congressional or presidential position, as only candidates “on the ballot” are considered eligible in the election. Which begs the point, why have a space for write-in candidates at all, if they don’t actually count toward anything? Like it says on my car bumper sticker, my president is Ron Paul, but to the state of California, I don’t think he was ever even in the running, since he was not officially on the ballot.

Are the California votes still not counted? It’s the middle of Dec. Or, are they just not up on the site?

I also wonder about the California election results where Paul was a “legal” write-in candidate. I wrote California Secretary of State Debra Bowen about write-in results and was told that the write-in votes wouldn’t be completely counted till 35 days after the election.

Thirty-five days later…where are the results?

I don’t like the electoral college methed. I think there should be group of about 24 canidates in the begining. Halfway throu do a primary so the canidates can see what there chances are, and if they want they can drop out. On election day you can vote for any of the 24 or so, or do a wright in. All serious wright ins will be counted. Obviously if you wright in Micky Mouse, that vote is truely wasted. Just like my vote for Ron Paul in Malden Ma. I will do it agian in four years too. Ron I believe you are this countrys last chance of holding on to the little freedoms we do have. I have a strong feeling the electronic voting machines have been compromised. I think ACORN got alot of fake votes for Barak too. I will see you in Boston on Sunday. I am syched!
