"Because if you don't join and fight for your rights, eventually you'll get what you deserve (and your Founding Fathers fought to stave off!)."

John van Doorn (May 13, 2008)

"drivin a dedicated supporters of Liberty and Freedom, the R3volution is just beginning and the old guard is feeling a bit shaky!! Ron needs our help and enthusiasm now more than ever let's keep up the Revolution. Our preservation of Liberty and Freedom starts with each of us..we all need to do our part and this group is going above and beyond that."

Regan (May 11, 2008)

"If you truly believe in personal liberty and a complete lack of governmental intrusiveness in your life, this is a great group and movement to be a part of. This is the place to meet like-minded people that will engage in intelligent conversation rather than regurgitate what they've heard from the biased mainstream media."

Craig (May 11, 2008)

"Liberty is worth fighting for."

Mike Benoit (May 11, 2008)

"Join because you love freedom and want to preserve American liberties. Join because you can spare just a few minutes a week to keep the fight for our freedoms alive. Join because you believe that truth is our greatest offense and defense. Join because we're a great group of folks who love other folks enough to at least try to fight the battle against our foes...and there are so many of them these days...we're here to help, and find the answers to the big question. "What can I do to stop all this insanity?""

Penelope E. Xanthakis (May 10, 2008)

Matt Compton (Mar 26, 2008)

"Most people don't even realize the freedoms are disappearing until it is to late. If you think somethings are not quit right then join our group to find the answers to what real freedom is and how to get it back."

Dan Felzer (Mar 23, 2008)

"The debate was truly painful to sit through, but I can't say I didn't expect that, so I guess I deserved it! Who needs water-boarding -- just force the big bad terrorists to sit through one of these! There's GOT to be something to do to stop another generation of Hunters from representing this district."

DonnaO (Mar 11, 2008)

"Most definitely YES. If we don't start to bring some level of intelligence to politics, our children are doomed to this kind of lack of common sense and lack of leadership"

About this Meetup




The purpose of this San Diego Ron Paul Meetup Group is to enable supporters to join efforts and create events that promote awareness, name recognition, and voter turnout for Ron Paul's candidacy as President. The more people who hear the message, the more successful we will be.

Come to our Balboa Park Rally this February 2nd!
http://ronpaul.meetup...

Anyone who supports Ron Paul and his message, regardless of political affiliation, is welcome. To succeed we the people, Americans, must come together behind the common goals of freedom and the Constitution.

We ask that those who are able to do so donate to the official campaign to enable the campaign to grow and the message of freedom to spread. No one who wants to help educate people and spread the word about Ron Paul will ever be turned away, as this campaign is built upon the energy and enthusiasm of the grassroots people involved.

It's easy to get involved - just come to any of the events listed on the calendar and be a part of this historic Revolution!


Electing Ron Paul as President in support of freedom and the Constitution is truly a multi-partisan effort. Regardless of which party you identify yourself with, if you wish to vote for Ron Paul you must register as a Republican on or before Jan 22, 2008 in California and vote in the Primary elections on February 5, 2008. Absentee ballots are available to those who want them.

To learn more about Ron Paul, visit the Campaign's Official Website. You can also Google "Ron Paul" or search his name on YouTube for many fantastic sources of information and videos!


For those in the group who want to discuss activities, strategies, and news relating to Ron Paul, please post to the Messages section (forums) on this site.

Update: On Jan 21, we have our second major money bomb to coincide with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr Day. Both Dr. King and Dr. Paul stood for and fought for our Constitution, equality, civil rights/liberties, and freedom for all Americans. Be a part of our modern Revolution and donate to the cause of freedom on January 21, 2008!
