Please forgive me if this is really stupid but in the world of disinformation (italy in particular) many things are hidden..

Anyway.

In italy all television news talks only about war between Obama and Hillary, but about Ron Paul 0 (zero) confused Why? Is he into the competition yet?

Thanks in case
Rosario

Not a surprise.....The mainstream media here in the States, ignored Paul when he was raking in 6 million dollar donations. The mainstream media is controlled by those with a one-world agenda and they will ignore every candidate who doesn't fit their criterion. But to answer your question, Ron Paul has been in the "competition" for over a year and will right to the end. I understand he still has 4 million dollars to play with.

Many of us plan to "write him in" in November. This means that even though he won't be on the ballot in November, we have the opportunity to physically write his name in on our ballots.


Some want him to run on one of the 'third' party tickets, but if he does that he'll have to give up his congressional seat, so it's not likely.

OK thanks.

I hope Ron will win. I think he is one of the few serious candidate for the future of american people and for the entire world.. I don't know Obama, but Hillary i don't like her at all.. Her behaviour is much "mafious".. one day she goes down in popularity, the other day she reborns.. and so on.. all this is really strange.. Anyway..

Hi Rosario,

Your question is not stupid, it's a good question!

It seems pretty obvious the media did have a bias against Dr. Paul, observed by their disrespect, ignoring him, not providing press coverage, or wanting to leave him out of debates. Some of this is from the anchors we see on television and most from program directors (?) who decide who gets coverage and who doesn't. If you don't get TV coverage, you can forget winning.

Even now, many americans don't know who he is. It's hard too for anyone who isn't well known to the public to gain momentum in an election year. These things almost have to be started in the previous presidential election cycle to get your name and face out there in the public.

I know there is much talk about "writing in" Ron Paul, and I agree with this. I would, however, ask that we all watch carefully what happens in this election and hold off on our exact course of action.

I want Ron Paul to win, but I just don't know if he can win. I'm hoping a well known person steps forward, someone who really believes in the Freedom Movement. If so, perhaps we can rally around this person who could get our support, as well as the majority of americans. If this could happen, we'd have a good president AND Ron Paul in the Congress to help out.

I'm sure we'll discuss this prior to the General Election in November to have a coordinated voice.

I'm informing everyone I come across on how to write in a candidate namely Ron Paul. It might be a protest vote and will they report on these votes.... who knows. It might be reported as follows:

Hilary 45%
McCain 35%

will the American Public scratch their heads and say....hmmm where did the 20% go??? and will the reporters and journalists report it as Ron Paul's votes or the purple dinosaur barney?
