Texas Straight Talk: Capital Controls Have No Place in a Free Society (5/29/2012)
May 29th, 2012
In this week's Texas Straight Talk update, Dr. Ron Paul warns the American people of the legislature's attempt to implement strict (and draconian) capital controls. This is just another sign on the road to authoritarian government, which Rep. Paul presciently attempted to warn the citizenry about in last fall's Republican debate at the Reagan Library. How many times does the man have to be proven correct for people to realize that he knows WTF he is talking about? The Ex-PATRIOT Act (S.3205), if not stopped, will become America's Berlin Wall for tax refugees. How far behind do you think physical walls will be? Video compliments of YouTube User: RonPaulcom.

Ron Paul Weekly Update - May 19th thru May 25
May 27th, 2012
Now would be the proper time to ask the question "Where's Ron Paul?" The man hasn't done a single broadcast interview in nearly three weeks! If the campaign hasn't thrown in the towel, this isn't a great way to reassure the supporters. The people continue to donate to the cause, yet the campaign has really failed to build any momentum. We've had weeks to do something to try any knock Mittens off his pedestal. Unfortunately, (barring any secret campaign strategy) it looks as if our people will be asked to play nice at the Romney coronation, in the hopes of laying the groundwork within the GOP for a future liberty candidate. Whether any promises or goodwill in the present will mean anything at all to the party in the future is anyone's guess. Will the campaign have an anti-climactic end, after all these years?

Texas Straight Talk - On Indefinite Detention: The Tyranny Continues (5/21/2012)
May 24th, 2012
In this week's Texas Straight Talk update, Congressman Ron Paul warns his constituents about the ongoing destruction of their liberties, thanks to the NDAA. Back in Washington, Dr. Paul has had more time to keep track of what the legislative branch is currently up to, and things aren't looking good! Despite the many minds changed over the course of the campaign, our elected representatives remain all too willing to sacrifice liberty and Constitutional government in favor of the national security state.

Ron Paul Speaks at Fundraiser for Minnesota Republican Party (5/19/2012)
May 24th, 2012
After the grassroots' impressive takeover of the Minnesota Republican Party at the State Convention on Friday, Congressman Ron Paul generously offered up some of his time to raise funds for a beleaguered state GOP (over $1 million in debt). Dr. Paul's keynote speech was at a breakfast fundraiser for the Minnesota Republican Party, which was held on Saturday morning, prior to the convention reconvening for the second day of proceedings. The introduction to the speech was given by Minnesota Representative, and U.S. Senate candidate Kurt Bills. The breakfast was held in the Terry Haws C Hall at the Convention Center in St. Cloud, MN. The event was sponsored and paid for by the Bills for US Senate campaign. The cost was $20 per person and all the proceeds went to the Republican Party of Minnesota.

Audio from the Texas for Ron Paul Rally and Music Festival (5/19/2012)
May 23rd, 2012
Despite the campaign's disappointing concession of the 2012 Republican nomination, the grassroots continues to foment enthusiastic support for their candidate and their cause. On Saturday in Austin, liberty-lovers from all around came to The Stage on Sixth to be apart of The Texas for Freedom Rally and Musical Festival. The free event was organized in support of the Ron Paul 2012 campaign and the upcoming primary in Texas, and included speeches by special guests and liberty candidates for office in the Lone Star state. Of course, Dr. Paul was not at the event, but the attendance seemed surprisingly low, nonethelss. I know, that with a lineup like that, I would have loved to attend!

May 21st, 2012
After the 2012 Minnesota State Republican convention, Congressman Ron Paul appeared at a reception for US Senate candidate Kurt Bills.

Ron Paul Weekly Update - May 12th thru May 18th
May 19th, 2012
Well, it's been a rough week as the public perception is the campaign is ramping down and closing up shop. On what the rEVOLution should call "Black Monday", the campaign inexplicably released a statement proclaiming an end to formal primary campaigning in favor of the delegate/convention approach that has been quite successful as of late. But make no mistake, Romney and the Republican establishment will likely pull out all the stops to block, dis-empower, and otherwise disenfranchise delegations who are clearly in the Paul camp. There is no evidence as of yet that the Romney people intend to play nice, in hopes of bringing our people into the fold. Instead, they seem to have a systematic program in place at state conventions across the country to cause chaos, blame it on our people, and then make a deal with GOP insiders once the convention falls apart. As a result, it looks as if this announcement was a mere reaction to some bad PR. Let's hope not, becuase if the campaign is scared of bad PR, what can we achieve at a convention? My only concern is that Dr. Paul and the campaign do not have a real plan for their delegates in Tampa.

Ron Paul Speaks to Minnesota State Republican Convention (5/18/2012)
May 18th, 2012
Dr. Ron Paul was a prominent force at the 2012 Minnesota State GOP convention on Friday at the St. Cloud Rivers Edge Convention Center. Around 2000 state delegates gave an enthusiastic welcome to the Congressman, who offered libertarian solutions to the country's problems. As he talked to delegates about his message of limited government, personal liberty and a less aggressive U.S. foreign policy, Paul also struck a chord of bi-partisanship. Paul's support helped propel state Rep. Kurt Bills to winning the endorsement. Audio of the speech courtesy of Minnesota Public Radio.

Ron Paul 2012 - Campaign Related Talk Radio
May 17th, 2012
For the second time in the last week, I'm posting another compelling block of Ron Paul related talk radio for the many listeners who are likely uneasy due to the recent campaign announcement and Dr. Paul's media silence.

Is the Campaign Throwing in the Towel?
May 15th, 2012
Hell no...or at least, not exactly. On Monday morning, Ron Paul sent out an email/press release stating that the campaign will not formally contest any of the 11 remaining primaries before the convention. The campaign will instead utilize its resources at the various Republican state conventions taking place across the country, in an effort to secure the maximum number of delegates possible. This announcement has the Paul community in a frenzy, as the decision has understandably disappointed many supporters and activists who were under the impression that the campaign would fight it out to the end. The media has predictably ran with many headlines inferring that Dr. Paul has ended his bid for the White House, but prominent spokesmen for the campaign (as heard in this file) assure us that the race is anything but over. Make up your own mind after listening. This writer is somewhat distraught over the announcement. We all knew the Congressman lacked the war-chest to compete in huge statewide races; but just a week ago Dr. Paul stated his intention to win as many Congressional districts in Texas and California as possible. Hopefully, those who took the time to register Republican will still show up to vote, but this will surely demotivate some. One hopes this isn't some reflexive reaction to the bad PR from the contentious conventions in Arizona and Oklahoma over the weekend. More coverage will be included in the weekly update on Saturday.

Senator Rand Paul Audio (Spring 2012)
May 15th, 2012
Frustrated with the lack of media appearances by Dr. Ron Paul over the last week or so, I wanted to post some audio involving his son in recent weeks- Sen. Rand Paul. Hopefully, the speeches and interviews will resume in short order. In the meantime, I'll try to put together some other files that have been previously unposted over the course of he campaign. As for the podcast, there's a chance that it will be scaled back significantly at the beginning of June or July. I have been paying for the podcast service one year at a time- and it seems unlikely that there will be much to post (at least in this current format) after November 2012. I have contemplated a Rand Paul 2016 podcast (although many of us aren't nearly as excited about that as we were for Ron Paul 2012). Other options include a broader, liberty-movement podcast or a daily news aggregation podcast- including audio of news and commentary of great importance to our movement. I want to thank those of you who have contributed time-and-time again to fund this operation.

Texas Straight Talk - The Fed: End It or Mend It? (5/14/2012)
May 15th, 2012
In this week's Texas Straight Talk legislative update to his constituents, Dr. Ron Paul talked about the important topics discussed at last week's Monetary Policy subcommittee hearing (full audio here). Ultimately, the need for a Federal Reserve system has been epically overstated by the financial community, proven out by the persistent presence of systemic asset bubbles and severe recessions. Several reforms were proposed and debated by the two panel hearings- a sign that reforming the central bank is an issues of concern across party lines.

Ron Paul Weekly Update - May 5th thru May 11th
May 12th, 2012
We seem to be entering a new phase of the campaign, as Ron Paul has returned to Washington this week, and some campus events have been cancelled. Mittens Romney swept three additional primaries this week, reportedly bringing him to 919 of the 1,144 needed to secure the nomination. It becomes clear to me that Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich probably took yet another one for the team, despite their stated aversion to a Romney nomination. With Dr. Paul, the three likely would have blocked Mittens and forced a brokered convention, which would have been a good thing for legitimate tea party voters. Now, whether they know it or not, Ron Paul and his dedicated delegates are conservatives' only hope! Enjoy coverage of this week's significant delegate victories in Nevada and Maine!

Ron Paul 2012 - Campaign Related Talk Radio
May 11th, 2012
I haven't posted an extended talk radio file in awhile, due to the fact that so much audio is included in the 3+ hour weekly update. Moreover, decent coverage has been difficult to come by since the media moved along after Super-Tuesday. Nevertheless, some clips don't make the cut every week, and the last few weeks has provided some interesting discussion on the Paul campaign and its utilization of the delegate process.

Ron Paul 2012 Campaign Update (5/9/2012)
May 10th, 2012
The campaign released a recorded audio message on Thursday, as Dr. Ron Paul brings his supporters up-to-date on the delegate process and the national media's continued blackout of our cause. Congressman Paul expresses the need to raise at least an additional $650k in the next two weeks, to continue to support the many delegates at the state conventions going on around the country. Luckily, we have a grassroots-organized moneybomb coming up on Thursday May 17th. Donate today at the campaign homepage, or pledge to participate in the Rise for Liberty money bomb. Video compliments of YouTube User: ronpaul.

Rep. Ron Paul on Fox Business’ Cavuto (5/9/2012)
May 9th, 2012
Ron Paul joined Fox Business' Neil Cavuto on Wednesday to talk about his campaign, the Libertarian Party's nomination of Gov. Gary Johnson, and Obama’s support of same-sex marriage. Dr. Paul made the case for voluntaryism in confronting controversial social issues, and for the state to ultimately stay out of the business of defining marriage.

Congressman Ron Paul on CNN Newsroom (5/9/2012)
May 9th, 2012
For the first time in about six weeks, Ron Paul appeared on CNN to talk with Carol Costello about his campaign and the ongoing delegate process. Of course, the anchor was quick to publicize the media's skewed delegate numbers in another effort to discredit our cause. The Congressman then had to answer for the perception that he is a thorn in Mitt Romney's side, and that the campaign's intent isn't to disrupt the Republican National Convention.

On Tuesday, Rep. Ron Paul appeared on CNBC's The Kudlow Report to discuss his views on the Federal Reserve, why he won't endorse Mitt Romney any time soon, and his attempt to gather delegates. I included the preceding segment of the show, where CNBC's Eamon Javers reports on Ron Paul's reluctance to endorse front-runner Mitt Romney, his hunt for delegates and his "abolish the Fed" hearing today on Capitol Hill.

Texas Straight Talk: Enduring Commitments Abroad (5/7/2012)
May 8th, 2012
In this week's Texas Straight Talk message, Dr. Ron Paul notes the obvious lack of progress in Afghan security over the last decade, despite all of our lost blood and treasure. Despite his misleading rhetoric, President Obama intends to stay the course- propping up a corrupt and unpopular regime for at least another decade. The Congressman advises the President to cut our losses, and withdraw now. Video compliments of YouTube User: ALLRonPaul.

Ron Paul Speaks at Tea Party Rally in Austin, TX (5/6/2012)

The Congressman told supporters that "we have infiltrated the Republican Party" in the name of defending liberty. The national Tea Party Express sponsored the event, which also featured senatorial candidate Ted Cruz (audio not included). Senator Rand Paul was also on hand to introduce his dad to the audience.

Ron Paul Speaks at the Nevada State Republican Convention (5/5/2012)
May 5th, 2012
Whipping up his supporters, presidential candidate Ron Paul told Nevada Republicans that the party has a chance to defeat President Barack Obama- but first must restore American confidence. Rep. Paul said people have become disenchanted with Republicans because GOP leaders in Congress have continued to spend too much money and drive up the nation's debt. A deeply divided contingent of more than 1,200 Republicans gathered at a Sparks, Nevada casino on Saturday to elect delegates to the national convention in Tampa. Nevada's GOP old guard continue to pull out all the stops on behalf of the Mitt Romney campaign, although one would get the impression that we are the insurgents with some of the biased media coverage. But the numbers appear to be in the Congressman's favor at this point (although developments remain extremely fluid). The state convention opened at 9 a.m. and could spill into Sunday if the heavily contested effort to elect Nevada delegates to the national convention drags on. Video compliments of YouTube User: pedrick2.

Ron Paul Weekly Update - April 28th thru May 4th
May 5th, 2012
It never ceases to amaze me that this weekly audio update is consistently the most downloaded file on the podcast each week! Good thing, since it takes about as much time to compile and post as the rest of the week combined. Well, we have some great news and coverage to hear this week, as it appears as if Ron Paul has now won the necessary state delegations to appear on the ballot at the Republican National Convention in Tampa! RP2012 activists continue to "take over" (or more accurately, get involved with) Republican conventions across the land- and the formerly skeptical MSM is starting to take notice. In a late development, it seems as if Dr. Paul will make an appearance at the Nevada GOP convention, to encourage his burgeoning delegation there! Meanwhile, the Congressman continues his nationwide "F--k the Man" campus tour, lighting the brushfires and excoriating the long-time policy of America's bi-partisan political class. Dr. Paul is essentially a one-man anti-war movement, teaching history and preaching Just War principles to anyone who will listen. Noone knows exactly what will go down in Tampa this summer, but this campaign continues to remain interesting, despite the lateness of the primary process. Links to the original media sources are included in the file description, included audio can be heard in the order listed below:
