234 years ago an irate band of rebels protested the tyranny of a distant government by dumping tons of tea in Boston Harbor. Today an equally irate group of concerned citizens protested the increasingly tyrannical Federal Government by marching on Faneuil Hall to reignite brushfires of freedom in the minds of men. Among the speakers was Rand Paul, Dr Paul's son.
It was the highlight of my short citizenship that I had the chance to speak at Faneuil Hall, the birthplace of our Constitution, on a stage where Washington once presided over its drafting.
On the same day, citizens across our vast Republic came together to make the largest single-day political donation in American history, donating over 6 million dollars in 24 hours to Ron Paul's campaign.
Today the principles on which our Republic was founded are lost; but, clearly, they are not forgotten.

Donating their allowance to the glorious cause of freedom
One of the most humbling experiences I've had since arriving in New Hampshire occurred a few days ago when I learnt that two young citizens asked their mother to drive them to my house to donate their allowance to Operation Live Free or Die. When I see that children this young care about their freedom so much that they would forgo the typical things that children desire, I know that there is still a lot of hope for our Republic.
I was not home to accept the donation, so Trevor Lyman, the man behind November 5th and the Ron Paul Blimp accepted it in my stead.
In the long history of the world, only a few generations have been granted the role of defending freedom in its hour of maximum danger. We should not shrink from this responsibility, we should welcome it.

New Year's Resolution for 2008
This is a big petition we're organizing for the New Year:
Obey The Constitution
Please spread the word. We'd like everyone to print the petition, sign it, and mail it to Congress. We'd also like to ask that each of you try to get five other people to sign the petition. It isn't associated with any candidate, and I think it's something almost all Americans should be happy to get behind.
Imagine the surprise of Congress when we deliver thousands of pounds of mail on the steps of Congress.
We're going to invite any Congressman with a record of defending the Constitution to accept the petition and put it on the Congressional record. I can only think of one man who qualifies for this role...

New volunteers, fresh off the plane
Ok just a few short words then ill get to the pictures because I know thats all you guys are interested in anyway. We had a huge canvassing event last weekend in Rochester and afterwards we met up in Portsmouth for a little gathering, where there were a few reporters, and a great speech! so thanks to scott and charlotte for hosting that!
We have had a lot of new volunteers come in this week, we have rented several more houses, so i wont be able to be everywhere to keep you up with the latest but i will do what i can and I will keep you updated with at least one of the houses goings on...
i can't think of anything else so ill just caption the pics...
New volunteers, fresh off the plane, ready and excited to work
give em a week ;) (sorry this pic was too funny to resist that caption)
I feel like I should just move into the airport I'm here so much :)
I wonder if Ron will make it legal to ride on the baggage carousel??
wouldn't it be cool to make this into a ron paul airmobile??? and pick up the OLFD members from all over and fly them here???? how about Operation: FLY FOR FREEDOM!
(go ahead and laugh but have you seen the blimp yet?)
The advantages of business canvassing: we met jeremy (pictured below) working at a gas station, and he now LOVES ron paul! he gets rid of bunches of materials for us, converts people left and right, and is going to the tea party with us too!!!
Meet the Staffrents.... andy and norman two of our hardworking campaign staffers ready to help us out... these guys are awesome we go in with an empty car we come out with slim jims, signs, stickers, tee shirts, YOU NAME IT! and they fed us too!
They could run out of signs at any moment so you better get up there and grab em before they are gone :) GET THESE BABIES ON THE HIGHWAYS!!!
a view of the phone banking room (they need help guys!!)
ok thats all for now, ill post more later!!
