REASON Mentions Me and Ron Paul Radio, on $6 million Night

Posted on Dec 17th, 2008 by Charles : YogiLibertarian Charles

Yours truly got a mention in Reason Magazine's blog on Sunday's Tea Party for Ron Paul's record-setting fundraising. While associate editor David Weigel had to cover some of the more entertaining conspiratorialists from the Washington, D.C. celebration, he overall writes an exciting summary of what was an inspirational night. I was there broadcasting on behalf of Ron Paul Radio, and fans can catch me 5 pm every Thursday. Here I am on YouTube, interviewing D.C. region Meetup coordinator Bob Moody, discussing the Tea Party reenactment.

Ron Paul's 6 1/2 million haul broke Senator Kerry's 5 1/2 million record. The Mainstream Media continues to ignore Candidate Paul as much as possible, since his free market/constitutional platform would repeal all the barriers the oligopolists have spent decades erecting.

For someone like me who's worked for 18 years in D.C., it was heartening to see a new generation of activists, trying to save the world from the horrible Statism infecting the world. I don't expect much, but this Paul Campaign has got me fired up.

Only regret at the Tea Party was my failure to up my bid for the Ron Paul silver dollar. Owning that would have been very cool. Great job Meetup organizers Bret, Bob, Kevin, Steve, Laura, et. al.! What creativity, to reenact the 1773 Boston Tea Party, by dumping card board boxes onto the barroom floor, disguised as hated bureaucracies. Brilliant.
