Financial Community Supports Ron Paul
November 20, 2008 - 9:42 am

NEW FUND RAISER COMING UP http://teaparty07.com wont you help us make history!! Have you noticed? Ron Paul is picking up a LOT of support within the financial community. So far, these are the names of very prominent investment advisers who have announced their support for Ron Paul: Axel Merk (Merk Hard Currency Fund), Harry Schultz (Harry Schultz Letter), Jim Rogers, (Jim Rogers.com), Richard Russell (Dow Theory Letters), and Peter Schiff (Euro Pacific Capital). Not to mention the Chicago pit traders who were cheering for Ron Paul when he went head to head with Bernanke! Also, I was down at a local silver / gold shop in Boston the other day and I handed the guy behind the counter a bill stamped with Ron Paul 2008 on it. Of course he knew about Ron Paul because of his honest money stance, and was a big supporter. Below are some brief excerpts and links to their full statements, where available. If you know of any others that I've missed - please post them in the comments section. I'd like to put together a very comprehensive list. Axel Merk - 4/27/2007 Merk Hard Currency Fund It is not our role to endorse a presidential candidate, especially not this early in the process. We don't agree with all of his views, but highly respect his no-nonsense approach to fiscal and monetary policy issues. We encourage everyone to familiarize themselves with the fiscal views of Congressman Ron Paul. He is living proof that it is possible to be a fiscally conservative politician with integrity. See here for full statement - - - - Harry Schultz: HSL 662, 30 September 2007, page 6: Ron Paul (for US presideing) is obviously the only election chance for upgrading the US govt. All others are just reruns of wrong principles & policies. If U want to help the cause of freedom with $'s go to: https://www.ronpaul2008.com/donate. (No public version available) - - - - Jim Rogers: October 29, 2007 "[Ron Paul] is the only one I've seen in American politics that seems to have a clue with what's going on in the world..." Read more here. Watch the interview at Financial Times here - - - - Richard Russell: Russell's Remarks, November 6, 2007 The current issue of Time magazine surprised me. The issue had a two page report on libertarian, Dr. Ron Paul, the Texas Congressman, who is running for President. Ron believes in the US Constitution. Ron would like to shut down the Federal Reserve and go back to the gold standard. I gather Ron would end the war in Iraq -- further, he would close down all our 120 military bases that are spread across the face of the globe. Ron would legalize narcotics and thereby end our expensive and idiotic "war on drugs." I guess, to make it short, Ron would pretty much get the government out of our hair, and return it to its original Constitutional form. I'm all for that. Furthermore, I'd mandate that every US Congressman and Senator be fully conversant with the US Constitution. I'd mandate that each and every one of them take an intensive course in Constitutional law. What they'd learn would probably shock them, but they'd get over it. I'll vote for Ron Paul in the coming election. He's not going to win, but I just can't see myself voting for one of the other candidates. "Why are they running?" I ask. "Do they stand for anything different? Do they question where this nation is heading? Do they ask how this nation is going to continue living on borrowed money? Do they ask why the Federal Reserve was never subject to a Constitutional Amendment?" Read the entire excerpt here - - - - Peter Schiff endorses Ron Paul: November 7, 2007 I recently had the pleasure of personally handing the Honorable Ron Paul (the only member of Congress truly worthy of that title) a $2,300 check (the legal maximum) as my contribution toward his presidential campaign. I have never given one dime to a politician (though Congressman Paul is more of a statesman than a politician) in my life, and you know what; it felt great. It was the best $2,300 I ever spent. The purpose of this email is to urge every single one of my clients, every subscriber to my newsletter, and every one in my database, to make a similar contribution. Doug Casey On November 9th, 2007 Slatterypod says: Doug Casey has voiced his support for Ron Paul, not only for his economic sense, but for his approach to foreign and domestic policy as well. http://slatterypod.com/blog/index.php/2007/10/27/doug-casey/ James Grant of Grant's Interest Rate Observer! http://www.grantspub.com/ http://dailypaul.com/node/6092 Listen to part of an interview here on YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9UuivYdiS5w

Do You Want to Help Build an Open Source Community Project?
November 20, 2008 - 9:42 am

For the community of community owners, operators, moderators, and members: we need better options, and I believe we need them to exist on open platforms. We all have different tastes and we all use different tools, but I think we all can accept that community software should help us grow and flourish.

Moroccan Community celebrates Obama win along with America
November 20, 2008 - 9:42 am

Frenzied celebration broke out throughout the country, following the historic win by Barak Obama, the first African American President of the country. in one swoop, America became the country where everything is possible, an example to the world and it made possible a chance to repair the damage done by President Bush two terms in office. Barak Obama and the wave of victorious democrats candidates that won will try to revise, correct or repeal some of the most egregious laws that have been passed under the Bush Administration and Republican Congress, such as Patriot Act and others. The New administration will hopefully usher in a new, and warmer relations with Morocco, Africa and the rest of the third world...
