"Canada Votes Ron Paul!" Obviously, Canada can't vote for Ron Paul. Neither can its citizens. But many of them would if only they had the chance.
That's why so many Canadians are getting involved in the U.S. election... to help ensure Ron Paul becomes the What follows is a call to action written by John C. A. Manley, a resident of Ontario, Canada. More Canadians speak out for Ron Paul below. Canadians are able to be more objective about the U.S. election than we can. And if they think Ron Paul is the best candidate, shouldn't we consider him as well? "America's Last Hope..."by John C. A. Manley As much as I have tried in the past to not be apathetic about politics (both national and international) it tends to happen to me. I think it's sort of a self-defense mechanism. There is such corruption, greed and unforgivable behavior going on amongst many of the world's governments. I'm not pointing any fingers at any particular nation, party, leader, etc. I didn't even vote in the last Canadian election because I simply didn't want any of them in office. I didn't think any of them were offering much change. It seemed like I would be doing my country a better favor by staying home with my family. But Canada is in trouble. The United States is in even more trouble. The Auditor General for the States predicts that the country will be bankrupt in 15 years (and that prediction was made 8 years ago). You can keep on printing money... but the rest of the world bases value on gold and silver, not paper. Most of my income comes from the States. A year or so ago I would go to the bank with a $7,500 USD check and it would become a $10,000 CAD deposit (after transfer fees). Now, I come to the bank with a $7,500 USD check and it turns into a $6,900 check. One of the reasons I see this happening... I slowly see our free market society creeping into a socialist mentality. I see people making six-figure incomes having to pay 40-50% of that to the government in taxes, while people making $20K a year owe nothing and instead receive money from the government. As Dan Kennedy said in his No B.S. Marketing newsletter...
I've been on all sides of the fence in my short life, with the government. Receiving a mere $425 a month (barely covered rent) when I fell very sick and had to go on welfare for two months... to sending them checks that represented nearly half of my year's labor. Either side is grim. Michael Moore recently praised Canada's government funded health care system in his movie SICKO. I don't know what he was talking about. The system is falling to pieces. It sounds good in theory, and works well for emergencies... but when people know they've got health coverage, they are far less willing to prevent sickness. And how does the U.S. government expect to pay for its rising health care costs with the massive wave of aging Baby Boomers? Especially when the President is spending trillions on a "preventive" war that goes against the country's Constitution? Right now the U.S. is borrowing millions from China and Japan. But they will only lend so much before they want to collect. I wonder what Congress is using as collateral? Anyway, the point of my email is to bring your attention to a Republican congressman who ran for president in 2008 and is running again in 2012. Even though he is a Republican, he has voted against most of his party's decisions. His name is Dr. Ron Paul. He spent most his life being an OB/GYN delivering thousands of a babies. He has been married to the same woman for 30+ years. He sends back part of his "salary" to the U.S. treasury. He votes consistently and with integrity on issues. He has received more money than any other candidate from military officers. He has the largest self-propelled Internet campaign in the history of politics. He has ended my apathy about politics. I'm supporting him, as well as using my various email lists to promote him. I do this at risk of annoying, offending and repelling subscribers who would purchase items from me in the future. I may very well lose money from this message. I don't care. More important things are at stake. In short, Ron Paul's campaign focuses around...
As an entrepreneur I strongly resonate with what Ron Paul is saying. If you have been working as a copywriter for long, you know that earning money isn't a matter of luck (95% of the time). You know that those receiving six- or seven-figure incomes worked very hard and earned every penny (95% of the time). You also know they should be able to decide what they want to do with that money. The government shouldn't be taking ownership of their lives. Money is earned by sacrificing your life in the form of time. Some people proclaim they we must have a welfare state in order to survive. What about poor and disabled people? Well, the welfare state can't sustain itself, first. Secondly, there were a lot less poor people when we lived in a true free market society. At least, as far as I can tell from the history books and listening to my grandparents. I also know that when people are able to keep more of their money, and aren't forced to struggle to meet bills, etc., they are much more generous. Seems like there used to be a lot more charitable organizations many years ago. The hospital where my son was born is lined with black and white photographs from when the nuns of St. Joseph were managing the place. Would the type of America Ron Paul proposes be free of problems? No. That's reality. But I think it would have a lot fewer problems than it faces now. And it would certainly have none of the problems that are looming on the horizon. Here is a short CNN video about Ron Paul, I'd appreciate it if you would watch it... ==> Click Here to Watch Ron Paul Video And here is his website where you can see more videos, radio ads, and read (in plain English) about his platform... ==> Ron Paul's 2012 Campaign Site If you're from outside of the United States, I'd encourage you to consider supporting his campaign however you can. Canadian naturalist and writer, Farley Mowat, once said, "South America is the U.S.'s field slaves, and Canada is its house slaves." Interpret that as you will. But if we can get a man of integrity like Dr. Ron Paul as President of the United States it will set an example that will spread all over the world. And, if you are American, I simply ask that you look into Ron Paul and consider electing him President of your country. I think he is your last hope. Sincerely,
John C. A. Manley P.S. "We have allowed our nation to be over-taxed, over-regulated, and over run by bureaucrats. The founding fathers would be ashamed of us for what we are putting up with." -Ron Paul P.P.S. The Canadian Press recently ran an article quoting both me and other Canadians about Ron Paul. About halfway through the article, they say, "Paul's even winning fans north of the border, where some have warmed to his anti-war message, in particular." Here's the link to read the rest: Libertarian Ron Paul a hit with young voters due to drug, anti-war stances Editor's NoteIf you'd like to learn more about Ron Paul or support him financially, go to Ron Paul's campaign site. For the latest news stories, go to Digg and search for "Ron Paul." If you are a registered Republican, become a delegate or vote in the primaries on a State level. This is the only way Ron Paul can win the Republican nomination. Here's a recent interview with Ron Paul: "Ron Paul on Fox News America Live 12/15/2011" Watch more Ron Paul videos here... and spread the news! More Canadians Speak Out for Ron Paul...Want to make your voice heard? Add your comment using the Facebook comment app below. Make sure to publish it to your Facebook profile! CMON AMERICA!!! VOTE FOR THIS MAN!!!!! I hope he changes the face of politics, America and the world. Ron Paul, Ron Paul, Ron Paul! -Damien L., Vancouver BC Please, people it is NOT ENOUGH to simply preach to the choir in this website, we need to make more and more people aware of the media "blackout" about Ron Paul even here in Canada! Just check the french version of the CBC radio (radiocanada.ca), they are HEAVILY biased towards ignoring Ron Paul in most of their articles. Even their "tag cloud" omits Ron Paul but has "Mitt Romney" & "Gingrich"! That's very sickening and the only way we can fight for freedom is... To just post polite comments on these websites so that people will start asking questions about such "irregularities" and lack of impartial coverage of Ron Paul from the media. That way, other people who didn't notice it will start to awaken to the ugly truth : banking/military/industrial interests seems to controls the mainstream media. -Nhu Pho Thai, Canada Hi I'm not Canadian, I'm posting from England. Why would any right-thinking American want to vote in a president who wants to go to war against a country that is thousands of miles away, which poses absolutely no threat. All the other candidates are warmongers. They will continue to give away BILLIONS of your hard-earned tax dollars to Israel, a wealthy nuclear armed country whilst American citizens queue up at the soup kitchens for the homeless. These wars in the Middle East are only being fought for the benefit of Israel, and Ron Paul has identified this and made it public. This is why the mainstream zionist media has largely kept him off their front pages and off their talk shows. They are scared of him because he wants peace. Israel can't survive with peace; they have to be at war to justify their occupation of land stolen from the Palestinians. The other candidates want the sons of America to fight a war with Iran on behalf of Israel. The death tolls will be immense and beyond all measure as the Iranians will be more than able to defend themselves against any invading forces. Iran wants peace for their children, too. They make the same sacrifices to raise their children as do the American people. Their children are not disposable. Dr Ron Paul is a genuine man of faith and integrity. I know you Americans have little or no experience of a politician with these high values but you have to elect him as your President. He will ensure that the USA becomes a fair and just country which will work to the benefit of its citizens rather than for the benefit of a foreign state such as Israel. All the other candidates love Israel more than they love the USA and will do anything to please Israel and their Zionist masters including allowing the deaths of thousands of your sons by engaging in false wars for Israel. You can always trust a Doctor, trust Dr Ron Paul. From the those of us who love peace in England UK, -Shaks, United Kingdom I never took an interest in politics in my own country Canada. It is basically the same thing happening as the US only a different format. Somehow I heard Ron Paul speak in 2007 and I started following him. I asked people if they had ever heard of him and encouraged them to listen to his words. When I travelled to the US I would do the same. Ron Paul has inspired me and has given me hope. There is a person out there worth voting for that represents change! I hope American people will wake up and see the jewel they have to represent their country. -T. Ross, London, Ontario Good Morning I have mostly considered myself apolitical. Listening to politicians speak their "sound bites" jump on any convenient "band wagon" change their position as the winds change and outright lie from one day to the next made me tune out. In 2007 I stumbled across Ron Paul. Over time researching this incredible man, I realized I had found a politician who had something to say, stuck by his principals and never "sold out" what he believed, in any circumstance. Yes I am a Canadian, I am 60 years old and I believe that honor and integrity are rare and valued commodities no matter where I find them. I don't want to preach to the choir of Ron Paul supporters, I would like to speak to the majority of US voters and ask them to open their minds and eyes to what is happening in their great country. "Your economy is in shambles, the value of your dollar is shrinking every day, special interest groups control your food, your energy and your health care. The path you have been led down is not sustainable." There is one man and only one man who can turn the ship around. Will it be easy or painless... NO, but it can be done. Ron Paul is your best, maybe last chance, don't miss it. Educate yourself about this man, he speaks the truth calmly and bluntly, never strays from his beliefs and principals and he MAKES SENSE. The US needs Ron Paul as President and Canada and the rest of the world needs a strong US to help pull us back from the brink of the disasters we are facing. -Gordon Harris, Nova Scotia, Canada I'm a Canadian supporting Ron Paul. He is my modern day hero. He convinced me that sincere, honest politicians do/can exist. He helped open my eyes to the reality of government and politics. I genuinely hope that he and his message prevail, and that we Canadians and others around the world can learn from this message. Best of luck Ron Paul 2012. -Steven, St. John's, Newfoundland My name is Thomas Lavoie, I am a 23-year-old Canadian living in Quebec. I am in love with Ron Paul's conservatism, Constitutionalism and libertarianism. I am hooked on the ideas of: peace, non-intervention, lower spending, smaller government, that he's against the PATRIOT Act, that he would close all U.S. military bases around the world and bring home all U.S. military personnel, that he is for the right to keep and bear arms, personal liberties, he'd close down the Federal Reserve, the Food and Drug Administration (Quality organic raw milk anyone?), the Central Intelligence Agency, the Internal Revenue Service, and my favorite of all, that the government would stop manipulating the market causing enormous financial meltdowns and bubbles. Ron Paul's understanding of the Austrian School of economics is impressive! If Ron Paul is elected as President, I'll be moving to the United States of America. Canada would no longer be for me. -Thomas Lavoie, Quebec, Canada I'm 35 and I have a Hero... In 2008 when the markets started to crash I found myself wondering what was the cause of all of this. I was finishing a Master's Degree in Economics at the time. How was it that the discipline I had spent so much time and effort on had failed to predict such a crash. Weren't the all knowing economists supposed to see these things coming and protect us from them, wasn't I with an advanced understanding of Keynes? I turned to Google for answers and one name kept coming up, Ron Paul. He had been in the Republican Presidential Debates and he was the only candidate offering answers for why we were at where we're at. I started reading his books, first The Revolution: A Manifesto, then End the Fed. They contain reading lists that pointed me to other free market (Austrian) economists Murray M. Rothbard, Milton Friedman, Thomas Sowell, F. von Hayek, and Ludwig Von Mises and several more. They opened my eyes to farce that is government. How programs that are supposed to make us safe do nothing more than prop up corporate interests and deny competition (Supply Management, Health Inspectors). How government ruins almost everything they get their hands on making costs rise and value decline (Education and Health Care). And most importantly that it gets its power to do these things by controlling the issue of our currency through central banks. All around me I have started to see the folly of government programs and how its promises will eventually fail. Governments need to do little more than provide a system of laws where everyone is equal and a national defense, THAT'S IT!. Now you can say I just want to make Canada into America, but where did the founding fathers get their ideas? The United States of America was their vision of their rights since they were born as FREE BRITISH CITIZENS. -D.J., Saskatchewan, Canada Great article, I've just recently started up a blog and I'm currently working on an article on Libertarianism. I think we are just seeing the beginning of this, I haven't been this excited about politics in a while.To use Ron Paul's words... an idea who's time has come can be stopped by no government or army! Keep up the great work. -Jeff Paul Clarke My name is Mike. I am a pharmacist in Canada's British Columbia. I recently awoke from my zombie trance and realized the what is really going on in the world. I became so passionate about all the evil that we are allowing to happen that I want to tell everyone. Problem is that everyone is still stuck in wonderland or worse yet, they don't care. I am horrified at the future I am seeing and I think revolution is near. A world revolution that will send the shadow government and its minions straight to hell. We are the people, we have numbers on our side, but more importantly we have God. The world needs Ron Paul more than ever, but Ron Paul also can't do this enormous task alone. People, please take a stand in your community, wake up the masses and pray that it's not too late to stop the tyranny. -Mike K., Sparwood, BC We, immigrants like me, also support Ron Paul. I am an immigrant from China. Like me, many Chinese immigrants feel frustrated when we discover that Canada is a social warefare country. Many people don't need to work, just collect money from government, actually from other taxpayers. Plus, the government subsidizes corporations and other ridiculous subsidies. Unions are also ugly. Sooner or later, maybe sooner, the country will go for broke. I just find out Ontario debt is already 9 times that of California per capita (20k vs 2.3k). -Steven Zhong As so many Canadians I strongly support Ron Paul for President. You will be surprised to know that so many have heard about him. People at work talk about Ron Paul, students have gatherings and talk about his views incuding discussion with their teachers at school. His message has reached Poland where you can find his name added to a voting ballot as a hand written note of support of his cause. There is a desperate need for true liberty, humanity and freedom to name a few and this is why people love Ron Paul. The need to change the system is WORLD WIDE and what happens in US has a huge impact on all the nations of this world. I'm suporter of Ron Paul and since I can't vote for him that does not stop me from spreading his message. Ps. Please look at the electronic voting machines as it is another control of the establishment and possible way of manipulating the votes. -Thomas from Toronto I'm a retired, self-employed Canadian. I only discovered The Truth Movement in March/2011 (I was too insulated prior to this). I had always felt skeptical, but had never imagined the totality of the OWNERS control until I watched The Money Masters and a few 9/11 videos. My UNIVERSE crumbled! It felt like a 3-week LSD trip! (I'm now recovered!) I'm unable to imagine the inner strength of Ron Paul - having KNOWN all this for years and still control his rage! Civil at all times, his focused determination and unwavering principles have been the key to his coming this far. Ron Paul has been fighting the greatest war of all human civilizations: The fight to REGAIN OUR LIBERTY! I salute you, Dr. Ron Paul! Thank you. -Dave P. I'm a Canadian supporter of Ron Paul. My background is in journalism and I was recently in Washington, DC completing two internships on the left and "right" of the American political spectrum. Watching the way the truth is obscured under layers of misdirection and special interest eventually led me to Ron Paul once I was back in Canada. After careful research I realized increasingly he was telling the truth about the rotten core of the private Federal Reserve and the welfare/warfare state that traps people in its false left/right paradigm. People who don't understand Ron Paul's ideas or the history behind them see him as kooky or odd, however once you understand the roots of what he's talking about his message is incredibly powerful and meaningful! Tomorrow I will be going with another Canadian friend to hold a Ron Paul sign off a bridge nearby. The Ron Paul R3volution is worldwide! PS follow me on Twitter @PaulSwashbuckl -Paul B., Ontario Rock solid politics, a message of hope for the world. If you all won't elect him, send him up here, cause we sure will! -Bill D., Imperial, Saskatchewan, Canada
"As a former-apathetic citizen from Canada, we have seen too much of the same old, same old in our government. Fortunately for us, whomever we vote in hasn't managed to do so much damage as to jolt us from our disinterest. I only wish that it was the same situation in the States. "The dysfunctional economic system, aggressive (and ridiculously wasteful) international policy, and erosion of liberties greatly distress me. As our closest neighbor, whatever happens down south has profound consequences for us as well. "Ron Paul is the only candidate *ever* to have managed NOT to set off my cynicism and bullshit alarms. Dr. Paul is the only candidate (Dem and Rep) that gives me hope for the future of the United States. "Unfortunately, the media is not giving Dr. Paul a fair shake to spread his message. I used to laugh at the phrase 'stupid Americans.' I am starting to be convinced that it's not so much the people, but the bullshit they are fed on TV. "The dollar is pretty much at 1:1. Think I can trade my Canadian vote for an American one?" -Ricky C., formerly of Toronto, Ontario, Canada "I too, like many of you, have become a Ron Paul supporter during these elections. As a Canadian, this is the first time in my 30 years, of ever having great interest in the U.S. elections. If I could I would send Ron one of my pay checks to show my support, but I can't as a Canadian citizen. The only thing I can do, to show my support, is spread the word, get as many Americans that I can and know to check him out. Find out what this man believes in and figure it out for themselves. "This man in my personal opinion is the best thing to come a long in the U.S. since JFK. I only wish I new about him and cared (when I was 11 years old) during the 1988 elections. "I can only hope and pray that this man somehow becomes the U.S. President in 2008 and gets America and the corrupt governments of North America back on track. "If you ever read this Dr. Paul, my vote would be for you, and please remember Canada supports you, we are watching." -Chris Goudeseune, Ontario, Canada "I actually tried to donate to the Ron Paul campaign, but discovered only U.S. citizens can donate. That is probably as it should be--you don't want foreigners influencing your election. (Sadly, you already have foreigners driving domestic policy: e.g. the Patriot Act, Homeland Security, etc.) "But another truth is that the Canadian economy and Canadian politics are intimately linked with those of the U.S., so whether you like it or not, I, as a Canadian, am a stakeholder in the outcome of your elections. Therefore, with respect and apologies for any perceived interference, allow me to suggest: If you live in America, please donate to Ron Paul and show your support for freedom." -Dr. Brian McLean, Ontario, Canada "My name is Greg Hill. I am a 22-year-old Canadian who has become impassioned by Dr. Ron Paul and his supporters. "Paulites MUST re-evaluate how we spend our time supporting RP by limiting our time in 'preaching to the choir' (i.e. people who already support RP) and look at promoting our leader in ALL RANDOM MESSAGE BOARDS across the Internet. From sports and cartoons to chefs and fashionistas, we can impact new listeners with the RP message of Freedom, Peace, and Prosperity. "Peaceful activism, listening skills, duty, courage, leadership, intelligence, charisma, and influence exist INSIDE US ALL!" -Greg Hill, British Columbia, Canada "If I were American, I'd definitely be voting for Ron Paul as well. I've watched most of the videos posted on his website. I love listening to his ideas. I think he would make an excellent President. "I wish we had a similar libertarian movement in Canada. We could definitely use it!" -Michael Roach, Alberta, Canada "I agree with Michael. I wish we had our own Ron Paul up here in Canada. Maybe America will be a beacon to the world again in 2008?" -Curt (no location provided) "Hello, My American Big Brothers (and Sisters) "I'm a Canadian who really cares about what's really (I mean, REALLY) going on in the U.S. Lately, I've been exposed to Ron Paul and his ideas, and I like what I hear from him. I normally am more aligned with the Deomocratic candidates, but from my research, I like Ron Paul better. "Check out Mark Joyner's blog, too. He recenty created a post about how the media doesn't even pay Ron the attention he deserves." -DK Fynn, British Columbia, Canada Starting last night I became another Canadian Ron Paul fan. I became a fan because last Saturday the guy I buy my delicious and healthy raw milk from handed me a dvd called "For Liberty - How The Ron Paul RƎvo˩ution Watered The Withered Tree of Liberty" and with great enthusiasm and the biggest smile the milkman said "watch this". I knew a touch about Ron Paul because during the last elections, Dr. Mercola, an american health activist in the states with the number one alternative health site on the web, encouraged his American readers to vote for Ron. Watched the video last night and I am now just as enthused as the milkman. His message is so clear and simple with zero political manipulations. It resonates with me because I've written a book and started an organization called "Healthyism: Healthy I, Healthy World! The Ǝvo˩utionary Practice of Constructive Consciousness". This project is not about making money (free on Google Books) although would help the mission. Its "soul" purpose is to help humanity to stop being destructive to self, others and the world. There are clusters of people and organizations around the world doing the same, promoting sensibility and constructiveness, and as a group we are destined to get there. Ron Paul's message/platform and supporters are part of that cluster, albeit a large one, and will help propel, evolve, humanity to the next level. It's time. Thank you to Ron Paul, your team and supporters for all that you do. -Gary Drisdelle Canadians for Ron Paul, Thank you Ron Paul as a leader in the world for peace and reconstruction of the planet's ecology and human 'economy' (Greek = 'care and nurture of the home and family). We need this kind of leadership in Canada where all political parties have been deficient in their research and inquiry into both sides of the situation in Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia etc. etc. In order to overcome militarism, both left and right have to quit demonizing our perceived enemies or opponents by: 1. Engaging others in formal equal time recorded dialogue. 2. Media publishes the dialogues and thus engage all stakeholders in the analysis. 3. Published dialogue is more powerful than war and armament for engaging human strengths in livelihood generation. 4. The way out of the elite media and war manipulation of our world is to dialogue with our fellows and families wherever we are. 5. When we publish these audio, video, print dialogues among our own circles of influence, then we take our 'attention' and 'mind' away from the influence of the military industrial media complex. -Douglas Jack, LaSalle-Montreal, Quebec thanks for your support of ron paul.... i too am praying for him to be heard...and to win! -iris from quebec
Are you a Canadian? Would you like to make yourself heard?
