Ron Paul supporters are, without doubt, some of the most enthusiastic and self-motivated people on the planet! His campaign has been taking off, as Dr. Paul is fond of saying, "because of the message".
Why is it then that, from time to time, I run into supporters who feel as though there is not much they can do to support the campaign, or that a bad outcome is already a foregone conclusion?
There is a very old story about a wise pesant who bargained with a wealthy king for payment for his services. "O King," he said, "All that I require is one grain of wheat for my first day of work, two for the second day, and so on - just double the number of grains per day for each square of a chess board."
What a bargain, thought the king! However, the king was surprised to discover that the final payment would amount to the entire wheat crop of the entire world for 70 years, assuming every acre of land surface were cultivated!
And so, are you a Ron Paul supporter? Do you know anyone that you can tell about Dr. Paul? Perhaps in an email, perhaps on the phone, it doesn't matter - all we ask is one per week. Remember, you don't have to sell Dr. Paul - it is the message of Liberty that will do the work! We all are part of the "poor, tired, huddled masses, longing to be free."
And, if you - and I - and every Ron Paul supporter would do that - just, on average, bring ONE Dr. Paul supporter into the fold every week by using our influence - let's look at the numbers:
Assume (VERY conservatively) a present core of 50 thousand supporters today, October 19th, 2007. Next week we'll be 100 thousand. A week later 200 thousand.... before the end of December, we will be 50 million strong, rolling into next year with an irresistible force for true freedom, liberty, and justice for all!
