Good Times

It's been a little while since I've posted, and that's because instead of sitting on my butt in my house writing about things I really believe in to an audience of maybe 2 or 3 people, I've decided to get out and do something about it. A while back I joined a Ron Paul Meetup Group so I could get walk the walk instead of just talk the talk but just haven't gone out for one reason or another. Well a couple weeks ago I went to my first Meetup - to voice my concerns about the NDAA 2012.

Last week I went to the Mormon Tabernacle Choir Performance at the US Airways Center to hand out brochures about Ron Paul in hopes that the attendees would learn a little bit about him (from something other than Fox News sound bites) before defaulting to Romney. I saw a few friends who I think were surprised to see me handing out the literature, but I think their eyes were opened. :) It was fun! I hope they went home and looked him up on youtube and fell in love with his message of freedom because it's what they have believed in all their lives but just never had a candidate that represented that viewpoint. Last night, a bunch of us went to the Mitt Romney rally at the Mesa Amphitheater to show our support for Ron Paul peacefully and positively. We got a lot of love from people driving by, and again I ran into a bunch of people I knew who hopefully say, "Woah wait, Savanna supports him enough to come and wave signs? She's not a pot-smoking, radical liberal! Maybe there is something that the media isn't telling us about him. I think I'll look him up at ronpaul2012.com or on youtube!" Maybe they would have seen that other Latter-day Saints, conservatives, and people that aren't just young, naive followers also support Ron Paul. Even if they didn't, we had a blast trying to convince them.

I don't really expect for Ron Paul to win the AZ Primary come February 28th. We didn't get the word out soon enough and wide enough. We're probably not ready for a Ron Paul, though it would do us some good. But please, look into his message. The more we strive for freedom, liberty, and respect, the better off we will be. If you like what you learn, please spread the message. Show your support by voting for him so other people will take notice and look him up. He's not the only candidate that talks about following the Constitution anymore, but he is the only candidate that really does and has a record to prove it.
