“We should never despair, our Situation
before has been unpromising and has changed for the better, so I trust, it will
again. If new difficulties arise, we must only put forth New Exertions and
proportion our Efforts to the exigency of the times.” –GEORGE WASHINGTON
I know there are a lot of you that are disappointed, even
angry, that we were unable to secure the nomination for Dr. Paul. I, myself,
have been deeply disturbed by the RNC’s actions against us and have been kicked
in the gut time and time again. There are moments I feel hopelessness overtake
me and I start to believe that we will never restore freedom to this great
nation of ours. This hopelessness reminds me of what Washington and his troops must
have felt on the Delaware. His men were tired and badly wounded. Many of them
had to suitor their own wounds with threads from their tattered uniforms. They
had been through fight after fight with the Hessians and the British Red Coats
and were freezing to death in the December winter. As they looked over the river, they could see
that it was coated with a 2-inch sheet of ice. They would have to chisel their
way through. One can only imagine the hopelessness that our forefathers were
feeling at that moment. But Washington and his men knew what was at stake, and
knew the potential of having a free society. And through courage they pounded
the ice, inched there way across the river, fought valiantly and won their
freedom…
Nobody told you this movement would be easy. We have seen
what we are up against. There was no dissenting voice at the RNC. We have seen
how both the GOP and the Democrats refuse to play by the rules in which were
defined for them to govern under. They set the rules, rig the games, cheat the
voters and grow in power. The cycle between the Democrats and Republicans seems
unbreakable and it looks like we’ve just given ourselves two more poor choices
for President and another four years of tyranny. It is easy for many of you to
feel discouraged and decide to abandon politics all together. I urge you to
stay. It is now, more than ever, we need you. The establishment likes to claim that
the cost of Freedom is blood. This is what we’ve been told to justify our wars.
The true cost of Freedom is courage (blood is sometimes a by-product).
In Liberty,
Jake
