Videos, Dollars and More

We just added a new page listing videos posted by and about some of the top Liberty Congress candidates. With the Ron Paul campaign being such a creature of the internet, it only makes sense for serious candidates to take advantage of the new media to get their message out.

It turns out that the list of candidates running active campaigns correlates highly with the list of candidates posting videos on the web. We took advantage of this situation by posting some donation links on that page. If you visit B. J. Lawson's Campaign Website, you will notice that he has posted an interactive widget much like Ron Paul's that includes a realtime update on donations and names of recent donors. Very nice!

Meanwhile I had the opportunity to talk a little bit about this website on the "Rule of Law" internet radio program. Here is a link to the show archives. I am the featured guest during Hour 1 of the January 11, 2008 show. I hope it's not too boring!

Murray Sabrin Launches Campaign

Link to Murray Sabrin Launches Campaign

Murray Sabrin has announced that he is running for the U.S. Senate. Sabrin has run many times in New Jersey and is well known there for his anti-tax-and-spend stances. Not only is Murray running as a "Ron Paul Republican", but he has also received the rather rare honor of being endorsed by Ron Paul himself! That is based on a 25 year friendship as fellow travelers in the realm of academic study of finance and the economy. In fact, Murray is a Professor of Finance and wrote the book "Tax Free 2000" which gained a fair amount of attention when it was published.

We have added Mr. Sabrin as one of our Liberty Congress All Stars and proudly feature him on our home page. He replaces Jeff Flake who was recently dropped down a notch in grade when several astute readers suggested his views on foreign policy did not quit measure up to our ideals. Still Congressman Flake is a leading light in the battle for limited government and we have no problem recommending that he continue in office.

Meanwhile we have added a dozen other candidates and, as you can see on the new "in progress" page, we have many more on tap. We keep adding moderators and soon I expect they will be up to speed and cranking through the expanding list of politicians who share our vision for Peace, Liberty and Prosperity.

Thank you for your continued support. We are working hard on the site and we think that it is time to start spreading the word about what we are doing. To help make that happen we have made some more banners. Please try to get these posted on popular political websites and, if you have some artistic talent, please take a whirl at making some additional banners as well.

Still More Videos

The Ron Paul movement is internet savvy and so it makes perfect sense for Liberty Congress candidates to concentrate on posting effective websites, creating videos and doing other internet activities that can engage likely supporters and, ultimately, likely voters.

A Liberty Congress member who is helping lead the way in this regards is congressional candidate Theodore Terbolizard of California who has a YouTube Channel that includes plenty of discussion by the candidate about key issues facing our country. We have viewed a few of the videos already and have been favorably impressed. We may very well have to raise Ted's rating on Liberty Congress to Excellent!

Another novel activity is a joint podcast that Ted makes along with another Liberty Congress member, congressional candidate Dean Santoro of Florida. Called Congressional Coast to Coast, Episode 14 was just posted a couple of days ago. These audio only webcasts are also aired from time to time on Ron Paul Radio.

To keep up with the expected influx of video content, we are working to add a new "Video" section to our website. We are doing this as a way to spur our candidates to get busy and start creating the video content that they need to convince voters that they are worthy of support. The big money special interests and Old Media are generally not interested in our freedom message, so we need to spread the word through the internet in order to kickstart Liberty Congress campaigns.

We love to hear that Ron Paul inspired candidates are signing up in bunches. Here is a report about Maryland's new candidates including 6 for the U.S. Congress. This news coverage was quickly topped by this piece on the Washington Post website.

Way to go Maryland!
