Paul is only one who cares about people

Big business and the mass media want this country to remain with the “status quo.”

Quite frankly they are all afraid of the changes this country needs to make in order to survive. We were once a great nation. Now we are a service industry country, with the “haves and have mores” (from President Bush's infamous speech to “my base group”) running the mass media and telling us not only what to buy, but who to vote for.

Clinton, Obama, McCain, they are all the same. The only candidate who states what needs to change and how he would go about it is Ron Paul. Who is he? Ron Paul is the man that the mass media didn't really cover or question in debates. 

Ron Paul is the candidate that the mass media wouldn't even list the number of delegates he won in each state. Why? The mass media, big business, and really wealthy are afraid of Ron Paul and the fact that he stands for what the majority of American people are in favor of: jobs; U.S. manufacturing; decentralizing many of the federal government's powers; making each state more responsible for its populace; no longer being the world's police force; etc. The current government spends billions of dollars on other countries, but is not taking care of its own people.

Vote for or write-in Ron Paul for President. No matter what party you are a member of, vote Ron Paul. You might say, “but he probably won't win,” so what. If enough of the American voting populace votes Ron Paul, maybe, just maybe, whoever is elected will have to sit up and take notice.
