Now We Know Romney Is a Real Conservative

Conservative really meaning  right-wing Keynesian, warmonger, police-statist, torturer, gulagist, and pillar of the bankocracy: Ann Coulter has endorsed him. (Thanks to Travis Holte)

The Ron Paul Food Drive

Writes Laura Robeson:

"Just to give you a quick update on our food drive: we now have 45 cities, and 23 states participating. On December 19th there will be a Town Hall and Food Drive event in Manchester, NH, featuring Dr. Paul himself! We're really excited and fortunate to have Kate Baker (National Coalition Director at Women for Ron Paul) coordinating that. We've added a short video to our Home page that gives a quick overview of the project."

Ron Paul Saves Man From Jury Duty

Writes Luke Hansen:

"A friend of mine called me yesterday to thank me profusely for getting him out of Jury Duty in Lincoln, NE.  I could't think of anything I had done to help him, especially since I didn't even know about it.  It turns out the case for which he was selected was a drug case. The prosecutor asked the potential jurors questions about how they felt about the validity of US drug laws and most said they agreed with them.  Then at the end he asked, 'So just to clarify, none of you agree with Ron Paul?'  At this my friend (who I didn't know was a Ron Paul supporter) went on a rant about how Ron Paul is right and that the Drug War has failed and that the policy itself is immoral. Needless to say he was not chosen for the jury.  He called me to thank me for all the articles I had re-posted from lewrockwell.com and mises.org which had given him the intellectual ammunition to stand up to the prosecutor!"
