Homestead mailing list

Lynn,  I'm voting for Ron Paul; and there are at least two other Libertarians 
on the list; I don't know how they plan to vote (nor do I care) but it sounds 
like Ron Paul will get between 2 and 4 votes from this list.  I think his 
overall numbers might end up surprising people.  McCain asked for his 
endorsement, he said  to McCain that there was no difference between Repubs & 
Dems anymore and would not endorse.  It's a protest vote, but if he gets 
enough, maybe it will strengthen the movement.......bobf

If everyone who didn't like either of the major party candidates would 
actually vote for someone they DID like, we could turn this country 
around in a few elections. I can't tell you how many people I talk to 
who like Ron Paul, for example, but never even considered voting for him 
because he "didn't have a chance". They settle for the 'lesser of the 
major party evils', and that's what they get.

By voting for a third party candidate who stands for what I believe, 
I've been accused more than once of "giving" the election to someone I 
didn't even vote for, and it's that attitude that keeps us stuck with 
the status quo (besides, since popular vote doesn't count, once a 
candidate wins my state, my one additional vote wouldn't mean anything). 
The revolution won't start until We the People vote it in, but people 
don't have the guts, so get the government they deserve.
