Phew, what a week -- what a great week
in Iowa. But first the important news: my wife Carol had a
heart-pacemaker implanted on Sunday, and she is doing much better. She
had a scare -- me too! -- and we are both so grateful for all your good
wishes and prayers. They worked. And now she is safely back in Texas.
As
I campaigned from morning to night in the August heat the last week,
sometimes I'd get tired. And then I'd think of all the supporters,
working in Iowa and so many other states, who never stop no matter how
tired they are. Could I ever do less? Never. And I never will.
What
could be more important than this movement of ours -- for freedom,
peace, and prosperity? We hold the future of our country, of our
children and grandchildren, in our hands. We can never stop, never
flag. And we never will.
One old friend compared this campaign
to the tortoise, and our opponents to the hare, in the old Aesop's
fable. The hare was fast and flashy, but because of over-confidence
and carelessness, he lost the race. The tortoise kept going, step by
steady step, taking nothing for granted, never giving in, never giving
up, and winning the race.
In Iowa, we took some good steps
forward in our race. Considering the converts we made, the
organization we brought forth, and the amount of money we spent as
compared to the others, we are on the right trajectory.
And now,
after I make sure Carol is well taken care of, I am off to New
Hampshire, and campaigning in Texas for our straw poll on September 1 (http://www.texasgop.org/site/PageServer?pagename=Straw_Poll_Home).
This
is our moment. Not only because Americans are sick and tired of
foreign wars, of the oppressive income tax, of growing restrictions on
our precious liberties -- but because spending, deficits, and Federal
Reserve troublemaking have brought on a global financial crisis that
endangers all of us. Now, of all times in our modern history, we need
the message of sound money and economic freedom taught to all our
people. How desperately we need the truth.
This is a dangerous
time for all we believe in. Now, above all, we must spread the truths
of the Constitution, of the rule of law, of life, of peace, of freedom,
of an America that will truly be a city on the hill.
Join me in doing just that, with your most generous donation (https://www.ronpaul2008.com/donate/). We have a country
to win.
Sincerely,
Ron
