Dear
Aaron,
Welcome to the eleventh issue of the Truckers4RonPaul.org newsletter.
The biggest issue for the campaign
and its supporters right now is getting delegates to the primaries so that we can push Ron Paul's nomination for the Republican
Party's choice for President!
In fact, all of our work informing people of who Ron Paul is and what he stands
for will be for naught if we do not get him elected as the Republican Party's nominee!
This means we have
to work hard to get him through the caucuses in all fifty states. Iowa is finished and we had a great showing there,
but we need to do even better in the up-coming states!
If you aren't a
delegate or have friends or family who are also eligible to be delegates, GET INVOLVED NOW before it's too late! The
deadlines in many states are already passed or are coming up quickly!
Go to Ron Paul's website for more
information:
www.RonPaul2008.com
So tell your friends about Ron Paul and keep on truckin'!
Sincerely,
Aaron Turpen

 Giant Ron Paul Sign Mission
Michael
Richardson has a vision. He wants to make the world's largest political sign - and he wants to make it for Dr. Ron Paul. To do this, he needs help. He's got the location and the paint. All he needs is a canvass. "The sign will be 160 feet long and the biggest election sign in the nation. This sign will stand
alongside I-44 near Sarcoxie Mo. At night it will be lit up like daytime, using high power lights.With 67,000 cars passing daily, it will take only 15 days to be seen by ONE MILLION people.This sign will shine as proof that WE THE PEOPLE can and still will make a difference."
What Michael needs from you are: three white box trailers and the means to move them to his location. That's right. Just three (preferably) white 53' box trailers and the means to move them to his location in Missouri.
So if you can help him with his dream, contact Michael toay. You can email him directly at: ekim@safe-mail.net |

Iowa Results!
The results of the
Iowa caucus are in.
Yesterday was a remarkable day for Ron Paul, and it wouldn't have
happened without you. For those of you who haven't yet heard, Ron Paul took over 10% in yesterday's Iowa caucus, handily beating
Rudy Giuliani and finishing right behind both Fred Thompson and John McCain. This despite that Rudy Giuliani made more visits
to Iowa than Ron Paul. And, entrance polls showed that Ron Paul took first place (29%) among independent Republicans!
This campaign is just beginning, and we are starting off better than anyone in the "mainstream" media imagined.
Back in February 2007, no one gave Ron Paul any chance to succeed in this race. Ron Paul did not have the name recognition
of other candidates, nor the financial resources. Essentially, Ron Paul started at a level of 0% in all 50 states.
But then, as we know, something started to happen. Americans started to hear this message of freedom, and began to galvanize
behind the cause. It's no small feat that we brought in 10% yesterday in Iowa, a double-digit turnout that has brought a lot
of commentary - even from Fox News!
Just last night, Greta van Sustern had this to say:
Ten per cent is not insignificant - that's
a huge number. Here you have a candidate that 10 per cent of the people caucused in his party really want him and it's not
like he's an insignificant player. He didn't just drop in yesterday to the process, he has been running for president for
a long time, and certainly many of the issues he's raised are rather provocative and certainly stimulate the debate; that's
not a bad thing.
This election is just getting
started. It's time to mobilize and do what needs to be done. It's time to win the most important election of our lifetime.
We can only compete in the Super Tuesday primaries and caucuses with your continued support. Help us keep this momentum
going with your most generous donation today: https://www.ronpaul2008.com/donate.

NAFTA Superhighway
The NAFTA Superhighway is real and it's coming to America.
 Originally published in October, 2006.
by Congressman Ron Paul
By now many Texans have
heard about the proposed "NAFTA Superhighway," which is also referred to as the trans-Texas corridor. What you may not
know is the extent to which plans for such a superhighway are moving forward without congressional oversight or media attention.
This superhighway would connect Mexico, the United States, and Canada, cutting a wide swath through the middle
of Texas and up through Kansas City. Offshoots would connect the main artery to the west coast, Florida, and northeast.
Proponents envision a ten-lane colossus the width of several football fields, with freight and rail lines, fiber-optic cable
lines, and oil and natural gas pipelines running alongside.
This will require coordinated federal and state
eminent domain actions on an unprecedented scale, as literally millions of people and businesses could be displaced.
The loss of whole communities is almost certain, as planners cannot wind the highway around every quaint town, historic building,
or senior citizen apartment for thousands of miles.
Governor Perry is a supporter of the superhighway project,
and Congress has provided small amounts of money to study the proposal. Since this money was just one item in an enormous
transportation appropriations bill, however, most members of Congress were not aware of it.
The proposed highway
is part of a broader plan advanced by a quasi-government organization called the "Security and Prosperity Partnership of North
America," or SPP.
The SPP was first launched in 2005 by the heads of state of Canada, Mexico, and the United States
at a summit in Waco.
The SPP was not created by a treaty between the nations involved, nor was Congress involved
in any way. Instead, the SPP is an unholy alliance of foreign consortiums and officials from several governments.
One principal player is a Spanish construction company, which plans to build the highway and operate it as a toll road.
But don't be fooled: the superhighway proposal is not the result of free market demand, but rather an extension of government-managed
trade schemes like NAFTA that benefit politically-connected interests.
The real issue is national sovereignty.
Once again, decisions that affect millions of Americans are not being made by those Americans themselves, or even by their
elected representatives in Congress. Instead, a handful of elites use their government connections to bypass national
legislatures and ignore our Constitution-- which expressly grants Congress the sole authority to regulate international trade.
The ultimate goal is not simply a superhighway, but an integrated North American Union--complete with a currency,
a cross-national bureaucracy, and virtually borderless travel within the Union. Like the European Union, a North American
Union would represent another step toward the abolition of national sovereignty altogether.
A new resolution, introduced
by Representative Virgil Goode of Virginia, expresses the sense of Congress that the United States should not engage in the
construction of a NAFTA superhighway, or enter into any agreement that advances the concept of a North American Union.
I wholeheartedly support this legislation, and predict that the superhighway will become a sleeper issue in the 2008 election.
Any movement toward a North American Union diminishes the ability of average Americans to influence the laws under
which they must live. The SPP agreement, including the plan for a major transnational superhighway through Texas, is
moving forward without congressional oversight-- and that is an outrage. The administration needs a strong message from
Congress that the American people will not tolerate backroom deals that threaten our sovereignty.
