Write in Ron Paul!
I’ve had a bumper sticker for Ron Paul on my car since well before the primaries, and almost everyone who’s seen it has told me they’re Ron Paul fans as well. But a few weeks ago at the market, one person (who also was a Ron Paul fan himself) tried to convince me that by voting for Ron Paul, I was actually voting for Obama. I greatly disagree. By voting for Ron Paul, I am voting for neither Obama nor Romney.
Romney and Obama are just classic cookie cutter politicians doing what classic cookie cutter politicians do best: giving us more of the same. People can’t keep voting for the same old democratic and republican candidates and expect new results. As Einstein said, “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting new results.” Is Ron Paul going to win? No, probably not because too many people are afraid to vote for him, but if everyone who actually believes in real change plucked up the courage to write in his name, the message would be loud and clear: We’re sick of politics as usual and we want a change!
People say it will never happen, and as long as no one takes the initiative, they’re right. Nothing will change unless people make it change. We’d still be drinking overtaxed tea if the Boston Tea Party hadn’t jumped on the ship and dumped the goods overboard. And we’ll still be stuck with the same old candidates if no one ever has the guts to vote for someone new; to vote for a real change. It’d be a message that we’re tired of the same old thing, and it’d be a message to all those people who are too scared to “rebel.” To the people who vote blindly following any candidate who has the democrat/republican label. Some people are just afraid to make a stand unless they see others doing it first. If we get enough people to write in Ron Paul, they will see it. They’ll see that there is a chance for a new party, a chance for real change. And if we get enough people to write in Ron Paul, maybe we’ll actually get to have a third party on that ticket next election!
For the most part, people vote AGAINST someone instead of FOR someone. I’m hearing a lot more people talking about getting Obama out than getting Romney in. People seem to be more concerned with voting against Obama than for Romney. Wouldn’t it be nice to actually vote FOR someone for once, rather than just trying to vote against someone? I’m writing in Ron Paul because I believe in real change. I want another choice, not just the same old republican/democrat politics as usual. Writing in Ron Paul is the biggest message a person can send.
Sure we might end up with Obama for another 4 years, but I really don’t think Romney is some magic man that can totally turn this mess around either. And at least I will have voted for what I really believe in. Change, Revolution, Ron Paul.
