Runnin for Ron!

This morning I did a 10k "turkey trot" run and met up with a few fellow Ron Paul supporters here in San Diego. We all wore t-shirts and one guy dragged a wagon behind him with signs, slimjims, and a CD player playing Ron Paul speeches!

There were probably 600 people at the event. Plenty of them were exposed to Ron Paul, a few came over to us after the race. Most were neutral or supportive. One guy ran by my friend who was wearing a t-shirt and informed him that Ron Paul would let poor people starve! Pretty funny since what does he think is happening now? What would his version of government do for these poor people? Give them weekly rations of food?

The attacks on Ron Paul, as ridiculous as they usually are, are a good sign. His name is getting out there. Freedom is clearly not for everyone, so there will be some backlash. But it's nice to get ANY reaction, rather than NO reaction!

My run by the way was good- 45 minutes and a new PR for me!

Happy Thanksgiving!
