Ron Paul

Dear Friends,

If you had told me two years ago that today I'd be a registered Republican, and an alternate delegate to the GOP convention in Minnesota, I would have called you crazy! If you recall, back in October 2006, I was advocating voting for "Gridlock."

At the time, Republicans controlled the White House, the House and the Senate! I was terrified of what two more years of that would look like, noting,

What happened the last time we had Kissinger, Rumsfeld and Cheney in the same Whitehouse? Does politics provide any hope whatsoever?

I suppose that was the question that began my strange and wonderful journey. By some kind of miracle, Democrats took control of the Senate (by one seat!) and the House. Not that I was a Democrat, but they were supposed to be the opposition party. (Does anyone remember that concept?)

I was up in Nashua, NH today to see Ron Paul. He gave a great speech, and then he stayed around for over an hour after the event talking to supporters outside. When I got to talk to him, he told me - no joke - "I was reading the latest Mogambo Guru and I saw that he mentioned you, and I thought, 'Hey, I know Michael Nystrom!'" He looked at me with a big grin, laughed and said, "Hey, you're famous!"

That's the kind of guy Ron Paul is. He reads the Mogambo Guru, too! He's kind and funny and jokes around. But he also knows his stuff, and he is serious about spreading the message of liberty.
