Liberty Maven

The soon to be released feature length documentary film, “For Liberty: How the Ron Paul Revolution Watered The Withered Tree Of Liberty“, will tug at your hope-strings and heart-strings. It is a definitive portrait of the passion for not just the man Ron Paul, but the glorious message of liberty.

I was lucky enough to acquire an advanced copy of the movie. It went straight from the mailbox into my DVD player. You are going to adore this movie. In fact, you are going to EVOL this movie.

Without revealing too many details (I don’t want this to be a spoiler) it covers all of the major grassroots events, efforts, and activists that were the essence of the Ron Paul Revolution. It begins right around the time Ron Paul announced his candidacy and culminates with the Rally for the Republic.

The creators utilize the “Walk4Freedom” (perfectly I might add) as an avenue to tie the “story” together. The story is told by the grassroots activists themselves, individuals such as Michael Maresco  (Walk4Freedom, Ron Paul Rider, Ride For Honesty), Lawrence Lepard (Full Page Ron Paul Ad purchaser and organizer), Trevor Lyman (Money bomb promotion, Ron Paul Blimp), and many others.

The campaign was assisted greatly by the ability of the Internet to disseminate information quickly. Michael Nystrom, founder of The Daily Paul, is showcased. Also, Bryan and Josh of RonPaulForums are featured throughout along with several others.

Also appearing are some pundits, politicians, and radio show hosts. These include British MEP Daniel Hannan, Tom Woods, BJ Lawson, Jack Hunter, Doug Wead, Tucker Carlson, and more.

Perhaps the most important thing about the movie is that it highlights how change can happen beginning at the grassroots level if the message is right. It effectively demonstrates how these “crazy Ron Paul people” aren’t so crazy after all. This is hammered home with what has happened in America since the end of Ron Paul’s Presidential campaign: the economic crisis, Obama’s march toward socialism, the trans-partisan effort to audit the Federal Reserve, and so on.

Near the end of the film Ron Paul is seen in a video message ending his campaign for President. He tells us it is not the end but the beginning.  Today, there are some indications he was right.

His son, Rand Paul, is clawing his way into a Senate race in Kentucky by running on a similar platform and utilizing his father’s network of supporters. There are many liberty-minded candidates running for office in various races throughout the country. These people were all inspired by Ron Paul’s campaign. The great ones open doors for their followers to be even greater. I think this will be one of Ron Paul’s heroic legacies.

If the future be bleak with Orwell’s (or is it Obama’s?) “1984″ vision, rest assured this documentary will be banned from existence and illegal to own. And being banned in such an environment is the highest honor bestowed upon any work of art. I hope this extreme is never realized but if such an evil time is on the horizon I will keep this movie safely hidden. Gold is to the preservation of monetary value as this movie is to the preservation of liberty.

In Obama’s world communities need organizing. In Ron Paul’s world communities organize themselves. This is the open secret of the Ron Paul Revolution. It is a microcosm of the principles that founded our country: No central planning, individuals govern themselves and trade with each other. Of course, it’s not perfect, but it’s certainly better than the path we are on today.

This is not just a story about the Ron Paul Revolution. It is a blueprint for a better America.

That blueprint is a lot like the Kevin Costner character’s message in the movie, “Field of Dreams”. Instead of “Build it and they will come”, Ron Paul’s voice tells him: “Offer freedom and they will come.”

This movie proves that they have come and they aren’t going to fade away anytime soon.
