Umm, I didn’t vote-there’s no ‘other ” option. Im sure of who Im voting for, still. Writing it In! It’s my obligation as an American to do the right thing. Im with the Constitutionalists walks his talk, holds true to his Oath Dr. Ronald “Ernest” Paul! R.E.P.-represents We the People baby!
That’s not funny how they don’t leave ROn Paul up there anymore…as that’s how I am going to vote still.
Feel free to write in Ron Paul if that’s what your conscience says to do but be aware that the vote will literally be thrown away. The majority of states do not count write-ins and those that do require the candidate to register as a write in.
I will still write Ron Paul in!!!! I stand firm!!!!
ruby, whats the point in voting for someone who isnt running?
I dont agree with either candidate that is on the ballot so i stand tall for my freedom… i will not vote for the lesser of two evils, Romney and Obama are the same!!! They will take AMERICANS FREEDOM aways and i want my freedom!!!
This year I’ll be writing in Ron Paul. I did the strategic vote thing in 08 and have regretted it ever since. Voting for Robamney only empowers the flip-flopping frauds and gives your assent to the continuing use of torture and the ever growing police state. Not for me!
While I’m lucky to live in (the Most FREE state in the nation – google it), New Hampshire, where write-in votes are allowed and counted, I do see that others may not have that option. In that case a 3rd party vote would count as a protest vote.
I’ll also mention that most voters do not fill in the entire ballot unless they go “straight ticket”. They vote in the races that interest them. IOW, people don’t have to vote for the top of the ticket if they don’t like any choice. They can and IMO should still vote down-ticket, where it matter much more…
All politics is local – I’m busy crowding the RINO’s out of MY GOP
Go Grassroots
I’M WRITING HIM IN WITH A BIG BLACK MAGIC MARKER AND POSTING ON UTUBE….RUN PAUL RUN
The top 10 reasons why Dr. Ron Paul is the only rational presidential choice for Americans, Democratic, Republican and Independent:
10. Dr. Paul works a real job, has run a small a business and served in the military. He has been a physician for 40 years, co-owned a coin store for 12 years and was a flight surgeon in the U.S. Air Force and U.S. National Guard for five years. That was how our country was set up — for public servants to work a real job that they returned to after their public service was done. He has real skills and is not a professional politician.
9. Dr. Paul has decades of experience running a business and in depth knowlegde of health care.
8. Dr. Paul understands money and is chairman of the House Financial Services Subcommittee on Domestic Monetary Policy and Technology.
7. Dr. Paul does the right thing referencing the U.S. Constitution and works for the country versus campaigning for his ego. He has been serving the public in politics for over 40 years.
6. Dr. Paul refuses to accept a federal pension for his public service, something other members get after a short period because they do not have real jobs. According to Dr. Paul, to receive a pension for public service would be “hypocritical and immoral.”
5. Unlike most other candidates out there, Dr. Paul is not a good-looking, smooth-talking, snake charmer or charismatic zealot. He is a regular, plain-spoken person who says it the way it is.
4. Dr. Paul doesn’t care if big groups like him (like unions and businesses). His donations come primarily from individuals, not from groups. He is willing to serve his country honorably without personal gain. Dr. Paul will do what is right for the U.S. based on the Constitution whether or not big money or big government likes it.
3. Dr. Paul has written a bill, called the Sun Light Rule that requires our politicians have at least 10 days to read bills before signing them.
2. Dr. Paul will bring practical wisdom, cut spending, balance the budget, stabilize the economy and probably be able to do away with the IRS and income tax, a tax that is not constitutional and was started to fund the civil war and supposed to stop after the civil war. He wants to abolish the U.S. Department of Education, giving the states and parents back control. He wants to do away with other large government agencies, restoring the rightful power to the states.
1. Dr. Paul’s old-fashioned decency, integrity, honor and real-life experience are exactly what our country needs after hiring actors, puppets, oil and other group-connected slick sales men and marketers. He’s been married to the same woman, Carol, for 54 years (married 1957).
Electing dishonorable, irresponsible, good-looking, smooth-talkers over the past several decades has eroded our country’s stability.
Are Americans finally ready to elect an honest, decent man who will not listen to non-sense from regular Americans, politicians or corporations? A president who will be accountable and hold us all accountable? I hope so.
“Special interests have replaced the concern that the Founders had for general welfare. Vote trading is seen as good politics. The errand-boy mentality is ordinary, the defender of liberty is seen as bizarre. It’s difficult for one who loves true liberty and utterly detests the power of the state to come to Washington for a period of time and not leave a true cynic.” — Dr. Paul
me too!
why? most states dont allow or acknowledge write ins so no chance he would be elected or even show up on anything
It could be a glitch with the poll. It usually (or should) “bold” the choice that you voted for.
