It Has Finally Happened

This cool guy has met THAT cool guy. That's right. Commander Cody has officially talked and discussed important matters with Dr. Ron Paul. Or, shall I say, our future President? Yes. I shall.

I joined forces with my Northern CT for Ron Paul 2012 Meetup group early this morning and high-tailed it to Nashua, New Hampshire for a Town Hall Meeting at the Courtyard Marriott. After chatting with a few members of Dr. Paul's official campaign and a few others in a grassroots movement local to Manchester, NH we sat down and awaited the arrival of the Congressman. Matters discussed were Dr. Paul's service in the U.S. Air Force, his career in medicine as a gynecologist and obstetrician, and the thoughts and considerations that ultimately led to his decision to enter the shadowy world of government. Political topics discussed were national defense, monetary policy, jobs and the federal budget, providing for a better future, space exploration, and the National Defense Authorization Act, which I wrote about previously.

All in all, Congressman Paul seemed energetic, excited, focused and all-around in great spirits. He absolutely recognizes the devotion his supporters have for him and his message of liberty, and he urges us to continue our hard work and get the words of truth and liberty out there. Upon being asked about his reaction and response to the media blackout, Dr. Paul said that even without getting a great deal of network media attention, we have been very successful in getting the message out and should continue doing so by using such means as the Internet and talking with people. Also, he joked that hiring John Stewart as his publicity representative wouldn't hurt XD

After the meeting we met up for lunch with some new friends from the Liberty at Boston University group and headed out for lunch. Eating good food, discussing politics, nutrition, and science filled the rest of the afternoon. Of course, there was much discussion of Ron Paul, and oddly, Christopher McCandless. Quite a day.

So what do we take from this?

Liberty is popular. Freedom is a great idea. And the Constitution is a damn good piece of work. Let's not let it go.

Ron Paul, his campaign and his supporters urge everybody out there to get involved. Join local grassroots groups through websites like Facebook and Meetup. Check out the official Ron Paul 2012 campaign website and sign up for volunteer work. The Iowa Caucuses are on January 3, 2012 and New Hampshire holds its Primaries on January 10, 2012. Even if you can't offer to put your own boots on the ground, you can always donate to Ron Paul's campaign - he needs all the donations he can get. We've got less than five weeks to get Dr. Paul to a stunning defeat or an undeniably-important second place finish in both these states. Get active, keep blogging, order merchandise to pass out and spread the word!

My name is Cody M. Buckmann and I support Ron Paul for President in 2012!!
