A card flyer listing his platform and wooden pencil with his name on it. For everyone not aware of his running platform, which probably includes everyone, I'll list his claims below: -Never Voted to raise taxes -Never Voted to raise congressional pay -Never voted to increase the power of the executive branch -Opposes NAFTA, GATT, WTO, and CAFTA, and vows to get us out of the United Nations -Will end "birthright" citizenship and illegal immigration -Has never taken a government-paid junket (some help? what is a junket?) -Does not participate in the lucrative congressional pension program. -Returns a portion of his congressional office budget to the U.S. Treasury every year. -Will end our financial dependence on China, Saudi Arabia, and other foreign nations. This last one is interesting to me, especially since the wooden pencil accompanying the flyer has CHINA printed on it right below the poorly attached eraser (choking hazard?) In fairness the flyer was paid for by citizens for Ron Paul and was not authorized by any candidate. Questions, Comments? I received some interesting Ron Paul propaganda in the mail today.

It was a huge deal because it allowed the government to void their contracts recouping tens of millions of dollars. The administration witness claimed that they, in violation of law, do not conduct any oversight on sub-contracted sub-contractors contracts, which incidentally didn't mention these regulations whatsoever.... Not sure if Blackwater was allowed to carry arms but the firms they employed weren't. The government claimed there were just too many sub sub contracts to keep up.

PJB won the primary in NH with 27% and he only had 6% in the 'polls'. Ron keeps doing very well in the 'straw polls' in NH where the others can't get more than a few people out to support them. These polls mean nothing.

You're getting stuffy about an article released today. We made the correction, and have given you due credit for the mistake. No one here sits around tracking when Gallup releases a new poll, if it was released today, there may be a chance that we got our data before the new data was released. If you want to make sure all your readers have up to the minute information, please feel free to start your own blog, I hear that blogger and wordpress are both free. However, we'll use the best information we have at hand, and correct and update when we need to (just as we did today). Give it a rest. You’re getting stuffy about an article released today.

So much as if you refute my information, you need to provide the counterpoint. Basically, you need to do the legwork. Especially since the link I cite isn't terribly out of date considering you pull info from a release today. If you checked my link it was still a Gallup poll article from the 12th. However in light of your article from this morning, I will be more than happy have the prod at Pope Ron Paul changed to show he is working hard for 6 percent of the vote instead of more than one percent.
