Allan Stevo has written an comprehensive campaign blueprint for liberty candidates. Stevo lays out practical advice for Ron Paul supporters and future liberty candidates who believe winning elections will help restore freedom in America. Unfortunately, it was published too late for this presidential cycle. Stevo’s primer may have had a greater impact this year if it was published in mid-2011.

Ron Paul’s message is resonating
22
Jan
Despite finishing fourth in the South Carolina primary, Ron Paul was upbeat during his speech Saturday night, giving one of his finest presentations as a presidential candidate. Ron hit all the high notes about his campaign and reminded his supporters that the cause of liberty will not be won overnight; it is a multifaceted process. Educating people about crony capitalism, the FED, the federal budget and entitlements, civil liberties, and our interventionist foreign policy so they will vote for the liberty presidential candidate may take more time than just this presidential campaign.
Why Ron Paul will win Iowa
16
Dec
With a little more than two weeks to go to the Iowa caucuses on January 3, 2012, Rep. Ron Paul is poised to win the caucuses because he is the most fiscal conservative candidate in the race, the most pro free enterprise candidate in the race, the most pro civil liberties candidate in the race, the candidate most critical of the Federal Reserve, the engine of the inflation and the cause of financial bubbles, and the candidate who does not want to go to war at the drop of a hat.
Neocons in a panic, liberty is within our reach

Justin Raimondo explains why neoconservatives prefer war instead of diplomacy, and why Ron Paul is the greatest threat to their reckless foreign policies. With Newt toeing the “party line,” namely, that the Patriot Act is the best thing since sliced bread, he has become the darling of the fear mongers. Rep. Ron Paul made the case why the American people should not give up their liberties for security, a principle the Founding Fathers embraced without reservation.
Some rich enthusiastically support the welfare-warfare state

Nov
These so-called patriotic millionaires are anything but. If they want to pay more of their income to support the welfare-warfare state, it goes to show that you can be a complete fool in America and still become wealthy. What a great country. This stunt should lay to rest that wealthy folks believe in free enterprise. They worship big government as much as the left wingers in Congress, in the media and in academia.
Ron Paul is right about foreign policy

Nov
Another article explains why Ron Paul’s foreign policy views are in the best interests of the American people. Our interventionist policies, undeclared wars, scores of military bases scattered across the globe and a huge military industrial complex are undermining are economy and causing hatred of America. The neoconservatives from both political parties really know how to destroy America.
Henninger: I believe in big government
27
Oct
In the WSJ today, Daniel Henninger discuses the GOP debates and calls Ron Paul a “fringe candidate.” Henninger also writes that he changes the channel whenever Ron Paul speaks, because the Texas congressman would “let Iran have the bomb.” According to Henninger, the United States government should give permission to any nation that wants to build a nuclear weapon. So there you have it, the federal government must rule the world. The WSJ is firmly in the big government camp, dissing the only candidate with a plan to rein in government spending, protect our civil liberties, and defend the dollar.
Christie endorses Romney, and therefore supports endless war and the bloated military-industrial complex

On October 11, Governor Christie endorsed “moderate” Mitt Romney for the Republican nomination for president in New Hampshire. A couple of hours later, Christie and Romney held a national teleconference for supporters.
Mitt Romney: Warmonger waiting in the wings
10
Oct
In the past three days, “moderate” Mitt Romney, the putative GOP presidential nominee, even though not a single caucus or primary has been held, has sounded like John McCain and other GOP elected officials who want to perpetuate America’s failed foreign policy of invade, occupy and rule other nations.

Just say no to Cain’s 999 plan, and why Ron Paul should advocate a 10-0-0 plan

Former Godfather’s Pizza CEO is now a top tier candidate according to the latest polls after he won the Florida straw poll a couple of weeks ago in a stunning upset over front-runners Rick Perry and Mitt Romney.
Tom Moran’s lame critique of champions of liberty, Ron Paul and Mike Doherty
22
Sep
Tom Moran, editor of the Star-Ledger, New Jersey’s largest newspaper, does his best to be a journalistic “hit man” in his piece, “NJ State Sen. Mike Doherty’s Ron Paul endorsement is revealing.” Moran, an unabashed left-winger, lists a couple of Rep, Paul’s core positions—eliminating the income tax and abolishing the Federal Reserve. In addition, Moran correctly points out that Rep. Paul “considers Medicare and Medicaid” to be unconstitutional.”
Warren Buffett: Great investor, lousy economist
21
Sep
The Oracle of Omaha is at it again. Instead of doing what he does best, make money for his shareholders, Mr. Buffett is complaining that rich folks like him do not pay enough taxes to support the welfare-warfare state. Of course, Mr. Buffett did not say that exactly, but that is the implication of his August 14, New York Times op-ed calling for the federal government to stop “coddling” billionaires like him and raise taxes on the mega rich. President Obama has taken Buffett’s ideas about taxing the rich to make it a central initiative in his plan to reduce the deficit over the next ten years.
Searching for a fair tax? Fuhgedaboutit!
18
Sep
For decades, make that centuries, philosophers, economists, politicians and others have been searching for the Holy Grail of taxation, a “fair” tax. And they all have failed. Inasmuch as all taxes involve coercion, the very negation of liberty, taxation is no different from what a robber who says to his victims, ‘Your money or your life.” In fact, taxation violates one of the fundamental tenets of the Judeo-Christian tradition, “Thou shall not steal.” Thus, creating a fair, coercive tax is impossible.
The MSM are acting like the KKK in their treatment of Ron Paul
21
Aug
After nearly winning the Ames straw poll on August 14th, Rep. Ron Paul was ignored by the mainstream media on Sunday’s talk shows the following day. The straw poll winner, Rep. Michele Bachmann, was on every major talk show basking in the limelight as the MSM anointed her, Mitt Romney and Texas governor Rick Perry, who announced his candidacy for the presidency the day of the straw poll in South Carolina, as the three top tier candidates in the race for the GOP nomination.
Raise the debt ceiling…to $100 trillion

Jul
The negotiations between President Obama, Speaker of the House Boehner and other Republican congressional leaders about raising the debt ceiling and cutting the deficit have stalled because the president wants to increase taxes as part of a “balanced approach” to the federal government’s fiscal imbalances. Republicrats assert that higher taxes are “off the table.”
