In Iowa, many hundreds of volunteers worked day and night for our
campaign. College kids took their Christmas vacations in the snow for
freedom. Thousands of people donated to make it all possible. We had many
phone calls, brochures, mailings, advertising. Revolutionaries from all
over the country sent handwritten letters to every voter, and despite
national media attacks and censorship, we got more than 10% of the vote.
We also soundly beat a certain ex-mayor who started off the first debate
by attacking a pro-American foreign policy and the explanatory
doctrine of "blowback," the CIA's term for foreign intervention that causes
trouble for us in return. The Golden Rule applies to nations as well as
to individuals.
And speaking of debates, FOX blocked my participation in its last New
Hampshire debate, but I think that hurt FOX more than us. We had a
terrifically successful townhall meeting at the same time, and Jay Leno
invited me on the Tonight Show again to discuss it. Many members of our
movement were galvanized to overcome the bias, including me!
In our Iowa campaign, since it was a caucus, we were dealing with party
activists for the most part, not the people. And some of the activists
were very unhappy to hear our views, trying to scream them down!
Others thought that peace violates Christianity. But New Hampshire is
another story. There is a state and a people tailor-made for us. Live Free!
Then there are Michigan, South Carolina, and Super Tuesday and its
nearly 20 primaries. Frankly, we need $23 million more to have a chance of
beating the establishment candidates.
I am working hard for our ideas, as I know you are. The attacks and
even smears will increase as we do better. But they will not defeat our
ideas. They cannot defeat out ideas. At this moment of urgency for
America, with spending, taxes, spying, inflation, and wars out of control and
threatening all we love, let us rededicate ourselves to freedom,
prosperity, and peace. Already, I owe you all my thanks. Join me in this
great endeavor in New Hampshire and beyond. Please make your most generous
