I hate to even raise this subject, but... have we ever had a Presidential Candidate die while he was running for the nomination?
The PsTB can't afford to have him as the candidate. I wonder what kind of tricks they are going to pull to keep him from becoming the next President of the United States?
I doubt if he has ANY skeletons in his closet that they can use to blackmail him with.
I also think that if they threaten him or his family, he will go directly to the floor of the House and announce it. He must have learned how they do this to people they don't want in the race... all he has to remember is how Ross Perot was threatened and pulled out of the race until he was able to put a safety net over his loved ones.
Ron Paul had better get that safety net in place right now!!
Ron Paul has my vote.
What MORE can we at RMN do to get Ron Paul's message out to the nation?

: About Ron
: Congressman Ron Paul (R-Texas) is the leading advocate for
: freedom in our nation’s capital. As a member of the U.S.
: House of Representatives, Dr. Paul tirelessly works for
: limited constitutional government, low taxes, free markets,
: and a return to sound monetary policies. He is known among
: his congressional colleagues and his constituents for his
: consistent voting record. Dr. Paul never votes for
: legislation unless the proposed measure is expressly
: authorized by the Constitution. In the words of former
: Treasury Secretary William Simon, Dr. Paul is the "one
: exception to the Gang of 535" on Capitol Hill.
: Ron Paul was born and raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He
: graduated from Gettysburg College and the Duke University
: School of Medicine, before proudly serving as a flight
: surgeon in the U.S. Air Force during the 1960s. He and his
: wife Carol moved to Texas in 1968, where he began his
: medical practice in Brazoria County. As a specialist in
: obstetrics/gynecology, Dr. Paul has delivered more than
: 4,000 babies. He and Carol, who reside in Lake Jackson,
: Texas, are the proud parents of five children and have 17
: grandchildren.
: While serving in Congress during the late 1970s and early
: 1980s, Dr. Paul's limited-government ideals were not
: popular in Washington. In 1976, he was one of only four
: Republican congressmen to endorse Ronald Reagan for
: president.
: During that time, Congressman Paul served on the House Banking
: committee, where he was a strong advocate for sound
: monetary policy and an outspoken critic of the Federal
: Reserve's inflationary measures. He was an unwavering
: advocate of pro-life and pro-family values. Dr. Paul
: consistently voted to lower or abolish federal taxes,
: spending and regulation, and used his House seat to
: actively promote the return of government to its proper
: constitutional levels. In 1984, he voluntarily relinquished
: his House seat and returned to his medical practice.
: Dr. Paul returned to Congress in 1997 to represent the 14th
: congressional district of Texas. He presently serves on the
: House Committee on Financial Services and the House
: Committee on Foreign Affairs. He continues to advocate a
: dramatic reduction in the size of the federal government
: and a return to constitutional principles.
: Congressman Paul’s consistent voting record prompted one of
: his congressional colleagues to say, “Ron Paul personifies
: the Founding Fathers' ideal of the citizen-statesman. He
: makes it clear that his principles will never be
: compromised, and they never are." Another colleague
: observed, "There are few people in public life who,
: through thick and thin, rain or shine, stick to their
: principles. Ron Paul is one of those few."
