A Report From Glenn Jacobs on The Ground in Denver!

I think the worries about a Barr take over of the party have been overblown. To get into the C-SPAN debate, delegates were issued tickets which they then signed and gave to their chosen candidate. At one point today, I was told that Barr had over 200 tickets (out of approximately 550). Turns out that he, Dr. Ruwart, and Root all had 96. In addition, based on my sign count (signs for each candidate waved during the debate), Mary had overwhelming support. Much more than anyone else. Whether this was from delegates or not, I don't know. The platform debate was boring. I'm not much on parliamentary procedure and gave up on it. While I'm certain there will be much made of it, the new proposed platform still strongly libertarian (someone told me that McCain could run under the new platform. No, he couldn't. Not unless he was going
to bring the troops home, deregulate nearly everything, end the Drug War, and re legalize gold and silver, etc.). The real debate is whether the platform should be an outreach tool or a statement of principle for candidates. I think this is much ado about nothing. Just like the Constitution, while ideas have power, documents are just words on paper. You still rely on people to put the ideas into action. It is going to come down to Ruwart, Barr, and Root. I could live with any ticket that has Ruwart on it in either capacity (if she would accept). From Denver, this is your roving reporter signing off.

Bush-McCain raise few $ ?

A story is circulating claiming the Bush-McCain fundraiser has been moved from the Phoenix convention center to a private home, because so few people bought tickets.

Ron Paul Revolution invades Phoenix!!!

The Ron Paul Revolution steam-rolled into Phoenix and I had the pleasure of meeting with the good Doctor. One thing that really amazed me was the excitement in the air as over 700 people packed the Ball Room floor at the Pointe Hilton Squaw Peak Resort to hear Dr. Paul speak. It was truly amazing to see that many people who really care about freedom and liberty all in one place. Many in MSM ask why Dr. Paul is even still in the race. If any of these simple minded MSM morons would take the time to drop in on a Ron Paul Rally, they would witness the seeds of liberty breaking ground in the hearts and minds of many Americans. This Rally was my first and will not be my last. I can honestly tell you something big is happening. Ron Paul may never become president. What he has started however, is legendary on par with the founding fathers. The establishment may not have to worry so much about Ron Paul directly, but the tsunami of dedicated freedom loving Americans opening their eyes and gathering behind the Revolution will in the very near future have big Government politicians shaking in their boots and experiencing uncontrollable flash bowel movements. Oh... And yes, I had a great time at the rally.

Big Brother Is Watching as He's Never Watched Before

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) recently installed millimeter-wave scanners at checkpoints in Los Angeles International Airport and New York's JFK. It already uses the technology at Sky Harbor in Phoenix, and it’s threatening to add more machines not only in these terminals but in others, too. Millimeter waves bombard passengers with beams that penetrate clothing to show the body beneath. Victims don’t undress: the rays do it for them so screeners can find the weapons so many of us tape to our torsos. Never mind that no TSA employee anywhere has discovered a single terrorist, despite wandings, pat-downs, and the agency’s foot-fetish. Passengers now may have to perform a virtual strip-tease, too...READ MORE
