This November 5th is Ron Paul Day

Casey Khan at the LRC Blog asked for an update to the doggerel that accompanies the remembrance of Guy Fawkes failed attempt to blow up the Houses of Parliament.  I obliged him, right after I signed myself up for the big event planned by these guys.  He posted it to the LRC Blog this morning (enjambment all wrong, but hey, I'm not complaining.):

Remember, Remember the 5^th of November,
the pledges for reason and gold.
I can think of no treason
like pledging for reason
Worthy of men free and bold.

 

This fund-raising idea got me thinking this past weekend and after ignoring my wife for a couple of hours, I put together an article and submitted it to Lew Rockwell for publication (still pending).  In that first draft I decided to complete the work begun above to mirror the entire song sung on 11/5 each year. So, while Lew can't publish direct appeals for fund-raising on his site, I have no such restrictions here:

Remember, Remember the 5^th of November,
the pledges for reason and gold.
I can think of no treason
like pledging for reason
Worthy of men free and bold.

In Ron Paul did we entrust
to stop the booms as well as busts;
and the wars of endless time, the punishment
without a crime,
The taxes of which rob and fleece,
Both the living and deceased.

Come on Boys, Come on Girls, Join the Revolution!
Come on Women, Come on Men, Remember the Constitution!

We're at 6100 people and climbing.  The goal is 100,000 people on November 5th.  Even reaching 20% of this goal would be quite the achievement, if only a tactical nuke as opposed to a MIRV, to extend the money bomb analogy.  In my mind we can do this peacefully or not.  The choice is ours, and it's before us two weeks from today..

Ta,
