- What a shot in the arm the Nevada caucuses were, where
we took the silver as #2, beating McCain, Huckabee, Thompson, and -- of
course -- Giuliani. We also got four more delegates. In South Carolina,
we beat Rudy again. A big thank you to all our wonderful donors, volunteers,
and voters. So many people worked so hard to spread our message of liberty,
honest money, peace, and free-market prosperity. I owe you all my deepest
gratitude. So do our fellow citizens. So do all future Americans. Most
of the mainstream media continue to pretend that we do not exist. Yet soon
the race will be down to four candidates-Romney, McCain, Huckabee, and
me, and there is no stopping us, as Tim Russert grudgingly pointed out
the other night. Thanks to you, we are in this all the way through a brokered
convention.

- Nevada, by the way, is known as the Silver State for
a reason-its great mining industry produced the precious metal for the
beautiful silver dollars minted at the fabled Carson City mint. These constitutional
coins, include .775 ounces of silver, in accord with the Coinage Act of
1792. Today these coins, worth $1 in my father's day, have about $14 in
silver. That is, the dollar is worth 1/14th of what it was, thanks to the
counterfeiting Federal Reserve.
-
- The Fed has again taken our country into a terrible crisis.
Who else is talking about honest money that cannot be printed up at will
by DC bureaucrats? My opponents in both parties are all some variety of
print-and-spend Keynesians. Only we are telling the truth, about who is
to blame for this recession, and how we can build real prosperity with
sound money, no IRS, no deficit, and strict obedience to the Constitution.
And, of course, no hyper-expensive, hyper-dangerous empire all around the
globe.
-
- When I met with some great ladies in Charleston, all
of whom wore beautiful hats, I talked about the young people flocking to
our banner. "Don't forget the young at heart," said one. Darn
right! A youthful outlook, work ethic, and optimism characterizes all of
us. Frederic Bastiat predicted many years ago that liberty would be saved
by the young. He might have added the young at heart as well, and how right
he was!
-
- I continue to be astounded not only by all our revolutionaries,
but by our fellow travelers. Democrats and even the workers for my Republican
opponents come up to me to talk about our ideas. They are fascinated, and
want to learn more. Reaching so many people doesn't necessarily mean a
victory in the next primary, but it counts for the real changes we want
in our country, now and for our children and grandchildren.
-
- Of course, I am mainly paying attention to the next primary!
We are working hard in Florida, in Louisiana for the caucuses, and then
for Super Tuesday in more than 20 states. Meanwhile, the whole world is
watching how we do tomorrow in fundraising, on a day dedicated to the memory
of Martin
- Luther King, the great champion of non-violence at home,
peace abroad, and civil disobedience against tyrannical government.

. We can't let this movement be stopped, nor slowed. I promise you that
I will continue to pour all my heart and mind and strength into the battle.
I know you will too. Let's work together for all we love, and all we hope
for: freedom! Surely, it is worth all our efforts.

- Sincerely,
