Know any friends or family that rubbed you the wrong way with their narrow minds? How about businesses that you do business with? Do you know where they stand? How about the people you work for?
Ron Paul's message is absolute. I hope he becomes the next president because he has a lot of supporters. These are people who live or die for freedom. These are people who deserve freedom. These are people that never had freedom. Or these are people just waking up. But we haven't seen anybody like him in our lifetime. I question why, but that is another subject matter. Probably because you don't see freedom fighters on TV. But again, that is another subject matter in and of itself. But Ron Paul started a movement and I think his wishes are for others to continue the struggle and thirst for freedom and individual liberty.

One way to individual liberty is via financial and economic freedom.

I've had my Constitutional Rights violated before. I have had my privacy violated before. I have seen how corrupt the court system is. And when you stand up for your rights, they lie more and more, racking up your attorney bills more and more. I think this is the status quo. I also think this is one way the machine destroys personal freedoms, but that is another subject matter in and of itself.

I strive for personal freedom. I have sometimes had to shut my mouth to distance myself from my past, and it never should have came to this, but I think it is time to continue the march. I would like to propose something in terms of power in numbers and to change the paradigm to help this shift of change. It can be done.

I believe there needs to be an auditing system in place. Not a BIG BROTHER in place. But I think the auditing system must entail a system that upholds PRINCIPLES. And at some point in time, Ron Paul's name has to be taken out of the equation. He has been an awesome catalyst and a founding father in our own time. But please here me out.

I want to do business with Ron Paul supporters. Not people that claim to be a Ron Paul supporter but have proven that.

I want my money to go to the right people. I want to work for the right people. I want to buy my vegetables from the right people. I want to work cooperatively with others to ensure purchasing power and turn the tables on economies of scale. This can be done.

One way to ensure this is to form a directory. Break the Matrix could have a business section perhaps, or this could be done third party. But there must be a system in place to see to it that these PRINCIPLES are upheld, as with any business - there is always someone out to get you. Thus buyer beware. And that being said, there is a sucker born every minute.

I'll give you some examples.

When I buy my next house, I want that Real Estate Agent and Company to be on the Ron Paul Bandwagon.

When I buy my next mortgage, I want the company to be on the Ron Paul bandwagon. When they buy the loan, I want to be assured they shopped the best rates and bought from someone on the Ron Paul bandwagon.

When I buy fresh fruits and vegetables, I want to have my purchasing power working with others to ensure bulk pricing and that the local economies are in support of the message of freedom.

I want to live in a state that is on the bandwagon.

I want to see to it that people have a mission statement, even pay good money to sign up to pledge they will uphold these principles and form membership to ensure strength in numbers.

I want to work for a company that upholds these PRINCIPLES. Or I want to be an owner that upholds these PRINCIPLES. I want someone who puts these PRINCIPLES above and beyond the insurance industry, neglect for privacy, and let's lawyers dictate their businesses, or lets government dictate their business.

There is a right way to spend money and a wrong way to spend money. And with purchasing power there is benefit in sticking together.

This is a small step in changing the economies of scale.

Hey, you can always shop at Wal Mart. Or you can do business with those that uphold these PRINCIPLES.

Other businesses can say wait, you can't do that, or throw out cheap prices and lower the standard of living. Or you can put your purchasing power togehter with others and make a dent. One step at a time.

Shift the profits, uphold PRINCIPLES. And make sure these businesses are true to their word and these principles. Hit others in the pocket book, they too might understand the message more clear.

These corporations are not worth working for. They do not abide by the Constitution. They violate privacy. They lay people off for short term stock gain, outsource workers, move plants oversees, etc. All of which harms the economy. Some support NAU, NAFTA, etc, and others are selling out our sovereignty.

I am speaking on a small scale. But think big.

I'd liken it to a few simple ideas as examples.

1) I want to have my house sold by a RP supporter, or buy with the help of one that is as well.
2) I want to support local businesses that agree to this message
3) I want to see businesses agree to mission statements that they will uphold these principles for their employees and shareholders alike.
4) I want to see the money trickle a different direction.
5) I want to see an auditing function to weed out scam artists and those that disregard the message
6) I want to see for profit cooperative buying and purchasing powe programs.

Feel free to criticize this idea or add your thoughts. I think a directory is a good start. Pledging. And I also think there should be incentives, as in membership fees, and then year end rebates for long term members. Adding others as the paradigm changes, benefiting all that abide by these principles.

In short, I want to do business with the right people. Ethical people. This is a small step in shifting the power.
