NEW FUND RAISER COMING UP
http://teaparty07.com wont you help us make history!!
Have you noticed? Ron Paul is picking up a LOT of support within the financial community. So far, these are the names of very prominent investment advisers who have announced their support for Ron Paul:
Axel Merk (Merk Hard Currency Fund), Harry Schultz (Harry Schultz Letter), Jim Rogers, (Jim Rogers.com), Richard Russell (Dow Theory Letters), and Peter Schiff (Euro Pacific Capital).
Not to mention the Chicago pit traders who were cheering for Ron Paul when he went head to head with Bernanke! Also, I was down at a local silver / gold shop in Boston the other day and I handed the guy behind the counter a bill stamped with Ron Paul 2008 on it. Of course he knew about Ron Paul because of his honest money stance, and was a big supporter.
Below are some brief excerpts and links to their full statements, where available. If you know of any others that I've missed - please post them in the comments section. I'd like to put together a very comprehensive list.
Axel Merk - 4/27/2007
Merk Hard Currency Fund It is not our role to endorse a presidential candidate, especially not this early in the process. We don't agree with all of his views, but highly respect his no-nonsense approach to fiscal and monetary policy issues. We encourage everyone to familiarize themselves with the fiscal views of Congressman Ron Paul. He is living proof that it is possible to be a fiscally conservative politician with integrity.

Harry Schultz: HSL 662, 30 September 2007, page 6: Ron Paul (for US presideing) is obviously the only election chance for upgrading the US govt. All others are just reruns of wrong principles & policies. If U want to help the cause of freedom with $'s go to: https://www.ronpaul2008.com/donate.

Richard Russell: Russell's Remarks, November 6, 2007 The current issue of Time magazine surprised me. The issue had a two page report on libertarian, Dr. Ron Paul, the Texas Congressman, who is running for President. Ron believes in the US Constitution. Ron would like to shut down the Federal Reserve and go back to the gold standard. I gather Ron would end the war in Iraq -- further, he would close down all our 120 military bases that are spread across the face of the globe. Ron would legalize narcotics and thereby end our expensive and idiotic "war on drugs." I guess, to make it short, Ron would pretty much get the government out of our hair, and return it to its original Constitutional form. I'm all for that. Furthermore, I'd mandate that every US Congressman and Senator be fully conversant with the US Constitution. I'd mandate that each and every one of them take an intensive course in Constitutional law. What they'd learn would probably shock them, but they'd get over it. I'll vote for Ron Paul in the coming election. He's not going to win, but I just can't see myself voting for one of the other candidates. "Why are they running?" I ask. "Do they stand for anything different? Do they question where this nation is heading? Do they ask how this nation is going to continue living on borrowed money? Do they ask why the Federal Reserve was never subject to a Constitutional Amendment?"

Peter Schiff endorses Ron Paul: November 7, 2007 I recently had the pleasure of personally handing the Honorable Ron Paul (the only member of Congress truly worthy of that title) a $2,300 check (the legal maximum) as my contribution toward his presidential campaign. I have never given one dime to a politician (though Congressman Paul is more of a statesman than a politician) in my life, and you know what; it felt great. It was the best $2,300 I ever spent. The purpose of this email is to urge every single one of my clients, every subscriber to my newsletter, and every one in my database, to make a similar contribution.
Doug Casey
On November 9th, 2007 Slatterypod says:
Doug Casey has voiced his support for Ron Paul, not only for his economic sense, but for his approach to foreign and domestic policy as well.

Lloyd Doggett grills Ben Bernake on bailout
Congressman Lloyd Doggett questions Ben Bernake about the $700 billion Wall Street bailout.
---------------------------------
The President's Gilded Trillion-Dollar Bridge to Wall Street
Rep. Lloyd Doggett
September 25, 2008
In somber tones last night, President Bush described a crisis as if it had emerged on Wall Street from outer space. Never accepting any personal responsibility, this is the man, who chased the sheriff off Wall Street, while they had a party - a Grand Old Party.
That infamous Republican earmark - the Bridge to Nowhere up in Alaska - it carried a hefty price tag: $223 million. Well, what President Bush is now asking Americans to do is pay for the equivalent of 4500 Alaskan bridges - a trillion dollar, gold-plated, diamond-encrusted "Bridge to Wall Street."
Our job here in Congress is to ask "Is this just another bridge to nowhere?" And to ask why is it that the partygoers don't have to pay for the party? Why should American taxpayers and future generations of Americans have their future mortgaged to pay for a party they never participated in?
---------------------------------
"Wall Street got drunk-Mr. President, you gave them the keys to liquor cabinet."
Rep. Lloyd Doggett
September 23, 2008
A few months ago, President Bush accurately diagnosed the problem he just dumped in the lap of Congress. "Wall Street got drunk, and now it's got a hangover," he said. But Mr. President, you gave them the keys to the liquor cabinet by failing to enforce our laws. And now you're really demanding that Americans, who didn't get invited to the party, must pay for everything destroyed in the drunken brawl.
These late night negotiators have not asked the President, "Where do we find $700 billion?" It is time to demand that bailout supporters outline the revenue measures necessary to pay for it. And the place to begin is with those who enriched themselves when Republicans took the cops off the corporate beat. We need an alternative to just raising the credit card limit-an alternative to more irresponsible "borrow and spend" from a President who has already borrowed more from foreigners than all previous Presidents in American history put together and who continues to mortgage America's future.
