For starters you have to understand that most people in this country don't vote. Only about 40% or there abouts of those eligible to vote actually do and most of them don't have any idea who is running until just before the final election. Those that decide the primaries and actually vote in them are even fewer than the actual general election. So it is not just webmasters, but the general population that is apathetic. When it comes time to vote people vote for many stupid reasons. they vote for someone because a friend or relative or spouse told them to. They vote for or against someone based on how they look and a million other reasons that make no sense. I bet if you walked down the street and asked 100 adults if they knew who ron paul was about 90+ of them would have no idea. People don't pay attention and worse yet, they don't care. When the election comes around they look at their lives and they decide if they are happy with how things are going. The state of their job, home, cars, ect has more to do with who they vote for than anything else. Most people don't care about starting a revolution or making a major change. It might be sad, but it's true. For most people staying in the current and being safe is more important than the risk of change. It is simply how many human beings are. You can look at any industry as a microcosm of that. How many people do you know that are very good at their job and could probably start a business doing that job on their own and make a good living? In my life I have worked with some very intelligent people that really know what they are doing and are in the tops of their fields, yet they still work for a company. Why? Security. They know come monday they will have a job and on Friday they will get a check and that weekend they can relax and unwind and that is what matters to them. The security of the here and now carries far more weight then the unknown of change.

So if you are truly unhappy how things are and you think Ron Paul is the guy to change that then tomorrow get up and do something about it. I don't mean going on a webmaster board and trying to convince people on the internet he is good. Don't make a YouTube video or a website about him. Instead contact his campaign headquarters and see where the nearest office by you is, go down there and volunteer to work on his campaign. You go there and you make calls and walk the streets and hand out fliers and talk to people. The Iowa caucus shows that grass roots campaigning does work. Huckabee has gone from nearly last place to being in front in Iowa and he has spent next to no money. Recruit your friends. Get anyone you can find involved and start it yourself.

If there is no headquarters near you ask them what you can do to help, I'm sure they will say give money. Tell them you want to do more than that. Ask them if they can send you some literature to hand out or information to give to people. If they are really serious about getting him elected they will hook you up.

You are the one that talks about starting revolutions, well, go out and start one. When you run into someone that disagrees with you then move on. find those that won't argue with you for an hour about every little thing and find the ones that are open and agree with some of what he is doing. Revolutions are not started with a bang, they are started with a serious of whispers. Be the first whisper.
