Dear Friends on the Internet,

First off, I have no right to call you my friend, as on most sites I am but a lurker, not a participant. But today I end my silence to speak to you about a topic of extreme importance: the 2008 Presidential Election.

With our failure to provide a voting system at least as credible as our banking system (ie: double entry book-keeping and a viable paper trail) it is difficult for anyone who looks at the situation logically to become overly involved in the artificial conversation.

But where there's a will, there's a way. The only way to ensure success for truth-minded people everywhere is to understand that the nominations are more important than the actual elections.

The only way to ensure success is to create an inverse of the 2004 election, as your model for the 2008 election. As they ran Bush vs. Kerry, so now if we wish to save our democracy, we must run Ron Paul (R) vs. Mike Gravel (D) in the 2008 Election.

Simply put, if conservative realists and liberal realists form a Reality Coalition, we have the numbers and the connections to win. We are the networks.

It is already happening on the Internet. Bold activists have posted videos of Paul and Gravel on YouTube and spread links to information using Digg. Now I ask you to join the movement. We need to engage our fellow Americans in the conversation. We need to shout the truth to the rooftops. Let every blogger spread the word about Gravel vs. Paul 2008. Even if you have not been political in the past there is no reason that you can't start now.

Post articles, post comments, add links to your signature, send e-mails, post stories to Digg, write letters to the editors, become a maven, hand out fliers, print posters and stickers, and above all tell your friends, tell your community. Your voice may be small, but once thousands of voices begin shouting, there is no way to stop them all.

Please join me and spread the word.

Ensuring that independent political candidates win both nominations for the major parties is the only way to ensure the election of an independent candidate in 2008.

Thank you for your time.
