Ron Paul Roundup

Lots of little Ron Paul stories hitting the news in the last couple of days.  The Concord Monitor has a great story about a former Google employee who quit in order to go to New Hampshire and help the campaign:

Eleven thousand copies of the U.S. Constitution stood piled yesterday in a garage, at the end of a cul-de-sac on White Pine Lane, outside of Manchester. A pickup truck from Long Island with a dozen bullet-hole stickers down its side was parked next to them. In the back was bathroom tissue, reams of paper and two dozen air mattresses.

"We need to buy coffee, frozen dinners, eggs, and bread," said Vijay Boyapati, who paid $5,000 to rent the house through Jan. 10. "We're going to need to feed a small army."

Boyapati, 29, is the man behind Operation Live Free or Die, an effort to bring 1,000 people to New Hampshire before the primary, to campaign for Ron Paul, an anti-war conservative running for president who mourns the end of the gold standard, interprets the Constitution literally and wants to put the federal government on a diet. Boyapati discovered the Republican congressman while watching the party's first primary debate last May. Seven months later, he has quit a lucrative job at Google to focus his efforts on the race, renting homes to house volunteers from across the country.

You can find out more at the Operation Live Free or Die website.  The New York Times has also admitted that Ron Paul isn't a Nazi... I haven't checked Little Green Footballs in a while... have they figured it out yet too?  And along with the various Veterans endorsements that are coming in, there is a new Ron Paul video out.

Crank it up boyz.
