Tennessee Republican Assembly Endorses Santorum?!?

 TN Republican Assembly Straw Poll Results:
Ron Paul 200 or 63.3%
Rick Santorum 62 or 19.6%
Newt Gingrich 38 or 12%
Mitt Romney 15 or 4%
John Huntsman 1 or 0%


In an effort to ignore Ron Paul and the two hundred new Conservative\/Tea Party type voters who showed up at the TRA event, the TRA has endorsed Rick Santorum for President.

Rick Santorum isn't on the ballot in Virginia, has no ground game in Tennessee,  and has no delegates in Tennessee. Santorum failed to bother to get himself on the ballot in Virginia and is probably going to drop out of the Presidential Race.

The entrenched Political Machinery of Nashville, TN needs a good mechanic to perform an overhaul on their strategical response system. To endorse a faltering candidate and ignore a young new base of Conservative Voters is political suicide.

I have been really impressed with the Grassroots Volunteers for Ron Paul in Tennessee. They have been going door to door for months, hosting Ron Paul Tables at Gun Show, and making targeted phone calls to share the message of freedom. To ignore such a large group of enthusiastic Constitutional Conservatives who are doing this with no funding or direction from an official campaign is incomprehensible.

Check out the disconnect:

Battle of Athens Moneybomb

Ron Paul Media Blackout in Nashville, TN


The Tennessee Republican Assembly hosted a Straw Poll in Nashville, TN this past weekend and Ron Paul was the clear winner with 200 votes! A serious upset for the Status Quo. The story gets more complex when you read on how the Local Corporate Media affilites mistakenly report that Rick Santorum had won..

It seems that shenanigans and disinformation are rampant in the Entrenched Political Machine in Nashviille, TN. Ron Paul Supporters are avoiding juvenile name calling and are turning their disgust with being swindled into DIRECT ACTION.

Local Grassroots volunteers have pledged to redouble their efforts for Ron Paul and are hosting a Battle of Athens Moneybomb...

The recent Straw Poll Victory and the subsequent local Ron Paul Media Blackout mirror similiar circumstances which lead to the Battle of Athens, TN in 1946.



The volunteers at Tennessee for Ron Paul have come up with a creative and peaceful way to restore the rule of Law and promote Constitutional Principles and I salute them.

Newt Gingrich: Space Cadet

"By the end of my second term, we will have the first permanent base on the moon and it will be American,” Gingrich said"

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0112/71991.html#ixzz1kflW60N1

“I believe that space tourism will be a common fact of life during the adulthood of children born this year, that honeymoons in space will be the vogue by 2020,” Gingrich wrote toward the end of the chapter. “Imagine weightlessness and its effects and you will understand some of the attractions.” -Newt Gingrich

Newt Gingrich wants to colonize the moon and wrote a book detailing his fantasies of having sex in Outer Space?!?!
And you think us Ron Paul Supporters are crazy for wanting to obey the Constitution, restore Sound Money, and have a Foreign Policy of Peace?

*sheesh*

TSA detains Rand Paul in Nashville, TN

Tyranny is thriving in my own State. Yesterday, Senator Rand Paul was harassed and detained by the TSA at the Nashville Airport.
In response, some of us were able to assemble and protest at the Nashville Airport. Unfortunately, within 30 seconds of our impromptu protest inside the airport we were surrounded by some not so friendly cops. We were informed that we could not "protest" inside the airport and that we had to put our signs down. We were told we could apply for a permit to protest or be arrested for trespassing. While en route to ask "permission" to exercise our 1st Amendment, one of my friends saw some local reporters and raised her sign for their cameras. Our field trip to obtain a permission slip to speak was then cut short by the cops and we were forced to leave (but not arrested). Local Media got a quick interview with us before we left (@46 seconds)
Rand Paul on being detained:

"“It was a big headache,” Paul said in a phone interview. “I missed my speech here. I was supposed to speak to the Right to Life March, probably the biggest audience I’ll get to speak to, and I missed it.”"

"The White House, through spokesman Jay Carney, defended the TSA’s actions during Monday’s press briefing by arguing that Paul wasn’t technically “detained.”
“Let’s be clear,” Carney said. “The passenger was not detained. He was escorted out of the area by local law-enforcement.”"

"But Sen. Paul told TheDC that he certainly felt like he was detained. “If you’re told you can’t leave, does that count as detention?” Paul asked.

“I tried to leave the cubicle to speak to one of the TSA people and I was barked at: ‘Do not leave the cubicle!’ So, that, to me sounds like I’m being asked not to leave the cubicle. It sounds a little bit like I’m being detained.”"
