712544068_G5SaF-M Congressman Ron Paul spoke to 1,100 enthusiastic constitution loving college students in Ames Friday night. (An early number did not account for the packed overflow room.) His speaking themes included reducing the troops in war, reducing the role of government in health care and reducing the influence of the federal reserve bank.

Here are the artjournalism smugmug and flickr galleries from Friday Night’s action by Dave Davidson…

100 images of Ron Paul in Ames is in a nice smug mug gallery ronpaulsmugmug.HereInIowa.com

END THE FED song

End the Fed, End the Fed!
That’s what I said, Let it spread.
End the Fed, End the Fed!
It’s in the red, Leave it for dead.

(End the Fed, End the Fed!)
(End the Fed, End the Fed!)
(End the Fed, End the Fed!)
(End the Fed, End the Fed!)

Don’t tread on my tea party.
Don’t tread on my liberty.
Don’t tread on me Ben Bernake.
Don’t tread, don’t tread on me.

Decades of cover up
to discover what?
Just what, just what
we need to shut up.

Ron Paul seems to do a really good job of connecting to young people. We have to do a better job of this. I was not a Paul supporter but his message does seem to be gaining traction.

Lobo, Nimitz; I agree that the rest of the folks need to sit up and take notice. Ron Paul is putting forth a message that resonates with the young voters. Simply put, they can see thru the BS that the politcal set has been spewing for years. They understand completely that it is THEY that are going to have to pay the bill for all the over-spending, budget-busting legacy that we are leaving for them. Mark my words, if the Libertarian Party ever gets its $**t together and catches on to truly limiting government to its Constitutional restraints, the GOP is in big trouble!!!

This is where the party needs to be. Let’s stop relying on fear and actually convey some useful messages for the nation.

As a 59 year old family physician from rural Iowa I may not qualify as a “young voter”, but I am also an enthusiastic supporter of Ron Paul. I traveled over three hours to be at this ISU rally and also attended his fund-raiser for Kent Sorenson Saturday morning.
I hope that more of my fellow Republicans wake up to this man’s message. This is no flash in the pan fringe movement. I am no Ron Paul “groupie”.I am simply an American who loves my country and recognizes that I can not truly be a patriot without supporting the constitution upon which this Republic was founded. Why are so many young people so smitten with Dr. Paul’s message? Maybe it is because “peace, freedom, and prosperity” are timeless themes that their parents have been ignoring for so long that they have finally came back into style.

Well said Space! I think many are regretting so quickly dismissing him as a “nutjob” in ‘08, especially considering how things ended up.
