Exuberant Ron Paul supporters are using the internet to rally support for their candidate. To date they have developed a Ron Paul Revolution logo and marketed the idea throughout the web on message boards and YouTube and painted rooftops beneath an airport flight path to read GOOGLE RON PAUL in 4-foot block letters. This drive to support Paul is independent of his official campaign team. According to CNN Fred Thompson, who has not yet officially announced his candidacy, is currently higher in the polls than Paul. It seems unlikely that the poll numbers reflect Paul’s enthusiastic supporters.

Bill Lacy, Thompson’s campaign manager said, “Fred is consistently near the top in the polls, and conservatives across the country have put together the closest thing to a draft in recent presidential campaign history in an effort to bring about this day.”

Though he is currently unannounced he is the number two Republican candidate in the most recent polls, and is well known for his role in NBC’s Law & Order. His high name recognition makes him an attractive candidate to undecided conservatives, though there are currently eight Republican candidates in the race.

He went on to say that average Americans must be involved in decisions about issues from health care to education to trade. Obama’s solution is to post all non-emergency bills online for five days before signing them into law, which would allow Americans to have input on the legislation.
