This is a very short podcast just to send out some positive vibes (wearing my tie dye t-shirt) on the day of the Iowa Caucus. Or Caucuses. Or Cauci.

Good luck, Dr. Paul!

Hey Folks!

Don't give up on me. I've decided to change the format of the show and...wow! It's taking longer than I expected.

I'll have another show up this week and announce the winner of Ron Paul's book.

Thanks for your patience.

I feel like the host of Mr. & Ms. America! We have our contestants, ladies and gentlemen, and now it's up to you, the audience, to decide which one of these patriotic and passionate individuals will get your vote!

Not all of them have given their names, so if an unnamed caller wins it will be up to them to listen to the show when I announce the winner and contact me. If you want to vote for somebody who didn't give their name, just give me a clue or two. How to vote:

Email me at rpfancast@gmail.com or...

On October 13, 2007, several members of the Tucson Ron Paul Meetup went to Tempe to meet with other supporters from all over Arizona and march for Ron Paul. It was an absolute blast! There was no way to walk away from that day without feeling simultaneously exhausted and energized. Have you marched for Ron Paul yet? If so, call in and tell us about your experience.

A Foreign Policy of Freedom by Ron Paul

The contest starts as of this posting! The person who calls in the best audio comment in support of Ron Paul will win a copy of his book A Foreign Policy of Freedom. I already have a few recordings that I will grandfather in, so if you want to participate, don't dilly-dally! The winner will be chosen by listener vote. You can either email your vote to rpfancast@gmail.com or call the voice mail line and briefly tell me who you think did the best. The number is 206-339-6398. Of course, you can also tell me by recording your vote on the bright red voice recorder right here on this page.

Good luck, everyone! Have fun!

Last Friday there were 15 members of my meetup group waving signs at one of the busiest intersections in Tucson. It was a blast! You will hear some interviews from that day. There will be a little traffic noise and the occasional honk from a supportive driver. I learned while putting this show together that if you take the traffic noise out, it leaves the speaker's voice distorted and unintelligible. I'll try to gather any future interviews in quieter locations.

I was going to edit out all the conversation in between, but I couldn't bring myself to do it. It might encourage some of you to get out and participate in a sign wave. We had so much fun and it really shines through in the audio. I also left in Drew's mention of me because he'll be mad at me if I don't.

I mention the Tax Free Tips Act during the intro. I forgot to give credit where it's due. I read about the flier and the idea of taking it to restaurants in a post on the Daily Paul web forums. I thought it was a brilliant idea and wanted to share it with you. Here's where you can find a copy of the Tax Free Tips Act Flier.

I want to encourage everyone to call in and have fun with your message! I'd love to hear some women's voices on the next podcast. There are many ways to get your voice out there:

Use the recorder up in the top right corner of this page.
Record on your computer, email me the mp3 at rpfancast@gmail.com

This show ends with another great song from Steve Dore called House Call. Thanks Steve!

I am definitely on a steep learning curve with editing audio files, but I'm sure it will get faster (and easier on your ears) as I get more experienced.

I'm very excited to tell you that I'm going to be playing music by Steve Dore at the end of each show. He has written several amazing songs about Ron Paul. I think you'll enjoy them. He also has an excellent website. You can find his songs at RonPaulSongs.com.

Thanks to everyone who called in and provided their audio for this show.

Show Notes:

Alden (Mesa, AZ) - Let's Get Clear

Jake (Chandler, AZ)

Matt (Tucson, AZ)

John (Tucson, AZ)

James (Tucson, AZ) - Newt Gingrich Article

Brian (Upland, CA) - Aaron Russo's film, America: Freedom to Fascism


I would like to give credit for the intro music I have been using. The song title is Liberta by the group 2012. It was purchased from the PodShow Podsafe Music Network.

I'd be happy to send your voice out to the waiting world. Just call 206-339-6398 or use the bright red recorder up there in the top right corner. If you don't have a built-in microphone on your computer, you can plug any mic into the mic jack and that will work fine.

How about we have six gals on the next show?

I'm leaving tomorrow (wait, I mean today) for the Podcast and New Media Expo in Ontario, California. I'm very excited about it because I will actually have a podcast to promote while I'm there. While I'm at it, I'll be promoting Ron Paul. Just by accident... wink, wink.

This will be a great place to tell people that Ron Paul wants to keep the government's hands off the internet. Podcasters and bloggers should be naturals for Ron Paul. They are very independent, freedom-minded people.

I've registered the podcast at iTunes and Podcast Alley, if you have an mp3 player and want to subscribe to my feed, you can do it there. Actually iTunes may take a couple of days, but it should be accessible on Podcast Alley.

Well, folks here it is. The first Ron Paul Fancast. Of course, I'm the only one on it, but that will change soon. I'm also hoping that the sound quality will be better next time. I'm going to change to a different microphone and hopefully that will fix the problem.

Here are links for things mentioned in the podcast:

Free State Project

Video clip of Ron Paul's Speech at Liberty Forum
There's some text comments and music added to the beginning and end of the clip that I don't believe are quotes from Ron Paul.

Free Talk Live
Free Talk Live has also interviewed Dr. Paul and you can find the archive of that interview on their site.

These links are all related to how I discovered Ron Paul.

If you have any comments or questions about the show, please email me at rpfancast@gmail.com.

I hope you'll all call in and tell your Ron Paul story. The number is 206-339-6398.

Thanks for listening!

Okay, Ron Paul fans, here's your chance to tell the world why you are...well, a Ron Paul fan!

We all know that the mainstream media has been ignoring Dr. Paul as much as they can. What they don't know is that they are slowly becoming obsolete. The new media, such as websites, blogs and podcasts are increasingly taking over the distribution of news and information to the world.

So, here's your chance to stand up and be recognized. Come on...you know you want to do it!

Take a couple of minutes and call this number: 206-339-6398

Tell everyone how you heard about Ron Paul. Tell us what he said or did that inspired you to support him. What made you a fan?

Let's let the world know how many Ron Paul supporters exist. I'll post every message I get, as long as they are reasonably clean and are from fans of Ron Paul.

Some quick tips:

1. If you think it will help, write some simple notes to keep you on track during your message. (When you are finished with your voice mail, you will be given the option to listen to your message and you may re-record it if you wish.)

2. Focus on the good of Ron Paul, not the evil of other politicians. (That would take forever!)

3. Tell us your first name and where you live.

4. Then, briefly, describe how you became aware of Ron Paul and what he said or did that inspired you to become a Ron Paul fan.

5. If you have a website you want to plug after you say your name, go ahead. Just avoid making the whole message a commercial, okay?

Don't worry if someone else has already said what you were going to say. Reinforcement is good!

Most of all, have fun!
