I've seen statements from Ron Paul supporters lately to the effect that "Everyone is a Ron Paul supporter, they just don't know it yet", or "People only don't support Ron Paul because they don't understand his positions" or "Because the media is keeping him down." Well Paul fans, here's your chance. I want to see if you can convince me that I should give up my statist ways and embrace the revolution.
Some background: I am 24, straight, white, and from a working class and middle class background (split family). I am currently working a base retail job while I take out loans and grants to put myself through University. I'm studying History and Urban Planning, with intentions to get a Masters of Urban Studies and to go into a career as a city planner. I live in a big city, San Jose. My political beliefs, as of current, are moderate-liberal democrat.
So, why should I drop my support for Obama and go out and campaign for Ron Paul? I'm listening if you have convincing reasons why it will make my life better.
