The Alabama Republican Assembly endorsed Ron Paul at their state convention today in Birmingham.
The endorsement required a 2/3rds majority of registered delegates. Ron Paul received the 2/3rds on the first ballot! Mike Huckabee came in second.
Convention chair Elaine Little noted that, with the crowded field, it was unusual that an endorsement would be won on the first ballot.
The group also held a straw poll that was open to the public. The winner of the straw poll was Ron Paul, with 81%.

Message from Campaign (with newest Endorsements)
January 22, 2008
Yesterday, you raised over $1.85 million for Ron Paul. Congratulations, and thank you so much!
It's been a great few days to be a supporter of Ron Paul, and not only because of the successful fundraising day or our great second-place showing in Nevada.
On the endorsement front, Ron Paul has won the support of three significant public figures in the last two days.
Yesterday, former New Mexico Governor Gary "Veto" Johnson announced that he is supporting Dr. Paul for president. Governor Johnson is an icon to small-government conservatives and libertarians for his long-standing commitment to the principles of the Founders. You can read our press release here.
This morning, Ron Paul also received the glowing endorsement of Donald L. Luskin, a prominent financial commentator on CNBC and Chief Investment Officer for Trend Macrolytics LLC. You can read Don's editorial in National Review about why Ron Paul is right for America here.
Finally, Dr. Paul hosted a press conference this morning with well-known pro-life activist Norma McCorvey, better known as 'Jane Roe' from the infamous Supreme Court decision, Roe v. Wade.
Much more good news about the campaign is coming soon, and all of it is made possible by your support. Here are some ways that you can immediately help to keep building our momentum:
1. Become a Precinct Leader: We really need to fill spots for precinct leaders around the country. Outside of donating, this is the most critical thing you can do to get Dr. Paul elected. Help us by signing up in your area.
2. Spread the Word: We've created a great tool to help you get the word out to your friends about why Ron Paul should be our next president. Check it out here.
3. Donate: Keep in mind that we need financial contributions from our loyal supporters every day - and more so now than ever. Remember, there are an astounding 22 primaries and caucuses coming up on Super Tuesday. If you didn't get a chance to give yesterday, you still can help us compete in all of the upcoming primaries and caucuses by donating today: https://www.ronpaul2008.com/donate
Thanks again!

P.S. For those of you who haven't heard, Mike Huckabee's campaign is broke and like Guilini is asking staff to go without pay. Don't let the same thing happen to Ron Paul. After all, where else would Mike Huckabee get all of his ideas? Contribute today!

Send Your Endorsement!
Message from Shana Kluck, National Coordinator of Homeschoolers for Ron Paul:
Let's show the world how many homeschoolers support Dr. Paul!
The campaign is going to add a "Homeschoolers Endorse Ron Paul" page to
their site. It would be great if every single one of you would send me a
short endorsement statement about why you, as a homeschooler, choose to support
Ron Paul. Include a short bio- names, state, how long you've homeschooled,
etc. If you know other homeschooling supporters that are not on this list,
please forward this info to them.
Please send your endorsement to [my email] with "Endorse" in the subject
line. I'm collecting them all and sending them to Jonathan Bydlak in a
single email. He's overwhelmed with the number of emails coming in from
other sources and we felt that this would make it easier for him.
Thank you!

TIME notices Dr. Paul
TIME magazine recently recognized Dr. Ron Paul as one of their Person of the Year: People Who Mattered in 2007.
Who next to sit up and notice the good doc?
Booed by Republicans for his isolationist foreign policy views and anathema to
Democrats for his anti-government philosophy, the Texas congressman was proudly out of step with both political parties. But marching to his own drummer, the grandfatherly libertarian found himself leading an online parade. Millions of
dollars poured into his quixotic presidential campaign, raising an inevitable
question: What's next for this free-thinking and strangely compelling grassroots
crusader?

Dear Homeschooling Friends
Hello! My name is Tara Wagner and I'm a homeschooling mom in Las Vegas, NV. I am enthusiastically supporting Congressman Ron Paul in the 2008 Presidential Election and I want you to know why.
I believe Dr. Paul is the strongest supporter of homeschooling freedom in the race for President. His record of fighting for individual liberty in all arenas is the best of any of the candidates now seeking the presidency, and I know he would make the finest President homeschoolers could hope for.
He has been a powerful advocate of homeschooling and educational freedom, speaking on numerous occasions on his support and respect of homeschooling families - http://youtube.com/watch?v=nQP5KVM5tB8 - and having introduced the Family Education Freedom Act which would return to parents the freedom to teach their children at home and in the manner they think best by providing a tax credit of up to $3,000 for homeschoolers and other parents to assist in making homeschooling an affordable choice. [Source: http://www.house.gov/paul/congrec/congrec2000/cr092600.htm]
As the "Champion of the Constitution", he has never voted to raise taxes, never voted to raise congressional salary, and never cast an unconstitutional vote. In 20 years in congress, his consistency and integrity have been unmatched and unwavering, as he remains steadfast in his stance on important issues, returns a portion of his congressional budget back to the U.S. Treasury every year and refuses to take part in his congressional pension plan.
For those who already know and love Dr. Paul, I'd like to invite you to subscribe to my blog, http://www.NVHSforRonPaul.blogspot.com . I'm doing my best to keep it updated with new info, as well as anything that needs support or action by homeschoolers or others on a national or local level. On the left side of the website is a box where you can subscribe via email so that you are notified of new posts. This is the easiest way to keep updated as to new information, rallies, articles, etc.
If you would like more information regarding Congressman Ron Paul's stance on other important issues, please visit the links below my signature or you may call or email me personally with your questions. You may feel free to forward this information on to any other group(s) or person(s) that you believe may be interested or I would be happy to speak at any group meeting or supply you with personalized packets regarding Ron Paul.
Important steps are needed to ensure his success and your participation is crucial! I urge you to join me in supporting Congressman Ron Paul, "The Homeschooler Best Friend", in the 2008 Presidential Campaign.

GQ's "Dark Horse of the Year"
In the most recent issue of GQ (Gentlemen's Quarterly Magazine) which hit newsstands today (11/27/07), Ron Paul has been honored as one of it's men of the year. Distinguished as “Dark Horse of the Year” among a small and select group of 38 entertainers, athletes, politicians, and other icons, Congressman Paul is the sole 2008 presidential candidate to have been selected.
“Dr. Paul is humbled and honored to be chosen as a ‘man of the year,’” said Paul campaign spokesman Jesse Benton. “According to GQ, Dr. Paul is the dark horse to win the presidency, and with support steadily rising each day, we are moving closer to winning the Republican Party nomination.”
