Dear Dr. Paul,

To start, I would like to thank you on the behalf of the millions of Americans who have been touched by your message of liberty. The principles you stand for, and also the very same principles millions of other Americans share, are ingrained deeply in what it means to be American, despite our country swaying from these very principles. I am inspired at your dedication of the past thirty years. I applaud your Campaign For Liberty, and I hope it remains a lasting legacy of your values. You have inspired many.

As the 2012 election approaches, much of our country is already beginning to talk of what the election will bring. Predictably, media outlets focus on the spotlight neoconservatives and our current President. Some say that disappointment in President Obama gives room for a Republican candidate to have a legitimate shot at election. They talk of Barrack Obama, Mitt Romney, and Sarah Palin well before primary elections or before anyone has even announced their candidacy. I do not believe it is far-fetched that the media, through such promotions, is trying to manipulate public opinion. None of these potential candidates have the devotion we have. No candidate has been able to raise more money in a single day than you have. In 2012, we will set a new record. Doctor, I’m amazed, because daily I meet more and more people who support you and support the principles of liberty we stand for. I would go as far as to say that most people – at least those who care – feel this way. Americans are legitimately upset by the new TSA regulations, buy the big-government bills that decrease our freedom, by the drug war, and by the addiction of reckless spending our government can’t seem to self-manage. I think the problem is they don’t know what they can do about it. However, caring – getting angry – is the first step. This gives me hope.

When I heard that the chances of you running for President in 2012 “were at least 50-50,” I was greatly encouraged. Dr. Paul, please run; we need you. America needs you. The monstrosities in Congress must be stopped, must be reversed, and in a political era where compromise and big government are worshiped, we need your leadership. Perhaps with a libertarian as President, other members of Congress will see that the ideas of liberty do in fact resound with the American people, and as a result maybe, just maybe, we can begin to rebuild the country they’ve been tearing down.

With your proven track record, I’m confident that if elected, you will stick by these principles of liberty and self-ownership. I’m sure some of the first issues you will address will be our foreign policy and our monetary policy. These need to be addressed, particularly because they may be at the roots of many of our problems. I do ask, Doctor, that once you’ve made it to the White House, fight for all the principles that make up liberty. I know this will be a tireless, never-ending battle, but it must be fought. Fight for self-ownership. Balance the budget. Bring our troops home. End the drug war. Bring transparency to the government. Reduce the power of special interest in Washington. Take measures to reduce the police state, and prevent further infringements in the years to come. I believe if the peaceful fight is not fought today, it will take a violent revolution in times of great tyranny for us to return to our American principles.

Dr. Paul, I believe you can win in 2012. So do many, many supporters. The support you received in 2008 was honorable – in 2012 it will be much greater. Once you announce your candidacy, we both know there will be supporters working daily to further the cause. I will be among them. Americans are waking up. We’ll tell everyone we know about what you stand for and how a free society is supposed to be run. I have a very good feeling about your 2012 presidential run, should you choose to do so. I hope you do. I pray you do.

We need you, Dr. Paul.

Sincerely,

Daniel Quitschau
