For Liberty: How the Ron Paul Revolution Watered the Withered Tree of Liberty Trailers

As the 2007-08 presidential campaign cycle offered up the usual slate of Washington insiders, Ron Paul, an obscure Congressman from Texas brought an alternative voice that challenged the political establishment. Advocating a philosophy of sound money, a non-interventionist foreign policy, strict Constitutionalism, and individual liberty, Dr. Paul inspired a unique grassroots movement unmatched in American history - the repercussions of which continue to reverberate today and into the future of the American psyche. For Liberty: How the Ron Paul Revolution Watered the Withered Tree of Liberty follows this historic campaign from the perspective of grassroots activists, and showcases the unique, often bizarre, yet groundbreaking projects they undertook as they brushed aside traditional campaign methodology.

Don't listen to the negative reviews

There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

I have always loved history and I have been inspired by the elegant simplicity of the documents left to us by our founding fathers. I have often lamented the erosion of the principles by revisions, that nullified the intent of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. The election process has usually been distilled to a choice between two evils. The all important selection process has been reduced to sound bites. The major media outlets control the candidate selection processes. The two party system limits our choices. The Granny bus, those who walked, those who bicycled, those who raised money to float the Who's Ron Paul Blimp, have inspired me. This documentary showed how we the people can act independently but in concert to effect change. All of my life people have told me "Alan, you can't change the world." Watching this movie I realized how wrong they were, I'm going to follow my instincts, and my conscience, I'm inspired and because of this film I will do more to effect change in 2012.

I absolutely fell in love with this film. Ron Paul is America's leading voice for limited constitutional government, low taxes, free markets, and a return to sound monetary policies. You know the finances are so bad, and they're getting much worse because of the way they're spending money, running up the debt. I think the financial crisis is getting so much worse. Interest rates are going up. I think that's a major, major problem we face. Congressman Ron Paul has continued to run his Congressional office in a frugal manner, and was able to return more than $100,000 from his allotted office budget to the Treasury this year, an increase over the $90,000 returned last year.

My brother shared this movie with me and I am really thrilled that he did. I have shared it with many people and they loved it as much as I did. Word of mouth has brought this movie to many households that might not have seen it otherwise. It is amazing to see how well these guys did. Their movie is simple and clean and a powerful statement of the common man without all the Hollywood hype. This movie shows a true grassroots effort to peacefully affect change in our nation. Grassroots currently seems to be the only way that we are going to be heard. America is still a great nation and we sometimes need to be reminded of it. This is a movie that I will continue to share with anyone and everyone. Thank you to those who worked so hard!

....so I'll list a few of them. The movement for a more free society in the good ol' U.S.A. started with Ron Paul's run for the republican presidential nomination in 2008. This was a fun, adventurous, heart breaking, exhaustive, educational, and miraculous time for those of us who were pushing for Ron Paul's nomination or at least the acknowledgment that the man was running! People can be so creative, warm, sincere, among other things when they are fighting for what they believe in. This movie shows the viewer these aspects and so much more! It is educational and informative. Funny and heart felt. It shows the insides of a movement that was based on one thing.....FREEDOM! Freedom to touch the stars and freedom to fall on your face! If you want to have a laugh and learn about your countries electoral process I highly recommend you watch this movie!!! Great stuff!
