Paul and Baldwin to speak at JBS

Ron Paul and Chuck Baldwin will be the main speakers at the 50th Anniversary celebration of the John Birch Society, according to the JBS website (http://www.jbs.org/50th). I found out about this event at the Daily Paul (http://www.dailypaul.com/node/51453#comments). It will take place October 2-5, 2008 in Appleton, Wisconsin.

There is really no reason for Ron Paul supporters to reject supporting Chuck Baldwin. Dr. Baldwin is the only candidate who will be on the ballot in November with the exact principles of Ron Paul. Bob Barr (the Libertarian) takes a position on immigration which sounds deceptively similar to "open borders." And, Chuck Baldwin at least has a chance of winning the support of the Huckabee and Romney people due to his Christian emphasis. Bob Barr seems a completely secular candidate, which is my problem with the Libertarian Party to begin with.

Ron Paul I believe sees things the same way regarding the Libertarians, since he boldly noted on the Mike Gallagher show last summer that he is "a constititutionalist, not a Libertarian." Also, Mike Peroutka, the previous CP nominee for President, stated to me at his conference last July that Ron Paul was the only sitting Congressman to contribute to his campaign (on which Baldwin was the VP nominee) in 2004. So not only did Chuck Baldwin work very hard for Ron Paul, Dr. Paul gave funds to Chuck Baldwin's previous campaign!

Hopefully, Ron Paul will actually endorse Chuck Baldwin in the near future and then there will be very little debate on this subject. :-)
