In New Hampshire with OLFD.
Had a great day, really cold but so what.
Had a great time with flags, signs and drums, we crashed Hillary’s arrival. All of her supporters were chanting “Hill er ee", we answered with “Bankruptcy” - LOL you shoulda seen the SS guys cracking smiles as we drowned out the opposition from across the street. Her campaign finally sent supporters over by us to try to drown us out, LOL - good luck. Sorry but my cam doesn’t work in the cold and I haven’t had time to upload the vids I am making. May get time tomorrow.
The highlight of the day for me was late afternoon when I was standing on a corner with my sign and flag when I turned around to see RP and Mrs Paul walk up. We smiled and I said, “Dr Paul, nice to see you again” while Mrs Paul exclaimed, Mike!!! You don’t have your bike, do you?” I said, “No, a bit cold for that” We all laughed and she remarked, “well at least you look well bundled” and with a “Stay warm", from Dr Paul they went into the restaraunt behind me for a radio thing and I got back to work.
Getting out tons of DVDs/Mosaics/Constitutions/etc. Lots of good folk here working hard for us
More to come
GO RON PAUL

For over 3500 miles I’ve had a vision to concentrate on, a destination to pedal towards. The Jefferson Memorial. I’m still digesting so more will be written but here is a pic post for today…
At first, all I saw was a pinpoint of light at the end of a long dark tunnel. As I got closer the pinpoint grew to allow light in, I could see the dome, then the columns, all in my mind. For the most part though, I could only see the road directly in front of me. The finish was too fantastical for little ‘ol me to fathom. Just a vision of light at the end of a tunnel.
Then, it was there.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
and it was no longer just little ‘ol me, but I was with friends and family. The Ron Paul Riders were almost there…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
But first, we had a few places to ride past
Arlington National Cemetary
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Reflecting Pool
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
While taking the above pics a young gentleman came up and said, Excuse me but… you are the Ron Paul Rider, I’ve been following you… I can’t believe I am here while you are… when did you arrive? Just now!!! OMG!!! - lol
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We went and paid respect at the The Wall, respectfully declining to take blog pics
Then, it was off to circle the Whitehouse :>>
I rode around, people were snapping pics left and right, even the cops were smiling
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As we circled the Whitehouse we caught site of the Capitol
and Tony was, again, sign waving
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As we left the ellipse we caught site of Jefferson’s Memorial again, we were getting closer
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
but first we had some special places to display the flag.
As we rode past the building I was inspired to “salute” for the entire time. People were smiling and laughing as they saw me giving the institution the “salute", with our flag flying behind.
Then it was Pennsylvania Ave to the Capitol
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
and the Supreme Court
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now we had circled all three branches of our Gov’t and it was finally time to end this little jaunt. On the way we circled the Washington Monument.
And we were getting closer
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And suddenly I was there
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A generous supporter was waiting (thanks Hersh)
who gave a great final ITW vid
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here is the writing on the wall
GO RON PAUL!!!

What a run into the metro area. It was nasty. The temp never got over 37degrees, and the traffic was nuts. The rain started about halfway. Actually just a bit of sleet and only a few snowflakes but lots, and lots of rain. Combined with the traffic we had to be on our frozen toes all day. In fact, it was so cold my camera would hardly work and the photos are from my phone.
Still a good day for RP though, we got lots of signs out, a bit of handouts in the Gas/Convenience places and redlights, and we got lots of honks from other supporters.
What was best was the local who came out for a ride. Robert was great, came out in the nastiness to ride for RP. So there were three RP riders to circle the Pentagon 
Navigating the metro area on bikes was… hairy. Was really glad to have a local with us. Still got a bit turned around and ended up on some road sections that bikes normally do not tread but we made it. Passed Arlington National Cematary.
and made it to HQ, (sorry no pics on my camera and have to wait to get them).
What was best though was cruising with Robert. He started with a “town crier” rendition as soon as we entered downtown and we went all the way through bellowing out slogans.
“Find out who the real front runner is”
“Ronnnnn Paaauuuullll!!!”
“End the military industrial complex”
“Support Ron Paul”
“End Tyranny”
“Visit RonPaul2008.com”
“Find out who the troops support”
“Vote Ron Paul”
“Support the Constitution”
“Ronnnnn Paaauuuullll!!!”
among others. It was great. I was mostly bellowing “end tyranny” and “A gov’t of The People, by The People, for The People". We would trade off and there was almost always one of us bellowing and the other two answering with “Ronnnnn Paaauuullll”
All three of us have powerful lungs and people could not help but look and most just had to smile. I was absolutely stoked. Riding with three was so much better than riding alone and I was real honored by the company. I was also quite impressed that Tony had made the whole 53 miles through the nastiness. He had been nervous about the distance and made it through with strength to spare.
Anyway, after taking a few pics out front of HQ we had to get warm and dry so Ken, Shirley, and I got a room here in Arlington. Ma and Tony have a room in town at the Crown that a supporter (Thanks Mr Malone!) had bought for us for three days while I was in Texas. I wanted to wait to enter DC on my bike so stayed outside here at a Quality Inn.
Last night I mapped a route through DC for today which is here
I just hope my camera doesn’t freeze up again, luckily it should be warmer and partly cloudy.
For months all I have been able to do is concentrate on my immediate area, the town I am in and the next on my way. Yesterday I kept flashing on LA. I cannot imagine what I will feel as we cruise DC today but I look forward to having the time to absorb this whole ordeal and believe I will a have a bit to say. Mostly it will be a great big THANK YOU to the grassroots…
GO RON PAUL!!!

I hope everyone enjoyed the day. Here is Ken and Shirley early this AM
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
and here is part of the team in front a (still standing) cherry tree very close to where George Washington grew up
One of my favorite houses was the home of another hero
And this window front just busted me up
After lunch, Ken, Shirley, and I went for an RP ride while my ma and bro went in the car to plant RP signs at every road leading into town. Saw alot of references to the founding fathers and other heros of the early days

Talked to a few people and more saw the signs. One guy even left a note on the car and came back for some “stuff” later. Considering it is Christmas, a decent day for RP
GO RON PAUL!!!
