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.

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

This is the perfect movie to watch for those of us who have at one time felt as if we know something is wrong with the direction our country seems to be headed, but do not think that our one little voice can have much of an impact. I have personally met or know some of the people featured and the movie does a wonderful job in showing their efforts and integrity. From my own personal experience, this movie encapsulates and accurately depicts the efforts and spirit of the efforts behind the grassroots movement also known as the LOVE-OLUTION. A must see for anyone who has ever tried to get an idea across and just needs to know there are others out there doing the same thing and there are those that truly inspire just by their actions.

This film was incredibly well made. It looks at the 2008 Ron Paul presidential run from the viewpoint of a die hard supporter. Sure RP ended up losing, and the media drug him through the dirt...but a group saw through the trash and came to understand Liberty in its purest form of Constitutional limited government. Chris Rye does a great job showing the spark that kindled a fire for freedom in the hearts of millions.Ron's story is an inspiring one; he alone stood by his word and ideals during the campaign (and entire political career: never voting to raise taxes, never voting for war, never voting for more regulation, never voting against the Constitution). He talked sense and truth during the debates and was HECKLED by other candidates for speaking out against the bloodbath known as the Iraq War. Ron Paul has the fire and passion of a true American. Big Government, Big Business, WATCH YOUR BACKS!

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!
