Dear Friends: We are just over two weeks away from our eighth Ron Paul Institute Washington Conference. We originally planned in 2016 to take the show on the road to DC because that was the center of the war machine. We wanted to make our statement on their front doorstep - both a conference and a demonstration at the same time - and I still believe it is the right thing to do. We must be seen! Our DC conference in particular is where we - all of us - re-charge our batteries with the renewed realization that we are not alone. That the Ron Paul Movement is far from over, but in fact continues to grow and thrive! Last year I asked our audience in DC how many were attending a Ron Paul Institute conference for the first time and I would estimate 40 percent of the audience raised their hands! That despite the coming and going of the Ron Paul campaigns and even the "Tea Party" movement more than a decade ago. Here's a fact: Ours is a growing movement - and it grows larger each time the uniparty in DC takes us further down the road to war and poverty. We are all about Peace and Prosperity! The more they fail, the more we grow. But we MUST connect with each other! When we connect we encourage each other. That is how you grow a movement. Everyone needs encouragement. Even Ron Paul. So here is our line-up for this year - MAN is it solid!
