Say no to infinite executive power:

I donated a small amount to the Obama campaign earlier this year. I received a call from Washington State’s Obama headquarters looking for another contribution. They first asked if he could count on my support. I told them that he could not until he advocated dismantling the federal reserve or else a return to a gold standard.

She said she was very confused, since her list named me as a supporter. I told her that I had in fact donated to his campaign in the past and that he seemed like a superior candidate to McCain, but that I wanted to support a candidate who believed in shrinking the role of the federal government, a candidate like Ron Paul. I wished his campaign the best.

She thanked me for support and we then ended the call.

It was a direct and honest conversation. It felt great!
