Trevor Lyman Rocks!

Just a quick note about one of the greatest Ron Paul supporters, Trevor Lyman. Trevor is the guy who organized the two money bombs, raising something like $10 million for the Ron Paul presidential campaign. That's not all he did but that's what stands out most to me and probably others.

Basically, Lyman channeled lightning twice. He's doing some interesting stuff going forward. Along the lines of his earlier success, he's organizing a money bomb for congressional candidates: FreedomSlate08.com. My man Steven Vasquez is one of the candidates who's in on it. If it goes well we're hoping that the candidates endorsed by Ron Paul raise maybe $500K apiece. That would be a big deal. But even if it's only $50K each it's still a lot for our race.

The other interesting thing Lyman is working on (that I know of) is BreakTheMatrix.com. This is an attempt to overcome the problem of the mainstream media. I'm more optimistic about the chances of another money bomb, mainly because I think it's worked before where the BTM idea is a little more challenging. But I'm rooting for him on both.

I actually had the pleasure of talking with Trevor a few days ago. This is one of the neat things about Ron Paul. A regular guy like me can talk to people at the highest levels of the movement. I've had conversations with Lew Moore (RP campaign manager), Joe Becker (campaign attorney), Tom Lizardo (congressional chief of staff), and now Trevor Lyman.

What I loved about Lyman was his underlying nature. He's just a regular guy. He doesn't think he's anything special or that he knows more about things than anyone else. He still has that humility that is so lacking in others (including myself).

With a guy like Trevor Lyman, all of us in the Ron Paul movement should be hoping he channels lightning a few more times.
