Doug Wead was highly influential in Bush I winning the Iowa straw poll and is now working for Ron Paul in that position.
But, most of all, he is a charismatic and compelling orator who lays out the case for Ron Paul with the refrain "I am standing up for Ron Paul because he stood up for me..."
At the 8:30 mark he tells you EXACTLY why even the innocent -- maybe particularly the innocent -- should be concerned about US government overreach and surveillance. In another part of the speech he tells you why and how big business ENCOURAGES big government as a way to bankrupt upstart small businesses (because the same regulations which form a barrier to entry and a trivial cost to big businesses will bankrupt small businesses).
If you want a shot in the arm, this is it. If you just want to watch a highly effective speaker in top form, watch this. Watch this regardless of your political affiliation, please...do yourself that favor.
