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.

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.

I absolutely fell in love with this film. Ron Paul is America's leading voice for limited constitutional government, low taxes, free markets, and a return to sound monetary policies. You know the finances are so bad, and they're getting much worse because of the way they're spending money, running up the debt. I think the financial crisis is getting so much worse. Interest rates are going up. I think that's a major, major problem we face. Congressman Ron Paul has continued to run his Congressional office in a frugal manner, and was able to return more than $100,000 from his allotted office budget to the Treasury this year, an increase over the $90,000 returned last year.

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!

I can see why this movie was shown at so many theaters! Very well done and it brought back so many memories. I recommend for anyone to get an accurate view of the US you live in today concerning campaigns, and media watch this movie! So many wonderful people came together to work hard for their values. I hope for a sequel because there was much left out, and much left to happen. I also love how many interviews with just regular people there were. They did a great job not making it about a popularity contest. I am so glad the creators have made the DVD's available at such a low cost especially to those who want to pass it out to friends or even to the public. I would have liked to have seen at least a mention of Operation: Live free or Die, the movement that brought over 500 people to New Hampshire to campaign for Ron Paul from November of 2007 till after the primary on January 8th. Great work, and great movie!
