RIP Ron Smith

I originally posted this as a comment on an article I read on Ron Smith's death and his support of Ron Paul, but felt the need to share it here:

I grew up in Baltimore listening to Ron Smith. He was pessimistic when it came to Ron Paul's chances, but knew Ron Paul was right on most of the issues that we face today. Smith knew that the establishment would fight tooth and nail to disregard and outright discredit Ron Paul because he threatened the system where they hoarded both wealth and influence.

I'm saddened seeing Ron Smith pass away, knowing that one of his regrets was not seeing how the events of the next few years would unfold. He knew we were on the brink of something big, whether it be the downturn of America or its revival. I'm voting for Ron Paul this election because even if he does not win, and I hope he does, I want to leave this world knowing that I let my vote count during these troubling times. Sensible voices like Ron Smith's are still out there and need to be heard.
