Does everyone remember this blast from the past?

The YouTube video says 2012 but the song, if I remember correctly, was actually written for Ron Paul’s 2008 campaign and Aimee Allen even performed it at Ron Paul events.  It wouldn’t surprise me if the song was reused for his 2012 campaign.  I’m going to assume this video is from the 2008 campaign but again, I could be wrong.

(Ron Paul was huge amongst my friends in 2008, many of whom had previously been crazy about Dennis Kucinich and who later went equally crazy over Bernie Sanders, Mike Gravel, Marianne Williamson, Tulsi Gabbard, and RKF, Jr.  2008, of course, was before most people really understood what ‘too online’ meant and there was a general belief that having a lot of followers posting on message boards and on social media would translate into getting a lot of votes in a primary.  Needless to say, that didn’t quite turn out to be the case.)

Aimee Allen is currently the lead singer for The Interrupters.

Happy Labor Day!

Enjoy!
