Turns out the report is FALSE.  Ron Paul has NOT declared.  This was a self-aggrandizing stunt report pulled by a questionable Paul activist named Matt Collins.

Paulistas should trust BUT VERIFY.  And not just propagate whatever nonsense comes across the wire without using some discretion.

There are a lot of COINTELPRO agents and operatives out there, a lot of shills and a lot of just plain old patriots for profit.
