Here’s a funny little mashing of two completely different public personalities. <\/p>\n

Here’s a frame shot of the official website for Paul Revere & the Raiders<\/a><\/strong> – Northwest rock and roll, video pioneers, and first successful rock and roll band for Columbia Records, the world’s largest record label of the 1960s.<\/p>\n

\"Paul<\/p>\n

Now, here’s a frame shot of the webpage for Ron Paul’s Raiders<\/a><\/strong>. Ron Paul<\/strong> was the unsuccessful libertarian, independent-minded Republican candidate for the United States, and this organization was a grass-roots effort to get him elected.<\/p>\n

\"Ron<\/p>\n

As you might have heard, Ron Paul didn’t win the Republican nomination, but he did inspire a lot of people with a very fresh outlook on American politics. I applaud the spirit of his candidacy that encouraged accountability in public service, and fiscal conservatism. With any luck, I hope such efforts will inspire a more responsible generation of politicians.<\/p>\n

Paul Revere on the hand, continues to perform all year around. He’s a semi-regular at Branson, and also currently has gigs lined up at Las Vegas, Orlando, and Tunica.<\/p>\n

More than just a mere entertainer, Paul also serves as on the board of directors of Ride To The Wall Foundation<\/a><\/strong>, a non-profit foundation that raises money for various veteran’s outreach programs.<\/p>\n

So we’ve got two Pauls – an iconic entertainer that does outreach for veteran’s groups, and a politician that has inspired many folks to become political.<\/p>\n

As far as I know, only one of these guys performed LOUIE LOUIE, but I could be wrong….<\/p>\n
