NPR's "Who are Ron Paul's supporters" gets > 3000 comments

When NPR asked Who are Ron Paul's supporters?, little did they know that over 3000 people would respond saying who they are and why they like Ron Paul. (Neither did I).

Today someone on Ron Paul Forums saw this and thought of having a separate site for this idea. They've registered the domain WeAreRonPaul.com.

From the relevant thread on the forum:
"Now we're turning this idea into a website! www.WeAreRonPaul.com will have information about US, written BY us! No more will we have to be classified as "fringe internet supporters". Here's a chance to direct people to a site where Ron Paul supporters can tell their own stories!

This site will be fully searchable, so new people can narrow down searches to find people of the same age/location, or to read about a certain issue! And that's really where the site shines. If you want to read what REAL TEACHERS think about Ron Paul's stance about the Department of Education, YOU'LL BE ABLE TO DO THAT! If you want to read what ACTUAL TROOPS are saying about Ron Paul's foriegn policy, YOU'LL BE ABLE TO DO THAT! Don't leave it up to the media to say what people are saying, LET'S SAY IT OURSELVES!"

Let's wait and see what comes out of it. I'm blogging this even before it's taken off because you get a chance to see how grassroots efforts happen in real time.
