Presidential Candidate Ron Paul has won the hearts of many with his message of personal liberty, sound money, non-interventionist foreign policy, and limited government. Congressman Ron Paul earned his nickname as Dr. No for voting against unconstitutional bills (even if it meant voting alone) during his 10 terms (currently in the 10th term) as a Representative. His voting record is impeccable. His official campaign website, ronpaul2008.com , gives the following description of the obstetrics/gynecology specialists’ voting record.
He has never voted to raise taxes.
He has never voted for an unbalanced budget.
He has never voted for a federal restriction on gun ownership.
He has never voted to raise congressional pay.
He has never taken a government-paid junket.
He has never voted to increase the power of the executive branch.
He voted against the Patriot Act.
He voted against regulating the Internet.
He voted against the Iraq war.
He does not participate in the lucrative congressional pension program.
He returns a portion of his annual congressional office budget to the U.S. treasury every year.
Congressman Paul introduces numerous pieces of substantive legislation each year, probably more than any single member of Congress.
Congressman Ron Paul writes a weekly column called Texas Straight Talk available at http://www.house.gov/paul/ . He is the author of several books including Gold, Peace, and Prosperity; Challenge to Liberty; Freedom Under Siege; Ten Myths About Paper Money; The Case for Gold; and A Foreign Policy of Freedom: ‘Peace, Commerce, Honest Friendship’. Ron Paul is the Distinguished Counselor to the Ludwig Von Mises Institute.
Ron Paul’s position is easy to discover since he has written many articles on various political and economic issues. He has written articles explaining why socialized health care is bad, why the FED and the IRS are unconstitutional, and why national ID cards infringe on states’ rights and the privacy of citizens. Many of his articles are archived at http://ronpaullibrary.org and http://www.lewrockwell.com/paul/paul-arch.html .
Ron Paul is a true libertarian who does not advocate anarchy (as some “libertarians”) and who opposes abortion. He is a member of the Republican Liberty Caucus and the Libertarians For Life.
I encourage every liberty loving American to support Ron Paul in his bid for the presidential office.
“Time is short but our course of action should be clear. Resistance to illegal and unconstitutional usurpation of our rights is required. Each of us must choose which course of action we should take—education, conventional political action, or even peaceful civil disobedience, to bring about the necessary changes.” — Ron Paul, In the Name of Patriotism (Who are the Patriots?)
