August 22, 2007

Not all the media are biased. A local newspaper in New Hampshire
reported on an annual GOP bbq in the town of Hollis. It could be
called "the Ron Paul show,"they said, since the far bigger crowd,
than usual, consisted mostly of our supporters. One volunteer even
rented an airplane and flew a wonderful sign around the sky.
What great, creative, self-starting people I'm meeting, at every stop,
all of them united by a love of America and American freedom.

Politics is usually about division. But this campaign is just
the opposite. Not only are our volunteers a bunch of happy warriors,
but they also practice the virtues of tolerance and peace, just as
they want the nation to do.

The other day, the state chairman of an opposing campaign
(not in New Hampshire!), angrily tore a sign out of one of
our supporter's hands and trashed it. Different people with
different beliefs might have responded differently. But our people,
though they'd been standing in the rain all day, applied the
Golden Rule. It's because of quiet heroes that I know we can
change this country.

A reporter in New Hampshire told me this story about Florida:
she had seen the same three supporters working every day passing
out our literature, and so decided to interview them. She was
startled to discover that one was a Republican, one was a Democrat,
and one was an Independent. But I wasn't.

Freedom brings us all together. We can all agree on leaving
people alone to plan and live their own lives, rather than
trying to force them to obey at the point of a gun, as runaway
government does. Instead of clawing at each other via the
warfare-welfare state, people under liberty can cooperate in
a unity of diversity.

There is no need to use government to threaten others who
have different standards, or to be threatened by them.
Looking to our Founders, our traditions, and the Constitution,
we can build, in peaceful cooperation, a free and prosperous society.

At a talk show in Nashua, New Hampshire, the host asked me about
the fair tax. Well, I agree on getting rid of the IRS, I told her,
but I want to replace it with nothing, not another tax. But let's
not forget the inflation tax, I said.

This was something she had never considered, but after I talked
about the depreciation of our dollar by the Federal Reserve,
its creation of artificial booms and busts, and its bailouts of
the big banks and Wall Street firms, to the detriment of the average
person, she loved it. That is another tax, she agreed, a hidden and
particularly vicious tax.

They try to tell us that the money issue is boring or irrelevant.
In fact, it is the very pith of our social lives, and morally,
Constitutionally, and economically, the central bank is a disaster.
Thanks to the work of this movement, Americans are starting to
understand what has been hidden from them for so long:that we have
a right to sound and honest money, not to a dollar debauched for
the special interests.

Unconstitutional government has created a war crisis, a financial
crisis, a dollar crisis, and a freedom crisis. But we don't have
to take it. We don't have to passively accept more dead soldiers,
a lower standard of living, rising prices, a national ID,
eavesdropping on our emails and phone calls, and all the rest.

We can return to first principles, and build the brightest,
most brilliant future any people on earth has ever aspired to.
Help me teach this lesson. Help me campaign all over this country,
in cooperation with our huge and growing volunteer army. Help me
show that change is not only possible, but also essential.
Please,make your most generous contribution to this campaign
for a Constitutional presidency worthy of our people.

Ron Paul Library, High Risk Spending

Ron Paul Library, High Risk Spending

 In the time that the GAO list has existed, there have been 33 additions and a mere 18 removals, including two this year. Only when the people demand the federal government stop trying to meet any and all demands, and instead return to a constitutionally limited republic, will the list of programs subject to waste, fraud and abuse be dramatically reduced. While government will never be perfect, a limited government is far more able to not only identify problems, but to actually correct them.

Ron Paul Library, As Recess Begins, Spending Spree Continues

Ron Paul Library, As Recess Begins, Spending Spree Continues

The federal government has a spending problem. Each year our current accounts balance gets worse and worse, and the amount of foreign held government debt has skyrocketed. Both Republicans and Democrats; conservatives, liberals and moderates, indeed nearly every single-member of the Washington political establishment, is addicted to one form of federal spending or another.

Only when the American people absolutely demand that the spending spree be stopped, will their representatives in Washington stop using this issue as a political football to score public relations points, and finally face-up to the fact that we are a nation in a very precarious financial position, which demands real spending cuts in order to avoid bankrupting our next generation.
