De-Federalizing Government with Dr. Ron Paul

In what I felt to be an eerie coincidence, Jay Leno On the Tonite Show October 30thasked Ron Paul “What about roads, libraries, etc” right before the Sex Pistols sang about Anarchy … It seems that those untrained in the scientific philosophy that drives Ron Paul (and many libertarians) is not always understood by those used to the large size of government.

An issue which concerns many of those who are working for freedom thru the Ron Paul campaign is that of defederalizing government to bring it back into alignment with the Constitution and ensure transparency. Application of Dr. Paul’s Political-Science (much like his practice as a doctor) could result in some of these actions upon the body-politic:

1) Examination: A doctor will look at the major structures of the body – skeletal, muscular, lymph nodes, etc. Ron Paul is not in favor of anarchy nor would a good doctor attempt to remove any necessary portions of a patient’s body imperative to sustain life!

2) Re-hab: It appears from recent speeched that Doctor Paul will attempt to wean the body-politic addictions to spending rather than force a cold-turkey recovery. That’s good news for those concerned about the social security check or medicare program!

3) Take X-rays: Government should not hide behind closed doors. The Federal Reserve, Executive privileges, Signing regional treaties… there seems to be a lack of transparency in the current government and the people would like to know what’s going on inside. Any dark spots should have some bright light shone upon them immediately!

4) Surgery: The good doctor will perform emergency surgery to remove only the most dangerous and unnecessary and bloated portions of government in the short-term which will not threaten the life of the body-politic.

5) Amputation: End the war in Iraq now, bring the troops home. The urge to protect our “homeland” has resulted in a state where we are less secure than before 9-11.

6) Recommend Exercise: Any good doctor knows he or she cannot force the patient to exercise, even when the patent’s life is in danger.  Ron Paul supporters need to know that this is just the beginning and they will be called upon to implement local solutions in their own communities once he is elected.

 Drastically reducing the size and scope of the Federal Government - that’s going to take a heck of a lot of work, advocacy, and understanding from all facets of the body-politic in order to make this work so the system is strong again. The doctor can’t do it all for us so we have to take the responsibility.

Wisconsin is a state where we feel we are over-taxed and many of us feel we are over-weight…  I for one have got to start exercising in order to loose that beer-belly.

Military Contributions in 2008 Presidential Campaign:

Ron Paul is currently the highest recipient of political contributions from individual members of America’s military. Wow.

Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton has become the highest recipient of political contributions from America’s weapons’ manufacturers. Now that’s interesting, Hillary Clinton will expand the role of government and possibly continue Bush’s US imperialism.

a Message from Ron Paul

October 18, 2007

Message from Ron Paul

The other day, my old sparring partner in so many Congressional committee hearings, Alan Greenspan, was on the Fox Business Channel. After Alan promoted his new book, the reporter asked if we really needed a central bank. Greenspan looked stunned, and then said that was a good question; he actually talked about fiat money vs. a gold standard. Now, the ex-Fed chairman is not about to endorse our sound monetary policy, but you know our Revolution is working when such a question is asked in the mainstream media, and this powerful man gives such an answer.

You and I are reopening a whole host of questions that the establishment thought it had closed off forever: on war, on taxes and spending, on inflation and gold, and on the rule of law and our Constitution.

A few years ago, I asked a famous conservative columnist a question. What did he think about the prospects for a restored Robert Taft wing of the Republican party? He thought I was joking. As you know, I was not.

After all the aggressive wars, the assaults on our privacy and civil liberties, the oppressive taxation, and the crazed spending and deficits, I believe that many Republican voters are ready to return to our roots. And the big boys feel it too. It is no coincidence that the Republican National Committee invited me to a fundraising dinner involving only “top-tier candidates.”

Some of the opposition claims that I am not a “real Republican,” whereas I am the only one in the race. And our campaign is registering new Republican voters by the boatload. None of my opponents is doing anything approaching that.

Of course, they pooh-pooh our success. “He’s just registering Democrats and Independents and people who have never voted before.” Well, yes. It’s called growth. We are laying the groundwork for the primaries.

All over America, our support is wide and deep and growing, and young people are joining like never before. After the Dearborn debate, I went to the University of Michigan for a rally. 2,000 students turned out, something that has happened to no other candidate this year.

The crowd cheered all our ideas, but especially our opposition to the Federal Reserve, and our support for real money of gold and silver, as the Constitution mandates, instead of prosperity-wrecking fiat money. American politics hasn’t seen anything like this in many decades. It is truly revolutionary.

But time is getting short. We must do massive radio and TV advertising, open many small offices (three in just South Carolina the other day), staff them, pay all the bills, and turn out our vote with massive organizational and phone-bank efforts.

As you know, the blackout is ending; our campaign is starting to get mainstream media attention, thanks to growing donations and volunteers. And contributions are the key to more attention, and to our being able to do the actual work of victory. Good news: our recent green-eyeshade analysis of all the candidates’ net finances, which got so much press attention, shows our campaign as one of only three in the top-tier.

But we must keep moving up, and the Iowa caucuses are now on January 3rd. The New Hampshire primary may be in early December!

As always, everything depends on you. Please, make the most generous donation you can https://www.ronpaul2008.com/donate/ as soon as you can. I need your help so badly.

The other day, an 8-year-old boy handed me a small white envelope. It contained the $4.00 he had saved from his allowance, as a donation to our campaign. I can’t tell you how seriously I take my responsibility to work hard, and spend frugally and effectively, to be worthy of his support, and yours.

Please help me keep working, even harder and more effectively, for all we believe in. Without you, I’d have to pack it in. Donate now https://www.ronpaul2008.com/donate/ .  We have more than an election to win. We have a country to save.

Sincerely,

Ron Paul

a Cool Slice of Pizza for Ron Paul !

Have a Slice!

Mark Belling says Ron Paul is a “Whack Job”

Mark Belling is a Milwaukee Wisconsin talk radio jock (and a guest host of the Rush Limbaugh show) who recently declared Republican Candidate for President Ron Paul as a ”whack job” and then went on to elaborate his support for Rudy Giuliani. It was pretty hilarious to hear Belling predict that conservative Christians are so concerned with the war on terror that they will overlook Rudy’s record on issues which make Christians sick to their stomach.

Nobody’s perfect, let’s argue whether or not some types of imperfection are preferable to other types. I’ll take Paul’s side and agree that extreme cuts in government are preferable to the maintenance of the current size of government due to the wars.

I guess the real question is WHO is the real whack-job; those who dare use the unfortunate events of 9-11 to grow this US Emire or those who are prepared to go back to the constitutional size of the Federal government?

Add this ignorant position and slur upon Ron Paul to the list (is there a list now?) of Belling’s brash statements driven by the man’s conviction that he is always correct.

Time has a way of unravelling things and perhaps he’ll warm up to the idea of limited government someday!

Viva La Revolution!

I Want to Believe.

I want to believe the things I was taught about our country… that the United States was founded upon great and noble principles such as freedom and liberty and these principles were worth dying for then and are still worth fighting to restore.

I want to believe in the United States Constitution… that this document is as relevant today as it was when it was written, and that our elected leaders understand it’s meaning when they take a solemn oath to follow the Constitution.

I want to believe in solutions without government… that solutions to our problems will never be found in Washington, that we do not need the Federal government to save for our retirement, protect the environment, define what marriage is, or protect us from ourselves or the boogey-man.

 I’m not a religious person, however:
I want to believe that freedom comes from a higher power… that there is a higher power than any government – whether you call it God or Jesus or Buddah or Allah or a spaghetti monster or simply faith in the power of LOVE.

I want to believe that anyone can be president… that politicians, big corporations and the media are not owned and controlled by an elite class of people who decide what we hear and see in our daily lives. 

I want to believe that Ron Paul will be the next president of the United States of America…

We may be witnessing History in the making.

Ron Paul is Fearless

Ron Paul has changed the debate in this country. His success to date proves that more and more Americans of the USA are sick and tired of business-as-usual neoconservative doubletalk which fails to perform on the platform of Limited Government which the GOP was founded upon. I for one refuse to give up. Anything this campaign does is a huge success and build a path to victory either in 2008 or for future libertarian-Republican minded candidates. This base which Ron Paul builds today can only grow stronger. Mark this historical event as it will becomes apparent that the US is on the operating table and needs Dr. Paul to perform emergency services.

What other candidate can inspire such dedication from his supporters?  What other candidate is so grounded in the Constitution? Who else is the real deal and not the product of focus groups and polls? This is still America and anything can happen.

“Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart,
And you’ll never walk alone…….
You’ll never walk alone.”

Ron Paul is going to surprise you!

Ron’s Revolution – Could Dr. Paul really surprise us all? (renamed from ‘Ron Paul is going to surprise you’) – By Dave Kopel

This weekend, I attended and spoke at the Second Amendment Foundation’s annual Gun Rights Policy Conference… What I saw and heard there changed my mind about the viability of Ron Paul’s presidential candidacy; Paul is going to far outperform the expectations laid out for him… Like the Ronald Reagan message … the Ron Paul message is fundamentally positive. There may be some anger about the depredations of huge and aggressive government, but the campaign’s theme is “Hope for America” and its premise is that the American people are good people who can achieve the best for themselves, their families, their community, and their nation when the federal government gets out of the way and stops behaving like a helicopter mother.
