Long Beach Wakes Up to Ron Paul

Monday, August 20th, 2007

An open letter from Dr Ron Paul to all Americans who still enjoy life,liberty, & the pursuit of happiness.

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 that 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
(https://www.ronpaul2008.com/donate/) to this campaign for a Constitutional
presidency worthy of our people. Invest in freedom: for yourself, for your
family, for your future.

Sincerely,

Ron

Cheney, in 1994, Warning That An Invasion of Iraq Would Lead to ‘Quagmire’

Tuesday, August 14th, 2007

It’s not the first time that citizen “investigative journalists” have uncovered some embarrassing, or telling, nugget from the past that apparently remained buried for years. But it has happened again with the posting of a now wildly popular video on YouTube that shows Dick Cheney explaining in 1994 that trying to take over Iraq would be a “bad idea” and lead to a “quagmire.”

Fox News Attempts To Smear Ron Paul After Debate

Monday, August 6th, 2007

Ron Paul appeared on Fox News yesterday following the Republican debate in Iowa to discuss a number of issues, including the Texas Congressman’s association with Alex Jones, in what was an apparent attempt by Fox to smear the presidential hopeful.

The Texas Congressman was asked directly about his association with Alex Jones as the host insinuated such a connection undermines Paul’s credibility. Paul has been a regular guest on the Alex Jones Show for years.
