A closer look at Ron Paul

If you haven’t been to Wikipedia and read their article on Ron Paul, you should do so, right now. This guy is sharp, he’s humble, and he is according to both his own party members as well as his political opponents, an excellent example of what a congressman should be.

Some of the things that stood out to me about Ron Paul:

• He is strongly pro life (something very few presidential candidates can claim in this election)
• He has never voted for a tax increase.
• He has never voted for a congressional pay raise.
• He does not participate in the Congressional pension (calling it immoral).
• He sometimes spends three to four days a week in his district addressing constituents’ concerns, often accompanied by one of his 17 grandchildren.
• Paul’s Congressional office returns money to the government each year; in 2000, the sum returned was $50,000

So, if you haven’t done so, it may be time for you to take a look at Ron Paul, because he’s running for President, and so far, he has my vote.

1. Thanks for the post. So far he has my vote too. Have you seen some of his writings that are available online? There are many of ‘em… quite informative and refreshing to see such honesty and intelligence from a politician.

2. Why does Ron Paul want to repeal the Federal Reserve Act and abolish the Federal Reserve system?

4. I’m not very politically inclined, but I keep hearing good things about Ron Paul from other bloggers. I’ve heard nothing about him in major media (although that might not indicate anything other than that I live under a rock), but maybe he deserves a closer look…

5. I am 70 yrs old and have not found a good Candidate running for the most part of my life, until I heard Ron Paul.
   Ron Paul has definately appeared at the right time! America is at the crossroads (as I have seen better days)and for the most part our younger generation knows that if we don’t get someone for president in 2008 that will make some drastic changes. We will mot be a sovereign nation anymore.
   God bless Ron Paul and he gets our votes.
