Topics covered: economy, abortion, immigration, stem cell research, Iraq war, Iran, Afghanistan, foreign policy, nation building, the monetary system and destruction of the dollar, 911-what he would have done different, civil liberties, open government and privacy, ethics in government, marijuana and the war on drugs-legalization, Alternative energies (ethanol, hemp, solar, nuclear)-free market solutions, health care, homeschooling and private education, corrupt government, the primary system

On the issues:
IRAQ WAR: Only Republican member of Congress to vote against war in 2002 and would withdraw all U.S. troops in three to six months.

IMMIGRATION REFORM: Supports strengthening borders with more federal patrols and enforcing laws against employers who hire illegal aliens. Opposes guest worker or any form of amnesty to the 12 million people who got here illegally.

HEALTH CARE: Supports free market solutions such as health savings accounts and transitioning a refundable tax credit so more families can afford health-care coverage; voted to let citizens buy and bring cheaper drugs from Canada into the U.S.

EDUCATION: Voted against No Child Left Behind; supports $3,000 tax credit for families who participate in school choice. Opposes school vouchers as philosophically that means other taxpayers are subsidizing another family’s schooling. He supports home schooling.

FEDERAL BUDGET/TAXES: During 19-year congressional career, Paul said he’s never voted for a bill to raise taxes and voted against most federal budget spending bills. Would dismantle the Internal Revenue Service, repeal the federal income tax and is open to a national sales tax in its place, but only if the Congress made deep cuts in federal spending first.

ABORTION: Has an anti-abortion voting record, but opposes a constitutional amendment to ban abortion and instead favors letting states restrict the procedure as they see fit. Urges supporters to contend the federal judiciary that outlaws abortion restrictions lacks jurisdiction to take up the issue.

GLOBAL WARMING: Restrictions on pollution should be done at the state rather than federal level. He favors federal tax credits for research of alternative energy sources and says expansion of nuclear power is a “safe, clean” way to cut back use of fossil fuels.

GAY MARRIAGE: Would let the states set restrictions on marriage and voted against federal Defense of Marriage Act in 2004. Says marriage is a religious institution, but would not oppose states issuing licenses that recognized the union of same-sex partners.

STEM-CELL RESEARCH FUNDING: Supports expansion of research, but opposes federal funding for it.

President Gloria Arroyo to Run for Congress in the 2010 elections ABS-CBN

admin — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 18:36:16 +0000

I hope it is just a joke here. Why would a leader of a Country run for House and Senate here. Arroyo is not Hillary Clinton here. Arroyo was not the First lady of the Philippines she was the president. Also I never seen Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, George HW Bush, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush run for congress after their presidential terms are up. Carter, Bush Family and Clinton dream of running a charity after their terms are up. In Reagans Case he suffered Alseimers after he left office.

Ron Paul for President The Revolution Sweeps Across America

Ron Paul Draws Large Enthusiastic Crowds in San Diego

With more than one million votes (five times more than Rudy Giuliani), and nearly $5 million left over from a remarkable $35 million fund-raising campaign, Ron Paul can hardly be ignored by GOP leaders.

Ron Paul is leading a revolution in defense of the United States Constitution with an exemplary, unparalleled voting record in Congress supporting;

1) Smaller Government: eliminate the IRS and income taxes
2) Abolish the Federal Reserve: stop printing money and tinkering with interest rates
3) Liberty & Justice: the fundamental liberties guaranteed all Americans in The Constitution
4) Bring the Troops Home: focus on national defense rather than policing the world

His recent book, The Revolution: A Manifesto immediately jumped to #1 on Amazon.com sales and also recently topped The New York Times Best Seller list, the preeminent list of best-selling books in the United States.

Ron Paul’s admirers are looking for truth, to go back to the basics, and to go back to The Constitution.

While other candidates such as Mitt Romney, Mike Huckabee, Rudy Giuliani, and John Edwards have dropped out of the 2008 election race, Ron Paul continues on, defending The Constitution, as Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and John McCain bicker over their personal lives and typical politics.
