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.

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.

SANTA FE, NM- July 6, 2009 – Peace & Liberty activist and Iraq war veteran, Adam Kokesh, announces bid for congressional seat in New Mexico’s Third Congressional District as announcement brings in over $25,000 in a single day despite servers being overwhelmed and crashing. Signs spring up all over the district urging people to join the “Kokesh r3VOLution.”

Adam Kokesh announced at the event, “Celebrate American r3VOLution” that he would seek a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives. Kokesh referenced Thomas Paine’s “The Crisis” as he announced, “‘These are the times that try men’s souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country . . . Tyranny, like , is not easily conquered.’ So began the great American tradition of winter soldiering. I have decided that for myself, the greatest way to continue that tradition is to run for Congress to represent New Mexico’s Third Congressional District.”

Congressman Ron Paul (R-TX) stood his ground and joined the twenty-or-so other Republicans that have decided to vote with the House Democrats in favor of a non-binding Iraq resolution that condemns President Bush’s troop surge.

Speaking of Bush, Congressman Paul was very straight-forward in his displeasure for Bush’s “demented philosophy of conquest.” Here is a portion of his floor speech:

RON PAUL: “In recent decades, our policies have been driven by neoconservative empire radicalism; profiteering in the military industrial complex; misplaced do-good internationalism; mercantilistic notions regarding the need to control natural resources; and blind loyalty to various governments in the Middle East.”

You can add Ron Paul’s name to the small list of the few level-headed Republicans left in Congress.

Is the government we have today what the founders had in mind?

Everyone in government takes an oath to uphold the Constitution, but few do so. Beginning with John Adams, and proceeding to Abraham Lincoln, Woodrow Wilson, and George W. Bush, congress has enacted and the President has signed laws that have criminalized political speech, suspended Habeas Corpus, compelled support for war, forbade the freedom of contract, allowed the government to spy on Americans without a search warrant, and use tax payer dollars to shore up failing private banks.

All of this legislation is so obviously in conflict with the plain words of the Constitution, that one wonders how Congress gets away with it.

The truth is, that the Constitution grants Congress 17 specific delegated powers, and commands in the 9th and 10th Amendments, that the powers not articulated and thus not delegated by the Constitution to the Congress, must be reserved to the states and the people. What’s more, Congress can only use it’s delegated powers to legislate for what we call the general welfare. Meaning it cannot spend tax dollars on individuals or selected groups, but only for all of us. And, Congress cannot deny the equal protection of the laws, thus, it must treat similarly situated entities in a similar manner.

It is clear that the framers wrote a constitution, as a result of which, contracts would be enforced, risk would be real, choices would be free and have consequences, and private property would be sacrosanct.

The $700 billion dollar bailout of large banks that Congress recently enacted runs afoul of virtually all these constitutional principles.

Do the people we send to the federal government, recognize any limits on Congress’ power to legislate?

Here’s my opinion. The don’t recognize limits, on Congress’ power to legislate. The air you breathe, the water you drink, the size of your toilet tank, the water pressure in your shower, the subjects your children study in school, the manner in which your physician treats you when you are ill, the speed you drive your car, what you can drink before you get in the car, all of these are regulated by the Congress.

Congress has written over 4,000 criminal laws, that make up over one million pages of text. And, the law presumes that we understand all of it.

Does the Congress recognize any limits on it’s ability to legislate whatever it wants? Yes, whatever it can get away with.

You Say You Want A Revolution?

Congressman John Hall (D-NY) – conversation at the DNC on 16th Street Mall. Too bad one of your beautiful staffers had to drag you away. I believe that you meant what you said and it made me feel a little better. But the voting record in Congress is on paper……..I’m pretty sure that you have a good record – but too many of your colleagues let humanity down.

from Steve:
The rally last night was great! They played the track over the P.A. prior to the rally and I got to hand Mr. Nader the gift of a CD while he autographed our books. We really felt like part of American influence for the first time ever. Ralph’s speeches are very empowering, especially in-person. The TV show you are referring to, (i believe) was the Mike Douglas Show, which had Ralph on with John and Yoko. OK here goes:
John, Paul, George, Ringo, Apple, Yoko, Lennon, McCartney, Ono, Martin, Peace, Love, British Invasion, Liverpool, Cavern Club, The Quarry Men, Tony Sheridan, Stuart Sutcliffe, Pete Best, EMI, Ed Sullivan, Abbey Road, Sgt. Pepper’s, War Is Over, Give Peace A Chance… OK i’m drawing a blank… Hope this helps!

I saw the flavor aide at the colorado state university party with the chanting and so forth, quite an embarrassment.
