Shameless Ron Paul Promotion!!
If you love your Nation, and you are concerned that it is in peril:
there is
only ONE Canidate that will, or can save it and us. There is only one
Man
that stands on the fore front against the enemies that seek to destroy
this
Nation. There is only one Peoples champion, regardless of the issue
He is
the only one. And he is:
Rep. Dr. Ronald Ernest Paul of the 14th congression district of
Texas. He
is a retired Air Force Captain. An actual medical doctor. A writer of
books
that would make the founders proud. He is the ONLY member of Congress
that
refuses the Congression Pension Plan. And he is not a ****ll for the
system.
Vote for Ron Paul; for your, your childrens, and your Nations Future.
Ron Paul for President 2008!!

http://www.ronpaul2008.com/issues/border-security-and-immigration-reform/
Border Security and Immigration Reform
The talk must stop. We must secure our borders now. A nation without
secure
borders is no nation at all. It makes no sense to fight terrorists
abroad
when our own front door is left unlocked. This is my six point plan:
* Physically secure our borders and coastlines. We must do
whatever it
takes to control entry into our country before we undertake
complicated
immigration reform proposals.
* Enforce visa rules. Immigration officials must track visa
holders and
de****t anyone who overstays their visa or otherwise violates U.S.
law. This
is especially im****tant when we recall that a number of 9/11
terrorists had
expired visas.
* No amnesty. Estimates suggest that 10 to 20 million people are
in our
country illegally. That's a lot of people to reward for breaking our
laws.
* No welfare for illegal aliens. Americans have welcomed
immigrants who
seek op****tunity, work hard, and play by the rules. But taxpayers
should
not pay for illegal immigrants who use hospitals, clinics, schools,
roads,
and social services.
* End birthright citizen****p. As long as illegal immigrants know
their
children born here will be citizens, the incentive to enter the U.S.
illegally will remain strong.
* Pass true immigration reform. The current system is incoherent
and
unfair. But current reform proposals would allow up to 60 million
more
immigrants into our country, according to the Heritage Foundation.
This is
insanity. Legal immigrants from all countries should face the same
rules
and waiting periods.

Ron Paul 2008 > Issues > American Independence and Sovereignty
http://www.ronpaul2008.com/issues/american-independence-and-sovereignty/
American Independence and Sovereignty
So called free trade deals and world governmental organizations like
the
International Criminal Court (ICC), NAFTA, GATT, WTO, and CAFTA are a
threat
to our independence as a nation. They transfer power from our
government to
unelected foreign elites.
The ICC wants to try our soldiers as war criminals. Both the WTO and
CAFTA
could force Americans to get a doctor's prescription to take herbs
and
vitamins. Alternative treatments could be banned.
The WTO has forced Congress to change our laws, yet we still face
trade
wars. Today, France is threatening to have U.S. goods taxed
throughout
Europe. If anything, the WTO makes trade relations worse by giving
foreign
competitors a new way to attack U.S. jobs.
NAFTA's superhighway is just one part of a plan to erase the borders
between
the U.S. and Mexico, called the North American Union. This spawn of
powerful
special interests, would create a single nation out of Canada, the
U.S. and
Mexico, with a new unelected bureaucracy and money system. Forget
about
controlling immigration under this scheme.
And a free America, with limited, constitutional government, would be
gone
forever.
Let's not forget the UN. It wants to impose a direct tax on us. I
successfully fought this move in Congress last year, but if we are
going to
stop ongoing attempts of this world government body to tax us, we will
need
leader****p from the White House.
We must withdraw from any organizations and trade deals that infringe
upon
the freedom and independence of the United States of America.

Ron Paul 2008 > Issues > Debt and Taxes
http://www.ronpaul2008.com/issues/debt-and-taxes/
Debt and Taxes
Working Americans like lower taxes. So do I. Lower taxes benefit all
of us,
creating jobs and allowing us to make more decisions for ourselves
about our
lives.
Whether a tax cut reduces a single mother's payroll taxes by $40 a
month or
allows a business owner to save thousands in capital gains taxes and
hire
more employees, that tax cut is a good thing. Lower taxes allow more
spending, saving, and investing which helps the economy - that means
all of
us.
Real conservatives have always sup****ted low taxes and low spending.
But today, too many politicians and lobbyists are spending America
into
ruin. We are nine trillion dollars in debt as a nation. Our mounting
government debt endangers the financial future of our children and
grandchildren. If we don't cut spending now, higher taxes and
economic
disaster will be in their future - and yours.
In addition, the Federal Reserve, our central bank, fosters runaway
debt by
increasing the money supply - making each dollar in your pocket worth
less.
The Fed is a private bank run by unelected officials who are not
required to
be open or accountable to "we the people."
Worse, our economy and our very independence as a nation is
increasingly in
the hands of foreign governments such as China and Saudi Arabia,
because
their central banks also finance our runaway spending.
We cannot continue to allow private banks, wasteful agencies,
lobbyists,
cor****ations on welfare, and governments collecting foreign aid to
dictate
the size of our ballooning budget. We need a new method to prioritize
our
spending. It's called the Constitution of the United States.

Ron Paul 2008 > Issues > Education
http://www.ronpaul2008.com/issues/education/
Education
The federal government does not own our children. Yet we act as if it
does
by letting it decide when, how, and what our children will learn. We
have
turned their futures over to lobbyists and bureaucrats.
I sup****t giving educational control back to parents, who know their
children better than any politician in D.C. ever will.
The federal government has no constitutional authority to fund or
control
schools. I want to abolish the unconstitutional, wasteful Department
of
Education and return its functions to the states. By removing the
federal
subsidies that inflate costs, schools can be funded by local taxes,
and
parents and teachers can directly decide how best to allocate the
resources.
To help parents with the costs of schooling, I have introduced H.R.
1056,
the Family Education Freedom Act, in Congress. This bill would allow
parents
a tax credit of up to $5,000 (adjustable after 2007 for inflation)
per
student per year for the cost of attendance at an elementary and/or
secondary school. This includes private, parochial, religious, and
home
schools.
Another bill I have sponsored, H.R. 1059, allows full-time elementary
and
secondary teachers a $3,000 yearly tax credit, thus easing their
financial
burden and encouraging good teachers to stay in an underpaid
profession.
Many parents have already shown their desire to be free of federal
control
by either enrolling their children in private schools or homeschooling
them.
And students enrolled in these alternatives have consistently
performed
better and tested higher than those in state-run schools.
Years of centralized education have produced nothing but failure and
frustrated parents. We can resurrect our public school system if we
follow
the Constitution and end the federal education monopoly.

Ron Paul 2008 > Issues > Environment
http://www.ronpaul2008.com/issues/environment/
Environment
The federal government has proven itself untrustworthy with
environmental
policy by facilitating polluters, subsidizing logging in the National
Forests, and instituting one-size-fits-all approaches that too often
discriminate against those they are intended to help.
The key to sound environmental policy is respect for private property
rights. The strict enforcement of property rights corrects
environmental
wrongs while increasing the cost of polluting.
In a free market, no one is allowed to pollute his neighbor's land,
air, or
water. If your property is being damaged, you have every right to sue
the
polluter, and government should protect that right. After paying
damages,
the polluter's production and sale costs rise, making it unprofitable
to
continue doing business the same way. Currently, preemptive
regulations and
pay-to-pollute schemes favor those wealthy enough to perform the
regulatory
tap dance, while those who own the polluted land rarely receive a
quick or
just resolution to their problems.
In Congress, I have followed a constitutional approach to
environmental
action:
* I consistently vote against using tax dollars to subsidize
logging in
National Forests.
* I am a co-sponsor of legislation designed to encourage the
development
of alternative and sustainable energy. H.R. 550 extends the investment
tax
credit to solar energy property and qualified fuel cell property, and
H.R.
1772 provides tax credits for the installation of wind energy
property.
* Taxpayers for Common Sense named me a "Treasury Guardian" for my
work
against environmentally-harmful government spending and cor****ate
welfare.
* I am a member of the Congressional Green Scissors Coalition, a
bipartisan caucus devoted to ending taxpayer subsidies of projects
that harm
the environment for the benefit of special interests.
Individuals, businesses, localities, and states must be free to
negotiate
environmental standards. Those who depend on the land for their health
and
livelihood have the greatest incentive to be responsible stewards.

Ron Paul 2008 > Issues > The Second Amendment
http://www.ronpaul2008.com/issues/second-amendment/
The Second Amendment
I share our Founders' belief that in a free society each citizen must
have
the right to keep and bear arms. They ratified the Second Amendment
knowing
that this right is the guardian of every other right, and they all
would be
horrified by the proliferation of unconstitutional legislation that
prevents
law-abiding Americans from exercising this right.
I have always sup****ted the Second Amendment and these are some of the
bills
I have introduced in the current Congress to help restore respect for
it:
* H.R. 1096 includes provisions repealing the Brady Handgun
Violence
Prevention Act and the Federal Firearms License Reform Act of 1993,
two
invasive and unconstitutional bills.
* H.R. 1897 would end the ban on carrying a firearm in the
National Park
System, restoring Americans' ability to protect themselves in
potentially
hazardous situations.
* H.R. 3305 would allow pilots and specially assigned law
enforcement
personnel to carry firearms in order to protect airline passengers,
possibly
preventing future 9/11-style attacks.
* H.R. 1146 would end our member****p in the United Nations,
protecting
us from their attempts to tax our guns or disarm us entirely.
In the past, I introduced legislation to repeal the so-called
"assault
weapons" ban before its 2004 sunset, and I will oppose any attempts
to
reinstate it.
I also recently opposed H.R. 2640, which would allow government-
appointed
psychiatrists to ban U.S. veterans experiencing even mild forms of
Post-Traumatic Stress Syndrome from ever owning a gun.
You have the right to protect your life, liberty, and property. As
President, I will continue to guard the liberties stated in the
Second
Amendment.

Ron Paul 2008 > Issues > Property Rights and Eminent Domain
http://www.ronpaul2008.com/issues/property-rights-and-eminent-domain/
Property Rights and Eminent Domain
We must stop special interests from violating property rights and
literally
driving families from their homes, farms and ranches.
Today, we face a new threat of widespread eminent domain actions as a
result
of powerful interests who want to build a NAFTA superhighway through
the
United States from Mexico to Canada.
We also face another danger in regulatory takings: Through excess
regulation, governments deprive property owners of significant value
and use
of their properties - all without paying "just compensation."
Property rights are the foundation of all rights in a free society.
Without
the right to own a printing press, for example, freedom of the press
becomes
meaningless. The next president must get federal agencies out of
these
schemes to deny property owners their constitutional rights to life,
liberty, and property.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Remember these views are not the result of a need to get elected; NO!
Dr.
Paul has held to these same views for the last 30 years in Public
Life. He
has written books on these matters and he VOTES in the House in a way
that
backs up these views without fault. SO even if you disagree on an
issue or
two; I ask you," will you ever have a chance to elect a small
government
Jeffersonian again in your lifetime?" And,"will you have a chance to
vote if
the police state that is coming upon us is not fought off as Ron Paul
promises to do if elected President?" Vote Ron Paul.
