Ron Paul's Statement of Faith
We live in times of great uncertainty when men
of faith must stand up for our values and our traditions lest they
be washed away in a sea of fear and relativism. As you likely know,
I am...
Defend the Constitution!
Recently, the General Accounting Office studied nineteen
instances where the President issued so-called "signing statements."
In such statements...
Surrender Should Not Be an Option
Faced with dwindling support of the Iraq War, the
warhawks are redoubling their efforts. They imply we are in Iraq
attacking those who attacked us, and yet this is not the case. As
we know, Saddam Hussein...
We Just Marched In (So We Can Just March Out)
All the reasons given to justify a preemptive strike
against Iraq were wrong. Congress and the American people were misled.
Exposing the True Isolationists.
Last week, I wrote about the ideology of globalism
and how it underlies certain government policies. Managed trade
agreements, international military adventurism, and amnesty for
illegal immigrants all emanate from...
The War on Religion
The Founding Fathers envisioned a robustly Christian
yet religiously tolerant America, with churches serving as vital
institutions that would eclipse the state in importance. Throughout
our nation’s history, churches have done what no government
can ever do, namely teach morality...
Entangling Alliances
In the name of clamping down on "terrorist uprisings"
in Pakistan , General Musharraf has declared a state of emergency
and imposed martial law. The true motivations behind this action
however, are astonishingly transparent, as the reports come in that
mainly lawyers and opposition party members are being arrested and
harassed. Supreme Court justices are held in house arrest ...

Congressman and Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul warns of 'soft fascism'
"It reminds me of what Sinclair Lewis once said, he says: 'When
fascism comes to this country, it will be wrapped in the flag, carrying
a cross.'"
Praying for Righteous Leadership
Strength, resolve, charisma, and interest in your
fellow man are the defining qualities found in a good leader, but
integrity, honesty, humility and a genuine love for humanity are
the qualities you find in a Godly leader.
 Canada
openly proclaims NAFTA Superhighway
A Newsweek story critical of Rep. Ron Paul and labeling the NAFTA
Superhighway a baseless conspiracy theory has generated approximately
250 adverse reader responses on the "comments" section
of Newsweek's website, many citing hard evidence that the proposed
transcontinental trade corridor is quite real.
CNN coverage
of the NAU and NAFTA Superhighway problem.
 What
was Germany’s secret to stopping the inflation? Ron Paul knows
— it was gold!
Zink Plan’s return to gold standard
will save U.S.
During the Republican CNN/YouTube primary debate, Sarah Lederach
at Penn State asked what the presidential candidates would do to
control the national debt. The overwhelming topic of the responses
was that they would cut “pork spending,” the allocation
of federal funds to the pet projects of individual legislators.
"PRO-LIFE" CANDIDATES SHOULD PUT UP OR SHUT UP
Is it not more than interesting that "pro-life"
President George W. Bush, along with the "pro-life" Republican
Party leadership of both houses of Congress, refused--and continues
to refuse--to support Ron Paul's Sanctity of Life Act? In addition,
not a single "pro-life" presidential candidate outside
of Ron Paul has even bothered to mention the Sanctity of Life Act,
much less aggressively call for its implementation with a promise
that, if elected President, he would sign it into law. Not Huckabee;
not McCain; not Thompson; not Romney; none of them!
 Follow the Words of Paul!
At the recent CNN/YouTube Republican debate, a question
was asked of the candidates: Would Jesus use the death penalty?
Mike Huckabee cleverly dodged the question by stating that Jesus
is not a politician. After all Huckabee, who does support the death
penalty, is a Baptist minister who ceaselessly touts his devotion
to Jesus’ teachings. Yet any Christian who has bothered to
read any of Jesus’ word would realize that Jesus would not
support the death penalty. I am sure we are all glad, as Huckabee
pointed out, that Jesus is not a politician because chicken-hawks,
such as Huckabee, probably would not vote for him.
To prove this point I decided to check my Bible for Jesus’
views on war, and aggression. Everyone knows what I found, so I
will not bore readers with passages of scripture proving unequivocally
that Jesus was against aggressive warfare and very pro-peace. Clearly
he would be a cut-and-run candidate unworthy of any of the neocon
Republican establishment’s support.
However, I found something else that was very interesting. It was
in the Apostle Paul’s second letter to the Corinthians from
the New Living Translation. Paul wrote that "We are human,
but we don’t wage war as humans do. We use God’s mighty
weapons, not worldly weapons, to knock down the strongholds of human
reasoning and to destroy false arguments." 2 Cor.10:3–4.
Does this sound like something Huckabee would endorse? Does it
sound like something any of the Republican candidates would endorse?
The only one I can think of is a man also named Paul. Ron Paul.
Here are some quotes from Ron Paul.
"Setting a good example is a far better way to spread ideals
than through force of arms."
"Logic tells us that we can make a better world in a much
easier way than causing wars."
"We need to talk to people, trade with people, not go to war
with them."
We should take the advice of both Pauls when dealing with foreign
policy. We should set a good example at home, and spread our ideals
of freedom through peaceful means, not bombs falling from the sky.
None of the other Republican candidates endorse this view. Even
Huckabee who, like President Bush, wears his faith on his sleeve
to make sure everyone knows that he is a Christian.
The Apostle Paul mentioned this type of men in his letter as well.
He wrote "Oh don’t worry; we wouldn’t dare say
that we are as wonderful as these other men who tell you how important
they are! But they are only comparing themselves with each other,
using themselves as the standard measurement. How ignorant!"
2 Cor. 10:12.
At the debate Huckabee stated that the Bible was the living Word
of God. Maybe its time he re-read God’s Word.
 Blossoming
Jewish Support for Ron Paul in Israel?
Thursday, October 11, 2007 - FreeMarketNews.com
At least one small MeetUp group for Ron Paul has taken hold in Israel,
where sources say support for the GOP Jeffersonian conservative
presidential candidate is blossoming. Others are in the works as
well, sources say.
These international sources add that GOP presidential candidate
Ron Paul's foreign policy of non-intervention is dear to the hearts
of more and more Jews in Israel, as well as in America. "What
people who have not been to Israel, or lived there extensively,
do not understand is that there are plenty of Jews in Israel who
do not want the kind of aid and support that America offers. They
think it is making things worse."
Ron Paul Letter From a Soldier
Tuesday, December 04, 2007 - FreeMarketNews.com
This is why I am taking my personal revolution and joining forces
with Dr. Ron Paul’s revolution. His “bring all the troops
home” non-intervention foreign policy and plans to put America
first again are just what we need at this time in our history. I
don’t expect you to agree with everything he says, but I do
hope we can all put our differences aside and join him in seeing
that ALL the troops come home, the Republic is restored and America
saved.
The following are a few campaign successes

 Ron
Paul supporters made Dec. 16th a day to remember, again!
December 16th was already a significant day for freedom
in American history. It was the day that the event we have come
to know as the Boston Tea Party took place in 1773. That event helped
to start the American Revolution which in turn made our country
a free and sovereign nation.
Ron Paul supporters decided to add significance to
December 16th by supporting freedom on two fronts. On one front
more than 58,000 supporters donated to the Ron Paul campaign, making
history for a second time, and breaking the standing one day donation
record held by John Kerry. More than
6million dollars was raised in a single 24hour period!
On the other front Ron Paul supporters took to the
streets across the country to march and to re-enact the Boston Tea
Party.
The unity of the growing Ron Paul movement this Dec.
16th demonstrates that the American spirit first evident in Boston
in 1773 is alive and well. Let the rEVOLution begin!!!!
You can see some video and a photo album from our
neck of the woods here:
 Ron
Paul led ALL ‘08 candidates with over one-fourth of military
contributions for Q2!
Earlier, we reported military contributions among Republican presidential
candidates place Ron Paul on top at 49.5%, with nearly as much as
all Republicans combined.
A more complete compilation of statistics by Phreadom shows that presidential candidate Ron Paul leads all 2008 presidential candidates in military contributions from the US Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps and war veterans. Presidential candidate Ron Paul leads with an impressive one-fourth* of all contributions this second quarter according to newly released data from the FEC.
Ron Paul currently has more cash-on-hand than John McCain this quarter, and this new information is indicative of Ron Paul's success. It appears that our soldiers and war veterans have an affinity to, or inclination for Ron Paul's non-intervention principle - defending our homeland and pursuing terrorists, but no nation-building.
Military contributions for Q2
Ron Paul 26.23%
Barack Obama 24.02%
John McCain 18.31%
Hillary Clinton 11.08%
Bill Richardson 5.59%
Mitt Romney 4.05%
John Edwards 2.63%
Rudy Giuliani 2.44%
Mike Huckabee 1.84%
