MANCHESTER, N.H. -- Presidential candidate U.S. Rep. Ron Paul shared his views on the war in Iraq, health care and global warming with an audience of New Hampshire voters.

Press release.....
......
After signing the pledge, Dr. Paul issued the following statement:
“Signing the Taxpayer Protection Pledge was easy for me. During my 10 terms in Congress, I have never voted to raise taxes, and I never will. To be honest, I can’t understand why a Republican wouldn’t sign it.
“Liberty is best served when Americans keep more of their own, hard-earned money. I think taxes should be as low as possible. As president, I would work to lower taxes for every American as I have for years as a member of Congress.”
stirring words of the patriot William Wallace .... "What will you do for freedom? Will you fight?"
Such was his trumpet call to rally his followers for battle with the dreaded English juggernaut seven centuries ago. Back and forth in front of his troops, Wallace rode on his prancing horse exhorting a reluctant army of Scottish rebels until they rose up to drive the English from their land. "What will you do for freedom? Will you fight," he repeatedly asked? Your life's work, Dr. Paul, has been in essence the posing of those two questions to all Americans. I write to you today, to tell you we are ready for the fight. And we need you and your prancing horse to lead the way.

....Contrary to the pandering tongues of career politicians, Paul made his start honestly, working as an obstetrician/gynecologist and delivering more than 4,000 babies.
Few of the current choices for president can honestly boast that accomplishment. Most of them[The whole MOB] seem determined to spend our money for us and tell us what we can and cannot do or otherwise control our lives.
Most importantly, however, Paul is consistent. His principles are clear and his votes follow them to a degree that should make most career politicians blush for shame. Check the Washington Post's Web site and its amazingly accessible Votes Database for Paul's (and others') records.
Paul's principled stance is precisely what this country needs in a leader.
....the public can no longer ignore the decay visible in the highest echelons of government.
Whole Story....

For 50 years I’ve never cared for politics but I just donated to Ron Paul’s campaign (the first political contribution of my life), I’m telling everyone I know about him, and I am taking two days off work this week to drive 7 hours to hear him speak. For those of you who have not heard his unique brand of honest, simple and intelligent common sense, please check out his videos on Yahoo, Google and YouTube.

The greatest threat facing America today is not terrorism, or foreign economic competition, or illegal immigration. The greatest threat facing America today is the disastrous fiscal policies of our own government, marked by shameless deficit spending and Federal Reserve currency devaluation. It is this one-two punch – Congress spending more than it can tax or borrow, and the Fed printing money to make up the difference – that threatens to impoverish us by further destroying the value of our dollars. -----readWhole article....

The 2008 presidential election is now less than 19 months away. As far as I’m concerned, that means now is the time to start planning .....
... And that something different makes me believe something different can happen in next year’s election.
The something different in question is a lanky, long-haired Indian kid named Sanjaya Malakar, who, despite his lack of charisma and talent, is somehow taking this year’s “American Idol” by storm.
.... A hundred years from now, I predict historians will credit him as the reason a little known Republican congressman from Texas became our next U.S. president.
....
There isn’t a doubt in my mind that Ron Paul would be the establishment’s worst nightmare. [***Braveheart adds-But great for you, I and the counrty! ***]
First... Unlike Obama or John Edwards, Ron Paul isn’t a prepackaged candidate.
Secondly, not being prepackaged means his congressional record actually means something. You can literally tell what Ron Paul believes in just by looking at how he’s voted.
Finally, his congressional record is impressive. Unlike most congressmen, Ron Paul goes to the trouble of reading legislation before voting for it. For this reason, he knows better than to vote for most of it. A true conservative, he typically votes to conserve our nation’s money and resources. He has never voted himself a pay raise. And he is the only congressman who checks every one of his votes against the United States Constitution.
... Most of the candidates who say they’re what’s “best” are, in fact, the same people who keep screwing things up.
....No more saying, “Politics are corrupt, but there’s nothing we can do about it.” With that attitude, you’re right: There’s nothing we can do. But if a lanky, long-haired Indian kid who can’t sing can nonetheless succeed on “American Idol,” then it only goes to show that attitude is everything—especially when the people have the power to vote.
Between Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, our next president will be coming in after 16 very bizarre years in America. I’m urging everyone I know to vote for Ron Paul. And I’m urging everyone I know to urge everyone they know to do the same. I wouldn’t get behind a third-option candidate if I thought he couldn’t win. But I think Ron Paul can win if we get behind him.
Why not make 2008 the year to finally voice our dissatisfaction? To finally prop up a candidate who respects the U.S. Constitution?
Forward this article if you agree with me that now is a good time for these things to happen.
Ron Paul would be the status quo’s worst nightmare. But if we all got behind him, it would be an American dream. click there for whole story
To the editor: Presidential candidate Ron Paul is a real candidate.
Many of Paul's counterparts always refuse to co-sponsor bills like repealing the federal income tax and ending Social Security payouts to illegal aliens again living back in Mexico, or getting the U.S. out of the United Nations.....
Too often folks say, "I voted for the lesser of two evils." Send a message to Washington. Look up Ron Paul, and check out his voting record. You will see the man we need in the White House, a statesman leading by personal example, not another media-picked, cowardly, camera-hogging "trust me" politician worrying over his pancake makeup tint before appearing on Larry King.

"The Constitutionalist"
"Essentially, Ron Paul wants to treat Americans as adults, rather than as children constantly begging their parents to give them what they want. He believes in freedom from taxes that fund wasteful and ineffective programs and freedom from a government powerful and intrusive enough to routinely override individual choices, when those choices do not infringe on the rights of others."
Professor Gary M. Galles, 03/28/07
Ron Paul a Real Republican
"Too often folks say, 'I voted for the lesser of two evils.' Send a message to Washington. Look up Paul, a statesman leading by personal example...."
Tim Shea, Letters, The Billings Gazette, 03/28/07
Here is a GREAT letter with lots of comments!
Paul is the “one exception to the Gang of 535″ on Capitol Hill.
The Ron Paul FREEDOM PRINCIPLES are...
*Rights belong to individuals, not groups.
*Property should be owned by people, not government.
*All voluntary associations should be permissible — economic and social.
*The government’s monetary role is to maintain the integrity of the monetary unit, not participate in fraud.
*Government exists to protect liberty, not to redistribute wealth or to grant special privileges.
*The lives and actions of people are their own responsibility, not the government’s.
This really Works for me!!!
"The Revolutionary Candidate"
"Ron Paul has made numerous media appearances, from C-SPAN to Lou Dobbs, since and prior to the announcement of his candidacy. Still, the strategy thus far has been to ignore him to the extent possible. That approach cannot work in the long run, since for one thing the enthusiasm for Dr. Paul all over the Internet cannot be contained forever. For another, people are going to become curious about him when they watch, or hear reports about, the first Republican primary debate on May 3. They’ll see a bunch of establishment hacks uttering platitudes devised for them by handlers and focus groups, and they’ll see Ron Paul, who unlike his opponents is not only intelligent enough to write his own speeches, but who will also raise questions the other candidates would prefer not to discuss. He can pummel every single one of them on their lousy records on taxes, the Constitution, and war. Ron Paul is about to spoil the party. This will be like no other Republican primary debate in many, many years."

Different GOP Texan for president
Last Updated: March 25, 2007, 10:35:23 AM PDT
If the Republican Party is ever going to have a chance to win in 2008, it will need a candidate who will repudiate, not extend, President Bush's legacy of war, corruption and profligacy. Congressman Ron Paul, R-Texas, is that man. More than just a grin and a sound bite, Paul is a man of deep convictions. He is one of the few nationally prominent Republicans who had the courage to oppose the Iraq war and the administration's ongoing assault on personal freedom.
Ron Paul is one of the few public officials at the national level who understands why the Federal Reserve system must go and why we need to return to the gold standard. As president, he would use the Constitution itself as a yardstick to determine whether a bill shall be signed or vetoed. If nominated by the GOP, he will return the party to its small government, more freedom roots. If Ron Paul is elected, we Americans can once again say with a straight face, "We live in the greatest and freest nation on Earth!"
CHARLES BYRD

"Like Barry Goldwater and Ronald Reagan, Ron Paul believes that government is usually the problem, not the solution. He's the only presidential contender who's serious about restoring government to the constitutional limits intended by our nation's Founders. He deserves our support."
Thomas Gillooly, Letters, Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, 03/25/07
Doing What's Right
"As it becomes clearer that most Democrats in Congress lack the political courage to end the war, and that most Republicans in Congress are out of touch with the American people on the issue, Ron Paul becomes an ever more viable presidential candidate in 2008.
"Rudy Giuliani, John McCain, and Mitt Romney back President Bush all the way on continuing the war. Ron Paul wants to end it. Hillary Clinton and John Edwards voted for the war. Ron Paul voted against it. Barack Obama says that he opposed the war from the beginning, but he continues to vote to fund it. Ron Paul urges his colleagues in Congress to use their Constitutional power to end it.
"Yet an issue of such importance is not about political calculation, at least not for Ron Paul, as his speech clearly indicates. It's about doing what's right."
