RON PAUL FOR PRESIDENT

By Dave Buhlman

I fully support the nomination of Congressman Ron Paul (R-TX) for President of the United States.

The main reason for my support is that Congressman Paul is a strong advocate for abiding by the US Constitution and, with his votes in Congress, has proven that he means it. Paul, along with the other 534 members of Congress and all state legislators, took an oath to support and defend the Constitution. But unlike most of the others, he takes his oath seriously. He knows, for example, that there's no role in the Constitution for the federal government to be involved in education, so he opposes all schemes that bring the federal leviathan into the local classrooms. He also knows that, to go to war, Congress must pass a Declaration of War, not some smarmy resolution substitute. Had our government abided by this requirement, many thousands of American lives would have been saved instead of being lost on foreign battlefields where we were not wanted. The brave ones who died in these unconstitutional wars, and those who fought alongside them, were and are so much better than the leaders who sent them on the mission. So much better.

Congressman Paul supports a return to sound money and the abolition of the privately owned federal reserve banking system. He knows that it's not "federal" and that there are no reserves. It's not an exciting subject, but we all feel the effects of the Fed's fiat money when we shop. It's not that prices have just gone up; it's that the value of the fiat dollars have gone down because the Fed keeps issuing too many of them. The founders had it right when they set the requirements for our money in the Constitution.

As a medical doctor who has delivered about 5,000 babies, he is solidly pro-life. Since 1973, the number of abortions that have been carried out in this country now approach 50 million. That's death on a grand scale, matching that perpetrated by Mao, Stalin and Hitler. Congressman Paul respects and believes in the Ninth and Tenth Amendments which leave the power not granted in the Constitution to the sovereign states, such as New Hampshire.

Recently, Congressman Paul raised a significant amount of money for a "second tier" candidate. This will allow him to carry his message to more Americans, and shake the establishment even more. If you want real change in this country, please support Ron Paul.
