There seems to be some confusion about what Ron Paul’s intentions might be in running for President. He certainly wants to become president, but think about the reasons why:

Reduce the size of the Federal government.
Restore American constitutional values.
Protect personal liberty.
Create real value in the American economic system.
Make the Federal government work for the people not the corporations.
Create responsibility and accountability in government

He has the vision to do this and I think every American would like to see all of this come true. I also believe that there is a tide of support beginning to swell for him. People are fed up with big government providing whatever the big corporations need. And making themselves rich in the process.

Ron Paul is a hot topic these days for daily internet users. He calls himself a “constitutionalist” – in other words – his political policies adhere to a strict interpretation of the constitution. Foremost in these policies is that the federal government has no jurisdiction over abortion. Ron Paul May Have Ignited A Political Movement

Six months ago I glanced at the political campaign sign of this little known candidate on the corner of my street and thought he was running for the local school committee. A few weeks later I learned that the man is a doctor and military surgeon. He is 72 years old and a ten term Republican congressman from Texas running for President of the United States in the 2008 election.

I can’t believe more people have not voted for Ron Paul in the presidential race. Ron Paul is a true american who will not let politicians run this country into the ground any more. Is Ron Paul Right About US and Israel Relations?

There is no doubt that the United States and Israel are close allies, after all, it was our nation that helped create that country. In the US we have the largest Jewish Population in the world, more Jews live in the US than do in Israel. President Obama also noted in a speech in Egypt that the United States has enough Muslims in it, which would make it the sixth largest Muslim populated nation.(See total irresponsibility in lending by both borrowers and lenders, etc.)
We are also becoming fed up with the manipulation of our monetary system for the good of the banks and growing tax bills to feed an ever money hungry Federal spending machine that seems to have a knack for wasting as much as possible. Imperialism seems to be on the rise, especially in this administration and Americans grow tired of policing the world at their cost in both lives and dollars.
We want to be free to decide for ourselves what we think is right. That is what our Republic is all about. Free states that are supported by the Federal government; not ruled by it.
And yes, Dr. Paul is against abortion, a devout Christian and many other things that we all (including me) do not agree with all of the time. But his passion for personal freedom and emancipation from Federal rule that we all live under give us protection from a President that would try to force anything like this upon us. The society we live in now does not protect us from this at all; it facilitates this kind of oppressive rule.
Ron Paul can begin the end of all that we would like to see go. Just give him a chance; listen to what he says and believe that America is ready for this. We all want to be free and we all can be!. We just need to start somewhere and Ron Paul has helped us find that starting line.
