Stand Up America - Join The Campaign

Roger Tucker — Tue, 06 May 2008 07:19:14 -0600

The following link is to an article from the Washington Post on Ron Paul.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/ wp-dyn/content/article/2008/05/05/AR2008050502314_pf.html
One paragraph from that article tells us about the values of Ron Paul.
"If it was just for the presidency, it would have ended a long time ago," says supporter Tom Martin, 50, a database administrator from State College, Pa. "The idea was to reinvigorate the Republican Party back to its principles and, more than that, to reinvigorate the American people back to its principles."

If we learn anything it is this, only when enough of us become candidates to campaign, not for the office we seek, but for the message, will America survive.

Stand Up America

Roger Tucker — Sun, 13 Apr 2008 20:01:47 -0600

Ron Paul succeeded in uniting thousands of Americans with his message of having respect for liberty through having respect to the laws of the Constitution. We ought not let his message or his accomplishment of uniting so many people become diminished.

We need to pick up and amplify Ron Paul's message and use it as a standard for judging or endorsing all other candidates.

"The 2nd Amendment is not about hunting deer or keeping a pistol in your night-stand. It's not about protecting oneself against common criminals. It is about preventing tyranny." - Congressman Ron Paul

Ron Paul Introduced Legislation to:

end our membership in the gun-grabbing UN (United Nations)
repeal the Brady Bill and FFL Act of 1993
repeal waiting periods

Norma McCorvey (Jane Roe) of Roe Abortion Case Endorses Ron Paul for President

jlmartin — Wed, 23 Jan 2008 14:05:16 -0700

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- Before the March for Life this morning Norma McCorvey, the former Jane Roe of the infamous abortion case that allowed unlimited abortions nationwide, backed Ron Paul fo the GOP presidential nomination. McCorvey is now pro-life and she says Ron Paul is the best candidate to make sure abortion is no more.

McCorvey runs Crossing Over Ministry and is a frequent speaker across the country on pro-life issues.

“Ron Paul states, ‘The right of an innocent, unborn child to life is at the heart of the American ideals of liberty.’ I support Ron Paul for president because we share the same goal, that of overturning Roe v Wade," McCorvey said Tuesday.

"Ron Paul doesn't just talk about being pro-life, he acts on it. His voting record truly is impeccable and he undoubtedly understands our constitutional republic and the inalienable right to life for all," McCorvey added.

Ron Paul - Struggling for Relevance in Cuba: Close, Still No Cigars

ron_paul_posts — Sun, 28 Oct 2007 07:00:00 -0600

In the name of helping Cubans, the US administration is calling for "multibillions" of taxpayer dollars in foreign aid and subsidies for internet access, education and business development for Cubans under the condition that the Cuban government demonstrates certain changes. In the same breath, they claim lifting the embargo would only help the dictatorship. This is exactly backwards. Free trade is the best thing for people in both Cuba and the US. Government subsidies would enrich those in power in Cuba at the expense of already overtaxed Americans!

Ron Paul - Interventionism? Isolationism? Actually, Both.

ron_paul_posts — Sun, 21 Oct 2007 07:00:00 -0600

Even though I am no fan of the war in Iraq, keeping positive relations with Turkey is important to protecting our troops who have been sent to fight this war. We are likely to need cordial relations with Turkey so that we can get our troops out of Iraq as quickly and safely as possible, when the time comes.

Ron Paul - Taxing Ourselves to Death

ron_paul_posts — Sun, 14 Oct 2007 07:00:00 -0600

The basic tenets of the American dream are that through hard work and ingenuity, you can earn a better life for yourself, and you can give your children a better start than you had. Surveying American history this vision has played out through steady economic progress and growth from one generation to the next. Our prosperity now is our reward for hard work and achievement in the past. Today we are the strongest economy in the world, and have much to be proud of, but Congress doesn't seem to understand that we did not tax our way here.

Ron Paul - Keeping Promises to Seniors

ron_paul_posts — Sun, 07 Oct 2007 07:00:00 -0600

Official reports show the trust fund having assets of $2.1 trillion. In reality, those dollars are just IOUs the government is writing to itself when it borrows from the fund to spendon unrelated programs. There are no real assets in the Social Security Trust Fund. This is similar to taking money out of your savings account, spending it, then replacing it with an IOU to yourself, and calling that IOU an asset.

Ron Paul - Congressional Control of Health Care is Dangerous for Children

ron_paul_posts — Sun, 30 Sep 2007 07:00:00 -0600

"With universal mental health screening being implemented in schools, pharmaceutical companies stand to increase their customer base even more, and many parents are rightfully concerned. Opponents of one such program, called TeenScreen, claim it wrongly diagnoses children as much as 84% of the time, often incorrectly labeling them, resulting in the assigning of medications that can be very damaging. While we are still awaiting evidence that there are benefits to mental health screening programs, evidence that these drugs actually cause violent psychotic episodes is mounting."

Chuck Baldwin - The Money Has to Come From Somewhere

chuck_baldwin_posts — Sun, 23 Sep 2007 07:00:00 -0600

In a very real sense, the Fed and the government are close to going over the spending limit of our nation's credit card. We rely on foreign investors to buy our debt so our government can maintain its appetite for spending. Yet the market for US Treasury Bills is rapidly shrinking as yield declines. Still the government will need an estimated $100 billion more for every year we "stay the course" in Iraq , not to mention what a possible conflict in Iran could cost.

Ron Paul - The Sunlight Rule

ron_paul_posts — Sun, 16 Sep 2007 07:00:00 -0600

Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis famously said "Sunlight is the best disinfectant." Indeed some of the most malignant growth of our government has been nurtured under a cover of darkness.

Literally, in the dark hours of the morning at the end of the year, it has become tradition for the Appropriations committee to rush the famous omnibus bill to the floor for a vote, mere hours after it is introduced. The vote took place at 4 am the last time an omnibus spending bill was before us.

Ron Paul - Regulation, Free Trade and Mexican Trucks

ron_paul_posts — Fri, 07 Sep 2007 07:00:00 -0600

"The problem is a government-managed economy and the burdensome regulation that results. For our economy to remain competitive in the world, we must remember what it is to be truly free. We must lift the regulatory shackles threatening to sink our industries into oblivion."

Chuck Baldwin - My Interview With Ron Paul Now Online

chuck_baldwin_posts — Tue, 04 Sep 2007 07:00:00 -0600

I am pleased to announce that my radio interview with Congressman Ron Paul is now online. As most readers know, Dr. Paul is a Republican candidate for President. He is an Air Force veteran, a ten-term congressman from Texas, and a medical doctor.

During the course of the interview, I asked Congressman Paul about his positions on a variety of issues that are critical to the future of our country, including abortion, homosexual marriage, illegal immigration, gun control, the Patriot Act, the war in Iraq, and more.

Ron Paul - Surrender Should Not Be An Option

ron_paul_posts — Sun, 02 Sep 2007 07:00:00 -0600

"The neo-cons claim surrender should not be an option. In the same breath they claim we were attacked because of our freedoms. Why then, are they so anxious to surrender our freedoms with legislation like the Patriot Act, a repeal of our 4th amendment rights, executive orders, and presidential signing statements? With politicians like these, who needs terrorists? Do they think if we destroy our freedoms for the terrorists they will no longer have a reason to attack us? This seems the epitome of cowardice coming from those who claim a monopoly on patriotic courage."

Ron Paul - Aging Infrastructure

ron_paul_posts — Mon, 27 Aug 2007 07:00:00 -0600

Infrastructure, in a capitalist model, is an asset worthy of maintaining to ensure continuity of revenue. In a government controlled model infrastructure is nothing but a cumbersome liability. This should be taken into consideration when developing plans to keep our current infrastructure safe. Privatization should be used to encourage maintenance and safety, and where private companies truly invest and bear the upfront costs in return for ability to collect tolls or usage fees in some form. But public/private partnerships that look more like corporate welfare must be avoided.

Ron Paul - High Risk Credit

ron_paul_posts — Mon, 20 Aug 2007 07:00:00 -0600

The temptation to print and spend money with impunity, like the temptation to max out lines of credit, is too strong to for government to resist. While Nixon brokered exclusivity deals with OPEC to prop up demand for the tidal wave of green pieces of paper the Fed pumped into the markets, the world is tiring of marching to the beat of our drum in order to secure their energy needs. The house of cards Nixon built is now on the verge of collapsing on our heads, and on our children's heads.

Ron Paul - High Risk Spending

ron_paul_posts — Mon, 13 Aug 2007 07:00:00 -0600

One thing that has not drawn enough attention is the link between the size of government and the mismanagement that leads to wasted money. If the government were restrained within its proper constitutional functions, it would be far better managed and much more readily would proper oversight occur.

Ron Paul - The Fear Factor

ron_paul_posts — Mon, 30 Jul 2007 07:00:00 -0600

Thus, fear is a threat to rational liberty. The psychology of fear is an essential component of those who would have us believe we must increasingly rely on the elite who manage the apparatus of the central government.

Ron Paul - Exposing the True Isolationists

ron_paul_posts — Mon, 23 Jul 2007 07:00:00 -0600

Yet globalism has a consequence that is, if we are to believe the rhetoric of its greatest proponents, entirely unintended. Globalists often label those of us who resist their schemes as "isolationist." Yet it is, somewhat remarkably, the globalists themselves who promote policies that isolate our nation from the rest of the world.
