"... I have this dream, I'd like to reinstate the Constitution and restore the Republic. ... I think the Republican party and all of Washington have lost their way. ..."
"... We don't have to live in the kind of America the two major parties have in store for us. Together, let us continue to lay the foundations for an America worthy of our Founding Fathers."
Something Big is Going On I have, for the past 35 years, expressed my grave concern for the future of America. The course we have taken over the past century has threatened our liberties, security and prosperity. In spite of these long-held concerns, I have days—growing more frequent all the time—when I’m convinced the time is now upon us that some Big Events are about to occur. These fast-approaching events will not go unnoticed. They will affect all of us. They will not be limited to just some areas of our country. The world economy and political system will share in the chaos about to be unleashed.
Though the world has long suffered from the senselessness of wars that should have been avoided, my greatest fear is that the course on which we find ourselves will bring even greater conflict and economic suffering to the innocent people of the world—unless we quickly change our ways.

Congress's 'Virtual Iran War Resolution' Today the Dow Jones Average was down 350-some points, gold was up $32, and oil was up another $5. There is a lot of chaos out there and everyone is worried about $4 gasoline. But I don't think there is a clear understanding [of] exactly why that has occurred. We do know that there is a supply and demand issue, but there are other reasons for the high cost of energy. One is inflation. In order to pay for the war that has been going on, and the domestic spending, we've been spending a lot more money than we have. So what do we do? We send the bills over to the Federal Reserve and they create new money, and in the last three years, our government, through the Federal Reserve and the banking system, has created $4 trillion of new money. That is one of the main reasons why we have this high cost of energy and $4 per gallon gasoline.

Paul Calls For Hearings On Falling Dollar’s Impact On Oil In the face of $4 per gallon gasoline and predictions the price will rise to $7 by the end of summer, Congressman Ron Paul (R-Lake Jackson) is calling on Congress to explore how the weakened value of the dollar may be contributing to the rise in oil prices.
Paul, whose 14th Congressional District of Texas includes part of the Katy area and much of Cinco Ranch, said he wants Congress to hold hearings on the relationship between the falling value of the dollar and the recent rise of oil prices.

Ron Paul is Still Eligible for the GOP Nomination Many of you are aware that Ron Paul officially suspended his campaign a couple of weeks ago. What many are not aware of, however, is that this campaign suspension was merely a legal formality, governing the use of Ron Paul's campaign donations.
Similar to Mitt Romney, Dr. Paul is no longer actively campaigning, but *IS* still eligible to win the GOP nomination, and WILL still have bound delegates present at the Republican National Convention in September.
The phenomenal success of Ron Paul's delegates at this past weekend's Nevada Republican state convention attest to how active and excited the Ron Paul movement is to elect him the GOP nominee.

The Revolution, A Manifesto, by Ron Paul Part II of II In his latest book, written on the campaign trail and released in April, Congressman Ron Paul (R-TX14) clearly lays out the ideas behind his presidential run and a strong case for limiting the federal government to its constitutional bounds and reining in a runaway Washington, D.C. before it collapses of its own weight, crushing many of us with it.
The book does not shine a favorable light on either major party. Libertarian-leaning Paul sees the United States as living in a fantasy world at the dawn of the twenty-first century.

Political Freelancers Use Web to Join the Attack Dr. Paul was already anticipating the battle that would take place between the vested interests of the old media, and the rising power of the new. "The numbers of people out there who are sick and tired of what they're getting are strong enough that we can have a real impact and be very competitive," he said. "We live in a new and modern age and nobody has truly measured [the potential reach of the internet]. I think Howard Dean got around the edges two years ago and did pretty well…but the technology continues to improve and the ability to reach millions of people at a very low cost is very intriguing."

"Can we further expand the government? Yes, we can!" Barack Obama’s supporters should be scratching their heads over their candidate’s recent moves. First, there was the increased tough talk toward Iran, now today brings word that Obama is planning to not only continue Bush’s faith-based initiatives, but to vastly expand them.
The criticism that faced these policies when President Bush initially presented them was greatly warranted. Not only do faith-based initiatives violate the Constitution by giving federal money to private charities, but that same aid will bring with it a tremendous amount of increased regulation and bureaucracy that will result in fewer charities and vastly diminished efficiency and effectiveness.
All of the glowing rhetoric about "change" has given way, already, to more of the same - much, much more of the same. And all in a play for votes.
For the perfect contrast, check out Dr. Paul's Texas Straight Talk from February 5, 2001 and his speech from July 19 of that year.

Personal Freedoms and the Internet The most basic principle to being a free American is the notion that we as individuals are responsible for our own lives and decisions. We do not have the right to rob our neighbors to make up for our mistakes, neither does our neighbor have any right to tell us how to live, so long as we aren’t infringing on their rights. Freedom to make bad decisions is inherent in the freedom to make good ones. If we are only free to make good decisions, we are not really free.

The Evil Gramm vs. Ron Paul Writes Spencer J. Hahn: "Let us not forget that it was that Democrat turncoat, Phil Gramm, who defeated Ron Paul in the 1984 Republican Senate primary. Had Ron Paul won the primary, he would have won the general election, and become the true conscience of the Senate. I often wonder what would have been if Ron Paul had been in the Senate to filibuster every unconstitutional bill. He almost certainly would have been a presidential candidate (as Gramm was in 1996), and likely would have been taken more seriously by the MSM.
"I can never forgive Phil Gramm and the Texas GOP for taking away Ron Paul's chance to serve alongside Barry Goldwater in the Senate."
Spencer, I was involved in that campaign, when Reagan broke his moronic "11th Commandment" to speak ill of fellow Republican Ron Paul, and such figures as Karl Rove and Paul Weyrich conspired to wage a very nasty campaign against Ron. In true Republican dirty-tricks fashion, Ron's campaign office was even burglarized and his mailing list and other documents stolen. The power-elite had annointed the Philster, and would brook no grassroots opposition. Ron, of course, ran a hard and heroic campaign, complete with brilliant antiwar ads.

Introducing The Ron Paul Paul-O-Meter. Does Your Candidate Measure Up? Everyone knows the perfection of Ron Paul. He is already a living legend. All future candidates are damaged goods simply because they are not Ron Paul. There is only one Ron Paul. So to see how other candidates measure up to his perfection we are introducing the "Paul-O-Meter".
The Paul-O-Meter ranks candidates on a scale from 0 to 100 depending on how closely they are in agreement with Ron Paul on chosen criteria. Since no candidate can possibly equal Ron Paul, the highest score on the Paul-O-Meter attainable for candidates other than Ron Paul is 99. To simplify the ranking, each candidate will be graded from 1 to 5 on each of the 20 criteria. The 20 criteria are listed below, along with a short description for each.

In loving memory of Kent Snyder The Freedom Movement has suffered a great loss. Kent Snyder, chairman of my presidential campaign, lost his tragic battle with pneumonia last week. Kent was a true lover of liberty. He was an American patriot. He was my friend. And, he will be missed.
Kent was a gentle man who carried himself with quiet dignity. While soft spoken, great inner strength lay behind his kind blue eyes. He was filled with conviction, and principles of decency, loyalty and respect ran to his core. Those fortunate enough to work closely with Kent were touched by his integrity and old-fashioned American work ethic. Stories of his youth in Kansas and lessons taught to him by his two greatest influences, his mother and father, were often shared with friends and colleagues. During difficult times, Kent was always a calm at the center of the storm.
I first met Kent in 1987 when he, as a young man in his late 20’s, served on my first presidential run. Over the next twenty years, we worked together on countless projects in the name of Freedom. It was Kent, more than anyone else, who urged me to run again for president last year. I was skeptical, but he was much more confident that the time was right. Without Kent, I don’t think it would have happened. Though he was an optimist, in the end, even he didn’t expect what we achieved.

Peace & Prosperity or War & Inflation? In a passionate appeal to Congress Ron Paul unmasked the real causes of rising energy prices: inflation, and fear about a possible attack on Iran by Israel and/or the US. He went on to criticize Israel’s massive war propaganda effort which is based on what may well turn out to be lies, and warned against a coming resolution (S.RES.580) which, if passed, is going to basically “shut down” Iran by hitting it with massive sanctions, boycotts and embargoes.
History shows that choking and all-encompassing embargoes such as this one might well be designed to provoke a desperate response (like Pearl Harbor or 9/11) which could then be used to shore up public support for a forceful counter attack.

Nevada Republicans "Re-Convene" State Convention A group of Nevada Republicans held what they're calling the real state convention on Saturday to do what April's gathering could not: appoint delegates to the National Convention.

Why I Spend $85,000 To Support Presidential Candidate Ron Paul he America that I grew up in believed in the rule of law, not the rule of men.
The America that I grew up in believed in telling the truth. The America that I grew up in believed in following Judeo- Christian values, and yet made room for those of different faiths and backgrounds. The America I grew up in had a religious flavor, but we were wary of those who wore their religion on their sleeves. The America that I grew up in believed in the golden rule: treat people the way we would like them to treat us. The America that I grew up in believed that you did not lie, cheat or steal. The America that I grew up in believed in the inherent goodness of most men, but recognized that evil exists.

He has dedicated himself to faithfully abiding by principles spelled out in the U.S. Constitution, a rarity in Washington, D.C. today.
Due to a shortage of Steele County delegates present that morning, my friend and I were immediately seated, six rows from the front, from that vantage point, it was very interesting to see how convention officials controlled the whole “process” (sham).

Ron Paul has performed a great service for the Republican Party Largely unappreciated and attacked by his own Party Congressman Ron Paul has, in fact, done a great service to the Republican Party this election season. Paul enlarged the Republican ‘tent’ to again include disaffected core Republicans, Independents and real Conservatives who have been forced outside that ‘tent’ in the last two decades.
Paul uses classic Republican language to defend that point of view which demands small-government, constitutionally-oriented, fiscally-responsible and true free-market adherents actually be recognized and accommodated, rather than just paying lip-service to those positions.

Republican Party wants Ron Paul to not be heard As an 11th term U.S. Congressman from Texas (R) and a humble Christian family man, Ron Paul is well-known and well-respected on Capitol Hill. He speaks of highly conservative values, those of the original Republican Party platform of years ago. He differs with his opponent, John McCain, in many ways — particularly his stand on the Iraq War and his plan to send all troops home from that nation as well as the 130-plus nations around the globe. The trillions of dollars saved will be used to protect our nation’s borders, free it of illegal immigrants and begin to pay off our national debt. His platform speaks of devout patriotism and common sense — something we don’t hear from McCain, Obama or Clinton.

GOP convention looked too liberal There was a certain amount of stink made over the Ron Paul supporters, many of whom were delegates trying to push conservative values and shift the party to the right. Excuse me? Am I in the right place? You'd have thought we were a bunch of terrorists or something. Imagine, having the gall to demand adherence to our Constitution and preaching CONSERVATISM at a REPUBLICAN convention, of all places. Disgraceful.

"Maybe McCain will catch fire, if he comes more often," Mrs. Lowden said. "We are a swing state, and I'm worried." END

"May I comment on that? That's really an extraordinary statement. That's an extraordinary statement, as someone who lived through the effects of the Federal Reserve, that we invited the devaluation of the dollar because we were attacking Iraq. I don’t think I've heard that before, and I've heard some pretty absurd explanations for why we should get rid of the Federal Reserve."

Statement on FISA The main reason I oppose this latest version is that it still clearly violates the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution by allowing the federal government to engage in the bulk collection of American citizens’ communications without a search warrant. That US citizens can have their private communication intercepted by the government without a search warrant is anti-American, deeply disturbing, and completely unacceptable.
In addition to gutting the fourth amendment, this measure will deprive Americans who have had their rights violated by telecommunication companies involved in the Administration’s illegal wiretapping program the right to seek redress in the courts for the wrongs committed against them.

Ron Paul, America´s Best Hope, Not the Last Ron Paul is not America´s last hope, but he remains her best hope. Still, there are many, many hopeful voices across the country that are ready to do whatever it takes to regain freedom and are willing to show that individual leadership and responsibility spring from respecting the liberties God endowed in all men. More and more people in our nation are beginning to understand this and are starting to shun the establishment. More and more people are joining the revolution and expressing their displeasure with the status quo. We are winning this battle peacefully. Each person that learns the truth of freedom is like a raindrop added to the storm. It is becoming more and more difficult for the established powers to maintain the levies of ignorance that hold back the floodwaters of liberty. When those levies burst, only those on the high ground will be safe, and from my point of view it seems that the establishment has chosen some very low ground to stand upon.

Destroying the Dollar on the Path to War If you haven’t seen Dr. Paul's first video interview on the Campaign for Liberty's YouTube channel, it is worth four minutes of your time for insight into how our government functions in these days of Empire. In it, Dr. Paul explains the upcoming vote on the monstrous $187 billion emergency supplemental funding bill. Because of its status as an "emergency supplemental" bill, it is not counted in the official US budget (which is currently running a $400 billion deficit) and thus not subject to ordinary budget rules.

TIME for Socialism Anyone who is still wondering why the so-called "mainstream media" was so hostile toward Congressman Ron Paul's campaign for the Republican presidential nomination will find an answer in the June 2 issue of Time magazine.

I am pleased to report that last week we received notice that the Texas Department of Transportation will recommend the I-69 Project be developed using existing highway facilities instead of the proposed massive new Trans Texas Corridor/NAFTA Superhighway. According to the Texas Transportation Commissioner, consideration is no longer being given to new corridors and other proposals for a new highway footprint for this project. A major looming threat to property rights and national sovereignty is removed with this encouraging announcement.

Last week, some of the people who had purchased the coins filed a motion in U.S. District Court demanding the currency be returned. Federal authorities have said the coins are illegal. But the maker of the coins, Bernard von NotHaus, said his currency -- often called "Liberty Dollars" -- were seized because the federal government doesn't want competition from his company.

McCain Apes Paul McCain told Canadians that his campaign is about "reform, peace and prosperity," echoing Ron Paul's freedom, peace, and prosperity. In fact, of course, McCain is all about enshrining the power elite, mass murder of Muslims, and economic depression (though he doesn't do much for our mood either!).

Ron Paul Maintains Strong Support In Montana Even though Republican Representative Ron Paul of Texas has dropped out of the presidential race, not all of his supporters have given up.
It was not long ago that Republican Representative Ron Paul of Texas had announced he was dropping out of the GOP race. However, Senator John McCain of Arizona was the one that clinched the GOP nomination and is the presumed GOP nominee. But, Paul cannot be discounted as a threat to the GOP.
