I just wanted to share with you guys a short article that my school's Honors College published in their magazine last semester.
"RON PAUL
If given the option to put any current presidential candidate into office today, my choice would rest solely on Texas Republican Ron Paul. He has made consistent decisions throughout his twenty years in office, and he has made those decisions based on our Constitution. He voted against the Patriot Act in 2001 and against the War on Iraq in 2003, stating his belief that the war seemed to be based on shaky pretenses. He believes the U.S. Government has overstepped its bounds with respect to the War on Drugs, Federal Income Tax, Patriot Act, and the proposed national ID card. His foreign and domestic policies are derived from the concept of non-intervention and belief in the free market, reinforced by sound decision making at the state and local level. The Federal Government's only job is to protect you, not infantilize you. For those who wish for Government to participate in humanitarian niceties, he recommends donating money to charities and NPO's, as opposed to spending other people's money for one's own purposes. Though it took time to accept this notion, I believe that this kind of limit on federal power maximizes the liberty and freedom of every single American."
I was very excited when I read this article because I don't hear much about Ron Paul here in central Arkansas.
Just wanted to share this.
