Hi Bryan,

I noticed that it was not always easy to list out all of Ron Paul's stand on the issues in a single page.

So i thought I'll create a single page comic strip on it to help bloggers and webmasters convey Ron Paul stand on the issues. It's a fast and effective way of listing them out. Just embed the comic strip to your blog/site and let Ron Paul do the talking!

See the comic strip here:-

I hope Ron Paul supporters will find it useful.

Cheers!

Yes, precisely. But it was a loosely formed coalition to begin with. The Philosophy of Liberty (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=muHg86Mys7I)is the foundation and everyone should at least have a good understanding of that.

Checking the cosponsors has been interesting. Why do Republicans hate conservatism?

There were 19 votes on HR 3199 (http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=h109-3199&tab=votes). He voted Yea on that one to kill it:



http://www.govtrack.us/congress/vote.xpd?vote=h2005-413

House Vote #413 (Jul 21, 2005)
On Motion to Recommit with Instructions: H R 3199 USA PATRIOT and Terrorism Prevention Reauthorization Act

Purpose: The motion to recommit is a final opportunity to revise a bill before passage by sending it back to committee with instructions on how to revise the bill. The motion can be used both constructively and to kill a bill. When used constructively, the committee can actually report the bill back to the House floor immediately after the motion, resulting in no delay in the consideration of the bill. But the motion is also the opposition’s last chance to kill a bill before it moves to a final up-or-down vote in the House. When used to kill a bill, a vote in favor of the motion is a vote to kill or delay the bill.

Yea TX-14 Paul, Ronald [R]

The final vote:

No TX-14 Paul, Ronald [R]

The reasons why those "elite" NWO sickies do not want Ron, sound like excellent policies to me and for the USA:

Ron Paul’s big moment
The obstetrician, numismatist and hater of the Fed and the UN who just might win in Iowa
Dec 31st 2011 | from the print edition

PEOPLE who say that politicians are all the same may be in for a surprise next week. Heading the polls in Iowa, whose caucuses on January 3rd mark the true start of the Republican race for a presidential candidate, is a 76-year-old libertarian from Texas with a worldview so wacky and a programme so radical that he was recently discounted as a no-hoper. Even if he wins in quirky Iowa, Ron Paul will never be America’s president. But his coming this far tells you something about the mood of Republican voters. A substantial number like a man who wants to abolish the Federal Reserve, introduce a new currency to compete with the dollar, eliminate five departments of the federal government within a year, pull out of the United Nations and close all America’s foreign bases, which he likens to “an empire”.

How did such a man rise to the top of the polls?....

Unfortunately, how much we love our dear Congressman Ron Paul, winning the White House, cannot change the Senate and Congress who really make the laws in the USA...
So, regime change is not the answer.
The only thing to save our ailing planet is the "Third Universal Theory" of Muammar al-Qathafi!|

I completely support Ron Paul in his interest and belief we need to remove ourselves from our "policeman" role around the world. An excellent book and definately worth adding to your personal library is a book written by George Ball, "The Passionate Attachment" who was the undersecretary to Kennedy and then Johnson. George Ball details many of the atrocities commited by Israel onto the Palistinians while acting as if the underdog. Ball notes Israel was the bully and aimed to dominate and take over the lands meant for the Palistinians. Ball mentions Israel's effort to sink the US warship the USS Liberty in the 1960's so they could violate the cease fire and take over Golan. Ball details the spy actions of Pollard, a Jewish-American citizen who stole sensitive documents and secrets for Israel. One of the secrets involved cluster bombs which Ball mentions Israel stole and sold to others for a profit. Ball mentions Eisenhower as the only President who stood toe to toe with Israel when Israel planned to take over the Suez Canal. Eisenhower also learned of the Jordan river diversion in Israel's effort to steal from the Palistinians a much needed water source. Der Yassin is also detailed...a neutral village outside of Jerusalem where Israeli commandos killed everyone in the village. Ball mentions a Swiss Red Cross worker who counted over 30 pregnant women killed by the commandos Israeli leaders referred to as heroes. It was no wonder the United Nations continually insisted Israel pay reparations to the Palestinians who fled from their homes in sheer fright. What we never knew happened due to efforts stateside to hush it up....was something surely handed down from generation to generation for the Palestinians who fled to neighboring countries such as Lebanon. Is it really any wonder why there is such a disdain for Israel by its neighboring countries? Must we continue to be blinded and support Israel no matter how often Israel commits atrocities?

As taxpayers we need to pay down a debt where interest is being compounded and further loans are sought to balance each fiscal year of spending. We are a long way off from paying down the debt. In a book written by Ron Paul ...End the Fed.....on page 152 Paul notes Barack Obama raised 750 million dollars in his presidential campaign. As noted by Paul, Obama promised he would limit his spending by accepting public funds. "By the end, Wall Street, the banks, the military-industrial complex and the medical industrial complex all got a piece of the action" as noted on page 152-153. Mitt Romney and Obama have Goldman Sachs as a main contributor to their campaign. Remember it was Paulson as the CEO for Goldman Sachs who was appointed as Treasurer by the not so intelligent Bush president and got Congress to hand out nearly 800 billion as a bailout to the banks. Check out a movie narrated by Matt Daman....Inside Job....a worthy addition to your personal library of the history we need to remember and not forget.

I wonder what percentage of our politicians accept a consulting fee or campaign contribution from a business interest the politician is supposed to be evaluating as a key figure or member of a governmental oversight committee? NPR radio revealed that 36 politicians in Arizona co-sponsored a bill to prosecute illegal aliens. According to NPR, 30 of these 36 politicians received campaign contributions directly/indirectly from the prison corporation contracted to house criminals in Arizona. What a wonderful windfall profit to suddenly bloat the jails with more criminals by working behind the scenes to introduce a bill against illegal aliens. NPR revealed a nation-wide corporation named ALEC American Legislative Exchange Council that pays all the expenses for our politicians and their families for nice getaways....that are not declared since called a scholarship. The ALEC corp would not disclose to NPR the names of the politicians as their members. On these getaways....the politicians meet with lobbyists representing a business interest and are given proposed legislation to bring back to their respective governing bodies. Senator Pierce in Arizona was succesfully recalled from office at the end of 2011 for his primary role in introducing the illegal immigration measures in Arizona from a ALEC getaway. Check it our in NPR's website by searching ALEC, Peirce, Arizona.
