“Bruce Fein’s participation adds to our campaign’s already intellectual heft, enabling us to more broadly engage the conversation about constitutionality, civil liberties and the dangers to national security of an increasingly interventionist foreign policy,” said Ron Paul 2012 Campaign Chairman Jesse Benton.

Mr. Fein served as associate deputy attorney and general counsel to the Federal Communications Commission under President Ronald Reagan. He served as Research Director for Republicans on the Joint Congressional Committee on Covert Arms Sales to Iran, and on the American Bar Associations Committee on Presidential Signing Statements. He has been a Visiting Fellow for Constitutional Studies at the Heritage Foundation and an adjunct scholar at American Enterprise Institute. He has advised numerous countries on constitutional reform, including South Africa, Hungary and Russia.

Advisors don't really do anything. It's sort of like an endorsement.

But... it's Bruce Fein.

[CaptUSA]

This is great! Bruce sounds like the biggest nerd when he speaks, but he writes beautifully. I hope to see some articles in the near future.

By the way, if you like reading the big words, check out his book, "The American EMpire Before the Fall"! Simply fantastic.

[TexMac]

But... it's Bruce Fein.

Yeah, it's cool but it won't help with the email/phone problem.:rolleyes:

[Imaginos]

Yes!

His voice is a little weird. But he seems to be a smart man.

[PatriotOne]

He fits like a glove and definately value added. He'll make a great advisor.

[Imaginos]

Nice voice and smooth talking does not make a good strategist.
Just think about our 'smooth talker in chief' in the White House and his unmatched brilliance.
I will take Brue Fein any day over any of smooth talkers with empty brains.

[specsaregood]

His voice is a little weird. But he seems to be a smart man.

like capt said above, his book is not for those with limited reading ability. its a great book, but it will work your brain.

[Eric21ND]

Fein is an intellectual, that is crystal clear if you ever heard him speak.

[CaptUSA]

like capt said above, his book is not for those with limited reading ability. its a great book, but it will work your brain.

Yeah, that's what made it so great! Definitely not for a beginner, and unless you have a handy dictionary, not for someone with a limited vocabulary, but if you enjoy having your brain exercised, you will love this book.

(On a side note, my grandfather used to use the most obscure vocabulary and when I'd ask what a word meant, he'd answer me with 4 or 5 other words that I didn't understand. It was a great way for a child to be exposed to a richer language. Reading Fein's book brought back many of those memories.)

This is great! Big Plus...

Ron Paul campaign welcomes constitutional law heavyweight Bruce Fein as Senior Advisor








commentator, analyst to consult on legal issues





Lake Jackson, Texas– The Ron Paul 2012 presidential campaign announced today that constitutional and international law expert Bruce Fein will join the campaign as senior advisor on legal matters.

“Bruce Fein’s participation adds to our campaign’s already intellectual heft, enabling us to more broadly engage the conversation about constitutionality, civil liberties and the dangers to national security of an increasingly interventionist foreign policy,” said Ron Paul 2012 campaign Chairman Jesse Benton.

Mr. Fein served as associate deputy attorney and general counsel to the federal communications commission under president ronald reagan. He served as research director for republicans on the joint congressional committee on covert arms sales to iran, and on the american bar associations committee on presidential signing statements. He has been a visiting fellow for constitutional studies at the heritage foundation and an adjunct scholar at american enterprise institute. He has advised numerous countries on constitutional reform, including south africa, hungary and russia.

Mr. Fein graduated from harvard law school with honors in 1972. He has worked in and out of government in washington, d.c. For 39 years, and penned a weekly column for the washington times for more than two decades. He is a frequent witness before congress.

Mr. Fein is the founding member of bruce fein & associates, inc., and is a principal of a public advocacy organization, the lichfield group.

He is the author of constitutional peril: The life and death struggle for our constitution and democracy, and american empire before the fall.

About his appointment, mr. Fein stated: “i am honored to advance the republican presidential aspirations of ron paul. He is the only candidate in the field who understands and practices the constitutional principles and philosophy of the founding fathers that made this nation a government of the people, by the people, for the people. He is the only candidate who knows that limited government and war are antonyms, not synonyms. He is the only candidate who repudiates aimless, endless wars at extravagant expense. And dr. Paul is the only candidate that recognizes that the glory of a republic is liberty, not domination.”

I wished they would have picked Gerry Spence. I have my reservations about Bruce Fein.

Could someone explain to me why this is a good thing? Will it help broaden Dr. Paul's base of support? I am not very familiar with him, so any insight would be helpful.

The Greatest Plot Against the Ron Paul Camp To Date

Tuesday, 30. August 2011

Who ‘Really’ Is this Bruce Fein?

“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague.” - Marcus Tullius Cicero

Last week, right after publishing my article on Congresswoman Schmidt and Bruce Fein’s brilliant foreign lobby money rechanneling-laundering scheme, and to my shock, I found out about this:

The Ron Paul 2012 Presidential Campaign announced today that constitutional and international law expert Bruce Fein will join the campaign as senior advisor on legal matters.
“Bruce Fein’s participation adds to our campaign’s already intellectual heft, enabling us to more broadly engage the conversation about constitutionality, civil liberties and the dangers to national security of an increasingly interventionist foreign policy,” said Ron Paul 2012 Campaign Chairman Jesse Benton.

While some at Rep. Paul’s Camp were busy celebrating and cheering the announcement as a brilliant strategic move, I was frantically gathering cases and research notes, corresponding with current and former colleagues from the intelligence community who had come to support Rep. Paul, and communicating with a few friends with Rep. Paul’s Campaign who were equally troubled by this development.

I am not sure, but it is safe to say, Gerry has been battling BIG Government for a very long time.

Well it makes sense now that I think about it. I'm an attorney and an associate of mine just got back from Gerry's trial college, and spoke very highly of Gerry. Has he ever made any public indication of support? I think Gerry's endorsement would push several RP leaners in my office into the RP supporter camp.

Stewart Rhodes knows Gerry Spence, but I could not find any endorsement of Ron Paul by Gerry Spence.

Besides the article linking him with $$millions from Foreign Lobbyists..

Bruce Fein is an adjunct professoer for AEI American Enterprise Institute. Probably the most pro-war neo-con assembly of folks.

Fein is not going to help Ron Paul win anything in 2012.

Absolutely irrelevant.

If you've ever heard Bruce speak (watch the videos earlier in the thread), or if you've read his book you'll know that he is on our side. Doug Wead, also an adviser to the campaign, helped to get TWO Bushes elected. But he's on our side too. Although Bruce might have working relationships with neocons, he is definitely not a neocon himself. The fact that he's willing to be involved in Ron's campaign proves that. Don't forget that Bruce was the Deputy Attorney General underneath Ronald Reagan which gives both him and the campaign tremendous credibility. Upper level Bush and Reagan Administration members are coming our direction means we are winning!

But don't take my word about Bruce, watch his speeches, and read his books to find out for yourself.

[vita3]

I'm familiar with some of his speeches & books.. I like what I hear, but AEI is a criminal orginization in my book, that also gives fantastic speeches & publishes books.
They are also Dick Cheney & other neo-cons homebase. I don't get how Fein can be a part of them, if he is so good in your book.

I have also followed Sibel Edmonds for a few years & think she's a pertty honest lady thru & thru.

I think Ron can win pretty easily to be honest with you, if he keeps it honest.

You know that Ron works in a place with a lot of people that we don't like. Does that mean he's a bad person? In fact Ron has even worked with Barney Frank on some things (such as Auditing the Fed). Imagine that.

Also Bruce spoke at the Rally for the Republic back in 2008. Ron Paul obviously likes and trusts Bruce. In fact Ron thinks so highly of Bruce that he hired him as a surrogate for his campaign. Now if Ron trusts Bruce, doesn't that say something?
