Part 1
Ron Paul 20/20 Banned ABC News Interview with John Stossel FFRREEEEDDOOMM!!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohKz9OeiI0g Congressman Ron Paul of Texas enjoys a national reputation as the premier advocate for liberty in politics today. Dr. Paul is the leading spokesman in Washington for limited constitutional government, low taxes, free markets, and a return to sound monetary policies based on commodity-backed currency. He is known among both his colleagues in Congress and his constituents for his consistent voting record in the House of Representatives: Dr. Paul never votes for legislation unless the proposed measure is expressly authorized by the Constitution. In the words of former Treasury Secretary William Simon, Dr. Paul is the "one exception to the Gang of 535" on Capitol Hill. Dr. Paul's consistent voting record prompted one Congressman to comment that "Ron Paul personifies the Founding Fathers' ideal of the citizen-statesman. He makes it clear that his principles will never be compromised, and they never are." Another Congresswoman added that "There are few people in public life who, through thick and thin, rain or shine, stick to their principles. Ron Paul is one of those few." |
Part 2
HOMESCHOOLING CHAMPION Ron Paul believes no nation can remain free when the state has greater influence over the knowledge and values transmitted to children than the family does. That's why, during his time in Congress, Ron Paul has introduced legislation to: * Help parents better educate their children by providing parents with a $5,000 per child tax credit for tutors, books, computers, and other K-12 related educational needs. * Ensure that the federal government treats high school diplomas earned through homeschooling the same as other high school diplomas. PUT PARENTS BACK IN CHARGE Congressman Paul wants parents to have the freedom to choose the best educational options for their children, and his commitment to ensuring homeschooling remains a practical alternative for American families is unmatched by any other Presidential candidate. As President, he will veto any legislation that encroaches on homeschooling parents' rights. Returning control of education to parents and teachers on the local level is the centerpiece of Ron Paul's education agenda |
Spreading Goodness Through Force: Ron Paul Part 3
As an Air Force veteran, Ron Paul believes national defense is the single most important responsibility the Constitution entrusts to the federal government.In Congress, Ron Paul voted to authorize military force to hunt down Osama bin Laden and authored legislation to specifically target terrorist leaders and bring them to justice. Today, however, hundreds of thousands of our fighting men and women have been stretched thin all across the globe in over 135 countries -- often without a clear mission, any sense of what defines victory, or the knowledge of when they'll be permanently reunited with their families.
Acting as the world's policeman and nation-building weakens our country, puts our troops in harm's way, and sends precious resources to other nations in the midst of an historic economic crisis. Taxpayers are forced to spend billions of dollars each year to protect the borders of other countries, while Washington refuses to deal with our own border security needs. Congress has been rendered virtually irrelevant in foreign policy decisions and regularly cedes authority to an executive branch that refuses to be held accountable for its actions. Far from defeating the enemy, our current policies provide incentive for more to take up arms against us. That's why, as Commander-in-Chief, Dr. Paul will lead the fight to: * Make securing our borders the top national security priority. * Avoid long and expensive land wars that bankrupt our country by using constitutional means to capture or kill terrorist leaders who helped attack the U.S. and continue to plot further attacks. * Guarantee our intelligence community's efforts are directed toward legitimate threats and not spying on innocent Americans through unconstitutional power grabs like the Patriot Act. * End the nation-building that is draining troop morale, increasing our debt, and sacrificing lives with no end in sight. * Follow the Constitution by asking Congress to declare war before one is waged. * Only send our military into conflict with a clear mission and all the tools they need to complete the job -- and then bring them home. * Ensure our veterans receive the care, benefits, and honors they have earned when they return. * Revitalize the military for the 21st century by eliminating waste in a trillion-dollar military budget. * Prevent the TSA from forcing Americans to either be groped or ogled just to travel on an airplane and ultimately abolish the unconstitutional agency. * Stop taking money from the middle class and the poor to give to rich dictators through foreign aid. As President, Ron Paul's national defense policy will ensure that the greatest nation in human history is strong, secure, and respected. |
More Generous With Our Immigration: Ron Paul Part 4
A nation without borders is no nation at all.
It just doesn't make sense to fight terrorists abroad while leaving our front door unlocked. Unfortunately, for far too long, neither major political party has had the courage to do what is necessary to tackle the problem. Instead, we're presented with so-called "solutions" that involve amnesty proposals or further restricting Americans' civil liberties through programs like REAL ID. Ron Paul opposes both of these schemes and believes they will only make illegal immigration and the problems associated with it worse. He has been proud to see states exercising their Tenth Amendment rights and protecting their citizens by refusing to comply with the unconstitutional REAL ID law. While the federal government neglects its constitutional responsibility to protect our borders, it continues to push mandates on the states to provide free education and medical care to illegal immigrants at a time when the states are drowning in debt. This must not be tolerated any longer. Like most Americans, Ron Paul also understands just how valuable legal immigration is to our country. Immigrants who want to work hard, obey our laws, and live the American Dream have always been great assets. COMMON SENSE REFORMS If elected President, Ron Paul will work to implement the following common sense reforms: * Enforce Border Security -- America should be guarding her own borders and enforcing her own laws instead of policing the world and implementing UN mandates. * No Amnesty - The Obama Administration's endorsement of so-called "Comprehensive Immigration Reform," granting amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants, will only encourage more law-breaking. * Abolish the Welfare State -- Taxpayers cannot continue to pay the high costs to sustain this powerful incentive for illegal immigration. As Milton Friedman famously said, you can't have open borders and a welfare state. * End Birthright Citizenship -- As long as illegal immigrants know their children born here will be granted U.S. citizenship, we'll never be able to control our immigration problem. * Protect Lawful Immigrants -- As President, Ron Paul will encourage legal immigration by streamlining the entry process without rewarding lawbreakers. As long as our borders remain wide open, the security and safety of the American people are at stake. As President, Ron Paul will address immigration by fighting for effective solutions that protect our nation, uphold the rule of law, and respect every American citizen's civil liberties. |

I Don't Want To Run Your Life: Ron Paul Part 5
Dr. Ron Paul spent his entire career in the medical profession working to uphold this simple principle by ensuring his patients received the best care he could give them, even if they could not afford it.
Dr. Paul understands the key to effective and efficient medical care is the doctor-patient relationship. Yet, federal bureaucrats continue to believe that their one-size-fits-all policies will lower costs, increase access, and cure an ailing industry. Instead, excessive regulation, immoral mandates, and short-sighted incentives have created a system where no one is happy, doctors pass quickly from one patient to the next, insurance is expensive to get and difficult to maintain, and politicians place corporate interests ahead of their constituents. FREEDOM NOT FORCE The answer to our nation's health care crisis lies in freedom -- not force. As President, Ron Paul will fight to put you back in control of your health care decisions, save you money on medical expenses, and institute reforms that will once again make America's health care system the standard for other nations to follow. He will work with Congress to: * Repeal ObamaCare and end its unconstitutional mandate that all Americans must carry only government-approved health insurance or answer to the IRS. * Allow purchase of health insurance across state lines. * Provide tax credits and deductions for all medical expenses. * Exempt those with terminal illnesses from the employee portion of payroll taxes while they are suffering from such illnesses or are incurring significant medical costs associated with their conditions. * Give a payroll deduction to any worker who is the primary caregiver for a spouse, parent, or child with a terminal illness. * Ensure that those harmed during medical treatment receive fair compensation while reducing the burden of costly malpractice litigation on the health care system by providing a tax credit for "negative outcomes" insurance purchased before medical treatment. * Guarantee that what is taken from taxpayers to pay for Medicare and Medicaid is not raided for other purposes. * Make all Americans eligible for Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) and remove government-imposed barriers to obtaining HSAs. * Stop the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) from interfering with Americans' knowledge of and access to dietary supplements and alternative treatments. * Prevent federal bureaucrats from tracking every citizen's medical history from cradle to grave by prohibiting the use of taxpayer funds for a national database of personal health information. Ron Paul proudly worked every day to honor the trust his patients placed in him, and he will do the same as President with the confidence of the American people, who deserve a government that "does no harm" to their health care. |
