Congressman Ron Paul is the leading advocate for freedom in our nation’s capital. As a member of the U.S. House of Representatives, Dr. Paul tirelessly works for limited constitutional government, low taxes, free markets, and a return to sound monetary policies. He is known among his congressional colleagues and his constituents for his consistent voting record. 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.
Ron Paul was born and raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He graduated from Gettysburg College and the Duke University School of Medicine, before proudly serving as a flight surgeon in the U.S. Air Force during the 1960s. He and his wife Carol moved to Texas in 1968, where he began his medical practice in Brazoria County. As a specialist in obstetrics/gynecology, Dr. Paul has delivered more than 4,000 babies. He and Carol, who reside in Lake Jackson, Texas, are the proud parents of five children and have 17 grandchildren.
While serving in Congress during the late 1970s and early 1980s, Dr. Paul’s limited-government ideals were not popular in Washington. In 1976, he was one of only four Republican congressmen to endorse Ronald Reagan for president.
During that time, Congressman Paul served on the House Banking committee, where he was a strong advocate for sound monetary policy and an outspoken critic of the Federal Reserve’s inflationary measures. He was an unwavering advocate of pro-life and pro-family values. Dr. Paul consistently voted to lower or abolish federal taxes, spending and regulation, and used his House seat to actively promote the return of government to its proper constitutional levels. In 1984, he voluntarily relinquished his House seat and returned to his medical practice.
Ron PaulDr. Paul returned to Congress in 1997 to represent the 14th congressional district of Texas. He presently serves on the House Committee on Financial Services and the House Committee on Foreign Affairs. He continues to advocate a dramatic reduction in the size of the federal government and a return to constitutional principles.
Congressman Paul’s consistent voting record prompted one of his congressional colleagues to say, “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 colleague observed, “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.”
I am doing this on a dare You must continue reading it if not terrible and scary things would happen to you or your family members. I'm sure you don't want you or your family members to have scary and freaky things happening on you right? Not kidding.. Here's what happened: 3 years ago, 2005, on a lonely winter night filled with lots of snow in Chichago, a teen girl was brutally murdered, yes, after being raped.She had received a text message from her boyfriend to meet him at the pub they always meet at hours before her death. She went there, nicely dressed up. Upon reaching, her drunken boyfriend stumbled out of the pub and began to vigoursly kissed her on her face and lips. She struggled and when finally broke free, started to run. But then, the boy caught up with
her and pinned her to the ground. He raped her and then suffocate her. She lies on the cold floor motionless. The boy ran away and then came back much later with a chopper wrapped in newspaper and dragged the
girl's body to an alley. He unwrapped the newspaper off the chopper and chopped the girl's body parts, her hands, legs, and lastly head.. Since then, whenever people passed the place where the girl was being
raped and suffocated, they swore they heard a girl panting and whispering in their ears 'You are walking on the place where I was killed...' and then they
would heard a shrill laughter.. You must pass this on to your friends or family members, because the girl, Amanda is right beside you now, knowing if you sent it or not... No kidding... send this or Amanda
would do things you would get freaked out.. Here's what happened to others who didn't forward it to their friends: # CASE 1Jack Lyons received this email from his friend, upon reading it, he laughed and
deleted it. He didn't know that Amanda was beside him..the next day, he received a phone call. 'Im always watching you, Jack' and then a shrill laughter. He
freaked out and called the phone operator, and to his horror, found out that that number was not in use for 2 years after the death of the owner, Amanda Spears. then, jack went to have a bath.. He opened
the door and went in, never coming out again.. After 1 hour, his mother banged on the door and used a chopper to open the door. She screamed when she saw jack on the floor. Blood splattered on the walls and mirror. On
the mirror was a message 'Your son deserved it' And many many cases.. Im sure you don't
want to read them all... Be careful, Amanda is beside you right now, MAKE THE RIGHT DECISION...Send this to more than 20 people.Good Luck This message was sent 2 me.......DON'T SEND IT BACK 2 ME!!!!!!!
I hope more of Your Message gets spread to Our Blessed Populus.
Have fun and raise Hell in September!
Wish I could attend.
Will it be recorded? Televised?
Just think if Ron Paul won the nomination for President. He actually believes that the U.S. Constitution is the supreme law of the land. Imagine that. That means he would never take America (USA) to war except with a Declaration of War by Congress. Think how such a thing would prevent America's meddling and interventionism worldwide. Think of the billions and even trillions of tax dollars that would not need to be spent overseas. Think of how much money Halliburton would lose. Think of how much money the Federal Reserve bankers would lose by not being able to loan money to the U.S. government. It is too ghastly to think about.
I'm only 17, but I'm scared of all of the other candidates. I want to make it through college without facing a great depression.
As soon as I turn 18, you got my vote!
I can only hope that the message of Freedom and Liberty stand the test of time..as we know...history will always repeat itself for the worst .....unless...we as the People of the United States stand up and be counted and heard... there will be a time that our voices can not be avoided anymore... and if it is tried.. so be it..... a Revolution will be at hand.... no more self interest groups .. no more tyranny........no more dictatorship.....no more b***crap .... there are still many American's that care.... and I am one of the many here on SodaHead......Forever be the Constitution...and America....
you are my hero sir. thank you for all you have done and will do, you truly inspire me and so many others. I support the Ron Paul message all the way and will do all i can to spread that message. Thanks again.
Presidential Endorserment. Sir you contacted me when you first came to SodaHeda and asked for my endorsement as of you President of the United States of America. At the time I had not made up my mind who or what I really wanted in my candidate. I have seen evereything in the world in what I DO NOT WANT IN MY president. Tonight on the Fox Presidential Debate I saw what I did want in my President, That man is you. And I will be so glad to endorse you on my website. I just pray that our grass roots will still allow a fine and straight man as you a chance! Cat of the SodaHead CAT HOUSE
I wish you the very best in the up coming race. The country always needs honest moral upright men as yourself. I am pround to have you as a member of The Cat House.
MR. Congressman Ron Paul, I just wanted to say that for the first time, my wife and have really taken an interest in poltics. We owe it to you, for we like the ideals you have about giving this counrty back to the people. We feel that another if another person gets into office with same attitude as the current employee, this country is in jeopardy. We would like to say that we are behind you and we hope that other people are just as tired of getting the shaft from a government that you can't trust anymore. I feel like this is all just a bad dream and that our nitemares have just begun. We have just recently donate to you organization in hopes that it will help your effort to beome our next great leader, that makes a difference in this country and maybe the world. We wished our donation could be enough to put you over the top but hopefully, along with others it will help. I wish people who believe the same way you do would unite and stand agianst the destruction of our great country. My wife and I are the same as most of the working class in this country, who decided to venture into the class of owning our own business and thought it would be a great oppurtunity to have a little more freedom in our lives. Our business is construction and now we kinda struggle with the way the housing market is today. Our only hope is that the market makes a comeback and that we will only grow in our success, but the way this country is heading now, I can only see our dimise. This is why our hearts and thoughts go out to the people of this great country to stand together and vote someone into office that will bring the leaders of this country back to where it should be, back to dreams of making a nation that the world would envy and not hate, but build reationships based on trust and sincerity, to work together and keep from distroying this great world. We are behind you 100%, Sincerely Todd & Kate Long
