Every generation there comes a man which exudes the principles that America was founded on and every man should aspire to. In this age that man is Ron Paul, the "Dark Horse" candidate from Texas. Ron Paul is currently a sitting congressman in the House of Representatives and has been re-elected to his office ten times by the people he serves. In the arena of politics it is rare to find a man which can resist the temptations of money and power which is offered to them if they will simply serve the lobbyist and those which are considered to be the political elite.

For a long time now Americans have been led to believe that the government is the only way that we can solve all of our societal ills. We allow the government to grab control of our very lives and mandate to us as to what behavior acceptable. It all starts with the government funding certain programs which are deemed to be important to our societal cohesiveness. In fact, social programs which the government contributes to, soon become controlled by the government and is then subjected to the dictates of politicians with an agenda contrary to the best interest of the American public.

We have seen in many election cycles where all of the candidates will promise "Real Change." They speak of how Washington is corrupt, but they are part of the corruption which is in politics and they have no intention of changing anything. Americans have become accustomed to the lies and the broken promises espoused by politicians. This is something which should never have been tolerated and we find ourselves in a state of apathy which is only going to lead to acquiescence, and eventually slavery.

Those that are in power will rule over us and it is because we were not diligent and did not hold our representatives accountable for their actions. However, there is one man that has emerged which wants nothing more than to lead us to freedom. However, some seem to be hesitant, and yes, even frightened to make the leap into true and meaningful change.

Ron Paul is the man to initiate these real changes and his voting record speaks louder for his character, than any man can. If nothing else Ron Paul has been consistent and has stood by his convictions and when one actually researches his stance on the issues, it is very difficult to disagree with him, unless you simply choose to misrepresent his positions.

This is something we have been witnessing in the media, as well as, by other candidates. At first, it was a matter of not mentioning
