Ron Paul/running for Republican candidate for President/check him out for yourself...
Who is this Ron Paul that is rocking the boat and alarming the entrenched political establishment?
I had to check him out for myself and so should you. Based on what he has written (go to the articles URL) he seems almost too good to be true-pro-life/anti-abortion-anti-Fed reserve-anti-income tax-anti-gun control-anti-Big Federal Government-Christian-anti-globalist-etc., etc. Based on his voting record and what he has written (please peruse the articles URL as I did) I would vote for him just to make a statement against the Globalist elite's agenda-just to let them know that there is still substantial grass roots opposition to their designs-just to have myself included in the statistical percentage of those who still stand for these things and in opposition to them-like someone has already said, if they are eventually going to prosecute me for being a Christian and living by and evangelizing the ideals of the Bible I want to make sure that they have enough evidence to convict me!
Above all, if you agree with him, pass it on-that's how a grass roots movement works, you've got to pass it on...
Now I am a hard core student of the conspiratorial view of history so forgive me here if I offend. My feeling is that he is a genuine and sincere maverick who stands against an errant, Leviathan financial/political establishment and who truly believes, as do I, in the benefits of liberty to be had by strict adherence to the ideals of the Constitution based upon his Christian convictions-but then again history has recorded even more elaborate ploys and a long term con is the most effective-even if he is a plant, a decoy sent in to flush the opposition out of the woodwork at least they'll be made aware of the fact that opposition is still out here and that it does indeed exist-or a spoiler sent in like Ross Perot was to split the conservative vote and let the powers that be install Clinton-it doesn't matter-as with any politician, I would be standing for what he says he stands for-not for him-but if he is genuine and sincere in his positions then I would genuinely and sincerely support him.
I am 50 years old and I have never cast a vote for a President in my entire life but I am so sick and tired of the way that things have been going in this country and in this world that I might just do it if the opportunity arises for Ron Paul just to be added as one small voice to the many small voices that together could become one great voice. Things aren't right and this might be our last chance to seize the day in an attempt to rectify them or at least to say that we tried...
