In the 08 campaign, early on, I heard about Ron Paul, and I watched him in a repub debate in the primaries; i felt that I almost totally agreed with him on domestic issues, but differed with him on all the foreign issues. Then I heard that he was for gay marriage or something, that he was lax on some conservative issues. I haven’t followed him after his presidential bid because I didn’t really know about him. Since you are a supporter of him, please ease my worries on his ideals on domestic issues.
Just want someone to come in the WH and follow the rule of law. End the Fed and eliminate the personal income tax. Someone to do away with “natural born citizenship” based on crossing over the fence and having a baby here (anchor baby). Protect our borders as they should be protected.
If we are at war with a country or have them on a watch list, then we should not allow their citizens to enter our country. Do away with the UN and eliminate all trade polices that always seem to be one sided. Sending China 4 billion a year to encourage them to purchase our goods is not really a fair practice or open trade.
Just a few items I would like changed and I think at this time someone like RP would do that. Now, getting congress to follow through could be tough. Maybe a few EO would help.
Right now we really have 0 leaders in the GOP. Once we had many. Palin, DeMint, Bachmann seem to be in the news and standing up, or at least attempting to for the Constitution.
I read some articles RP has written. Worth a peruse through.

2012, probably too old to run, but as Sec of Tres., I do think he would be spot on.
Lets just hope we have a strong 2010 return to congress and win the WH in 2012 with someone with some intestinal fortitude to bring this great nation back.
Good luck. Call your congressman if he has not signed on to H.R. 1207 to audit the Fed and hopefully eliminate it in the near future.
His positions on domestic policy often get mischaracterized. He's been accused of being "for" things like gay marriage, abortion, marijuana and other "social conservative" issues. He doesn't find enumerated in the Constitution and authorized by the States the power for Congress to control them, so he votes against federal legislation to do so.
