Amendment proposals are the opposite of serious, concrete legislative initiatives.

Constitutional amendments can only become law by being ratified by a quorum of state legislatures - Congress' role is supplementary.

And he didn't even suggest amendments that have any chance of garnering more thanh a few token votes.

Moreover, these are paragraph-long proposals that took zero time or expertise to craft.

I'm talking about drafting actual laws that the Congress can enact, that have a credible chance at passage and which engage the complexity of the existing federal code.

Your examples underscore Ron Paul's incompetence as a legislator.

Did whomever you support make ANY effort to help us?

Rudy McRomney cannot beat the Hildabeast/Obama ticket.

Ron Paul can.

Today, I worked with a Constitution party member and a ACLU red diaper doper baby on an event to support Ron Paul.
Polar opposites in the political spectrum.
I am Pro-Victory in WW4 btw.
This IS the Revolution you have been waiting for.

Fine, want to eliminate those, here is another one.

H.R.2415 : To reduce the price of gasoline by allowing for offshore drilling, eliminating Federal obstacles to constructing refineries and providing incentives for investment in refineries, suspending Federal fuel taxes when gasoline prices reach a benchmark amount, and promoting free trade.
Sponsor: Rep Paul, Ron [TX-14] (introduced 5/21/2007) Cosponsors (None)
Committees: House Ways and Means; House Natural Resources; House Financial Services

I have the perfect candidate, with the perfect voting record.

BTW, would we have had pearl harbour if we did not cut off japanese oil supplies?
