Message from Ron Paul
Ron Paul 2008 ^ | 09/20/2007 | Ron Paul

Dear friend,

Our American way of life is under attack. And it is up to us to save it.

The world's elites are busy forming a North American Union. If they succeed, as they did in forming the European Union, the good ol’ USA will only be a memory. We cannot let that happen.

The UN wants to confiscate our firearms and impose a global tax. The UN elites want to control the oceans with the Law of the Sea Treaty. And they want to use our military to police the world.

Our right to own and use property is fading because bureaucrats and special interests are abusing eminent domain.

Our right to educate our children as we choose is under assault. "No Child Left Behind" is seeing to that. And our right to say "no" to forced mental screening of our school-aged children is nearly gone.

The elites gave us a national ID card. They also gave us the most misnamed legislation in history: The Patriot Act. And these same people are pushing to give amnesty to illegal immigrants and erase our national borders.

Record government debt is putting a burden on our children and grandchildren that is shameful.

Yes. Our American way of life is under attack. And it's understandable that many are concerned, even discouraged, about the kind of country our children and grandchildren will inherit.

But we must never let discouragement become surrender.

One reason I am NOT discouraged is because I know I am not fighting alone. Each day I head out I know that you and thousands of other patriotic, freedom-loving Americans are right beside me, standing brave and true for what is good and right.

I need your help now, more than ever, to save the country we love...for the people we love.

My wife Carol and I celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary early this year. We are proud parents of five children and 18 grandchildren. We love them very much, as I know you love your family.

As a U.S. congressman, I always think about the well-being of my family and of all the families of our great nation when I cast a vote or introduce legislation. I also remember that I have sworn a solemn oath to uphold and protect the Constitution of the United States.

For me, upholding that oath is the first and best way to preserve and protect the blessed American way of life for our children and grandchildren.

And now you know why I'm running for president of the United States.

Sincerely,

Ron

His message might have more impact if he would use “strippers for ru” to give the message....

I agree. We must see the War on Terrorism through to the end.

Ron, can you see the little bird perched on my hand? BTW, are you going to escort your buddy Imanutjob down to Ground Zero, since you think he is not a threat to us?

No mention of the islamo-scum that threaten to destroy us.

But he did mention the patriot Act, while failing to note that many of those who voted for it and support it are also the MOST vocal on our loss of sovereignty. Including two of his colleagues, Duncan Hunter and Tom Tancredo.

When Hunter was in law school, Paul was already in Congress supporting the military & U.S. sovereignty.

Ron Paul’s ideas of supporting the military are not exactly a selling point.

Does the above post sound like the rantings of an anti-war leftist or neocon conspiracy kook to you? Do you agree that the National ID, NAU, UN, socialist education, central bank, and regressive income tax are all real or should I take the green pill and wake up as if nothing happened?

You know Jim Rob has spoken out against Ron Paul on several posts and does not support him.

Maybe so now, but he has always been pro-U.S. sovereignty, more so than Hunter and Tancredo combined.

I understand that, which is why I excerpted the part about the borders and sovereignty. Which means that Paul still supports 90% of what Jim said and he'll still be better on foreign policy and the war than the Dims & some of the GOP candidates.

I really wish one of our presidential candidates would build a speech around Jim’s points. And mean it.

"he'll still be better on foreign policy and the war than the Dims & some of the GOP candidates."

Ron Paul is the only GOP candidate that would retreat and surrender to Al Qaeda in Iraq.

Maybe you should ping Jim when you talk about what he believes. Shouldn’t he have an opportunity to comment?

It'll be the year 2050 and you guys will still be complaining about the need to "stay the course." While I have always disagreed with Paul on an immediate withdrawal, I sure in the heck don't want any permanent bases or long-term commitment either in the Middle East.

None of the Democrats though are in favor of strict border security or a strong national defense. Paul would at least secure the country, and warn the ragheads if they ever think about attacking us again it'll be their asses. Tell me, if the race boiled down to Paul or a Dem you wouldn't boogie to the voting booth for Paul just because a portion of his foreign policy sucks.
