[As you well know...]

Let's not neglect to cite Executive Branch and The Legislative Branch for blame. They sat by while the Judical Branch destroyed the co-equal Branches of govt concept and the separation of powers when the Justices declared theirs was the sole role to decide what the Constitution meant.<p. We the peole are also to blame for voting in the same individuals who habitually violate their oath to protect/defend the Constitution

  Q. What can the ordinary individual citizen do to change the direction in which our government is moving?

  A. Well the citizen is very important because, ultimately, the type of government we have is a reflection of what the people want. Now I know that will be hard for a lot of us to swallow. We who have been fighting this battle and probably your readership believing that they are totally ignored. The problem is that the enemy, the opposition, the believers in big government outnumber us and they have the greatest influence in numbers. Even numbers aren't the total issue. It's the right people, in the right places, in the positions of influence. So this means media control, who is controlling the universities, who is controlling the purse strings. We have recently seen this; a small number of dedicated, well organized, determined people who happen to believe in building this world empire, called the Neocons, are very, very effective. So the Congress reflects those views. In the broader sense we still have a lot of American people who say; Yes, I am for the Constitution,I am for limited government, except for: "I need this". The biggest infraction probably comes from big business. They talk about free markets and a lot of things, but they come up here (to Washington D.C.) and all they want are special benefits.

  So the only thing left for the average person is to act out politically and that is, of course, what I did. I was very uncertain about whether I could possibly win a Congressional Seat with the views I hold. We have to participate. The number one thing we all have to do is be educated and to know what is going on. That is why the internet is such a grand opportunity for us and web sites like the Sierra Times are just fantastic. There are a growing number of people who are starting to read and understand and reflect our views. Unfortunately we are still in the minority, but there is reason to be optimistic, to keep up the fight. Texas Straight Talk: An Interview With Ron Paul - Sierra Times. ...

   

  Q. Sir, on May 6th, on the floor of the house you asked the question: "Are the American people determined they still wish to have a Constitutional Republic." How would you answer that question, Sir?

  A. A growing number of Americans want it, but a minority, and that is why we are losing this fight in Washington at the moment. That isn't as discouraging as it sounds, because if you had asked me that in 1976 when I first came to Washington, I would have said there were a lot fewer who wanted it then. We have drifted along and, although we have still enjoyed a lot of prosperity in the last twenty-five years, we have further undermined the principles of the Constitution and private property market economy. Therefore, I think we have to continue to do what we are doing to get a larger number. But if we took a vote in this country and told them what it meant to live in a Constitutional Republic and what it would mean if you had a Congress dedicated to the Constitution they would probably reject it. It reminds me of a statement by Walter Williams when he said that if you had two candidates for office, one running on the programs of Stalin and the other running on the programs of Jefferson the American people would probably vote for the candidate who represented the programs of Stalin. If you didn't put the name on it and just looked at the programs, they would say, Oh yeah, we believe in national health care and we believe in free education for everybody and we believe we should have gun control. Therefore, the majority of the people would probably reject Thomas Jefferson. So that describes the difficulty, but then again, we have to look at some of the positive things which means that we just need more people dedicated to the rule of law. Otherwise, there will be nothing left here within a short time. Texas Straight Talk: An Interview With Ron Paul - Sierra Times. ...
