TEXAS STRAIGHT TALK BY RON PAUL Over the past month I have introduced several bills designed to address terrorism and make Americans feel more secure.

In fact, I believe only a free society can ever be truly secure. The goal should be to make terrorists feel threatened, not the American people. Here are some concrete steps Congress can take immediately to make our borders, our cities, and our...
