Who is Ron Paul?
Who the hell is Ron Paul? It’s a question that can be heard across the web and beyond. I’ve seen countless threads on discussion forums started by users begging to know more. I myself have even been on the hunt for solid information on the Texas Libertarian.
So begins my hunt for information on Ron Paul. I’ve compiled a good starting list and I’m listing his basic stances. From what I’ve found so far his voting record is superb and matches his beliefs and promises.
References:
-The Ron Paul wikipedia page contains a wealth of info. Users seem to be quite active in keeping it up to date.
-Ron Paul’s official campaign website needs some serious design help. It’s pretty terrible to be quite honest. But still, it’s a good place to get info on the Libertarian Congressman.
-His official Congress website is just like any other. General yet still informative.
-I hate Myspace, but apparently Paul doesn’t.
-A healthy archive of his speeches and writings can be found here.
-A blog that follows Ron Paul can be found here.
His basic beliefs are as follows:
Debt and Taxes
Working Americans like lower taxes. So do I. Lower taxes benefit all of us, creating jobs and allowing us to make more decisions for ourselves about our lives. (more…)
American Independence and Sovereignty
So called free trade deals and world governmental organizations like the International Criminal Court (ICC), NAFTA, GATT, WTO, and CAFTA are a threat to our independence as a nation. (more…)
War and Foreign Policy
The war in Iraq was sold to us with false information. The area is more dangerous now than when we entered it. We destroyed a regime hated by our direct enemies, the jihadists, and created thousands of new recruits for them. (more…)
Border Security and Immigration Reform
The talk must stop. We must secure our borders now. A nation without secure borders is no nation at all. It makes no sense to fight terrorists abroad when our own front door is left unlocked. This is my six point plan: (more…)
Privacy and Personal Liberty
The biggest threat to your privacy is the government. We must drastically limit the ability of government to collect and store data regarding citizens’ personal matters. (more…)
Property Rights and Eminent Domain
We must stop special interests from violating property rights and literally driving families from their homes, farms and ranches. (more…)
Granted, there will be a lot more info added to the web in the coming months, but I think this is a good place to start. Hope this helps!
