For my first post, I would like to introduce to you the first candidate I have EVER been excited about since I first registered to vote almost ten years ago. I think it is fitting that I start off with letting you see what I believe and what I hope for. By showing you which candidate I stand behind and why, you may better understand me, an American citizen, and all my future posts on out!
Ron Paul doesn't cry under pressure or to trick the polls in a donut bakery.
Ron Paul does not hand out the word change for a cent a piece.
Ron Paul does not believe in invading other countries.
Ron Paul does not have millions to buy your vote. On the invasion and destruction and on bringing OUR TROOPS HOME, Ron Paul is....
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. This war has cost more than 3,000 American lives, thousands of seriously wounded, and hundreds of billions of dollars. We must have new leadership in the White House to ensure this never happens again.
Both Jefferson and Washington warned us about entangling ourselves in the affairs of other nations. Today, we have troops in 130 countries. We are spread so thin that we have too few troops defending America.
Under no circumstances should the U.S. again go to war as the result of a resolution that comes from an unelected, foreign body, such as the United Nations.
Too often we give foreign aid and intervene on behalf of governments that are despised. Then, we become despised. Too often we have supported those who turn on us, like the Kosovars who aid Islamic terrorists, or the Afghan jihadists themselves, and their friend Osama bin Laden. We armed and trained them, and now we’re paying the price.
On Illegal Immigration Ron Paul is...
Physically secure our borders and coastlines. We must do whatever it takes to control entry into our country before we undertake complicated immigration reform proposals.
Enforce visa rules. Immigration officials must track visa holders and deport anyone who overstays their visa or otherwise violates U.S. law. This is especially important when we recall that a number of 9/11 terrorists had expired visas.
No amnesty. Estimates suggest that 10 to 20 million people are in our country illegally. That’s a lot of people to reward for breaking our laws.
No welfare for illegal aliens. Americans have welcomed immigrants who seek opportunity, work hard, and play by the rules. But taxpayers should not pay for illegal immigrants who use hospitals, clinics, schools, roads, and social services.
On LIBERTY & Privacy, Ron Paul is...
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.
We must stop the move toward a national ID card system. All states are preparing to issue new driver’s licenses embedded with “standard identifier” data — a national ID. A national ID with new tracking technologies means we’re heading into an Orwellian world of no privacy. I voted against the Real ID Act in March of 2005.
On protecting the Second Amendment Ron Paul is...
I share our Founders’ belief that in a free society each citizen must have the right to keep and bear arms. They ratified the Second Amendment knowing that this right is the guardian of every other right, and they all would be horrified by the proliferation of unconstitutional legislation that prevents law-abiding Americans from exercising this right.
NOBODY asked me to support Ron Paul through this blog or in any other way. I do this as a duty of an American citizen appealing to other American citizens to declare TRUE CHANGE in the next election.
AMERICA, DO NOT BE FOOLED BY THE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS OTHER CANDIDATES USE TO SILENCE RON PAUL WHILE DROWNING YOU IN THIER STAGE BUZZ. America, cast your eyes from Iowa and NH and carry Ron Paul in the next forty-eight primarys and again on election day.

God bless America, God bless our liberty, and God bless our rights! I know of only one candidate who will protect all three.
