Lets see if you agree with Ron Paul on current issues:
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."
War and Foreign Policy
"The only constitutional way to go to war is to declare the war, by the congress, not by the president. The people should be behind it.” Bring ALL troops in ALL countries home NOW!"
Privacy and Personal Liberty
"The biggest threat to your privacy is the government. I sponsored a bill to overturn the Patriot Act."
“The Constitution was written to restrain the government, never to restrain the people.”
American Independence and Sovereignty
"We must withdraw from any organizations and trade deals that infringe upon the freedom and independence of the United States of America. They transfer power from our government to unelected foreign elites." No NWO!
Debt and Taxes
“The people know much better how to spend their money than the government.”
"Lower taxes benefit all of us, creating jobs and allowing us to make more decisions for ourselves about our lives."
Abolish the IRS
Abolish the Federal Reserve
National Defense
"A defense policy for the United States should first seek to make Americans safer."
"Currently, the United States maintains hundreds of thousands of troops in more than 100 foreign countries. In many cases, they are there to defend foreign borders. And our borders remain unsecured."
"Stop the wars and bring our soldiers those trillions of dollars HOME!"
Social Security
The proposed solutions for S.S. problems, ranging from lower benefits to higher taxes to increasing the age of eligibility, are NOT solutions; they are betrayals. Our nation’s promise to its seniors is a sacred trust."
Allow the young people to "Opt out" of Social Securiuty if they wish and invest their money how THEY see fit.
Life and Liberty
"I am strongly pro life. Life begins at conception ... but, I do not believe this should be a federal government matter."
Health Freedom
"The people are concerned about the government’s escalating intervention into their freedom to choose what they eat and how they take care of their health.”
"I support the Access to Medical Treatment Act, H.R. 2717, which expands the ability of Americans to use alternative medicine and new treatments."
The Second Amendment
“I share our Founders’ belief that in a free society each citizen must have the right to keep and bear arms.”

Egypt did it THEIR way....This is how WE can do it!!)
White House to Cut Energy Assistance for the Poor

(Trillions for wall street bankers and illegal wars of aggression... once again, not DICK for the American people.)
Israel Openly Opposes Democracy in Middle East
Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East. And yet, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's second-in-command has strictly rejected the establishment of democracy in Egypt, alleging it could have dire consequences.
