Hope this helps you understand what Ron Paul stands for. What I find fascinating about Ron Paul is there is not one candidate who has written as much as he has about defending the Constitution. Not one. Either party.

If you are voting for Ron Paul, please copy this and send to all you can.

A nice thought, but unlikely to happen in the near future.

Cannot say I agree with concept completely. I'm against government involvement in all the forms thus far.

Changing the constitution isn't that easy, I doubt you would get the numbers required to remove birthright citizenship

No-one is ever for truly free trade

Awesome

While the UN is flawed, isolationism is more so

Sounds archaic

I'd rather the world be safe for rational people

but a country still needs to regulate what leaves and enters its borders

Why? As long as it is a safe product, why regulate it?

[kinggovernor]

safety is one of the reasons to regulate but we also need agreements to protect our country's interests. What happens if they start dumping their product in our markets, and because of their economic planning we cannot compete with that. That is a problem. Environmental issues don't stop at borders either. We need to have an arena for countries to discuss trading between them

He's completely for free trade.


He's against these "free trade" agreements that hurt our economy and sovereignty, such as NAFTA.


The UN is a cesspool of corruption and we should be out of it.


He's not for "the gold standard" necessarily, he is for competition in the market for money. He is for dollars, gold, silver, etc competing to see which is the best currency.

Only in so far as things that are illegal or illegal

Ron Paul in the US House of Representatives, July 25, 2003

Mr. Speaker, I rise to introduce the Honest Money Act. The Honest Money Act repeals legal tender laws, a.k.a. forced tender laws, that compel American citizens to accept fiat (arbitrary) irredeemable paper-ticket or electronic money as their unit of account.

Absent legal tender laws, individuals acting through the markets, rather than government dictates, determine what is to be used as money. Historically, the free-market choice for money has been some combination of gold and silver, whenever they were available. As Dr. Edwin Vieira, the nation’s top expert on constitutional money, states: “A free market functions most efficiently and most fairly when the market determines the quality and the quantity of money that’s being used.”

While fiat money is widely accepted thanks to legal tender laws, it does not maintain its purchasing power. This works to the disadvantage of ordinary people who lose the purchasing power of their savings, pensions, annuities, and other promises of future payment. Most importantly, because of the subsidies our present monetary system provides to banks, which, as Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan has stated, “induces” the financial sector to increase leverage, the Federal Reserve can create additional money, in Mr. Greenspan’s words, “without limit.” For this reason, absent legal tender laws, many citizens would refuse to accept fiat irredeemable paper-ticket or electronic money.

He has a clear record and a clean conscious on this issue. And I agree 100%
I don't get why the young protestors ranting about the big evil corporations don't know more about how our financial systems work to our disadvantage and have real measurable harm on most people who try to save or invest. You are not forced to buy a can of Coca Cola but you can't do anything without working with a manipulated money supply and they aren't doing you any favors! The value of Gold and Silver is that they keep up with inflation in value.
