Ron Paul? What's your Opinion?

This is a banner year for women and for people of color for the upcoming US election cycle.

Whatever you might think about the current candidates, I encourage you to do your own research and consider the positions and voting record of each of your favorite "horses in the race".

Ron Paul, the Republican contender who came out of nowhere to dominate the recent debates, is sticking to the basics: taking us out of the war in Iraq, balancing the budget, and espousing conservative values.

His website focuses on his positions on:

Debt and Taxes 

American Independence and Sovereignty

War and Foreign Policy ("The war in Iraq was sold to us with false information.")

Border Security and Immigration Form

Privacy and Personal Liberty ("The biggest threat to your privacy is the government.")

and Property Rights and Eminent Domain

He's articulate in his videos:

The 2004 election was when I truly "turned on" to the political race, and I even flew out to Des Moines with my young son and husband to go door-to-door asking for votes for my candidate.

Here's what I desire in a candidate:

1) Someone who understands that working people have priorities like the well-being of their family, their health, and their future

2) Someone who spends billions of dollars on health and wellness, education, and green options that nourish and support our environment

3) Someone who treats people of color, minoirities, and people in poverty with respect.

4) Someone who includes people of color on their team in leadership positions.

5) Someone who will do whatever he or she asks of others.

Finally, I truly desire a candidate who upholds the values our country is built on, with particular care for the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

I think Congressman Paul is doing a fine job articulating what he plans to do with his Presidency. Ladies, let's organize and get in front of all the candidates with our vision for the future.

Do you think you are inspired to go and campaign for Dr. Paul in Iowa this year? That kind of enthusiasm whereby people travel out of town or out of state to help Dr. Paul become President is a beautiful thing. PLease tell us if you do any travel campaigning for Congressman Paul.

As editor of Cannabis Culture Magazine, I have been tracking Dr. Ron Paul's votes in the Congress for many years. In our 2006 survey of all 435 members of the House of representatives, we analyzed 10 votes on
1) gov't sponsored marijuana advertising
2) State's Rights to Medical Marijuana Act
3) the Budget of ONDCP (Drug Czar)
4) Byrne Justice assistance Grants
5) Plan Colombia
6) Iraq War reauthorization
7) Patriot Act
Homeland Security
9) Indecency Act
10) School of the Americas torture school at Fort Benning, Georgia.

Congressman Ron Paul scored the only perfect score in the House, voting correctly each time, to:
1) oppose tax-paid ads against marijuana
2) support state's right to medical cannabis
3) opposed the budget of the drug Czar
4) opposed the RACIST Byrne Grants (used to target blacks and hispanics)
5) opposed Plan Colombia
6) opposed Iraq War
7) opposed Patriot Act
opposed authorization of Homeland Security
9) opposed a ten-fold increase in fines on radio broadcasts
10) supported closing the torture school CURRENTLY OPERATING (for over 40 years!) at Fort Benning, Georgia, known as The School of the Americas.

Dr. Paul is the best person to represent the millions, hopefully tens of millions of Americans, who believe in a fundamentalist approach to the constitution and their libery. In the years I have analyzed his record, Dr. Paul is always #1 out of 435 US reps. Impressive.

Our magazine has 50,000 paid readers and we have 30,000 friends on myspace and I am urging all stoners to come to the aid of the Republican Party and to the Presidential campaign of Dr. Paul. Dr. Paul has voted against every aspect of the drug war, which will benefit more African Americans than any other measure by any other politician. Dr. Paul's votes in Congress are ones that would remove more oppression from minorities than any other REPs voting record would show. Dr. Paul is a friend and ally to all African-Americans who know someone in jail, on parole, on bail, with a criminal record, or on probation for drugs.

25 million American marijuana smokers - black, white, and all colors, need to wake up and smell the oppression and do something about it, and thats supporting

RON PAUL FOR PRESIDENT.

Congressman Ron Paul will be the NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. He is a man you can RESPECT. No matter if you agree with everything he stands for, you know you are getting the TRUTH. When was the last time you could say that about any of our leaders?
Thank you for such a good article.

Thanks for the post about Dr. Paul. He's a man that folks of all colors, shapes and sizes can support. I'm glad to see that you are urging your readers to dig deep and do their own research on the candidates. Not enough folks do that these days. Hopefully the environmentally aware will take notice of his actions to try and free industrial hemp. Have a great day, WillyPete


I'm voting for Ron Paul and am looking forward to tonight's debate.

Anonymous - I just posted pretty much the same thing but at a different site.
I agree that Ron Paul will be the next President of the United States.

I'm planning on making a really big & permanent yard sign.

But for now I'm going to see if I can find an old flat white sheet & a can of spray paint. I'm going to make a "make shift" sign & hang is over my porch until the good one is ready :-)

Who IS Ron Paul? They still need to know!!
NOBODY explains Ron Paul
BETTER than Ron Paul himself!

Here is an interactive audio archive of
Ron Paul speeches and interviews as a resource in chronological
order.

If any of you have seen James Stewart in the film “Mr Smith Goes to Washington”, then Ron Paul would be that character. A lot older and wiser though, but still sincere; passionate and truthful.
That is why his words resonate with the on-line masses and exactly why the MSM is trying so hard to suppress his message to stop it spreading, (just like in the movie). The problem for the MSM is that the suppression is only working to wake people up to this injustice and his message, mainly because Mr Ron Paul is Sincere; Passionate and TRUTHFUL, (unlike his peers running for office).

Ron Paul: The best candidate in my lifetime.


You HAVE to be kidding???

Hi NH: My point is that I don't support a $100 billion blank check for the war in Iraq, especially if they can't account for the way all of it was spent in the last few years.

We need tighter controls and more priorities on our domestic policy when it comes to allocating our taxpayer-funded budget.

I see a post under my handle NH, but those are not my words...how did that happen?

You don't support a $100 billion blank check for the war in Iraq, especially if they can't account for the way all of it was spent in the last few years -- well neither does Ron Paul...

I agree we need tighter controls and more priorities on our domestic policy when it comes to allocating our taxpayer-funded budget, but NOT to spendn billions on education and greenie nonsense.

I believe in separation of school and state for political reasons.

This is really great that people of all political persuasions, color, age, whatever are all coming out and backing Ron Paul. If we have true freedom, it doesn't matter what we all believe or who we are. Freedom is the belief that we can figure out how to get along on our own.

Tracy

We need to support the good doctor.

Ron Paul R[evoL]ution!
Ron Paul 2008!

if you are Asian American, please support Ron Paul!
affirmative action is the worse thing ever, it introduces reverse discrimination against Asian American and White American, Google reverse discrimination by yourself
Ron Paul is the only one who brave enough to stand out against the real Racist -- Government
here is his words:
"In fact it is the federal government more than anything else that divides us along race, class, religion, and gender lines. Government, through its taxes, restrictive regulations, corporate subsidies, racial set-asides, and welfare programs, plays far too large a role in determining who succeeds and who fails in our society. This government "benevolence" crowds out genuine goodwill between men by institutionalizing group thinking, thus making each group suspicious that others are receiving more of the government loot. This leads to resentment and hostility between us."

I believe he is the one who will Remove Reverse discrimination against Asian American and White, please help Ron Paul and help Asian American

As a Asian American, you have to score 200 more in SAT in order to get into same Univ as Black,

Support Ron Paul to remove Reverse discrimination
