Ron Paul Hope For America

What is it about Ron Paul that you didn't like? Because he speak the truth, he tells you what it is? Because he want to restore our republic, freedom and liberty? Please read below where he stands with the following issues.

Irag:
The United States invaded Iraq under false pretenses without a constitutionally-required declaration of war. Our Founders understood that how we go to war is as important as when we go to war, which is why they vested the power to declare war in the Legislative Branch. The resolution passed in Congress authorizing the president to use force in Iraq said nothing about the U.S. Constitution, but it mentioned the United Nations a dozen times. The United States should never go to war to enforce UN resolutions! More here...

National Defense:
A defense policy designed to keep Americans safe should start with the idea that we must secure our borders from those who would cross them to do us harm. 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. Maintaining such a global empire drains nearly one trillion dollars from the U.S. economy each year, while offering very little real security for the American people. What’s worse, our U.S. Border Guards are sent overseas to places like Iraq while our own borders remain porous and vulnerable. More here...

Energy:
As president, I will work to restore a free-market in energy. In particular, I will work with Congress to repeal federal regulations and taxes that impede the development of new energy sources. Such policies give government bureaucrats the power to pick winners and losers, and cause resources to be devoted to those producers with the most political clout rather than to the producers who are best able to meet the needs of consumers. Alternative sources should prove their viability in the free market. Any source that truly is cheaper and cleaner, yet still reliable, will not need government help to develop or sell. More here...

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.

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.

To date, the privacy focus has been on identity theft. It was Congress that created this danger by mandating use of the standard identifier (currently your SSN) in the private sector. For example, banks use SSNs as customer account identifiers because the government requires it. More here...

Property Right and Eminent Domain:
We must stop special interests from violating property rights and literally driving families from their homes, farms and ranches.

Today, we face a new threat of widespread eminent domain actions as a result of powerful interests who want to build a NAFTA superhighway through the United States from Mexico to Canada.

We also face another danger in regulatory takings: Through excess regulation, governments deprive property owners of significant value and use of their properties — all without paying “just compensation.”

Property rights are the foundation of all rights in a free society. Without the right to own a printing press, for example, freedom of the press becomes meaningless. The next president must get federal agencies out of these schemes to deny property owners their constitutional rights to life, liberty, and property.

Second Amendment:
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.

Debt and Taxes:
The people know much better how to spend their money than the government. More here...

Border Security and Immigration Reform:
I don’t think the problem of illegal immigration will ever be solved until we have a healthy, thriving economy. More here...

American Independence and Sovereignty:
I believe in being friends and I like as much free travel as possible and I like free trade, but I don’t like more government management because it essentially protects big industry... More here...

War and Foreign Policy:
he only proper way to go to war, the only legal way to go to war, 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. More here...

Life and Liberty:
I am strongly pro life. Life begins at conception ... but, I do not believe this should be a federal matter. All issues of life and violence and crime and murder are dealt with at the local level. More here...

Social Security:
If all the other members of congress had followed my voting record, the trust fund would be in good shape because I have never voted to spend one penny out of the social security trust fund. More here...

Health Care:
[The Government] is more involved in medicine than many other areas and you see a skyrocketing of prices. More here...

Health Freedom:
Americans are justifiably concerned over the government’s escalating intervention into their freedom to choose what they eat and how they take care of their health. More here...

Education:
The federal government does not own our children. Yet we act as if it does by letting it decide when, how, and what our children will learn. Learn more...

Home Schooling:
My commitment to ensuring home schooling remains a practical alternative for American families is unmatched by any Presidential candidate. Learn more...

Environment:
I believe that a lack of respect for property rights has led to many [environmental] problems. Learn more...

No Taxes on Tips:
It is an outrage that waiters, waitresses, and other service-sector employees have to pay taxes on the tips they earn. Learn more...

The Inflation Tax:
Day by day, every dollar you have is being devalued. You pay an inflation tax without even realizing it ... Learn more...

Racism:
The true antidote to racism is liberty. Liberty means having a limited, constitutional government devoted to the protection of individual rights rather than group claims. Learn more...

Veterans:
A top priority for me is to take care of our veterans and I would do that by saving money elsewhere. Learn more...
