True Fidelity to the Constitution
Ron Paul asks – will a renewed interest in the constitution lead to a renewed adherence to it for every issue?
A Date that Lives in Infamy
December 23, 1913 – Woodrow Wilson signs the Federal Reserve Act. We can bring it to an end through our states. Learn how.
Putting the Constitution Back into the Oval Office
Ron Paul: “A crucial policy that a president could enact to bring speedy improvements to government is ordering the bureaucracy to respect the 10th Amendment and refrain from undermining state laws.”
Obama’s Fake “Spending Freeze”
If government would stick only to what it was authorized to do, and leave the rest to the people, most of our economic problems would resolve themselves.
Legalize the Constitution!
Writes Ron Paul: “Simply legalizing the Constitution should be a no-brainer to anyone who took an oath of office. Consequently, private mints should be allowed to mint gold and silver coins.”
Why the Federal Reserve likes Secrecy
This claim that the Fed should have “independence†is a canard. They very much enjoy their comfortable pattern of bailing out friends and devaluing the currency with no oversight and no accountability.
Healthcare Freedom or Healthcare Bureaucracy?
There will be a day of reckoning when the credit stops and the bills for all this spending come due. When that day comes and politicians and bureaucrats have to deal with reality, it will be very uncomfortable to find yourself in their liability column, which is where healthcare reform will put many more Americans.
A Suggestion Manual or the Supreme Law of the Land?
Writes Ron Paul: “I continue to hope that enough Americans will realize that the true strength of our country doesn’t come from Washington, but rather the limitations placed on government in the Constitution. We must resolve to reverse the destructive course that we are on and then never again let big government problem-solving take over our lives and our country.”
Federal Reserve: Secrecy vs Independence
The only accountability the Federal Reserve has is ultimately to Congress, which granted its charter and can revoke it at any time. It is Congress’s constitutional duty to protect the value of the money, and they have abdicated this responsibility for far too long.
Audit the Fed, Then End It!
The only legitimate, Constitutional role of government in monetary policy is to protect the integrity of the monetary unit and defend against counterfeiters.
Instead, Congress has abdicated this responsibility to a cabal of elite, quasi-governmental banks who, instead of stabilizing the economy, have destabilized it
Ron Paul: States Have Right to Legalize Marijuana
In a recent interview on Air America Radio, Ron Paul took a strong stand in support of the Constitution and State Sovereignty – by stating that laws and regulations of Marijuana should be on a state level.
“If California wants to legalize it, let ‘em legalize it,” Paul told host Richard Greene on Air America’s “Hollywood CLOUT!” program.
Freedom From Government
by Rep Ron Paul President Obama signed an executive order last week continuing the faith-based initiatives program created by former President Bush. When the program was created, I warned that giving taxpayer money to private religious organizations would eventually lead to political control and manipulation of them. This week has provided some evidence that this [...]
Stimulus for Who?
by Rep Ron Paul This week the House is expected to pass an $825 billion economic stimulus package. In reality, this bill is just an escalation of a government-created economic mess.  As before, a sense of urgency and impending doom is being used to extract mountains of money from Congress with minimal debate. So much [...]
Strengthening or Weakening the Economy?
by Rep Ron Paul The economic situation continues to deteriorate this week as past and future bailouts were discussed on Capitol Hill. The debate was over the accountability of already disbursed TARP money, and on whether or not to release remaining funds.  Banks that had already been bailed out before are looking for more money [...]
Opportunities for Peace and Nonintervention
by Rep Ron Paul Last week I discussed our worsening economic situation and the fact that there are very few options for the new administration to improve things in the long run. The same is not true on the foreign policy front. Our interventionist foreign policy stands ready to be put on a new course [...]
The Bailout Surge
by Rep Ron Paul This week the bailout of the Big Three automakers was under heavy consideration in Congress’s lame duck session. I have always opposed government bailouts of private organizations. Back in 1979 Congress had hearings about bailing out Chrysler and I was on record pointing out that these types of policies are foolish [...]
Spending the Economy into Oblivion
by Rep Ron Paul With news this week that Congress is poised to consider a new stimulus package, I am forced to again ask a question that seems silly in Washington:Â How will we pay for this? While a few Members of Congress have raised the issue, it certainly was not the primary concern of [...]
Capitalism Without Capital?
by Rep Ron Paul It has been long understood that our federal government is going deeper into debt, consistently raising the debt ceiling and demonstrating no fiscal restraint. In recent years, debt ceiling increases have been placed in “must pass†legislation as a means to guarantee that Republicans as well as Democrats would vote for [...]
The Do-Something Congress
by Rep Ron Paul It has not been a good week for the Republic. It took quite a bit of trampling of the Constitution, but the bailout bill passed, as I suspected it would. The bailout failed the first time it was brought to the House. Undaunted, the Senate pressed on by attaching the bailout [...]
Economics and the Meltdown
by Rep Ron Paul The financial meltdown the economists of the Austrian School predicted has arrived. We are in this crisis because of an excess of artificially created credit at the hands of the Federal Reserve System. The solution being proposed? More artificial credit by the Federal Reserve. No liquidation of bad debt and malinvestment [...]
