This is a nice article on supporting Ron Paul. It's by Charlie Siggins (A Real Small-Business Owner).
With the New Hampshire primary just weeks away, the GOP candidates are pulling out all the stops. And yet, for all of their efforts to undercut each other and President Obama, the solutions of all but one candidate are woefully inadequate. Thats why Im voting for Representative Ron Paul for president.
As every American knows, this country has serious problems. Were $15 trillion in debt and show few signs of being able to balance our budget. The official unemployment rate is slightly under 9%, but its clear that the real unemployment rate is somewhere in the double digits. Over one million abortions take place each year. Our education system is allowing our young people to fall behind their international peers in the classroom. Overseas, we are throwing our military at every problem, regardless of the human and financial costs.
And yet most of the Republican candidates are offering platitudes as solutions to these problems.
President Obama is even worse. Overwhelmed by the challenges hes facing and unable to overcome them with inspirational rhetoric, hes desperately seeking re-election. This man wants to force everyone to buy health insurance. He wants to help overthrow nations and install governments that may soon be threatening us. He truly believes that government can and must be the solution to most of humanitys problems, despite the mounting evidence of governments failures.
Its possible to solve our many problems. But the solutions wont be bureaucratic. Removing a few tax loopholes or eliminating a couple of EPA regulations wont do the trick. We need the kind of change that President Obama so confidently promised but failed to deliver.
The only candidate proposing a serious overhaul of our federal system is Ron Paul. You might have heard of him, though probably not from the major media outlets. Hes the longtime congressman who has never voted for an unbalanced budget. Hes been warning of the dangers of being the worlds policeman since the 1980s and wants America to pursue a less interventionist foreign policy. He doesnt just want to cut the deficit; he wants to cut the debt itself. He wants drugs to be legal. He wants to get rid of the Federal Reserve. Hes pro-life but wants to leave abortion policy to the states.
