Congressman Paul’s consistent voting record prompted one of his congressional colleagues to say, “Ron Paul personifies the Founding Fathers' ideal of the citizen-statesman. He makes it clear that his principles will never be compromised, and they never are." Another colleague observed, "There are few people in public life who, through thick and thin, rain or shine, stick to their principles. Ron Paul is one of those few."
Brief Overview of Congressman Paul’s Record
He has never voted to raise taxes.
He has never voted for an unbalanced budget.
He has never voted for a federal restriction on gun ownership.
He has never voted to raise congressional pay.
He has never taken a government-paid junket.
He has never voted to increase the power of the executive branch.
He voted against the Patriot Act.
He voted against regulating the Internet.
He voted against the Iraq war.
He does not participate in the lucrative congressional pension program.
He returns a portion of his annual congressional office budget to the U.S. treasury every year.
Congressman Paul introduces numerous pieces of substantive legislation each year, probably more than any single member of Congress.

A small price to pay for a return to LIBERTY. Please join today. THANKS...
... I want to be sure that if my money goes to you, it will get to Ron Paul.
I'd like to pledge, but I need some evidence that he's receiving the money.
After the pledge is complete we will independently donate the money to Dr. Paul's campaign. Nathan will not act as the intermediary.
Its isn't growing fast enough to succeed so I need EVERYONE to email as may people as you can post ANYTHING on ANY forum to get the word out. http://www.pledgebank.com/RonPaul2008

JUST GET THE WORD OUT!!
That said, it would be WONDERFUL for this pledge to succeed.
Even at $25/week, I know that it's a sacrifice for a lot of us, but it's worth it to see Ron Paul and freedom win!

But I will spread the word about yours as well!
for everyone yet to donate it feels great!
even if you cannot match our amount to something!

Please everyone make sure you donate $201 so that your name shows up and it helps when they report on donors in the newspaper... especially if you are in the great state of NH, home of the Free State Project!
Thanks to everybody that is doing their part. Whether it is money - hitting the streets with a postive mesage on limited government, or debating online. Everybody can help!

This grassroots effort will go down in history as the 2nd American Ron-Revolution!! I have no doubt..
Im just glad Im a small part of it!
Here is his web page with contact information: http://www.ronpaul2008.com/contact/
Glad to do it, however! If we could, we'd donate the max allowable.
Keep in mind that if people don't dig deep & support this man, in a couple of years you may not be able to buy a loaf of bread for fifty bucks!
It's not just money that helps. Fear not the name callers & those who buy-in to big media hype. Share your views of why Ron Paul is your choice.
Spread the word! Educate the masses - one at a time.
