Ron Paul's point of view

Ron Paul believes that the federal government has been neglecting its constitutional responsibility to protect its own borders and concentrating instead on unconstitutionally policing foreign countries. Ron Paul has voiced support for re-opening the 9/11 investigation to discover why the FBI did not act on 70 field tips from an agent reporting student pilots (and eventual 9/11 hijackers) who were learning to take off but not land and why the various intelligence agencies could not collaborate on information to possibly prevent the attacks.

Government

Paul tirelessly works for limited constitutional government, low taxes, free markets, and a return to sound monetary policies.

Candidate

As a former Libertarian Party candidate for President, Congressman Paul has been a proponent of ballot access law reform, and has spoken out on numerous election law reform issues.

Iraq

He has spoken out against torture[18] and the abuse of executive authority in the Iraq War to override human rights guaranteed by the Constitution. He claimed that the current circumstances with Iran are similar to those under which the Iraq War began, and urged Congress not to authorize a war with Iran.

Campaign

Paul is they are used to modern campaigns spending millions on pollsters, consultants, and "grassroots organizers" to create the illusion that have an army of passionate supporters. In 2002, he spoke before the Congress in opposition to campaign finance reforms that place any restrictions on citizens and businesses making campaign contributions to the candidate of their choice. If we don’t learn how to use that to its maximum benefit, we won’t have a very viable campaign.

Ron Paul, R-Texas, touches upon the primary themes of his presidential campaign -- Iraq, immigration and abortion. Ron Paul has also formed a presidential exploratory committee (something Gingrich has not even done yet), his name was conspicuously absent from Falwell's list.
