Ron Paul endorsement

(To all registered Republicans, if there are any left)
an endorsement for Ron Paul

I support Rep. Ron Paul, and urge all local Republican primary voters to send a message to the GOP to reform itself. Dr. Paul has done a fantastic job of keeping the "front-runners" honest during this primary season, even with limited debate time and a virtual media blackout against him. Now that the field has narrowed, and McCain and Romney are arguing over who's more liberal, voting for the only true conservative would shake up the arrogance and stubbornness the party has continued to present.

Dr. Paul is a legitimate fiscal conservative, having never voted to raise taxes and never voting for an unbalanced budget (yes, I'm actually looking at his record). The country can not afford more runaway spending and unchecked government growth. To support Paul is a loud and clear call for the GOP to rediscover its roots.

Paul pledges to quickly extract us from Iraq (he voted against it from the start and makes it clear that we can't afford it) and has criticized the Patriot Act as well as America's misguided War on Drugs.

Let's send a strong message that the GOP should again become the party of government restraint that favors environmental stewardship, civil liberties and local power over federal intrusion.

Ron Paul will:
Bring the troops home, now.

Stop the looting of Social Security.

Save $1 trillion overseas, reducing our debt, helping veterans, children, andseniors, and cutting taxes.

Oppose WTO, NAFTA, CAFTA, and the NAU.

Fight for freedom to choose health care.

Stop corporate welfare and polluters.

Protect our privacy and civil liberties.

Stop the national ID card.

Oppose internet taxes and regulation.

I did not write this about Guns
What have we learned from Switzerland?' Guns in themselves are not a cause of gun crime; if they were, everyone in Switzerland would long ago have been shot in a domestic quarrel.
Cultural conditions, not gun laws, are the most important factors in a nation's crime rate. Young adults in Washington, D.C., are subject to strict gun control, but no social control, and they commit a staggering amount of armed crime. Young adults in Zurich are subject to minimal gun control, but strict social control, and they commit almost no crime.
America-with its traditions of individual liberty-cannot import Switzerland's culture of social control. Teenagers, women, and almost everyone else have more freedom in America than in Switzerland.
What America can learn from Switzerland is that the best way to reduce gun misuse is to promote responsible gun ownership. While America cannot adopt the Swiss model, America can foster responsible gun ownership along more individualistic, American lines. Firearms safety classes in elementary schools, optional marksmanship classes in high schools and colleges, and the widespread availability of adult safety training at licensed shooting ranges are some of the ways that America can make its tradition of responsible gun use even stronger.
