Highlights of Ron Paul’s platform for America
Eliminate the Fed! The Federal Reserve is in actuality, a cartel of International private
banks, which have been stealing the wealth and homes of US Citizens for almost 100
years. Loaning printed paper fiat money “out of thin air” and being paid back with
compounded interest, and manipulating inflation and deflation to steal people’s wealth.
Dr. Paul will end the Fed completely, and restore the US Treasury’s role in coining
money backed by gold and/or silver.
Stop the personal income tax altogether, and put an end to the IRS completely. Restoring
personal freedom, eliminating the fear from the IRS, and allowing people to keep and use
the money they earn for their own interests and pursuits, as guaranteed by the Bill of
Rights and US Constitution!
Bring our Armed forces back home, and stop engaging in wars not authorized by the US
Congress.
Withdraw completely from the United Nations.
Withdraw from N.A.T.O., which is extremely costly and no longer necessary.
Stop maintaining US bases where it is no longer necessary, i.e. Korea, Japan, Germany,
Delivers a True Balanced Budget amendment by Year 3 of his presidency
Cuts $1 Trillion dollars in spending during his 1st year of presidency
Repeals Obamacare, Dodd-Frank, and Sarbanes-Oxley.
Protect individual’s privacy, banning nationalized databases in healthcare
As on OB/GYN Dr. Paul delivered more than 4000 babies. His is Pro-Life.
Economy:
The severe economic crisis America has experienced over the past several years, including
growing inflation, rising gas prices, trillion-dollar budget deficits, immoral bailouts, and the
ever-declining value of the dollar, is just the tip of the iceberg if our nation does not immediately
change course. As the crash approached, Ron Paul was heavily criticized by the establishment
media and even many of his fellow Republicans because he would not back down from his
warnings about where big government policies were leading America. When those warnings
came true, however, our President and leaders in Congress didn’t let the crisis “go to waste” and
used it as an excuse to expand government intervention and power on an unprecedented level.
Excessive spending, artificial credit, and market manipulation crashed our economy, and no one
should be surprised that these same policies continue to prolong the suffering for millions of
Americans. As president, Ron Paul:
Will not raise the debt ceiling. He voted against it every time.
Legalizing sound money (back to the gold and/or silver standard)
Orders a full audit of the Federal Reserve, and then
Eliminate the Federal Reserve (International cartel of private banks), which is dishonest,
immoral and unconstitutional. It has devalued the US Dollar by 95% by recklessly
printing Federal Reserve Notes. It accounts for the greatest evil against the US Citizen,
and the rest of the world, too, because their economies are dictated by the value of the US
dollar since the US dollar is the world reserve currency.
Driving down gas prices by drilling for oil owned by the United States. Recent expertise
has told the US Congress that there is more oil in the USA than all the rest of the world
combined.
Ending the corporate stranglehold on the White House – end of lobbying.
National Defense:
As a former US Air Force Veteran, Dr. Paul believes that National Defense is the single most
important responsibility the US Constitution entrusts to the Federal Government. Congress has
been rendered virtually irrelevant in foreign policy decisions and regularly cedes authority to an
executive branch that refuses to be held accountable for its actions. Believes that the USA is not
to be the world police, and that other nations have benefited from US Military abroad at the
expense of the US Citizen’s money. And presently, the Federal Government refuses to deal with
our own border security needs. That’s why, as Commander-in-Chief, Ron Paul will:
Make securing our borders the top national security priority.
Avoid long and expensive land wars that bankrupt our country by using constitutional
means to capture or kill terrorist leaders who helped attack the U.S. and continue to plot
further attacks.
Guarantee our intelligence community’s efforts are directed toward legitimate threats and
not spying on innocent Americans through unconstitutional power grabs like the Patriot
Act.
End the nation-building that is draining troop morale, increasing our debt, and sacrificing
lives with no end in sight.
Follow the Constitution by asking Congress to declare war before one is waged.
Only send our military into conflict with a clear mission and all the tools they need to
complete the job – and then bring them home.
Ensure our veterans receive the care, benefits, and honors they have earned when they
return.
Revitalize the military for the 21st century by eliminating waste in a trillion-dollar
military budget.
Prevent the TSA from forcing Americans to either be groped or ogled just to travel on an
airplane and ultimately abolish the unconstitutional agency.
Stop taking money from the middle class and the poor to give to rich dictators through
foreign aid.
Taxes:
The power to tax is the power to destroy, which is why Ron Paul will never support higher taxes.
Our national debt is currently over $14 trillion, with the government spending nearly $2 trillion
more per year than it collects. The American people should not have to pay for Washington’s
reckless and out-of-control appetite for debt. High taxes stifle innovation, prevent saving,
destroy production, crush the middle class and the poor, and discourage investment. Every
American is entitled to the fruits of his labor, especially during these tough economic times.
Lowering taxes will leave you more money to take care of yourself and your family, and it will
allow businesses greater opportunities to hire new workers, increase current salaries, and expand
their companies. As President, Ron Paul will support a Liberty Amendment to the Constitution
to:
Abolish the income and death taxes. And he will be proud to be the one who finally turns
off the lights at the IRS for good.
Repeal the Capital Gains Tax, which punishes people for trying to protect themselves.
Eliminate Taxes on Tips of Restaurant workers
It’s immoral to tax senior citizens twice by forcing them to declare taxes on their Social
Security. A first step to eliminating that requirement would be to repeal the 1993
increase in taxes on Social Security benefits. Then we must abolish that tax entirely.
If the Federal Government is forced to live within its means, the country will return to prosperity
in every facet of its life – business growth, education excellence, prosperity of the land, respect
among the nations.
2nd Amendment:
The inalienable right to keep and bear arms is not only essential to a free society, but it is the
guardian of every other right. During his time in Congress, Ron Paul has worked tirelessly to
restore the Second Amendment rights of all Americans by:
Introducing legislation to repeal the “Brady Bill” and the so-called “Assault Weapons
Ban.”
Authoring legislation to end U.S. membership in the anti-gun United Nations to ensure
American tax dollars are not used to fund global gun control schemes like the so-called
“Small Arms Treaty.”
Writing a bill that would allow pilots and specially trained law enforcement personnel to
carry firearms in order to protect airline passengers and help prevent future 9/11-style
attacks.
With our gun rights under constant attack from our own government and the anti-gun United
Nations, as well as the threat of rising crime due to our country’s economic woes, Congressman
Paul believes it has never been more important that our President be 100% committed to
defending our God-given right to keep and bear arms.
Right to Work:
Freedom of association is one of the foundations of a free society. The Founders clearly
understood this, which is why they sought to protect this God-given right in the First
Amendment. Forced unionism violates the Constitution. Through Unions’ forced dues empire –
National union bosses rake in $8 billion every year from workers who are forced to pay dues to a
labor union just to provide for themselves and their families. Then, to add insult to injury, Big
Labor uses this forced-dues money to bankroll the campaigns of tax-and-spend, big government
politicians all across the country like Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and Barack Obama!
