Ron Paul, Big Government, Drugs

(Excerpt)

“Politicians are concerned about the next election because there are few true patriots among them. Too, many of these folks want to serve God, but only as advisors. Few are Public Servants who are concerned about the rights of the individual and working for downsizing to a more limited constitutional government. These are true patriots as defined by our founders. Congressman Ron Paul is America's #1 defender of individual liberty and he is running for president in 2008!”
