		<description>&lt;p&gt;All the things mentioned above are great challenges for our country. America NEEDS a kick-start. I think we need complete changes (even if there may be some sacrifices that go with them). We will adapt. &lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;The election of Dr. Paul will send a strong message across the world, a message of repentance for the mislead actions suffered these last 100 years. America promised the world a brighter tomorrow, yet all we have is an invasion of the developing world.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The people of this planet are suffering, as is the planet itself. A deduction in the number of troops worldwide would allow for a restrengthening of America&#039;s borders; it would also allow the American dollar to show its true value. The free market would fill in where bases once occupied, and business men/women would trade and talk with global neighbours.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The common politician, those &#039;front-runners&#039; that are thrown at you across the tube, have nothing but different paths for taking us to the same watering hole. A world to the wise though, carry the same bucket to the hole everyday and one day the bottom will fall out. Dr. Paul has a vision, towards a balanced budget and a renewed America. You cannot capture the minds of the world in 100 years, yet these tired politicians backed by Council of Foreign Relation money, have taken their land and rights in so few.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Dr. Paul&#039;s steady retreat of forces would reduce military pollution, opening up billions of dollars to the economy. It would also reduce global tensions, which America has tightened with force and bomb since 1945. Many of today&#039;s precipitated problems can and will be solved by taking a different stance on American Foreign Relations. With so few victims overseas, too few would have reason exist to seek revenge against the US flag and its icons [i.e. the World Trade Center complex and the Pentagon].&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Constitutionally, the president is limited in powers, however the next president will be walking into with a beefed up tool-kit. Unprecedented powers have been seized by current President Bush Jr. and only Dr. Paul is brave enough to restore these Constitutional Rights back to the American people. Many of whom have been offered only Terror, the seizure of Rights and Privacy, as well a War that will be fought by your grandchildren. Supposing the population isn&#039;t drafted and loses itself along the way.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Environmentally, only awareness of our impact upon the environment, along with a a free market, can resolve the solution to carbon output. Alternative solutions exist, but we cannot rely upon government subsidies [taxed on you] to provide them. Only the consumer can choose which solution is best, a decision based on price and efficiency. So take responsibility for this, Dr. Paul will restore your right to so.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Strategically, the visions of an improved tomorrow will be decided by those who invest their capital -not current debts, into the efforts of tomorrow. Ingenious and resourceful America, with war off the table and sound economic and humanitarian policies in mind will reinvent itself, setting the example for the world to follow.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Realistically, these ambitions will not be solved in a months or years, but Earnest leadership and integrity will lead American to a stabilized borders and a strengthened economy. Considering Dr. Paul for Presidency is the demand of American to reconsider themselves and their policies, especially those that claim to represent the common man in a morally bankrupt Washington. An elected President of strong virtue is a cry for virtuous politicians across the political spectrum. So, if Congress and the Senate representatives wish to win their next election, the precedent is set for a revised initiative.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I&#039;ve been concerned about Paul&#039;s stance on global warming as well. I felt better about it when he said in an interview: &quot;If it is true, then the best thing we can do is what I want to do anyway: stop subsidizing the oil companies, stop using the military to protect our supplies, stop keeping the price of oil artificially low so that alternative fuels can compete.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In addition, he is the only candidate who wants to stop agricultural subsidies. Doing that would open the way for the only currently-practical plan to remove large amounts of CO2 from the atmosphere, as explained here:
http://www.lewrockwell.com/orig6/masterjohn3.html&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;He&#039;s also the only candidate who wants to change our monetary system away from a debt-based one that requires exponential economic growth to avoid disaster (google the Money As Debt documentary for an eye-opening account about how our money system really works, and why we will never turn away from our disastrous environmental course until we change our money).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A recent news report said that the countries that signed Kyoto haven&#039;t come close to meeting their targets. More regulations won&#039;t fix things if people can&#039;t even follow the ones we&#039;ve got. We need fundamental changes to the system, and Ron Paul is the only one proposing those changes. Maybe Kucinich.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In any case, if we stop being a free country, our little debates about these sorts of things won&#039;t even matter. That&#039;s the biggest reason to vote for Paul or Kucinich, and unfortunately, the Democrats seem to have dropped the ball on Kucinich.&lt;/p&gt;

More regulations won&#8217;t fix things if people can&#8217;t even follow the ones we&#8217;ve got. We need fundamental changes to the system, and Ron Paul is the only one proposing those changes. Maybe Kucinich.</p>

<p>In any case, if we stop being a free country, our little debates about these sorts of things won&#8217;t even matter. That&#8217;s the biggest reason to vote for Paul or Kucinich, and unfortunately, the Democrats seem to have dropped the ball on Kucinich.</p>

Casey Research: Much of the politicking this campaign season has certain religious overtones. Are you a believer in a strict separation of church and state?

Ron Paul: Yes. However, I believe state and local communities have the right to adopt policies such as school prayer without interference from the Federal Judiciary or any other branch of the federal government.
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;From a recent Ron Paul interview:&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;President is not a King. Paul is all for constitutional balance of power. He can not change laws all on his own- all he can do is sign them or veto them if there is no super majority in congress. All of you hysterical people need to look through your notes from the Civics class.
Need I remind you that Bush is pro life? As of 7 years into his presidency abortions are legal. Don&#039;t expect drastic changes in the way of live just because he&#039;s elected.
Paul would turn this country&#039;s policies back where they need to be and surround himself with a Cabinet that is as honest and principled as he. No more Brownies, Chertoffs and Gonzalez&#039;s.
Paul would insist on honest money. He would press for repeal of the Fed, but that doesn&#039;t mean Congress would go along. 
Federal loans for education would not necessarily be ended, and if they were, states would quickly step up to fill the need.
As to global warming, the answer is not a UN or other unelected global authority taxing us and doing who knows what with the money. Paul is for sovereignty and dealing with our problems by ourselves. 
There is no perfect system or leader, but we need someone like Paul to stop the insane march toward totalitarianism and globalism. 
No other candidates in the race offer anything of substance in this area.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Most of these are selling points for me. I could do without the Christianity view ( and I am a christian: notice the small &quot;c&quot;). But that&#039;s not enough of a conflict to mention because he doesn&#039;t support the power of the Federal government to enforce any of this.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;But don&#039;t mind me. I also think the people have the final say over their own life, and that a government should not exist if it is a government of force against it&#039;s own people.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;When he becomes president I know 3 things will happen.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;1) He will bring the troops home.  Saving billions if not trillions.
2) Veto any tax or unconstitutional bill presented before him
3) Restore my liberties.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Now what happens after that is up to the other 2/3 of the power.  If they work with him then we can get amazing things done.  If they don&#039;t then 2 years after he takes office we get to elect new officials to represent us.&lt;/p&gt;
