The Courier Post published my commentary about Ron Paul: Saturday, January 5, 2008 Re: "Republican Ron Paul offers a different choice and new ideas" (Perspectives, Dec. 28). U.S. Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, is the only candidate running who actually represents the America of our founding fathers. He promotes more individual choice, the right for you to control your life, not the government controlling you and taxing you into penury. Let's stop the "yes, but" Republicans and the "tax-and-spend" Democrats from overriding the Constitution in the name of "patriotism" or some favored social program. Paul represents a new freedom for all Americans from an overbearing federal government. That is why I am voting for Ron Paul in the Republican Primary. Thank you. RONALD J.

Why I Support Ron Paul for President Taxes First, Ron Paul is the only limited government, lower taxes candidate. He has never voted to increase taxes and desires to cut government spending and taxes needed to support the spending. You cannot increase government (whether it is "infrastructure" as used by the Big Spenders, or transfer payments and subsidies,) and expect to lower taxes. Free Trade Ron Paul supports real free trade not more governmental organizations such as NAFTA, GATT, CAFTA, etc. Free trade is simple... we won't tax imports and other countries do not tax our exports. War and Foriegn Policy The war in Iraq was sold to us with false information. The area is more dangerous now than when we entered it. We destroyed a regime hated by our direct enemies, the jihadists, and created thousands of new recruits for them. We have no business making "regime changes" and trying to knock down or prop up other governments. We are not and can never be the police...
