Congressman Ron Paul is the leading advocate for freedom in our nation's capital. As a member of the U.S. House of Representatives, Dr. Paul tirelessly works for limited constitutional government, low taxes, free markets, and a return to sound monetary policies. He is known among his congressional colleagues and his constituents for his consistent voting record. Dr. Paul never votes for legislation unless the proposed measure is expressly authorized by the Constitution.In the words of former Treasury Secretary William Simon, Dr. Paul is the "one exception to the Gang of 535" on Capitol Hill.

Ron Paul was born and raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He graduated from Gettysburg College and the Duke University School of Medicine, before proudly serving as a flight surgeon in the U.S. Air Force during the 1960s. He and his wife Carol moved to Texas in 1968, where he began his medical practice in Brazoria County. As a specialist in obstetrics/gynecology, Dr. Paul has delivered more than 4,000 babies. He and Carol, who reside in Lake Jackson, Texas, are the proud parents of five children and have 17 grandchildren.

While serving in Congress during the late 1970s and early 1980s, Dr. Paul's limited-government ideals were not popular in Washington. In 1976, he was one of only four Republican congressmen to endorse Ronald Reagan for president.

During that time, Congressman Paul served on the House Banking committee, where he was a strong advocate for sound monetary policy and an outspoken critic of the Federal Reserve's inflationary measures. He was an unwavering advocate of pro-life and pro-family values. Dr. Paul consistently voted to lower or abolish federal taxes, spending and regulation, and used his House seat to actively promote the return of government to its proper constitutional levels. In 1984, he voluntarily relinquished his House seat and returned to his medical practice.

Dr. Paul returned to Congress in 1997 to represent the 14th congressional district of Texas. He presently serves on the House Committee on Financial Services and the House Committee on Foreign Affairs. He continues to advocate a dramatic reduction in the size of the federal government and a return to constitutional principles.

Congressman Paul's consistent voting record prompted one of his congressional colleagues to say, "Ron Paul personifies the Founding Fathers" ideal of the citizen-statesman. He makes it clear that his principles will never be compromised, and they never are. "Another colleague observed, "There are few people in public life who, through thick and thin, rain or shine, stick to their principles. Ron Paul is one of those few."

Now, on to another note. Even after the semi-defeat on super-Tuesday, you just remember that we did not loose anything. No one was elected or bared from running. All it did was give us a reasonable goal to shoot for. But now that is is over DO NOT STOP! Continue the fight for what is right! We now have more then ample time to contact every American and let him/her hear about Ron Paul.

I personally sat outside our districts voting building all day with Ron Paul signs to tell people about him and believe it or not, there were over 15 people that came up who had not ever even heard of him. We have just began to fight!

That was a warm up! Now that we all know what to do lets go and do it with every fiber in our body! Let them know that we do not intend to stop and that there is NOTHING they can do short of killing us to quell this revolution! RON PAUL FOR PRESIDENT!

EDIT:
As I believe the message currently here is the one I need to be running for a while I will leave it and just do a edit. Things have been slow after the primary's, but be sore to go and vote in the upcoming caucus. This is just as important as the primary's as the popular vote does not always win.. If you have any other things to add or anything else be sure to contact me!
