Rod supports the principles espoused by the
2008 Ron Paul for President campaign

Dr. Ron Paul

Lobbyists don’t bother to visit him in Congress. Why? Because he never supports any bill that violates the Constitution or gives handouts to their bosses, no matter who they are. Ron Paul served his country as a flight surgeon. He was a popular physician who treated all in need whether they could pay or not. He is a devoted husband, father, and grandfather. He grows organic tomatoes and loves the land. Ron Paul has been called the modern Thomas Jefferson. He asks that you join him in a second American revolution to restore our liberty.

Join the Ron Paul movement.

Thousands have — throughout this nation and around the world. More men and women serving overseas donated to his presidential campaign than any other. Don’t believe the cynical lie that we can’t fight the big money that funds politics as usual. People of every age, race, and background, united by a message of freedom, peace, and prosperity, intend to take this country back. The election may be over but our fight has just begun! We will not lose because we know we are fighting for our the future of our country and we know we will win if we never give in.

Congressman Ron Paul is the symbol of this new and growing movement. He has a consistent voting record that is not dictated by special interests in Washington, DC. Many promise in the election season; Ron Paul has always delivered. He has stood resolute against our government’s interference overseas, in the economy, and in our personal lives. He is the champion of the Constitution.

And now Ron Paul has put his strong support behind what is being called the 'Campaign for Liberty' whose mission is to promote and defend the great American principles of individual liberty, constitutional government, sound money, free markets, and a noninterventionist foreign policy, by means of educational and political activity.

Excerpt from Dec. 3, 2007 Salon.com article: "Ron Paul is a baby elephant"

. . . Many of them talk about how refreshing it is to find a politician who speaks bluntly and forcefully about the importance of personal liberty.

"He's got the brass ones to go where the other ones are afraid to," explains Fenimore, the door-to-door salesman who is leading cheers at Murphy's. To hear him tell it, Fenimore's affection for Paul is rooted in his love for his country as the land of the free. "In elementary school, I fell in love with the idea of America," he says, adding that he is not sure he will be able to afford staying in New Hampshire through January. "I tell people I can't afford to do it, but I can't afford not to do it."

But perhaps the best explanation of the Paul phenomenon came from Rammelkamp, the young man from Long Island who had taken on significant credit card debt for the Paul campaign. He told me that to understand Paul, I had to think of the American people as a baby elephant, chained to a tree. "It realizes that it can only walk 5 feet in each direction. It realizes that it is a slave. When it grows old enough, it is strong enough to break away from the tree. But it doesn't know." He pauses, to let this sink in -- the American people are a captive animal unaware of its own power to claim liberty. "When was the last time you tried it?" he asks me of breaking free. "Maybe you are strong enough."

And so for thousands of his supporters, Paul has begun to symbolize freedom itself. He is the baby elephant who broke his chains, the Guy Fawkes for a new millennium. And with his candidacy, his supporters believe he shows a way out of the morass in Iraq, a way away from the burden of taxation and the fear of economic insecurity, a way to strike back against the creeping power of the federal government and the free-spending culture of Washington. He is a political savior for people who feel trapped by two political parties that have failed to solve the nation's problems, by a political dialogue that often skirts the real issues, and by a federal government that expands its power by marketing fear. Ron Paul, they hope, is the way out. "It's like do or die," says Linda Hannan, a 35-year-old paralegal from Staten Island, N.Y., as the Murphy's celebrations continue. "Liberty and freedom are our future."
