The reason I have put this together is because tomorrow
is the date of the GOP primary in Wisconsin. While I realize that you
may or may not consider yourself to be Republican, or even politically
active at all, it is important to note that Wisconsin has an 'open
primary' where any registered voter can participate. You are also able
to register on the day of the primary, if you have not yet registered to
vote. Our current president does not have a challenger in the primary;
so even if you consider yourself a Democrat, you've got nothing to lose
by participating and casting a vote for your preference in the current
field of Republican candidates.
I
believe, very strongly, that our nation is at a critical point in it's
history. If I
did not feel so strongly about it, I would not have taken the time to
compose
such a message as this, or litter my Facebook page full of political
content. I certainly would not risk the chance of being viewed as an
oddball or activist if I did not think it was
important to share my thoughts on the subject. However, I am convinced
that our national security is severely threatened by our national debt,
monetary policy, and foreign policy. I believe these threats to be more
significant than that of any 'enemy' or 'rogue nation'. There will
likely be a large number of people in this country who, at some point in
the next five years, will come to utter the words, "If only we had
known.." It is my hope that we become, and remain,
well-informed with regards to the events of our current day and age, and
the proper political response.
Regardless of
what you may believe, or have been told by your favorite news outlet,
here are what I consider to be the most pressing problems we face as a
nation:
-National Debt: Here.
-Budget Deficit: Here.
-Foreign Policy: Here.
-Constitutional Ignorance: Here.
-Monetary Policy / Federal Reserve System: Here and here.
-Civil Liberties and Personal Freedoms: Here, here, and here.
While
this may be contrary to your current beliefs, or current preference in a
Presidential Candidate, here is who I believe is best suited to lead
our nation at this time:
-Ron Paul
Whether
you agree with me or not, here are some links containing pertinent
information confirming, at least in my mind, why Ron Paul is the man for
the job in 2012:
-His understanding of the economy and his many predictions proven accurate over the years: Here, here, and here.
-On the National Debt: Here, here, and here.
-On the Budget Deficit: Here, here, and here. See the actual budget he proposed here.
-On Foreign Policy: Here, here, and here. He advocates the Just War theory of Christianity. Here.
-On knowledge of The Constitution: Here, here, and here.
-On Monetary Policy: Here, here, and here.
-On Civil Liberties and Personal Freedoms: Here, here, and here.
Link to a quiz that determines who you should vote for, based on your answers to a set of policy questions: Here.
Here are some books that are available to read online for free; written by Ron Paul:
-Freedom Under Seige
-Mises and Austrian Economics
-The Case for Gold
-Gold, Peace, and Prosperity
-Abortion and Liberty (He is pro-life to the core.)
If
you have no opinion, or simply don't want to take sides, please come
out and vote anyway. If, for some reason, you really don't care which
candidate becomes the Republican nominee, vote anyway. I ask that you
consider Ron Paul.
Thanks for your time,
-Josh-

ReplyDeleteJosh, we have discussed out political views. Do I believe America has come to the time for a 3rd party - you bet! I don't fit in the "box of red or blue" However, this election to defeat Obama is too important to not vote to "kick him" out of office. Ron Paulers and Tea Partiers have made it known that we are not happy with the staus quo - am I happy with the choices - NO. I also know that we need to defeat Obama and the liberalism socialistic policy! Our country is on the edge of a huge cliff and we can't let it go over. So, when November rolls around....I hope everyone keeps that in mind.
ReplyDeleteWe're definitely in a tough spot. If we allow President Obama a 2nd term, we face the consequences of another four years of absolute fiscal insanity. However, if we allow Mitt Romney to hold that office, I don't see much change over what we currently have. Which is why it's very hard to find anyone who's actually excited about Mitt Romney, or voting for him. Here's hoping he can pull it off. :)
DeleteAgree. Mitt, Obama - whichever is the next president, we need to MAKE them listen to us. There are more people who are fed up than "they" think.
