In the Ron Paul Administration

We will repeal the Patriot Act and the Militay Commissions Act. Restore Habeas Corpus. No more warrantless spying on the people. We need privacy for the people, and not secrecy for the government.

We need a return to the Constitution and the rule of law, by all three branches.

That means no more presidential wars. There is a debate about the war now, rather than before this aggression.

No more undeclared wars like Korea, Vietnam, or Iraq. No more wars for oil and imperialism.

They tell us if we leave there will be chaos. They claimed the same about Vietnam. China would rule the world, and dominoes would tumble.

Instead we have capitalism in China and Vietnam.

All our political actions must be dedicated to one thing: the promotion of individual liberty.

Not make-believe group rights, but individual rights, which come to us from our Creator and by our nature.

And we must be able to keep the fruits of our labor. No personal income tax! Repeal the 16th amendment.

He is asked: what should replace it? Nothing. And without an empire and a welfare state, we don't need these unAmerican exactions.

We own our lives. There should be no Selective Service, let alone a draft. The government does not own 18-year-olds or anyone else.
