Product Description
There is no doubt that Ron Paul has become the enchanter of the disenchanted, but the best way to understand him is to take a quick look at his voting record. He has never voted to raise taxes. He has never voted for an unbalanced budget. He has never voted to raise congressional pay. He has never taken a government-paid junket. He has never voted to increase the power of the executive branch. He voted against the Patriot Act. He voted against regulating the Internet. He voted against the Iraq war. In fact, Congressman Paul's consistent voting record prompted one of his congressional colleagues to say, "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." Operating from a unique strain of libertarian republicanism, Ron Paul's beliefs are refreshingly logical, even if you disagree with his principles. He is a Republican in the truest sense of the word, not at all what that word has grown to represent. At a recent Republican debate, the candidates were asked if they would go to war with Iran. All of them bumbled on about consulting lawyers, the cabinet, and their delegates. Ron Paul, outraged somewhat, stated quite simply, "This idea of consulting attorneys just baffles me. Why don't we just open up the Constitution and read it? You're not allowed to go to war without a declaration of war!" This is his call to arms for a nation that needs to change, but doesn't know how. Barry Goldwater defined a conservative in the 1960's, and with this manifesto, Ron Paul redefines it for the modern day.

True Freedom! December 3, 2008

I wish everyone would listen to this. It talks about many differant areas that goverment interacts in our lives and the seen and unseen consequences. Dr. Paul is articulate in a way that most Conservatives are not. His insightfulness is inspiring to anyone I know that listens, because Freedom is a powerful message.
 Sure writes better than he interviews December 2, 2008

I found Ron Paul's "Revolution" to be a short, thoughtful, extremely articulate diatribe against current federal gov't practices in taxation and spending, over regulation, int'l relations, and monetary policy. Though he is treated as a bit of a kook by the 4th estate's talking heads, his arguments are clear and persuasive. Well worth the few hours I spent reading it.

It's really refreshing to hear from a politician that is honest and puts americans first. Ron Paul is an intellectual human that soars. He gained my attention at the republican debate when he squared off against Rudy and spoke so boldly. Instead of speaking for applause points he spoke from research, facts, and heart . I hope that this books finds it's way into every home in America. A must read!

What a great book. The other members of Congress should be ashamed of themselves. This is a must-read for everyone. Not too long, easy to read. Give us our country back!
