What has been dubbed one of the most crucial presidential campaigns in American history, will soon reach its climactic finale this November. By now we all are aware that “Washington is broke and needs fixing” and that “change” is the cure for this seemingly lukewarm melting pot. Of course, the new administration will come in and pick up the pieces and fix everything, right? It begins with the immediate concern of the bubble that burst on Wall Street, drenching us?the tax payers?with the burden of economic recourse, while CEOs of bankrupt companies land feet first with the aid of their golden parachutes. By the time this article is read the infamous $700 billion package either passed or wasn’t a hit and was rejected. I fear the first part.
Once upon a time there was a man, a very good man and he wanted to run for president of the United States. He played fair but that was not the way the others played in Washington, where the president works. He tried and tried but the others didn’t want to see the truth that would make everyone safe and happy. The bad men loved money and gained control?but the man wouldn’t give up. He started to talk to people. The man told them about liberty and they grew strong. Then they multiplied. The end.
This issue’s invitation to dinner is for Rep. Ron Paul, of the 14th congressional district of Texas. I encourage those of you not familiar with him to become so. His words are logical and easily understood. His desire and commitment to this country’s foundation is his motivation?not deep pockets. Congressman Paul, serving on the House Financial Services Committee, Sept. 22, questioned Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Berneke about price fixing and stated that his proposed “fixing” of this enigma is the equivalent to “creating money and credit out of thin air.” Not only is this unconstitutional, expressed Paul, but it is not the solution. Basically you can’t solve the problem of inflation by creating more inflation.
Terms like “short selling,” “sub-prime mortgages,” “derivatives,” etc., have become the burden that the average American now must become familiar with since they represent our inherited mess we must “rise to the challenge” and “do our part” to correct.
Congressman Paul is a strong voice of reason. His wisdom is igniting thousands around the country to wake up and educate themselves about their government and its constitution. You don’t hear much about his rallies and constant whereabouts since he isn’t the celebrity, stadium filling, highly publicized, political apparatus?but that is not quelling his efforts to set forth an agenda to restore America.
Along I-24 east, (right before the Old Hickory exit) there is a remaining Ron Paul for President sign nailed to a tree?a lone beacon of hope. It’s sort of like Congressman Paul, it’s not very big but you still notice it.
Congressman Paul, it would be an honor to have you over for dinner. Just please call before you come.
