Reagan Endorses Ron Paul

Ron likes Ron--and vice versa.

In 1976 when the "mainstream" Republican Party leadership thought Ronald Reagan was a unelectable kook (yes, the same Reagan that GOP candidates now trip over themselves to praise as one of the greatest presidents in American history), Ron Paul was one of only four Republican Congressmen to endorse Reagan for president.

Ron Paul stuck to his guns and history proved him right.

"Ron Paul is one of the outstanding leaders fighting for a stronger national defense. As a former Air Force officer, he knows well the needs of our armed forces, and always puts them first. We need to keep him fighting for our country."--Ronald Reagan

What did President Reagan think of all those anti-Reagan unelectable/kook/crank/crackpot/extremist accusations?

“What they called radical was really right. What they called dangerous was just desperately needed.”—Ronald Reagan, farewell address

Will Americans 20 years from now be praising President Ron Paul like they now praise President Ronald Reagan?

Military Families Endorse Ron Paul

Military families chose Ron Paul over any other Republican candidate, a Zogby "blind bio" telephone survey which asked about candidates' policies showed.

Ron Paul won 33% compared to only 18% for Guliani and even less for the other so-called "major" contenders.

The poll was a "blind bio" which reduces the mainstream media (MSM) 's power to "elect" your president for you through their editorial control over screen time, name recognition, and labels such as "frontrunner." The blind bio presents people with the candidate's platform without the name attached.

Military families chose Captain Ron Paul:

Candidate A is a 10-term US Congressman from a large Southern state who is an advocate for a smaller government and individual liberty. This candidate believes in strictly following the Constitution and has never voted to raise taxes. He has never voted in favor of the war in Iraq or the Patriot Act, and wants to bring troops home as soon as possible. As a former doctor, this candidate has delivered more than 4,000 babies. One of this candidate's goals is to return America to the gold standard, and he believes that the current monetary policy needs to be drastically overhauled because of the dollar's decline.
