Ron Paul on the House Floor: Repeal NDAA Section 1021 (1/18/2012)

January 18th, 2012

Dr. Ron Paul took to the floor of the House of Representatives on Wednesday, to call on his colleagues to re-examine and overturn offensive sections of the National Defense Authorization Act- which was signed into law by the President with little fanfare over the New Years' holiday. Section 1021 essentially overturns Posse Comitatus, turns all of America into a virtual battlefield, and gives the Executive Branch unchecked authority to indefinitely detain suspected terrorists or their sympathizers. This outrageous assault on due process turns back centuries of legal progress- yet where are all the proud progressives in the media? But we mustn't blame President Obama alone- neoconservatives in the Senate were absolutely central to the passage of this legislation. John McCain, Lindsey Graham, Joe Lieberman, and Carl Levin MUST GO! Video compliments of YouTube User: CongressmanRonPaul.

Ron Paul’s Floor Speech on the Debt Ceiling (7/19/2011)

July 19th, 2011

Congressman Ron Paul spoke during the house session on Tuesday, to express his displeasure towards the framing of the ongoing debate. Dr. Paul reminds his colleagues that the real default is ongoing, as the Treasury and the Federal Reserve buy their own debt, and in doing so devalues the American people's money! None of the currently offered proposals actually stops the accrual of new debt, and thus they aren't serious attempts at solving the problem. The Congressman also called on the body to address the endless spending on global militarism. Video compliments of YouTube User: MOXNEWSd0tCOM.

Ron Paul Addresses House Session: Libya Resolution Debate (6/24/2011)

June 24th, 2011

Rep. Ron Paul took to the floor of the House of Representatives in Friday morning, to argue against authorizing the ongoing aggression against Libya. Several resolutions are floating around the Congress today, the most prominent of which contain the necessary loopholes for the President to continue as he pleases, while ostensibly doing so within the law. What do we have, a monarchy, with a vestigial Congress to rubber-stamp the dictator's decrees? Not if Dr. Paul has anything to say about it!

Congressman Ron Paul Addresses the House of Reps (6/3/2011)

June 3rd, 2011

Dr. Ron Paul made his way to the podium to offer support to Rep. Dennis Kucinich's resolution, H.Con.Res.51, that would have (under authority of the War Powers Act) ordered the President to remove the United States Armed Forces from Libya. The concurrent resolution failed, thanks largely to Republican speaker of the House John Boehner, who offered a watered-down, non-binding resolution that does nothing to dis-empower Obama. Video of the Congressman's remarks can be found via C-Span coverage.

Ron Paul House Floor Speech (5/25/2011)

May 25th, 2011

Ron Paul took to the floor of the House of Representatives on Wednesday, to deliver his speech, entitled: The Last Nail. Will we simply discard the republic, and a limited government constrained by the Constitution? Ron Paul has had it, and so have I! The Congressman bemoans the Congress' willingness to accept a enhanced version of the Patriot Act, and to ignore their responsibility to enforce the War Powers provisions. Where is the media? They should ALL be calling Dr. Paul right about now! Video compliments of YouTube User: CongressmanRonPaul.

RP: "The last nail is being driven into the coffin of the American Republic. Yet, Congress remains in total denial as our liberties are rapidly fading before our eyes. The process is propelled by unwarranted fear and ignorance as to the true meaning of liberty. It is driven by economic myths, fallacies and irrational good intentions. The rule of law is constantly rejected and authoritarian answers are offered as panaceas for all our problems. Runaway welfarism is used to benefit the rich at the expense of the middle class. Who would have ever thought that the current generation and Congress would stand idly by and watch such a rapid disintegration of the American Republic? Characteristic of this epic event is the casual acceptance by the people and political leaders of the unitary presidency, which is equivalent to granting dictatorial powers to the President...The saddest part of this tragedy is that all these horrible changes are being done in the name of patriotism and protecting freedom. They are justified by good intentions while believing the sacrifice of liberty is required for our safety. Nothing could be further from the truth. More sadly is the conviction that our enemies are driven to attack us for our freedoms and prosperity, and not because of our deeply flawed foreign policy that has generated justifiable grievances and has inspired the radical violence against us. Without this understanding our endless, unnamed, and undeclared wars will continue and our wonderful experience with liberty will end."

Dr. Paul on the House Floor (2/8/2011)

February 9th, 2011

Congressman Ron Paul spoke out during House Session today in opposition to extending the unconstitutional "PATRIOT" Act. Unfortunately, he did not receive as much as time as originally scheduled, but the good news is that this is due to more speeches from increasing opposition. Due to the citizens calling their Representatives and voicing their opposition, the US House rejected extending three controversial provisions of the "PATRIOT Act" on Tuesday night.

RP Addresses the House on Foreign Policy (1/26/2011)

January 27th, 2011

Representative Ron Paul addressed the house session on Wednesday, to continue elaborating on the points he made last week regarding our 20 years in Iraq. With the new Congress now in session, the Congressman is re-telling the history of America's neo-colonial meddling in the Middle East in the post Cold War era. Dr. Paul exposes the way that former US ally Saddam Hussein was given the green light to invade Kuwait, by way of an expression of disinterest by then ambassador April Glaspie. In the absence of the Soviet Union, the neocons in the George HW Bush administration sought to create an enemy, from which to gain a foothold in the region. For the freshman Congresspeople and all Americans- these are the facts! YouTube User: MOXNEWSd0tCOM

Congressman Ron Paul returned to the floor of the house of representatives on Monday night, in response to the many Fed talking heads and lackeys who have been writing articles attempting to discredit the Good Doctor.

RP on House Floor: War & Bankruptcy (1/20/2011)

January 21st, 2011

On the twentieth anniversary of Operation Desert Storm, Congressman Paul took to the floor of the House of Representatives to deliver a speech, entitled: Perpetual War is Expensive. The Congressman points out how America's wars, with imprecise goals and enemies, tend to drag on at immense cost to the US taxpayer. Dr. Paul explains how the Pentagon essentially founded and enabled the Afghan Mujaheddin during the Cold War. That Afghan resistance evolved into the Islamist terror threat that menaces policy makers today! Should we keep fighting and occupying Muslim nations in total disregard of our impending bankruptcy? Video of the Congressman's remarks can be seen at the C-Span video library.

RP Talks WikiLeaks on House Floor (12/9/2010)

December 10th, 2010

Congressman Ron Paul took to the House floor Thursday night to defend those who speak (or print) truth to power, and to ask some important question regarding WikiLeaks to his fellow Representatives. He rebuked politicians and the media for blaming the messenger, as opposed to questioning the policies of the government. Moreover, Dr. Paul reminded the body: "Lying is not patriotic!" We should all be proud of the Congressman- taking an extremely unpopular position, virtually alone in the public eye. It's safe to say, from a populist perspective, the secrets of this government are of minimal risk to the security of the American people. Most likely, leaks will only show the corruption and dysfunctionality of the Pentagon and State Department. Beware the persecution of the whistle-blower!

RP to House: “Enough is Enough” (11/17/2010)

November 18th, 2010

In the midst of rising public outcry, Congressman Ron Paul took to the house floor on Wednesday night to decry the widespread abuses of the TSA against the dignity of the American people. Dr. Paul introduced the "American Traveler Dignity Act" in response to overreaching regulatory measures taken by the Transportation Safety Administration to implement potentially dangerous X-Ray screening procedures or invasive "pat-downs" by TSA officials. Campaign for Liberty has released a written statement opposing this regulatory overreach by the TSA. Some highlights from the address (quotes):

"I rise this evening to announce that I've introduced some legislation today dealing with the calamity that we have found at our airports, with TSA. Something has to be done. Everybody's fed up. The people are fed up. The pilots are fed up. I'm fed up!" (:06)

"We have to realize that the real problem is that the American people have been too submissive! We have been too submissive. It's been going on for a long time! This was to be expected, even from the beginning of the TSA. And it's deeply flawed. Private property should be protected by private individuals -- not bureaucrats!" (1:26)

"I see that what has happened to the American people is: we have accepted the notion that we should be treated like cattle. Make us safe. Make us secure. Put us in the barbed wire. Feed us. Fatten us up... and then they'll eat us." (4:54)

July 28th, 2010

Congressmen Dennis Kucinich and Ron Paul took to the House Floor to argue against the apparent escalation in hostilities going on across the Afghan border into Pakistan, which has been brought to light as of a result of the release of the 92,000 classified Wiki-Leaks documents. Dr. Paul chastised the "schizophrenic" nature of US foreign policy, exemplified by evidence that suggests the Taliban receive funding from money given to the Pakistani government by Washington (anyone else thinking C-I-A)! Dr. Paul spoke on three different occasions on Tuesday. The clips were edited together for ease of listening.

Ron Paul vs. the Fed (7/1/2010)

July 5th, 2010

Clips of Dr. Paul making his last gasp effort to hold the private and secretive Federal Reserve accountable to the American people. The Senate rejected the full audit, as Senator Sanders capitulated to White House pressure. The Vitter Amendment was rejected by a full Senate vote, yet Ron Paul persevered and forced an up-or-down vote by the House. Despite having a majority of Representatives cosponsor HR1207, many voted in favor of Fed secrecy when it came down to the wire. Below are clips of Dr. Paul doing his best to lobby on behalf of sound money and the Constitution:

Congressman Paul addressed the House in favor of a full and thorough audit of the Fed

Congressman Paul was presented with an award from the Freshman Republicans, recognizing H.R. 1207 as being the "best legislation filed during the 111th Congress."

Congressman Ron Paul discusses the latest in the efforts to get a full and complete audit of the Fed as well as the future of Fed transparency. Like Congressman Paul says, we've accomplished a lot of good with our movement, and there's many reasons to be optimistic for the future.
