Our Founders considered the issue of a Roman Law based system, one that explicitly mandates what will and will not be legal. They rejected this as incompatible with a free people. Remember that the next time you are stopped for a traffic violation. No ticket you ever received was Constitutional any more than the continued attempts to take your guns, stop you from speaking out against government, or use government to profit corporations by waging war.


Over and over again Dr. Paul has said that freedom is secured when the people understand and use the Constitution and the Common Law. He has also maintained that government in the hands of the people, not the FED, must control our money. Each of these functions, justice and money, must remain absolutely within the guidelines of the Constitution.


Our ancestors fought a revolution to secure a government controlled by the people; we need to take back what they built, but this time we will do it using persuasion, the Constitution, and the free market. That is our job. We have more tools than our Founders could have imagined and we will use them. A people who are competent to govern themselves are a people who have learned how by freeing themselves from their oppressors again.


Ron Paul has shown us the way.


The Ron Paul Revolution was born via Internet; that is the technology that birthed the connections that unite us today. It is that technology that will also give us back control of our money. Americans can have a bank that they can trust, a bank that will see the Ron Paul Dollar in use, along with the gold and silver backed currency mandated by the Constitution.


Imagine yourself buying a new car powered with hydrogen from a factory located within the United States. See yourself paying for that car in gold Liberty dollars. Hear them clink. Imagine yourself living in the home you own, free and clear, knowing that the house was not purchased through fractional reserve banking. It is built to last; it could well shelter your great-great grandchildren without using a single electron of power bought from an electric company. Imagine a banking system that, like the Internet, sits on your desk, that you carry around in your pocket. If you think this is too good to be true you are wrong; this is the world that we can have.


Ron pointed the way then thanked us for inviting him to the Revolution. He has dedicated his life to serving and educating others. Today our Founders are dead and Ron is 72 years old. His next term in Congress will be his last. He has grown old in service to the cause of freedom and if you ask him he will tell you that he hopes that we get to live the future that includes a gold-backed currency, clean fuel, and homes we can own absolutely. A grandfather 18 times over, this is what he wants for his own grandchildren, too. We can make those hopes reality; you can be part of the movement that converts dream to simple fact.


The means have been coalescing in unexpected places. While Ron Paul was standing alone for freedom in Congress, dismissed as irrelevant to the direction of government and politics, the battle over how the people would take back control of their money was being decided.
