Soon, it will be Maine's turn to weigh in on the presidential horse race. There are several candidates in the field promising change and many more who would just assume stay the course. One thing is clear: we cannot continue to live beyond our means, going $2 billion deeper into debt to China and Saudi Arabia every day, printing more money than we can account for, and passing all of our problems on to the next generation.
Who can be trusted to lead the nation in this era of unknown dangers and economic uncertainty? We all want a strong defense, economic prosperity, and to live by the values we choose. But who is speaking for the heart of America? And who will put her back on course?
We deserve a president with the humility to admit that our government has grown too powerful. Ron Paul would be a true president of the people. He is a Christian, a veteran, and a strong family man. As a doctor, thousands of women have trusted him with the care of their newborn child. Americans can trust Dr. Paul to deliver real change to our broken health care system and put medical decisions back in our hands.
Our soldiers and veterans prefer Ron Paul because he will bring a responsible end to the war in Iraq and restore honor to our presidency. After all, they fight for our freedoms and to defend the Constitution.
After 10 terms, Congressman Paul has had to break with his party many times and the lobbyists don't even stop by his office anymore. He is our nation's leading advocate for freedom- boldly defending civil liberties and property rights wherever the rule of men threatens to replace the rule of law.
If you agree that our republic has drifted far from its beginnings and that we must recapture her strength in the spirit of liberty and justice for all, please register Republican by January 17th and caucus for Ron Paul. America's future rests in our hands.
