Good evening
My name is xxx, I am a entrepreneur and owner of a online advertising company based here in Lebanon NH. I have the great pleasure tonight to speak on the behalf of Congressman Ron Paul.
Congressman Ron Paul is a family man who has been married for over 50 years. He is a doctor and was a flight surgeon in the Air Force. Congressman Paul's Conservative message rings true with our military. In the 2nd and 3rd quarter Congressman Paul has raised over $133,000 from active duty military. That is almost twice as much raised by Obama and more than all other republican candidates combined.
That conservatism can be judged by his voting record and according to a study done by the University of Georgia Congressman, Ron Paul has the most conservative and consistent voting record of any member of congress since 1937.
Sticking to his conservative values Congressman Paul has never voted :
To Increase Taxes
On an unbalanced budget
For federal restrictions on guns.
To increase the power of the executive branch.
To regulate the internet
Congressman Paul also does not participate in the lucrative congressional pension program
He also returns a portion of his congressional office budget to the treasury every year.
He has never voted for a bailout or stimulus spending.
All his votes reflect the original intent of the Constitution.
Congressman Paul, who is the chair of the Financial Services Subcommittee Domestic Monetary Policy, has long fought to get a full and complete audit of the federal reserve and has recently won a small victory, in that fight, receiving a partial audit of the Fed.
That small audit of the Federal Reserve has reveled, that in secret, Ben Bernanky authorized 16 trillion dollars in bank bailouts. More astonishing yet 5 trillion of those dollars were given to foreign banks.
This is why as part of the Paul Budget plan is to rein in the power of the Federal Reserve while completing a full audit. The Paul Budget Plan recognizes the seriousness of our debt and currency crisis. That is why Ron Paul will propose to cut 1 trillion dollars from the federal budget in year one, while eliminating five federal departments.
The Paul Plan to Restore America Now will balance the budget in 3 years by
Eliminate HUD
Eliminate the department of Energy
Eliminate the department of commerce
Eliminate the department of interior
Eliminate the department of Education, bringing education back where it belongs, to the parents, teachers and local communities.
End all foreign aide and the nation building that comes along with it.
He will reduce the federal work force by 10%. Paul will do this through attrition. Meaning he will freeze federal hiring.
Paul will call for a full repeal of Obamacare, Dodd-Frank and repeal other job killing regulations.
Congressman Paul will lower the cooperate tax rate to 15%. This will help bring jobs back and spur the economy.
And finally my personal favorite; He will cut the presidential salary from $400,000/year to just over $39,000/year which is the median income for a citizen.
All of this can be done while lowering the debt and honoring our promises to our seniors and veterans.
This plan will deliver what America needs in these difficult times: Major regulatory relief, large spending cuts, sound monetary policy, a balanced budget and maybe most importantly bring capital and jobs back.
Thank you for allowing me to speak tonight and I hope you consider voting for Ron Paul in the upcoming primary.
