About Us - A Message fromCongressman Ron Paul http://www.thelibertycommittee.org/message_from_ron_paul.htm January 31, 2002Dear friend of liberty,You can make a difference.Three years ago, a small group of men and women, united by their determination to restore liberty in the United States, formed The Liberty Committee. These men and women recognized that socialists have, for decades, been actively involved in our national legislative process; patiently, methodically, relentlessly working to make us subjects of the government, instead of the government being subject to us. The founding members of The Liberty Committee came together to fight these collectivists and reclaim our country from their clutches.The national legislative process, I readily admit, can be complicated, frustrating and boring. The socialists, however, do not let this deter them from their objective. They understand that the legislative process produces the laws that we, believers in the rule of law, live by. Several years ago, a brazen socialist looked at me and quipped, "We know you freedom lovers respect the rule of law.and that's why we use the law against you."We freedom lovers are fighting back! Since the formation of The Liberty Committee, thousands of freedom lovers from every congressional district in the country have become actively involved with us in the national legislative process. Sixteen of my U.S. House colleagues have joined my liberty caucus. Together we are making a difference.Only last month legislation was quickly moving through the House Committee on International Relations that would have accelerated the transformation of the United States military into the standing army of the United Nations - a long-sought goal of the world socialists. As a member of the committee, I strongly opposed the legislation as did thousands of freedom lovers throughout the country who told their U.S. representative "the US military is NOT the UN's military." The legislation was changed. Battle won.The success we will have in rolling back the socialists' authoritarian agenda is yet to be determined. You have a part in the outcome. You can join us. Then, together with my caucus of liberty-minded colleagues on Capitol Hill and freedom-loving Americans nationwide, you can have an effect on the legislative process. As our numbers grow, so grows our influence.Together we can do much, but only you can take the first step. Your first step is to join us.For liberty,

    Well Mr. Paul, heres your little pat on the back you seem to be looking for, there, there. NOW HOW ABOUT GETTING OFF YOU BUTT AND DOING SOMETHING THAT MATTERS!!! This guy must be worried about his numbers.Sixteen of my U.S. House colleagues have joined my liberty caucus. As a member of the committee, I strongly opposed the legislation as did thousands of freedom lovers throughout the country who told their U.S. representative "the US military is NOT the UN's military." The legislation was changed. Battle won. Then, together with my caucus of liberty-minded colleagues on Capitol Hill and freedom-loving Americans nationwide, you can have an effect on the legislative process. As our numbers grow, so grows our influence.Too many I's and My's in their to suit me.

    You couldn't have put it better robsguns. The ratio of personal pronouns to the number of words actually spoken has been quite revealing over the last couple of years.

    Personal pronouns aside the guy has a very valid point. He calls them socialists, not liberals. He is against a socialist, repressive government. Why do you have a problem with that?

    I am not going to criticize Ron PAul- He is one of the few in Congress who knows what freedom is.

    Hey, guys! Look before you leap. Ron Paul[ my congressman, by the way] is the state of Texas' leading advocate for the right of concealed carry, the right to keep and bear arms, the right to purchase a firearm, etc. The fact that he is classified a politician should not be the sole definitive reason to automatically eleminate his opinions. As a matter of fact, I feel free to suggest His Ideas may be parallel to a vast majority of the opinions of the respondents to THIS forum. As Thomas Jefferson once said, "Ignorant and free can never be.".Tideman

    You guys that know him, are probably correct about his intentions. I dont know him. I dont even pretend to pay attention to what he says, cause I dont vote in his state. I just thought that his glaring use of words describing things as 'his', were out of the ordinary, considering its going to be the actions of all, and not one, that make or break his caucus. It just didnt sit right with me.

    Robsguns, I can assure you he's on our side. Check out his web site and you'll see he fights for "Truth, Justice and the American Way".Tideman
