Ron Paul's New Year's Message to Congress
by
Ron Paul
As
I prepare to retire from Congress I’d like to suggest a few New Year’s resolutions for my colleagues to consider. For the sake of liberty, peace
and prosperity I certainly hope more members of Congress consider the strict libertarian-constitutional approach to government in 2013.
In
just a few days, Congress will solemnly swear to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.
They should read Article 1 Section 8 and the Bill of Rights before taking such a serious oath. Most legislation violates key provisions of the
Constitution in very basic ways, and if members can’t bring themselves to say “no” in the face of pressure from the special interests, they have
broken trust with their constituents and violated their oath. Congress does not exist to serve the special interests. It exists to protect the rule of
law.
I
also urge my colleagues to end unconstitutional wars overseas...

Feedback
"The recent shootings by a deranged individual at a public school is indeed a tragedy. Equally tragic was the gun
trafficking into Mexico that was perpetrated by our own BATF during Fast and Furious. Many laws on the books were broken in both instances and that
didn't stop either from happening. More laws and restrictions on gun ownership by law abiding citizens will not stop these sorts of tragedies in the
future either. Please do not allow public or political pressure to sway you or your associates in Congress to vote yes on a knee jerk piece of
legislation because of the anti-gun propaganda that is rampant at this time.
In my opinion, the firearm solution to this problem is to allow
all law abiding citizens with Concealed Handgun Licenses in the USA, the legal right to carry it anywhere they go. This would include schools, federal
buildings, court rooms, work places, anywhere it is illegal to carry a concealed handgun at this time. Criminals and deranged people need to fear that
any US citizen could have a gun in their possession anywhere they are and could defend themselves and those around them.
Thanks for your time
and your support for 2nd amendment rights in the past and the future."
"When
Cain murdered Abel God didn't blame the weapon used but "sin lieth at the door". The blame was found with Cain and his motives. Not weapon control but
criminal control."
"Please
talk about how every young male mass shooter has been known to take synthetic pharmaceutical drugs. Psychotropic drugs are directly linked to nearly
all mass shootings in past decades. But no one talks about it. Please, please bring attention to the synthetic drugs related to gun violence. Thank
you."
"I
can see what Dr. Paul is concentrating on post-election. He is trying to reach out to the young people in this country and students. I totally support
him in his endeavors. If Dr. Paul is going to run for president in 2016, there is much to be done in the next four years. I think a good start would
be to give some overall guidance to his followers and start talking about the most effective way that we can help him to be successful. I would like
to see C4L to carry those messages. We may also have to break away from the Republican Party. It too has sold out to special interests. Form a party
within the nation (or use Tea Party) of strong constitutionalists and conservative values that this nation was founded on. Thank you!"
