My Recent Letter to the Editor

Our federal government is out of control. It pretends to have authority to do anything it wants and take anything it wants. The officials and bureaucrats in Washington DC intend to tell us how to live, where to live, what to eat, and on and on. Practically no facet of our lives that is not shaped by our federal government. One of the reasons why the United States of America is great is because it was founded by men who understood how oppressive a powerful central government could be and they rebelled against that government. Those men went on to formulate a contract between the new government and the people. That contract, which is our constitution, put powerful restrictions on the government and the few powers it did assign to it were distributed around so as not to give any one branch of government too much. Our founders knew that the freedoms won for the people would have to be constantly fought for or they would be lost. We have stopped fighting. That contract has been ignored and stomped on by the vast majority of men and women in Washington who take an oath of office to uphold that very document.
It is no wonder that most of the population of eligible voters is apathetic towards our political process. Who cares to choose a leader from the sea of corrupt individuals. Where are the true servant leaders who care more about this country and the individuals that make it up than their own personal power and wealth. I think I found one. He has a 20 year track record of following the constitution even when it would cost him dearly. He has fought battles on principles even when every other person in congress would rather look good than be truthful. This man is actually running for president and his message is powerful and it is becoming very popular. We finally have a clear choice this election season. We can choose this man and hope for truly limiting this government or pick any other candidate for more of the same.
I would like to urge everyone to carefully study and consider Ron Paul for president.
