The following passages from the Oct. 22 “Ron Paul: the movement that is beginning a revolution” article should have been cited as follows:
“Take a look at any poll and you get the sense that America is disgusted with their government, with the war and with the lack of any sort of coherent foreign policy.
You get the sense that the country is desperate for someone to show us the way. Not the old way. Not the same way, but a new way.
Think about this for a minute. What if we pulled our troops from the Korean peninsula where they’ve been for 50 years? What if we stopped imposing embargoes and sanctions against other nations and engaged them in trade and dialogue? What if we pulled all of our troops out of Iraq? What if we actually and realistically addressed the debt and paid attention to the huge burden we are placing on our generations to come. Guess whose ideas these are. You hardly ever hear his name. This is Republican candidate Ron Paul.
So here is the question? Should more people be listening to what Ron Paul has to say? “

“Take a look around at this country today. Do you think it resembles the kind of country that the founding fathers aimed to establish?
We have land confiscation being sold to corporations; imprisonment without charges, torture; pre-emptive war under false pretenses; the Federal Reserve’s inflation, IRS, domestic terrorism; deficit-spending financed by China; and a dollar that is continuing a freefall in value. We have loss of sovereignty through GATT, NAFTA, CAFTA, the UN.
We have a secretive movement to establish a North American Union to integrate the United States with Mexico and Canada. We have the government taxing you and I to pay for the welfare of illegal aliens. Meanwhile the government wants to force you to get a National ID Card so that the law enforcement can summon you for your “papers” at a whim.
This is not what the founding fathers wanted for America.
But there is only one candidate for president who is right on all those issues.. He stands for personal liberty, as granted us by our Creator. He wants sound money and a humble foreign policy. He wants fair trade instead of managed trade for the benefit of insiders. He wants a small, fiscally responsible government. He wants to get the government out of manipulating your healthcare. He supports your right to bear arms. He has been referred to as the founding father of our time.
John McCain once said, before he vied for president, that this man is the most honest man in Washington. The man I am speaking of is Ron Paul. If you want your country back, then consider Ron Paul for president.
Let freedom ring, as it did in 1787. “
