This much is true:
You have been lied to, robbed and used by your own government–the people you elected into office and the people you should be able to trust…

In a nation thirsty for change, The Revolution is Ron Paul’s call to arms. Moving from topic to topic at a quick pace, whittling everything down to its bare essentials, Paul tackles everything facing us today: the false choices in American politics, foreign policy as it was laid out by the founding fathers, how we can achieve economic freedom, how we should view abortion, civil liberties and personal responsibility, and what role the government is supposed to play in our lives. As Barry Goldwater defined conservatism in the 60’s, Ron Paul redefines it for the 21st century with The Revolution.

Dr. Ron Paul, a ten-term congressman from Texas, is the leading advocate of freedom in our nation’s capital. He has devoted his political career to the defense of individual liberty, sound money, and a non-interventionist foreign policy.

After serving the United States as a flight surgeon in the U.S. Air Force in the 1960s, Dr. Paul moved to Texas to begin a medical practice, delivering over 4,000 babies in his career as an obstetrician. He served in Congress from 1976 to 1984, and again from 1996 to the present. He and Carol Paul, his wife of 51 years, have five children, eighteen grandchildren, and one great-grandchild.

The New York Post once wrote, Ron Paul is a politician who “cannot be bought by special interests.” There are few people in public life who, through thick and thin, rain or shine, stick to their principles,” added a congressional colleague. “Ron Paul is one of those few.”
