Whether you are aware of it or not, your freedoms and liberties are being stifled more and more every day. Our government is growing bigger and more oppressive (Orwellian, if you will) while our politicians are becoming more corrupt and self-motivated. From both sides of the ideological spectrum ' Democrat and Republican ' we see that presidential candidates are falling into the hands of special interest groups and major corporate or individual sponsors. The concerns of the common people are not what these politicians care about most. There is one presidential candidate, however, who is truly for the people. He is not mentioned in the mainstream media, though, because the media realizes he is dangerous. With enough momentum, he could be the next president of the United States of America. He offers solutions to America's current quandaries. He strives for a free society. He votes strictly in accordance with the Constitution. His name is Dr. Ron Paul, and he is a congressman from Texas running on the Republican ticket. But don't let that fool you. Ron Paul is a Libertarian and a Constitutionalist in true form. He has never voted for the Iraq war (unlike so many of our flip-floppers in the legislature). He has never voted for an unbalanced budget, unnecessary tax hikes, or the Patriot Act. Ron Paul is an advocate for states' rights, smaller government, free trade, less taxes and a non-interventionalist foreign policy. Ron Paul's vision of America is simple. He wants what all of us want: a free society. If you're interested in helping the campaign for Ron Paul, come to the OU Students for Ron Paul meet-up group. We meet Sunday nights at 7:30 at the Donkey. So choose freedom. Choose liberty. Choose Ron Paul for president.
