Aside from Ron Paul, all other candidates are liberals Colorado
Tribune Thank you for the opportunity to respond to the editorial "Don't be deceived: Paul is no innovator" in the Jan. 12 Tribune. The Ron Paul candidacy is alive and thousands of people have given around $30 million to his campaign. Paul's candidacy is based on the ideas of the founders, spelled out in our Constitution and sworn to and then routinely ignored by most politicians. Paul has been re-elected as a Republican, now in his 10th term as a representative from Texas. The truth is, if you really want change, you will work to elect Paul as the next president. Except for Paul, there are only liberal choices from both parties. Paul is a pro-life medical doctor, and has delivered more than 4,000 babies and aborted none. I believe Paul would beat any of the Democrats and carry all the red states and some of the blue. He answers the questions in debates intelligently. He was second in Nevada, behind Romney. As the only man in the race promoting the idea that we are bound to follow the Constitution, he calls for sound money, private property and individual liberties with responsibilities attached.
Just so you can't say you weren't warned, the Federal Reserve Note used as currency in the United States is doomed to devalue to zero. It is a fiat currency and, as we will show, is well on its way to becoming completely worthless, as has every single fiat currency since the first one. Paul believes in a strong military that protects our nation, enforces our borders and engages in only just and declared wars. He believes in a sovereign United States, which operates independently of United Nation mandates and the world court. He supports only legal immigration and would end the "anchor baby" practice, where illegals' children born here are automatically citizens. The Jan. 12 editorial relegates Paul's economics to an "idiosyncratic economic idea." He prefers constitutional money, which we used from 1792 to 1912, resulting in a stable money supply and only a 1-percent inflation in 120 years. In 1913, with the introduction of the Federal Reserve (a private banking concern) we began to see the destruction of our constitutional economic system. The income tax (before ruled unconstitutional) was initiated in 1917, and by 1929 we saw Wall Street crash. In 1933 the government of the United States confiscated the people's gold, threatening fines and jail for non-compliance. Gold was then promptly revalued at about 60 percent higher than the government had issued in paper money. The Federal Reserve Note is so devalued now that it takes $900 to buy an ounce of gold that was purchased with $20 before 1933. We continue to see the inflation as the money was finally removed from the silver standard in the 1960s. Now that $10,000 house in Hillside costs $180,000 in FRNs. That's a 4,500 percent inflation in gold since 1930, and 1,800 percent in the house since 1962. Only Paul wants to restore sound money, eliminating the Federal Reserve System. If you support justice, life for unborn babies, returning to lawful constitutional money, restoring the American people's hope of a future and getting rid of the Internal Revenue Service, vote for Ron Paul, the only true change agent in the race. Information about him is easily found on the Internet. James Connelly is a Greeley resident.
