Powerful remarks from Congressman Ron Paul on ending the war in Afghanistan. Whether you’re a democrat or republican, it’s hard to take sides with this video. They aren’t any. Enjoy it. Share it.

Great video of congressman Ron Paul explaining — in plain English — the Federal Reserve to CNBC’s Erin Burnett. If America needs an example of how their elected officials should behave, this video is a good start:

If you are a democrat or republican, it’s time to ask yourself some tough questions. In the last twenty years — under the leadership of democrats and republicans — Americans have been dragged through recessions, bubbles, and endless wars that were never constitutionally declared or in the best interest of the people.

Both parties have failed to serve America and protect the U.S. Constitution. We deferred our responsibility to maintain a moral government to corrupt politicians and showbiz politics. We were bamboozled by the spin and image of both parties.

Ultimately, it is we the people who must pay for the recklessness of D.C. politics in the form of decreased purchasing power, freedom, and liberty. Is this what you stand for as an American? The “real war” is right here at home and we’re losing to incompetent and corrupt politicians we’ve allowed to lead us.

We have reached a critical juncture in America’s history. The problems we face cannot be solved by the current crop of “leaders” or voting for the same people each election. We must think openly and rationally about the damage both parties have done to our beloved country. Our job as citizens does not end at the voting booth — that’s only the start of it.

Democrats and republicans in Washington have given Americans plenty of reasons to defect and chart a new course in American politics. The leaders of both parties have had ample time to prove their love for America. Instead, they chose to give us a whopping $12 Trillion debt and a $2 Trillion war.

Are the policies and actions of your elected officials acceptable to you?

If you care anything about your country, leave your party, or prolong the pain we’ve yet to experience.

All around the country today, passionate Americans will be advocating for an end to the Federal Reserve: A fraudulent and unconstitutional entity. We will be calling for a sound monetary policy in America, one which isn’t based on printing money ‘out of thin air’.

If you unaware of how the Federal Reserve works, I urge you to watch the following video for an introduction. You may find more on Google Video and YouTube. Please educate yourself.

I received the following e-mail via a Ron Paul Meetup group I’m subscribed to. I’ve always had my doubts about the validity of the IRS and I thought I’d pass along the word about one man’s battle to prove that the IRS is unconstitutional:

This is the case that will prove that the 16th Amendment was never ratified. He and Red Beckman have been working for years trying to get this through. This is the Achilles heel for the IRS. If the 16th Amendment wasn’t ratified CONSTITUTIONALLY than the IRS goes bye bye!

The 7th Circuit Court of Appeals has set oral argument on Benson’s appeal for October 28, 2008 at 10:00 a.m in the main courtroom, Rm. 2721, at 219 S. Dearborn Street, Chicago, IL.

I have previously spoken with several of you about helping to arrange a mass demonstration and notifying the press regarding this historical case. I have also issued a Call to Arms on my website with a list of actions that could be taken. To date, not much has happened. Now there is just about 30 days.

This is the last chance. We can either put political pressure on the 7th Cir, Congress and notify the press or not. Its up to you.

We can do a mass press release for about $2,000 by hiring a PR firm that specializes in that type of work. I already have the contact. If you want that to happen, you need to send the money, now.

If you want to organize a protest and mass get together outside the 7th Cir, you need to do that, now. You will need permits and figure out how to get people to show up.
