Why America Is Ready for Ron Paul 2012

Obama had great ideas when he went into office. Ideas of social justice and pulling out our troops and fighting for the American people. Ideas that the American people supported and voted him into office.

Throughout his term, we have seen numerous pieces of legislation that the American people largely supported get shot down. America called for a balanced budget, and time and time again partisanship reigned. Compromise was a foreign word in the national government.

If there are proposals that the American people support that cannot be passed through Congress, is that not an indication that our democratic society is completely backwards? Our national government is doing what they think is 'best for the country' when their job is to act as a proxy for the states they represent.

What about the seventeen-year-old who told me she wanted to be a lobbyist because she wanted to have a say in government? When we have to resort to being a lobbyist in order to feel as if we have a say in our government, something is wrong. The government is supposed to be a representation of the wants of the American people.

Ron Paul is, and has been, in support of reverting the country back to the way it was designed in the constitution. States make the majority of the decisions based on the people represented in a geographical area. This allows for the people to directly hold their representative accountable for their actions and votes. The national government would be in charge of national defense, national currency, post offices and roads. Period. And what is the national government defending? Our freedoms and rights as individual members of our society. Protecting our right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

We are ready to hear from Ron Paul because America has seen that their wants and needs are not being represented in their own government. We have turned around and realized that our power has been ripped from our hands and given to the government. Its the government's job to represent us, not to do what THEY think is best for the country.

America is ready to revert back to the ability to voice their opinion and hold their representatives accountable.

America is ready for Ron Paul.
