I agree with Ron Paul's vote in every single instance, each either a pointless exercise in grandstanding or clearly outside the authority of Congress or the Federal Govt. Each member could chip in $75 apiece to get those medals privately minted. I'd rather use a spam filter and keep the First Amendment, thank you. Paul totally nailed it on the Financial Anti-Terrorism Act, which treats us all like we're terrorists. And telling the Arab States to combat genocide after we've slaughtered two million Iraqis since 1991 would be downright laughable, except no one in the Arab world is laughing. Thank God for Ron Paul. He's only a maverick because his colleagues are so craven and cowardly.

Ron Paul is right on with all those votes especially the spam act. Ron Paul is the biggest supporter and he votes against any intervention of government on the internet. Ron Paul is also against "net neutrality" which is another attempt by government to regulate the internet.

Well as a leftwinger who supports Ron Paul I don't agree with everything he says. Remember though he votes on principle not on public opinion. Out of all the candidates Ron cannot be percieved as pandering or flip-flopping. I have found however that if he explains his positions even a liberal like me can understand and be persuaded. Abortion is the perfect example. I have always deluded myself that the soul of the baby only exists after birth. Pauls example of how killing one minute prenatal is legal but one minute after is murder. How can you argue with that logic? This election will make people choose whether they are statist & imperialist or whether they are individualist and a citizen of a republic. This is not about parties and therefore bipartisanship. Peace.

Re: Rosa Parks: It would have been good if you included the fact that Ron offered to pay $100 of his *own* money to fund the medal, which could have been covered if Congresspeople would have matched his contribution.

That makes a HUGE difference. He opposes the medal because it's not in the Constitution, but is happy to recognize Parks (and Ronald Reagan, and others) with money from his *own* pocket, rather than from the pockets of taxpayers.

I think it was important for you to include that...
