The Revolution: A Manifesto

This book is a perfect introduction to Ron Paul and what he stands for. I would suggest this book to anyone of any age that is curious about his message.

Those already familiar will also enjoy this book, as you learn a bit more about what lead him to his message and what books and writers influenced him. I can't wait to start working my way through his list of suggested books at the end!

Should be required school reading and found in every public library! Maybe every elected official and ALL public sevants should be required to read it as well as the Constitution.

We are coming full circle back to our roots... and the wisdom of the Founding Fathers in Ron Paul's new book. He explains simple, concise measures we must take to save this republic, and stop the insanity a small minority of so-called "leaders" have imposed. Only corrupt, blind politicians and others will find this book distasteful. Read it and join the Revolution.

Ron Paul never ceases to amaze me. His writing is down to Earth and tell of what must be done to fix this great country of ours.

It's not the "change" Obama has been peddling for the last year, which will no doubt result in more of the same: More wars, more government interventions overseas and at home, and a continuation of our descent into a full-fledged police state.

Dr. Paul's prescription is desperately needed, and he spells it out plainly and coherently in this short but informative book. In short, we must revert to what our founders bequeathed to us: a constitutional republic, where the individual is sovereign and the government is the servant, not the master. Its powers are enumerated, and thus limited. Dr. Paul contrasts what was intended with what we have today, and the results are not pretty.

The welfare state? It must end, but he recognizes that it cannot happen overnight. The entightlement programs are not sustainable. Those who have become dependent need to be weaned off. The younger generations should be able to opt out. Being forced to pay for the lifestyle of others is tyrannical and is incompatible with a free society. You won't hear this message from Hillary, Obama or McCain.

The warfare state? It is an albatross that weakens us militarily and financially, and has made us less safe. Our foreign policy is the terrorist's most effective recruiting tool! We've allowed ourselves to become an empire, and a bullying one at that. All empires end. Paul asks us if we'd rather end it on our own terms or have it done for us through an economic collapse.

The least understood plank in his blueprint is that of monetary policy. He explains in layman terms how the Federal Reserve creates credit, devalues our currency, induces asset bubbles, and how all of this robs us of our wealth for the benefit of a select few. If you can read this chapter and not become enraged at how the bankers and politicians are literally ripping us off, you need to have your pulse checked.

Buy this book. Read it. Order extra copies for friends and family. Spread the word. Our country is running out of time to do something before the house of cards comes tumbling down.
