I just read this in a comment section of the Ron Paul website.
I know your busy but am very interested in your thoughts.

Thanks’

We need a “bailout from the bottom up”, please take the time to read this information:

Who then gets “relief”? I say mandate legal authority to automatically lower all loans of record upon any, and all property in the United States of America, whether they were originated by banks, or private entities, to a 5-year 1% interest rate, fully amortized for 30 years, then go to a fixed 4% interest rate years 6 through 30.

If the loans have shorter than a 5-year time-frame, then they are by law extended to 5-years.

Privately issued loans can receive financial compensation for loss of income, clearly less expensive then the ignorance of the current Hank Paulson’s et. al. plans. Also, immediately bringing money to solve our financial crisis from the “bottom up”, instead of having the criminals bail out themselves, leaving all of us the bill to pay going forward.

This itself, this one mandate lawfully implemented will stop, right now, “STOP” all this nonsense we are all going through.
You will immediately hear a giant sigh of relief from the entire United States citizenry.

An excellent financial aid formula can be calculated to give the same financial benefits to renters, and because landlords would be given the 1% interest rate, they too can be part of the financial incentive given to renters.

For example; a renter is paying $1,500 per month for their home needs, the financial aid would be at least $750 per month direct to the renter.

This is so easy to implement, the “red tape” of all the individual circumstances is eliminated immediately.
Within 90 days this would be in full force throughout the United States. Our computerized county records throughout the United States, complete, and exact as to who is the owner(s), and the loan holder(s) on each property.

Our nations’ ability to again support our infrastructure needs will immediately begin. The local stores, restaurants, sports, and entertainment industry will be again robust. All this will lead to jobs, jobs, and then even more jobs.

We then can focus our attention to the removal of “The Money Masters”, The Federal Reserve itself, specifically, Alan Greenspan is indeed a fool exposed, as a complete “tool” of the corrupt system, and of course the elimination of the IRS.

Then, as a nation, we can debate, and vote on any, and all political ideas. Within a free, Republican form of Government.

When asked what form of Goverment we have, most automatically answer a “Democracy”, then asked to say the Pledge of Alligence to the Flag, they recite; “I pledge alligence to the Flag, of the United States of America, and to the REPUBLIC (!) , for which it stands, one nation under God, with liberty, and justice for all.”

This a great nation we have, moments from now, we can accept the criminals solutions, or we can discard the criminals, arrest them, subject them to lawful trials, and render judgement peacefully.

I for one choose PEACE. I support Ron Paul because he supports my beliefs in the good of our nation, supported by the Constitution in place.Reply | Quote

I’m not from your district, or even from NC (I’m originally from Long Island, NY and live in the Maryland suburbs of DC now as I’m attending law school in DC), but I have been following your campaign with a very close eye. During the spring and summer I interned for a Congressional Committee, on the Republican staff. I had no idea how out of touch the Republican Party really had become until working there…the blatant disrespect for civil liberties and the disregard of good, fiscal conservatism was simply apalling. I can’t tell you how refreshing it has been to know that their are still people like you and Dr. Paul in this party, who are unafraid to stand up against both the liberal Democrats and neo-con Republicans. It may feel lonely at times, but I have faith that the tides of history are on our side. Good luck for the home stretch, we need more people like you up here!

Take care,
Cole

In North Carolina, however, we have a disturbing trend of folks using service in our state government as a stepping stone to incarceration. In that sort of environment that breeds corruption, perhaps direct election is preferable. Will have to think about that.

In my opinion, the bottom line is that we need more principled people in government, at every level.

Briefly:

d. Gay rights?

Again, I believe that rights belong to individuals, not groups. I support protection of every individual’s unalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. These rights include the freedom of association, including any state-enforced contractual association with whomever they wish. I will oppose any attempt by Congress to define marriage.

1) We need monetary freedom, and monetary choice. The Federal Reserve is on a course to abolish itself with the increasing pressure on its balance sheet and the solvency of our banking system: http://www.lawsonforcongress.com/issues/rising-prices/

2) We started a company called MercuryMD, now part of Thomson Healthcare: http://clinical.thomsonhealthcare.com/

Software technology has matured a lot since we started the company in 2000. In the early days, it was Microsoft Visual Basic, C/C++, and Oracle. We gradually transitioned to Java, C++, Oracle, and a fantastically agile language called Ruby. If you’re looking for a relatively simple and lightweight Web development framework, check out Ruby on Rails:

I am a 22 year old from Des Moines, Iowa. I am also a supporter of yours.

It looks like you are getting a lot of response in this comment section. So I will make my questions quick and concise.

1) What are your ideas about changing our current form of federal currency? Do we abolish the Federal Reserve and go specifically to a gold standard? Do we do this, or do we do that? What is your idea of an up-to-date, free-market, liberty-wise monetary policy?

2) You mention starting a medical software company as your eye-opener to monetary policy. What sort of software technology were you using? I am a newcomer to software and web development and am interested in what you were doing while starting/having a software company.

I understand if you may be overwhelmed. I am not even a constituent, so I will not be bothered if you need to answer more “pressing” questions.

Thanks, and good luck,
Cole Groff

P.S. B.J. for president someday?

However, I’m curious to know what your thoughts on LGBT rights are. Could you let me know?

Thanks, and keep up the good work.

You’re running a principled campaign and we’re proud of you for your constitutional principles. I’ve run into a lot of lawyers who contend that the constitution is too small a document to cover the needs of the country (read government). The arguement is that the chains aren’t large enough to bind them down on everything. What is the intellectual (yet tactful) counter arguement? Thank you for all you’re doing. Hopefully the country gets to experience you and we find more statesment like you.

Is there a way to track the polling on this district? I’m eager to see what kind of dent the principles of liberty are making in the incumbant partisan machine. Great performance in the debate!
