Product Description
This Much Is True: You Have Been Lied To.
- The government is expanding.
- Taxes are increasing.
- More senseless wars are being planned.
- Inflation is ballooning.
- Our basic freedoms are disappearing.
The Founding Fathers didn't want any of this. In fact, they said so quite clearly in the Constitution of the United States of America. Unfortunately, that beautiful, ingenious, and revolutionary document is being ignored more and more in Washington. If we are to enjoy peace, freedom, and prosperity once again, we absolutely must return to the principles upon which America was founded. But finally, there is hope . . .
In THE REVOLUTION,Texas congressman and presidential candidate Ron Paul has exposed the core truths behind everything threatening America, from the real reasons behind the collapse of the dollar and the looming financial crisis, to terrorism and the loss of our precious civil liberties. In this book, Ron Paul provides answers to questions that few even dare to ask.
Despite a media blackout, this septuagenarian physician-turned-congressman sparked a movement that has attracted a legion of young, dedicated, enthusiastic supporters . . . a phenomenon that has amazed veteran political observers and made more than one political rival envious. Candidates across America are already running as "Ron Paul Republicans."
"Dr. Paul cured my apathy," says a popular campaign sign. THE REVOLUTION may cure yours as well.

Ron Paul: Back To The Future May 13, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
The "Pro Life Republican Party" continues to embrace the same old failed strategy of waiting until a Supreme Court Justice dies or retires in order to appoint pro-life Judges to overturn Roe v. Wade.
There is one exception. The Champion of the Constitution, a 10 term Republican Congressman from Texas, Doctor Ron Paul! As a medical doctor, he has delivered over 4000 babies.
Congressman Paul has repeatedly introduced "sanctity of life" legislation in Congress. His bill essentially declares unborn children have rights. The 50 States would be required to implement the new law which would invoke Congress's Article III authority to deny any Federal Court interference. It is an alternative and Constitutional solution for one of the Republican Party's major policy positions.
Congressman Paul's legislation has been ignored. As President, people might listen!
IT'S THE ECONOMY... STUPID
During his 20 years in Congress, Ron Paul has served on the House Banking committee; He has been a key member of the Gold Commission. Currently, he is a vice-chairman on the House Financial Services Committee, he is a member of the Joint Economic Committee, and he serves on the International Relations Committee.
Dr. Paul is the author of several books and countless articles on economics. He has been a distinguished counselor to the Ludwig von Mises Institute of Economics. And is widely quoted by scholars and writers in the fields of monetary policy, banking and economics.
He has received many awards from organizations such as the National Taxpayers Union, Citizens Against Government Waste and the Council for a Competitive Economy.
Ron Paul knows economics!
He is the only Presidential Candidate who wants to fundamentally change the disastrous policy which allows the privately owned Federal Reserve Bank to charge Taxpayers interest on money it creates out of thin air. Washington Politicians take this money, ignore their oath of office and give it to every type of special interest group imaginable. This debases the currency, creates inflation, and robs Americans of their wealth.
Ron Paul would end the folly of subsidizing the world with trillions of dollars of "foreign aid." This would cut spending and stimulate the economy more than any of the other Candidates wildest dreams.
DO UNTO OTHERS
Ron Paul's detractors call him an isolationist because he wants our Federal Government to heed the advice of our Founders and stop meddling with the internal affairs of other countries.
What would we think if China had a military base here in Florida? What if Iran's Navy was constantly patrolling in the Gulf of Mexico? What if Pakistan was openly seeking to influence our elections? Our Federal Government's interventionist foreign policy and recent acceptance of preemptive war inspires hatred and terrorism against us. As a nation, we need to understand this or we will never even begin to solve the problem of terrorism.
RON PAUL CAN WIN!
Ron Paul's foreign policy position of no nation building and no sending brave young Americans into harms way overseas to police the world is the same position that won George W. Bush the Republican nomination and the Presidency in the 2000 election. It is the only position with any potential of drawing the bipartisan and independent support needed to win in the general election.
While Americans were throwing Republicans out of office in droves in 2006, Congressman Paul received over 60% of the vote in his district.
According to the Federal Election Commission, active military donate more to Ron Paul than any other Republican. His record breaking 4th quarter fundraising of nearly $20 million leads the GOP and puts him on par with the leading Democrats.
Ron Paul is a Veteran, a Medical Doctor and married over 50 years to his wife Carol. He has 5 grown children and 18 grand children. In his 20 years in Congress, Ron Paul has amassed one of the most conservative and Constitutionally compliant voting records in American history. The man is a modern day Founding Father. The lobbyist call him "Dr. No" because special interest groups can never get any of our money out of him.
He is pro-life, strong on National defense, and gun owners have no better friend in Congress. He wants to cut taxes, cut spending, and secure the borders. He is a true Conservative. A REAL Republican who's rock solid record stands head and shoulders above any of the other Candidates.
PRESIDENT PAUL
Year after year, administration after administration, Republican or Democrat; nothing seems to be able to stop the unrelenting growth of government. Every time government expands, Americans must sacrifice more of our wealth and more of our freedoms.
The moment Ron Paul becomes President, the era of big Government in Washington is over!!!
President Paul would usher in a return to the Constitutional principles of limited government, just taxation, fiscal responsibility, sound money, free market trade, individual liberty and strong national defense.
Freedom, peace and prosperity is Ron Paul's campaign message. He wants to get rid of the income tax, abolish the IRS, end the Federal Reserve monopoly and he's serious as a heart attack. Let's get back to the future; Back to the Constitution.
Vote Ron Paul! Thank You.

I wish everyone in America could read this book. It lays out why people are so tired of our government and what has to happen to get our liberties back. He explains the constitution, the economy and the money system in plain language and why it has to be fixed. Enjoyable and very readable. Thank you Ron Paul!
The Truth About Liberty May 13, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Ron Paul takes on the big issues that other politicians are scared to address - government spending, civil liberties, inflation, and foreign policy among others. Those who follow Ron Paul already know his positions on these issues and will no doubt be impressed with this work. However, for those who are new to the traditional American ideas of liberty that Ron Paul rigorously defends, this book may have the greatest value. This is the audience that will most appreciate the clear and concise presentation of these new, yet well founded, concepts.
Ron Paul provides a tireless defense of traditional American principles, which are derived in liberty, private property, and non-aggression. The book allows Dr. Paul to expand on the issues that he has pushed during the 2008 Presidential election. Those who are skeptical of his foreign policy for instance, will find a thoroughly defended argument for noninterventionism as the optimal foreign policy for peace and prosperity.
This book is concise enough to make it easy to read and accessible for those not familiar with these ideas. The reading list at the end gives the reader a chance to explore these ideas more in depth if they wish. The reading list also shows that Dr. Paul's ideas were not fabricated from his mind alone. These arguments are well established in history, especially among the founders of this country. Much of these ideas also originate from the great works of Austrian Economist such as Ludwig von Mises, Henry Hazlitt, Friedrich Hayek, and Murray Rothbard.
This book is a worthwhile read for any audience. The Ron Paul fanatics will thoroughly enjoy hearing his positions defended with logic and clarity. Those with an interest in politics, philosophy, or economics will find this manifesto of liberty to be intellectually stimulating and thought provoking. For those who want to learn more, this is the perfect introduction to libertarian and traditional American principles.
Bravo!
CURE ! ! ! For AMERICA May 13, 2008

Far more than just a Ron Paul legacy. This book, written by such a humble person, brings hope of a miracle cure for a dying nation - America. Great book! Great ideas! Major media has perverted our politics and yet this book will be a beacon of good and great that out does the media wrongs.
A must read! The world needs to read this!
 Inspired as always but left with a few questions. May 13, 2008

I have been following and supporting Dr Paul for almost a year now and am continued to be inspired and motivated by his integrity and devotion to the consitution. I have only given four stars however as it really never hit the ball out the park for me. I would give 5 stars for the first and last chapters as they really stirred up the emotions like so many of his speeches have. I would have liked to have read more about the practical applications and implementation of these radical changes. (I mean radical from the present policies). I feel that perhaps because there was no real elaboration of how these 'U-turns' and return to basic and founding principles would be achieved he may just have left him self open to the Naysayers and Critics of his platfom. I feel very passionate about his views and support him 100% however I am the first to admit that some fellow Ron Paulites have the tendancy to get carried away and would give 5 stars regardless of this books content. The reality of a Ron Paul America would no doubt encounter many problems of its own and no system is perfect. I sure would like to give it a chance.
In short..well,the book was too short!..I never bore of reading or watching him. And while the book was itself by intention meant to represent a Manifesto I would just have liked to had a bit more. Perhaps his next one that I will look forward to really will knock it out the park and truly deserve a 5 star Merit.
We love you Dr Paul.....
