Who
Would the
World elect?
Ron Paul!
A great indictment of Globalism and the NWO.
This weblog is created by private citizens in the Ozark region supporting Ron Paul's Campaign For Liberty... An effort to help elect more pro-liberty candidates to public office all over the country.
It is a genuine grassroots community effort, part of the OzarksVoter.info project.

Update! We Gave Ron a $1M Boost!
Ron Paul's "Revolution" is working wonders, and far exceeding even the most optimistic expectations...
In a little under a week, we helped raise OVER ONE MILLION DOLLARS in "small" contributions.
Other campaigns can only dream of having an army of grassroots volunteers like us. No modesty necessary here... All who contributed to Ron Paul can take great satisfaction in what we've accomplished in the past quarter, and especially in the last week.
THANK YOU and CONGRATULATIONS to all that donated!

Ron Paul Leads Rivals in Military Donations
"Among GOP candidates, Ron Paul, the only Republican who opposes the war, has brought in the biggest haul from the military since the start of the 2008 election cycle in January—at least $19,250. Republican John McCain, a Vietnam War prisoner who backs the administration's policy in Iraq, has raised $18,600. Paul, who was a flight surgeon in the Air Force, got nearly twice as much from servicemen and women in the campaign's first six months as GOP fundraising front-runner Mitt Romney and four times more than better-known candidate Rudy Giuliani.
"If you're a Republican partisan, but opposed to the war, it is not surprising that you'd find Paul somewhat attractive," said Ronald Krebs, a political scientist at the University of Minnesota who studies the sociology of war and military service."

Unconstitutional Legislation Threatens Freedoms
by
Rep. Ron Paul
Last week, the House of Representatives acted with disdain for the Constitution and individual liberty by passing HR 1592, a bill creating new federal programs to combat so-called “hate crimes.” The legislation defines a hate crime as an act of violence committed against an individual because of the victim’s race, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, or disability. Federal hate crime laws violate the Tenth Amendment’s limitations on federal power. Hate crime laws may also violate the First Amendment guaranteed freedom of speech and religion by criminalizing speech federal bureaucrats define as “hateful.”

Arkansas Readers: Beware of the Benton County Nuisance Ordinance
Benton County Nuisance Ordinance:
Whether or not you agree with the purpose of this ordinance, you should read it over. It appears to be poorly written and likely to have many un-intended consequences.
"most residents even if in favor of some type of ordinance, counseled that the county take it's time and re-write the ordinance into a clear concise document that addresses real, existing problems. They did not want a wide open document such as the existing one under which anything could be declared a nuisance and which would escalate feuds between neighbors."

What Does Ron Paul Stand For?
I suppose that many people, perhaps even the majority of Ozarkers, don’t know who Congressman Ron Paul is. Getting his name out there is the biggest hurdle we have to face.
Once people find out about Dr. Paul; that he is running for president in the Republican primaries and that he can indeed win, they naturally are interested to know what he stands for.
Well, where to begin? Dr. Paul’s stances are so extensive and sincere, that they appeal to a diverse assortment of individuals.
One can say that Dr. Paul is a strict Constitutionalist. Ordinary Americans like you and I are in usually in favor of the Constitution even though they almost always vote against it in general elections.
But let us be more detailed. As a strict Constitutionalist, Dr. Paul is not inhibited by a desire to engage in meaningless partisan politics. The bills he introduces are for the benefit of the American people.
Dr. Paul is always there to ask that age-old question, “Why not Liberty?” when no one else will.
The bills he sponsors were created to benefit ordinary Americans, small businessmen and women, farmers, parents, churches.
We should acquaint ourselves with each and every one of Dr. Paul’s positions, because the queries will only increase over the next few months as tensions begin to mount in the primaries.
Here, Jennifer Haman reveals some of Dr. Paul’s “secret views.”
An Excerpt:
Ron Paul offers truth. Did you know that it is illegal for a dietary supplement company to make a true statement about its products because the big pharmaceuticals want all your business and cannot stand the thought of you taking a cheap herbal remedy? Ron Paul introduced the Health Freedom Protection Act so that the FDA cannot stand in your way of hearing truthful claims about the benefits of foods and dietary supplements. Ron Paul offers hope to your family over the profits of huge companies. Yes, you can have someone on your side.
Did you know that emergency rooms are going out of business because of legislation passed by Congress? Under the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA) physicians who work in emergency rooms are required to provide care, regardless of a person's ability to pay, to anyone who comes into an emergency room. Hospitals are also required by law to bear the full costs of providing free care to anyone who seeks emergency care. Thus, EMTALA forces medical professionals and hospitals to bear the entire cost of caring for the indigent. Many institutions simply cannot afford the strain. Ron Paul seeks to offset those costs with tax credits to physicians with a new bill he introduced.
Ron Paul offers freedom to churches to exercise their freedom of speech in the political arena. Did you know that the IRS has sent notices to more than 15,000 non-profit organizations – including churches – regarding its new crackdown on political activity? Ron Paul writes: "We cannot allow churches to be silenced any more than we can allow political dissent in general to be silenced." "The Constitution's guarantee of religious freedom must not depend on the whims of IRS bureaucrats." You don't have to go it alone; you can have a candidate who fights for you.
Ron Paul also fights for a parent's right to raise their child the way they see fit and to make their own decisions about whether to medicate away their child’s behavior. The government wants to take that choice away from you. The government is calling for the mandatory mental health screening of American schoolchildren, meaning millions of kids will be forced to undergo psychiatric screening whether their parents consent or not. Ron Paul introduced an amendment to eliminate any funding for the proposal. He also introduced a bill that forbids federal funds from being used for any mental-health screening of students without the express, written, voluntary, informed consent of their parents. The bill is known as "The Parental Consent Act of 2005," or HR 181. Ron Paul will fight the government as it tries to take over the most basic of rights: the right to raise your child.
As far as the working man is concerned, Ron Paul also wants to help out there. He wants to get rid of the Income tax. I hear all the time: that is not practical, that is not possible, and we need the income tax. I say okay, but would you like it if the Income Tax was gone? The answer is always yes. Well, you can have what you want. Under Ron Paul's plan, we only need to return to the spending levels of the year 2000 to be able to eliminate the Income tax. In fact, the Income tax is only one of many, many different taxes and tariffs that the government seizes to collect money and without this one particular tax, the government can run just fine. So, you see, you can have what you want. You really can have freedom. If you truly want to keep your whole paycheck, what is stopping you? All you need to do is vote for Ron Paul.
Do you think your medical information should be kept private? Yes? So does Ron Paul. The government on the other hand disagrees. Under a bill passed a few years ago, rather than protecting the individual’s right to medical privacy, the government issued regulations empowering government officials to determine how much medical privacy an individual "needs.'' The regulations also require health care providers to give medical records to the federal government for inclusion in a federal health care database. Ron Paul fought that for you and introduced the Patient Privacy Act to repeal these threats to patient privacy and provide quality health care. Yes, it is possible to get Big Brother off your back and out of your most private and intimate issues. Again, all you have to do is vote for Ron Paul.

Celebrating Constitution Day
We took to the streets on Monday, Sept. 17th to celebrate our Constitutional freedoms with Ron Paul!
Several THOUSAND motorists saw Ron Paul's name during that evening rush 2-hour "Roadside Rally" - it was a HUGE success!
Take a look at the short "music video" we made of the Roadside Rally.
As usual, the overwhelming majority of responses were positive... A lot of people honked their horns and waved or gave a big "thumbs-up" to show their support.
There were only 4 negative responses from passers-by, mostly just frowning and shaking their heads "no" for whatever reason... But one of the really good and interesting things that happened was the HUGE percentage of big-rig truckers that waved and honked their support. (Over 50% of the trucks, at least.) Apparently, more of our American citizen-truckers are realizing that only Ron Paul will protect their jobs and our roads from the cheap and dangerous foreign semi-trucks and drivers that practically all the other candidates are unwilling to put a stop to!
The video is already getting a lot of views and very positive comments on YouTube. Even though this was very roughly shot (no tripods) and a hastily edited video - people seem to appreciate the message and are taking the idea to heart, planning their own local Roadside Rallies for Ron Paul. That's what we're here for... Getting the word out about Ron Paul and getting this good man elected President!
The Ron Paul support song: "Choose Liberty" was provided courtesy of Steve Dore.

(Thanks for all you do, Steve!)
And many thanks to all those that participated in this event. From the sign-making session on Sunday afternoon at Rocky Comfort, Missouri - to the actual sign-waving at the "Roadside Rally" - we're thankful you all took part in this event, and look forward to doing more just like it!
