THANK YOU, RON PAUL! The American Freedom Agenda Act
by Christine Smith

I was so pleased to see Ron Paul introduce the 'American Freedom Agenda Act' to Congress, and I urge everyone to tell their representatives to co-sponsor it.

This bill is what America is about...restoring basic American principles ensuring protection from government abuse. Now, more than ever in our history, we must do something to halt tyrannical dictatorial powers and all government abuses (such as suspension of habeas corpus). In my opinion, we've got an executive branch that's out of control - no checks and balances to speak of - and now is the time to stop the downward spiral our government is taking our country on.

The foundation of liberty we value is eliminated when the executive has the power of indefinite imprisonment, Pentagon/military tribunals, and torture. If the fundamental cornerstone of liberty continues to be eroded and stripped away, our future as a nation is indeed bleak.

Justice is being mocked as the government uses the tactic of fear to encourage the American people to give up civil liberties in the name of 'security'...but Ron Paul is standing up, once again, for our liberty.

This is not a partisan issue. It is and must be recognized as the most important issue of our day by every American.

I ask everyone to read HR 3835 IH:

and to then contact their representatives asking them to co-sponsor it. You can easily do so through websites (just search 'American Freedom Pledge' to find websites which help you efficiently contact your representatives about this bill.)

We must not give up our rights and freedoms.

Our future - our peace - our liberty and thereby every expression of freedom we cherish is what is at stake.

I signed the American Freedom Pledge on March 20, 2007 (for details please visit http://christinesmithforpresident.com/cblog/index.php?/archives/22-The-American-Freedom-Agenda-The-Freedom-Pledge.html ).

Ron Paul concluded his speech introducing this Bill on Oct. 15, 2007 by saying, 'I invite my colleagues to join my efforts to restore the U.S. Constitution by enacting the American Freedom Agenda Act of 2007,' and it is up to us to voice our opinions to our representatives to let them we want them to support Dr. Paul because his Bill represents what we as Americans want to restore and preserve: our liberty.

Thank you, Ron Paul, for again having the courage to say it like it is...to challenge the corrupt status quo...to fight for the true American principles.
