Ron Paul Kicks van Campagne voor Vrijheid
Door Barbara L. Minton | Herinner Ron Paul, de kandidaat die verslaggevers, de linkerzijde en het recht door om over de echte kwesties ergerde te proberen te spreken die Amerikanen onder ogen zien tijdens het debat van de presidentiële mededinger? Hoewel hij zeer kleine media dekking ongeacht spot krijgt, is hij nog rond en proberend om Amerikanen ertoe te brengen om tot de bedreiging voor hun vrijheid te wekken die door de krachten achter globalisering wordt voorgesteld. Zijn recentste initiatief is de Campagne voor Vrijheid, die wordt gepland om weg bij de Verzameling voor de Republiek in Minneapolis vanaf 31 Augustus aan 2 te schoppen September.
De campagne zal de grootste organisatie voor vrede zijn, vrijheid, de Grondwet, en correct geld in Amerikaanse geschiedenis. Het zal op grote manier met veel speciale gasten, beroemdheden en media aandacht lanceren. De kaartjes aan de driedaagse Verzameling voor de gebeurtenis van de Republiek verkopen voor reeds snel patriotic $17.76.
De opdracht van de Campagne voor Vrijheid als verklaard moet de grote Amerikaanse principes bevorderen en verdedigen van individuele vrijheid, constitutionele overheid, correct geld, vrije markten, en noninterventionist buitenlands beleid, door middel van onderwijs en politieke activiteit.
Het volgende is de verklaring van principes voor de Campagne voor Vrijheid. Deze verklaring vormt een weerspiegeling welbespraakt van wat Ron Paul geprobeerd om ons tijdens de debatten te vertellen maar niet werd toegestaan aan door de belangrijkste stroommedia:
Amerikanen erven van hun voorvaderen een glorious traditie van vrijheid en weerstand tegen onderdrukking. Ons land is lang bewonderd door de rest van de wereld haar grote bijvoorbeeld van vrijheid en welvaart - - een licht glanzend in de duisternis van tirannie.
Maar vele Amerikanen vandaag zijn gefrustreerd. De politieke keuzen zij worden aangeboden geven hen geen echte keus bij allen. Voor al hun bespreking van „verandering“, geen van beiden belangrijke politieke partij als weldra gevormde uitdagingen de status-quo in om het even welke ernstige manier. Geen van beiden behandelt de Grondwet met om het even wat maar contempt. Geen van beiden biedt om het even welk soort verandering in monetair beleid aan. Geen van beiden wil de verminderingen van overheid maken die onze verpletterende schuldenlast eist. Geen van beide besprekingen over niet alleen het brengen van Amerikaans troepenhuis van Irak maar van rond de wereld. Ons land gaat failliet, en geen van deze zinnige voorstellen is zelfs op de lijst.
De vernietigende tweeledige consensus heeft het Amerikaanse politieke leven vele jaren verstikt. Anyone who tries to ask fundamental questions instead of cosmetic ones is ridiculed or ignored.
The U.S. Constitution is at the heart of what the Campaign for Liberty stands for, since the very least we can demand of our government is fidelity to its own governing document. Claims that our Constitution was meant to be a “living document” that judges may interpret as they please are fraudulent, incompatible with republican government, and without foundation in the constitutional text or the thinking of the framers. Thomas Jefferson spoke of binding our rulers down from mischief by the chains of the Constitution, and we are proud to follow in his distinguished lineage.
With our Founding Fathers, we also believe in a noninterventionist foreign policy. Inspired by the old Robert Taft wing of the Republican Party, we are convinced that the American people cannot remain free and prosperous with 700 military bases around the world, troops in 130 countries, and a steady diet of war propaganda. Our military overstretch is undermining our national defense and bankrupting our country.
We believe that the free market, reviled by people who do not understand it, is the most just and human economic system and the greatest engine of prosperity the world has ever known.
We believe with Ludwig von Mises, Henry Hazlitt, and F.A. Hayek that central banking distorts economic decision making and misleads entrepreneurs into making unsound investments. Hayek won the Nobel Prize for showing how central banks’ interference with interest rates sets the stage for economic downturns. And the central bank’s ability to create money out of thin air transfers wealth from the most vulnerable to those with political pull, since it is the latter who receive the new money before the price increases it brings in its wake have yet occurred. For economic and moral reasons, therefore, we join the great twentieth-century economists in opposing the Federal Reserve System, which has reduced the value of the dollar by 95 percent since it began in 1913.
We oppose the dehumanizing assumption that all issues that divide us must be settled at the federal level and forced on every American community, whether by activist judges, a power-hungry executive, or a meddling Congress. We believe in the humane alternative of local self-government, as called for in our Constitution.
We oppose the transfer for American sovereignty to supranational organizations in which the American people possess no elected representatives. Such compromises of our country’s independence run counter to the principles of the American Revolution, which was fought on behalf of self-government and local control. Most of these organizations have a terrible track record even on their own terms: how much poverty have the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund actually alleviated, for example? The peoples of the world can interact with each other just fine in the absence of bureaucratic intermediaries that undermine their sovereignty.
We believe that freedom is an indivisible whole, and that it includes not only economic liberty but civil liberties and privacy rights as well, all of which are historic rights that our civilization has cherished from time immemorial.
Our stances on other issues can be deduced from these general principles.
Our country is ailing. This is the bad news. The good news is that the remedy is so simple and attractive: a return to the principles our Founders taught us. Respect for the Constitution, the rule of law, individual liberty, sound money, and a noninterventionist foreign policy constitute the foundation of the Campaign for Liberty.
