I started following Dr. Ron Paul midway through high school during his 2007 primary campaign. His espoused ideas are a cornerstone of my political leaning and they have profoundly impacted me as a person. Watching Dr. Paul's rallies moved me, so much so, that when I visited grandparents in Arizona during his 2012 campaign, I put a large sign with his face at a busy intersection.
I am a regular listener to Dr. Paul's podcast with fine co-hosts Chris Rosinni and Daniel McAdams. Whenever I listen, I am reminded, "Ah yes, it really can be that simple". Listeners will hear discussion about what is grabbing the headlines, what the problems are, and solutions that could mitigate those problems. Positive matters are given brief attention, but I wouldn't mind hearing more stories of localities making victorious breakthroughs for freedom as demonstrative examples.
Here's to small government and freedom! God bless the Paul family.
