Subscribe to RSSThe Florida presidential primary is on.
Voting is already well under way even though Florida doesn't hold its GOP nominating contest until Jan. 31. And both Mitt Romney, coming off of back-to-back victories in Iowa and New Hampshire, and Ron Paul are aggressively reaching out to voters who have requested ballots.
None of their competitors has been nearly as active even though the victor in Florida would get a huge boost of momentum and all of the state's 50 delegates to the national nominating convention.
As of Tuesday, 424,000 Republican absentee ballots had been mailed — to military personnel, overseas residents and other Floridians — and about 84,000 had been returned in a state that has 4 million registered Republican voters. Early voting in Hillsborough, Hardy, Hendry, Monroe and Collier counties begins Monday and runs through Jan. 29. Florida's other 62 counties will hold early voting Jan. 21-28.
Republican insiders expect as many as a third of the GOP ballots to be cast early in the effort to choose a nominee to oppose President Barack Obama.
"It's pointing towards record turnout," said state GOP spokesman Brian Hughes, adding that the number of Republican absentee ballots requested is more than 200,000 ahead of the 2008 pace at the same point before the election. "We're seeing an enthusiasm not only around being involved in picking our nominee, but beyond that, making sure we beat Obama."
Of all the candidates, Romney had the biggest jump on early voters, who started receiving ballots before he notched his first win at the Jan. 3 Iowa caucuses.
The former Massachusetts governor's campaign is better organized in Florida than any other. And it immediately sent out literature to court voters as soon as ballots were sent in December. That meant some people opened their mailboxes to find both a ballot and an appeal from Romney.
At the same time, an outside group supportive of Romney — the Restore Our Future super PAC — went on the air with TV ads backing him in mid-December, the ads timed to coincide with the delivery of ballots. It has spent more than $750,000 on TV ads.
Romney himself went on the air just after the first of the year. He's spent roughly $800,000 on TV ads so far. No other campaign or candidate-aligned super PAC is on the air.
"Even as Iowa was beginning to heat up, we were already messaging absentee voters in Florida," said Brett Doster, a Tallahassee-based Romney aide. "There were already votes being cast and I can assure you that they got Romney messaging and it looks like they weren't getting any messaging from anyone else."
That was true until Texas Rep. Ron Paul's campaign recently got in the game and sent out its own literature. Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich's campaign planned to start doing the same this week, adding to efforts by its volunteers — and automated calls — to encourage early voting.
Texas Gov. Rick Perry's campaign also has asked volunteers to make calls and has paid for automated calls. Former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman and former Pennsylvania Sen. Santorum have done little to woo early voters.
Elizabeth Pike, a 71-year-old retiree from Pompano Beach, is among those who already have voted. She cast her absentee ballot for Gingrich — but not because she was courted by the campaign.
"He was speaker of the House. When he wanted to get something through, he was very successful," said Pike. "He can speak well and he could represent us well."
In 2008, about 554,000 absentee ballots were cast overall among nearly 1.2 million early votes cast, but the number of Democratic ballots requested this year is far lower, since Obama doesn't have a primary challenger.
This year, the ballots aren't being returned nearly as quickly as they're going out.
Orange County elections supervisor Bill Cowles said he thinks many voters have been waiting to see what happens in other early states before making up their minds.
Part of that may be to make sure their preferred candidate doesn't drop out before Florida votes.
Seminole County elections supervisor Michael Ertel said he remembers receiving a lot of calls when Republican Fred Thompson dropped out of the 2008 race a week before Florida voted. They wanted to know if they could have their ballot back and vote again. They were out of luck.
"Once you've cast your absentee ballot," Ertel said, "you've cast your ballot."

It's hilarious that Speaker of the House Gingrich "created" jobs under Clintons watch. So does that mean that Tip O'Neall gets the credit under Reagan? I wonder if Boehner will take the same credit under Obamas watch if/when he runs someday.
I guess it won't matter much once ALL of our freedoms have been taken away.
RON PAUL 2012!
RON PAUL 2012! Anyone else, and we will see change with no hope of keeping this country intact.Any one else and it's pledge allegiance to the flag of the North American Union. Why do you think that neither party is interested in securing our, yes OUR borders?
I would LOVE to see Ron Paul's policies in the White House, To bad Ron Paul does not back his own policies and never has, They are no more than a gimmick to get votes to him while he goes about his own work of destroying the economy in his own district in Texas turning it into a Welfare/Federal Aid sinkhole.
Wake up and look at his record and quit listening to his speechs (To which I expect the reply, He is anti-war,,,,,,And I reply, He has never been in a position to declare WAR!!!!)
Read my lips,,,,,,,,,,,,NO NEW TEXANS!!!!!
Bo,
You are wrong. Paul WILL go to war only if/when Declaration by Congressional Authorization - LEGALLY. NO more invasions or unauthorized meddling!
Ron Paul (a veteran) supports our troops and announced that he has NO intention of downsizing. The only thing that he will downsize is presence overseas. This will provide 2 things: 1 Servicemen/women will spend their money in OUR economy instead of bolstering foreign economies. 2 Shore up defense on OUR land.
Ron Paul 2012!
Hey genius, look up what separation of powers means. Newt wasn't under Clinton, that would imply the executive branch has control over the legislative branch.............which it does not.
Newt, Perry & Santorum might as well jump ship.
Bo- Whose speeches do you listen to? Heard any good ones lately? Are you good with the new NDAA? Why are the borders still not being secured? Why is so much money spent overseas, and that going to leadership and not to the people who need it? Why do we need military bases all over the globe? Are you good with the NWO? Corporatists making the laws? And don't tell me they are not. The laws in this country are bought and sold, and on your dime. Unload your skeet gun and send up some clay pidgeons that should be unbreakable; starting with our Constitution.
Steve-34594,
Try to remember correctly, Gingrich did in fact replace Tom Foley when the Republicans took over the House under Bill Clinton.
This is why it is so important for the American people to study history, and to learn what each and every candidate stands for, regardless of party. I know that some are proud to be Republican, some are proud to be Democrat. But today, there is no difference between the two. Our rights are being stripped as we bicker amongst each other. Let's ALL pull together!
Ron Paul 2012!
Oh come off it. Ron Paul has serious issues with the First Amendment and the Civil Rights Act, not to mention his unconscionable beliefs toward minorities. The man's dangerous if put in a position of authority, and America recognizes that.
The 'minorities' you speak of support Ron Paul over any of the other Republicans.
Nice try Toasty.
I'm sure you have to tell yourself that every time you vote for Paul. Sadly, one's head can only go so deep into the sand.
When I registered to vote in Florida last month, there was a TP man inside collecting data of candidates of all levels and quite a few more outside the county business offices. Nary a Democrat in site. The general consensus in here seems to be that the senior citizens here are mostly supportive of this current administration because of their SS and medicare needs. But most of the older people in my area are not in that same mood. Although If you go into Tampa or any bigger city (except Miami) Im sure you will find people who are bound to vote democratic.
Sure Sure,,,,,,,,,The Elderly are chomping at the bit to vote for the Party that is openly seeking to destroy SS and Medicare, We believe you,,Sure we do, hahaha
There is nothing worse than a medicare card carrying teabagger whining about government spending...we spend far more on senior citizen welfare than we do family welfare in this country...
The greatest generation and their selfish offspring the baby bummers have given us 15 trillion in debt...screw them if they start yapping about government spending...it was THEIR spending that sunk this nation
Rick- The greatest generation are dead and buried. Their offspring are retiring daily. So whose spending was it again? Put the blame where it's due, and there is not a one size fits all one party only answer.
I thought *Greatest Medicare Fraudist in History* (R-Florida) Gov. Rick Scott outlawed such method of voting as the *new* GOP / neocon / Tea Bag Suppress-the-Vote agenda ?
But in hawaii, gasoline suppliers can see the writing on the wall. Gasoline use peaked. That oil refiners are leaving the state because renewables are catching on because costs sooooo much lower. Solar panels and a plug in car is the cheapest if you can get the financing.
They are waiting to scoop up Perry's jumpers.
i live in florida and im voting RON PAUL , the others are a wasted vote especialy since 3 of them cant even get on 3 of the states. reguardless of what anyone thinks about RON PAUL we cant afford wars without a decleration from congress and we cant afford it period. let those countrys blow themselfs up we have better things to do than put up with that crap. take care of ourselfs here at home and when we get out of debt , then the other warmonger repubs and demosplats can move on to whatever agenda they are trying to achieve.
Do you truely believe Ron Paul would not declare war if it was in HIS best interest? (and trust me, The GOP WOULD make it in his best interest $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$)
Bo, you just called yourself out. In your previous post you stated that Paul is anti-war.
I suggest that you take the time to actually read ALL of the candidates histories. You will find that Ron Paul is the ONLY candidate who will not vote "yay" if it is unconstitutional. That is a fact that cannot be misinterpreted.
Ron Paul is the ONLY candidate who values our freedoms and will repeal Patriot, TSA and NDAA as currently written. Only then will "The People" have a voice without fear of retribution. If you disagree with that, then by all means vote for any Republican or Democrat at will, because today (unlike decades ago) there is NO difference between the two. Bush/Obama are perfect examples. Obama extended ALL of the anti-constitutional laws that Bush enacted and went even further.
Ron Paul 2012!
Hey Ford your a moron. You have no idea what your saying. Or maybe your just saying stupid stuff because your scared.
Do we really need to have the Republican circus in town. Can't they leave Florida alone and go somewhere else.
We already have a circus clown of a Republican Governor in office that the dumb people of florida voted for.
Nancy, I second that !
Nancy, keep them there, that way they won't come this way. We have enough clowns here.
If all of the people who LIKE Ron Paul actually VOTE for Ron Paul, he will WIN by a landslide.
Only then will The Constitution and our freedoms be restored. Only then will "The People" have and retain a voice to address all of the other problems that this nation has to face.
Ron Paul 2012!
Better take a look at his home district in Texas before you make that statement, LOL
How about their rights? How about their economy? How about their Federal Aid dependency?
Bo,
I have. Not being president and having to work only with what you have available, he still has to work within the system. As president, Paul will have certain presidential Powers granted by the Constitution to begin the change back our our founding principals.
Read my reply to you above.
Ron Paul 2012!
If all of the people who LIKE Ron Paul actually VOTE for Ron Paul, he will WIN by a landslide.
No, he won't, because unlike online polls, you're only allowed one vote per person in elections.
Tell me Bo, if you've researched Paul's home district, how the man can rally against pork and federal spending out of one side of his mouth, while requesting millions of federal dollars for shrimp farms in his home district (pork) out of the other side of his mouth?
Ron Paul is a liar and a flip-flopper, and people are starting to realize it.
Sorry PAF, but Ron Paul doesn't give two @!$%#s about the Constitution. All he does is declare himself as a defender of the Constitution, but the reality is that he's just as bad as his peers. Look at his actual voting record, not just the select votes he advertises on his website.
Watch the military absentee vote. Last election, too many military absentee votes were never counted due to 'break downs' in the postal system. The active military supports Ron Paul by huge numbers, more than all other candidates including Mr Obama combined. They have the potential to be a potent force in both the Republican nomination contest and the eventual election.
As for Mr Romney, he cannot win the Presidency. The complaints that his rivals are "doing the Democrats' job" in pointing out the duplicity of his corporate 'vulturism' are missing the logical and very real consequent of the proposition. His record of practices and decisions in the business world will be combined with his record politically to portray him as the very kind of corporate scallywag the OWS people have been railing against and for which there is much animosity in the American public in general. Both the left and the right have common ground in protesting the corporate crony capitalism with which he will be identified (rightly or wrongly). These factors will combine to prevent his election as President.
It's simply a question of whether his candidacy crashes now or later. Either the Republicans will disqualify him by showing his ultimate unelectability now or the Democrats do it this summer. For the greater Republican constituency, the benefit of it happening now is it gives them time to nominate someone else. After the conventions it will be too late.
As things stand, Dr Paul is the only candidate who is proposing true fiscal conservatism, a return to Federalism as established by the Constitution and the Founding Fathers, and a non-interventionist (not "isolationist") foreign policy that has the support of the very Citizens we call upon to fight our wars.
Face the facts - Ron Paul is a wasted vote. You might as well vote for Obama. I don't know who is worse, Ron Paul supporters or Obama Sheeple.
Dan G:
No vote made on principle and conviction is wasted. All votes cast in compromise are wasted.
Also, you have not addressed my argument that Mr Romney is, himself, unelectable. By that analysis, your potential vote for him would be wasted.
Save that speech for when you reelect Obama. From a 20+ year veteran who says Ron Paul doesn't know what he is talking about beyond the National debt.
His numbers are on a constant rise. The military vote will also invigorate this movement.
Ron Paul 2012!
Dan G:
What branch of the service did you/do you serve?
Retired Chief Petty Officer/USN and voting for a winner (Romney) rather than going down in flames on principle that ends up with four more years of Obama.
Dan G:
God bless you for your service to our country.
Would you address my argument that Mr Romney will lose because on his corporate and political history will be used against him to paint him as a 'one percent-er'? As you may have read, there is quite a bit of discussion that the Democrats precisely want Mr Romney to be the nominee because they know the mood of the nation will work against him, thus ensuring Mr Obama a second term. This bears consideration for two reasons: firstly, because as noted the very charge against Mr Santorum, Mr Gingrich and Mr Perry is that by attacking Mr Romney's corporate record they are "doing the Democrats' job"; and secondly, by the fact that the Democrats have already clearly laid the groundwork for a class versus class, corporate elite versus the 'common people' campaign.
Dan G.-46115
You ARE aware that you took an Oath to uphold The Constitution of the United States? Are you fully aware that ROMNEY, as stated on the RECORD, fully SUPPORTS Patriot Act, TSA and NDAA as currently written, which strips American Citizens of their rights and due process?
Are you also aware that, aside from Ron Paul, ALL Republicans and Democrats (including Obama) who are currently running are full supporters of Patriot, TSA and NDAA as currently written, which strips American Citizens of their rights and due process??
I am curious why the HUGE majority of the military is backing Ron Paul while you are not? Is there something much LARGER than the Constitution, Bill of Rights and FREEDOM in general that the rest of us are possibly not aware?
Btw, I sincerely thank you for your service. But I and others really need to know why you oppose Ron Paul, or at least make every effort possible to support him, when he is in fact is the ONLY candidate who will restore our great nation to the principals of which it was founded.
I look forward to your response.
Ron Paul 2012!
Dan G. being a lifer certainly does not qualify you to determine the best president...you think mittnes is the best why? Anyone can fire people and cut businesses up...even mitts..its takes a real leader to create and substain a business or country and mitts doesn't have it...
Rick:
Dan G is entitled to his opinion and his vote. Let us keep our disputation civil and cordial.
Also, ProudAmericanFirst:
I think you meant to say "or at least make every effort possible to oppose him"
"Mommy what's a bigot?" "Why it's Ron Paul hon"
Correction., and to Dan G,
Respectfully, I would question anybody who has SWORN and Oath to DEFEND the Constitution against enemies foreign AND DOMESTIC, why they would choose a candidate for ANY reason whatsoever when that candidate has gone on record to support Patriot, TSA and NDAA as currently written, when those things have or threaten our Civil Liberties and our Constitution.
As it is my RIGHT to ask, you are correct that Dan G. is also "free" to vote any way that he wishes. I will not infringe. To the contrary of denying his right to vote as he wishes, I merely ask what is more important than a SWORN Oath to DEFEND our Constitution of the United States and Civil Liberties.
I would also ask this: If we cannot rely on military Oath takers who swear to protect the Constitution and our Civil Liberties, to protect and to defend our rights, how on earth would we hold those responsible in the White House for protecting those same rights when they themselves have sworn to an Oath?
Ron Paul 2012!
ProudAmericanFirst:
My comment concerning civility was not directed at you. (I should have perhaps divided the comment into two parts.) "Civility" in discourses like this one is a pet peeve of mine.
Correction.
Yes, I know, I was merely emphasizing your statement to some of the others here that "Civility" should be adhered to :-)
It is a pleasure to be in a discussion with you.
Correction, there is one candidate that receives more support from active duty military members than Paul: Obama.
I am afraid Bo is spreading lies about Ron Pauls congressional district. I went a looked to see if his accusations were true. They were not. So Bo we all would like to know where you got your information.Don't make empty accusations without being able to back it up. Get off the anti-Paul trip.
Dan G @9.1,
Electability has been a democrat mantra since the 1890's, why the republicans have adopted it is beyond me.
If you go for electability, you ARE throwing your vote away.
Thrown away to the candidate that someone else has chosen, meaning that your opinion is of lesser value than the one who chose the candidate that is "Electable" in HIS opinion.
The "Electability" vote is a sheeple vote. The sooner Americans learn this the better off we will be.
Voting for Romney over Obama? Now there's a joke.
They have the exact same platform and are paid for by Goldman Sachs.
Romney is the wasted vote.
I still think it's funny to see Ron Paul, "not a typical politician," running dirty attack ads just like a typical politician.
Of course he has writers and publishers. It is the game that they are in. But I have NEVER heard words come out of Ron Pauls mouth the way that the other candidates openly do.
Ron Paul speaks to the issues, not to the candidates. He has even stated this during his speaches.
You get 1 Pinnochio.
Ron Paul 2012!
All we hear about in the so-called "mainstream" media is every little detail about the Republican primary.
When is the media going to stop the free publicity campaign and report some actual news for a change?
Only 48 more states left!
Hey Willard show your birth certificate...born in Mexico or the United States of America??? Where's the Donald on this one?
Ron Paul 2012-all else is a wasted effort.
Furthermore, if any candidate OTHER than Ron Paul is elected, candidates who SUPPORT Patriot, TSA and NDAA as currently written will be proponents of the following:
United Nations Agenda 21 - due to be finalized in 2012 - This has a VERY strong potential to eliminate our Constitutional Right To Bear Arms.
jbs.org/legislation/un-s-arms-trade-treaty-endangers-your-right-to-bear-arms
How many more rights must we lose before we all see loudly and clearly the Republican/Democratic agenda, initiated by Bush and extended by Obama? Where is the News Media in all of this? Is the News Media exempt from these blatant restrictions and that is why they are hush?
Proud Americian,
before I get too excited about it, I'd like to hear more from another source other then "The JOHN BIRCH SOCIETY", which is where this link goes. I may be off base, but they may be a litle tiny bit bias and I like verification on any subject anyway. I'm sure we'll hear more about this, from both sides. No, I'm not anti-gun or agianst people's rights to own them. I'm a "sports shooter" myself. Not a hunter anymore, because the deer and elk around here eat something that makes the meat taste bad to me and if I'm going to shoot something (other then self defense, not all the animials in the woods are small or friendly) I'm gonna eat it.
Anyway, maybe they want to make it so a straw-buyer can't walk in a gun shop and buy 15 AK-47s, 60 high capasity mags and and a case (2000 rds) of ammo and just walk out and load them in their car. I wouldn't find that a threat to my rights. So, maybe we shouldn't panic on that point just yet. Just sayin', not tryin to start a sub-topic.
I am a veteran and support Ron Paul - however, I would like to ask a few inter-related questions.
If anyone else but Ron Paul gets elected, does anyone doubt that we will soon go to war with Iran, and maybe a few other countries? And if that is the case, then how can the economic crisis be solved? Deficit spending will continue, the FED printing more money will continue, the massive waste of military bases all around the world will continue.........how does any current problem get solved? All of these policies are not only corrupt and bankrupt, but unconstitutional.
RON PAUL 2012
Raymond-4062711,
I do not doubt that at all. Whichever party or whoever is elected (aside from Ron Paul), the US has made it clear that we will engage one way or the other. In fact, the media is preparing us now.
I see the collapse of this nation if the FED continues to print money. I see jobs created but the majority will be part-time and wages will be stagnant - this will keep us, the American people, in line.
The military complex and Halliburton-like companies will profit beyond imagination as we continue to pay via ever-increasing taxes. The White House held off of raising them for the time being, that is until NATO is shoved down our throats, more rights have been stripped and the next president is elected into office. Are you better off now than 4 years ago? Nobody is. Not under Bush, not under Obama, not under any other future candidate other than Ron Paul, who will restore our freedoms and rights.
Simply put, no problem will ever get solved. Obama was elected to change the course, but he instead took over where GW had left off (GW would certainly have run again if he was allowed to go 3 terms).
This is the way that I see it. God (if you are religious) help us all.
Raymond, no matter who you vote for, thank you for your service.
Ron Paul 2012!
Ron Paul looks better every day. I can see where Paul could do a lot of good in returning the US to constitutional correctness and bringing down the national debt. And I am not too worried about him dismantling Social Security, Medicare or entire federal agencies because he would still have a democrat / republican Congress to deal with. What I like most about Paul is his consistancy, and transparency, what you see is what you get
Wouldn't it be nice to have a president not beholden to either pary or Wall street ??
Ellis Baumgarner,
Long term, I do worry about SS and Medicare. After all, it is not a hand-out - I paid into it all of these years.
In defense of Ron Paul, he acknowledged that many have paid into SS throughout their lives and rely on Medicare. He has promised to keep it going, but believes that future generations should consider investing on their own, but by "choice".
Yes, I believe that once our rights have been fully restored with no repercussion, we will have that voice to choose for ourselves, what to do for our future and how to live our lives. WE decide, NOT politicians or special interest.
Yes, it would be awesome to have a president who is NOT beholden to either party or Wall Street. It is a well known fact that lobbyists don't even bother knocking on Ron Pauls door anymore because they know that the door will be slammed in their face.
Paul craps on the Constitution just as much as the others, Ellis. He just proclaims himself to be defending it while he does so. That makes him an even bigger hypocrite than the mainstream candidates.
Toasty,
Give us a few specific examples. Otherwise your comment is useless.

Basically, his record on the constitution and civil liberties is mixed at best, and just as bad as the rest of the teapublicans.
Republican voters in Florida are not the smartest class of people. They tend to vote for the most insane candidate on the ballot. Look at the Republican governor they elected. A crook who stole millions from medicare and the Republican voters elected him anyway! What fools.
I love the negative attacks on Ron Paul because they add even more fire to those of us who know there is no real change without him. I don't care if he doesn't get it, anything is worth the fight to expose the system that is controlling the government, which Ron Paul has been doing consistently. No matter what you think of some of his policies, this guy has been true to his convictions , exposing the bankers control of the White House, Congress bought to just obey; I mean this guy is standing up to the whole system. You have to admire a fighter, and those who are honest do...
and the best thing is that every policy of Paul s is good for people, not government; good for the world, not military complex weapon makers; good for real economy, exposing the fraud and complicity of government with banksters. It s worth it to give this kind of person a try to see if he can change the rotten, dying system that is choking us to death
I really don't think Obama has a chance. Romney, Santorum, and Gingrich are part of and support the corrupt status quo.
I think you're right. We should give Ron Paul the chance to dismantle the corrupt Washington Establishment. After all, he is the only Candidate that wants to return control of the government back to the people.
If he becomes President, we must fill the Senate and Congress with supporters of his platform. That's one way to make sure things will change.
wow...I was right...newts supporters are all over 70...and this article proved it...only someone totally senile would vote for a man who was going to give a fake government job to a ho so he could screw her on the taxpayers dime...yeah a real "christian conservative"...un seal the records newt you ugly POS!!!
I am over 50 and I'm voting for Ron Paul and I used to be a democrat
Well! Well! Well! An article with Ron Pauls name in it. Someone in the editing department must have slipped up.
Nice to see in print the name of the only Candidate that the corrupt Washington Establishment is scared sh*tless of. Each Ron Paul vote is one vote closer for the people to regain control of the government, and goes a long way in dismantling the corrupt status quo.
Ron Paul in 2012. Mitt's the shi$
If Romney gets the nomination, Obama will win. If Paul gets the nomination, Obama will win with a landslide. It's really just that simple. The only candidates whose nomination wouldn't be a foregone Obama victory in November are Huntsman and Roemer, and we all know how likely THEY are to get it...
You keep saying that Toasty, but when you actually research the polls, Obama wins against Dr Paul in the heavy Democrat states and that is all, in the Republican states he cleans Obama's clock and in most of the swing states he enjoys a few points lead. Most overall polls that aren't slanted one way or the other show Dr Paul even to a few points ahead.
I know there is nothing that is going to change your viewpoint, but for once I would like proof?
Egil, he can't even win a primary, so what makes you think he'd even come close to winning the general election?
SUPPORTS Patriot Act, TSA and NDAA as currently written:
Romney
Santorum
Huntsman
Gingrich
OPPOSES and WILL ABOLISH Patriot Act, TSA and NDAA as currently written:
Ron Paul
____________________________________________________________________________________
If all of the people who LIKE Ron Paul Vote for Ron Paul, he will win by a landslide. There is a reason that our troops are in full support of Ron Paul and that is - Paul will restore our Constitution and Bill of Rights and NO more illegal wars. Our troops must come back home to spend money in OUR economy and to shore up our borders.
RON PAUL 2012!
I forgot to add Obama to the list (above) who SUPPORTS Patriot Act, TSA and NDAA ass currently written.
Ron Paul 2012!
