Publisher Description
Here is Ron Paul's political manifesto, a courageous book on civil liberties and the rights of Americans that are relentlessly under assault from government. It was written in 1987, on the 200th anniversary of the Constitution, and is available as an ebook for the first time.
It is here that Dr. Paul provides his most extended thoughts on what it means to be a constitutionalist in the tradition of Thomas Jefferson.
He connects violations of individual rights to an interventionist foreign policy and the supposed needs of national security. Here he blasts the draft and draft registration, impositions on the right of individuals to own guns, restrictions on the freedom to speak and write — and draws out the links between all these policies.
Paul further discusses the tie between individual liberties and sound money. When a nation's money is controlled by the people instead of the state, they retain their essential freedoms. But when money is monopolized by government with no tie to a commodity, the state is in a position to ride roughshod over our liberties.
Other issues discussed include the true meaning of patriotism, the moral law as it applies to politics, the meaning of leadership in a free society, Paul's views on the state in light of his experiences in Washington, and the historic and everlasting conflict between the individual and the state.

Ron Paul is a Rock Star!!!
Another incredible book by Ron Paul! Ron Paul is an inspiration to all that take the time to listen to him. He is a true leader, and the man that will inspire the next revolution in American history. A knowledgable public is a corrupt governments worst enemy.
Great book that should be in every real Patriots library
Ron Paul was ahead of his time when he wrote this book. He has a good grasp on the intentions of the Framers of our nation that most lack. His knowledge of the Constitution, our Fiat Monetary System, and sound Foreign Policy has not been equaled by any politician since Thomas Jefferson. If America is to awake from it's sleeping slumber this book would serve as a good wakeup call. Regardless if you lean Liberal or Conservative, this book will show you how our freedoms are disappearing. What makes this book stand above others is that Ron Paul has identified the root cause of our loss of freedom, and it of course all comes down to economics.
