This Much Is True: You Have Been Lied To.
- The government is expanding.
- Taxes are increasing.
- More senseless wars are being planned.
- Inflation is ballooning.
- Our basic freedoms are disappearing.
The Founding Fathers didn't want any of this. In fact, they said so quite clearly in the Constitution of the United States of America. Unfortunately, that beautiful, ingenious, and revolutionary document is being ignored more and more in Washington. If we are to enjoy peace, freedom, and prosperity once again, we absolutely must return to the principles upon which America was founded. But finally, there is hope . . .
In THE REVOLUTION,Texas congressman and presidential candidate Ron Paul has exposed the core truths behind everything threatening America, from the real reasons behind the collapse of the dollar and the looming financial crisis, to terrorism and the loss of our precious civil liberties. In this book, Ron Paul provides answers to questions that few even dare to ask.
Despite a media blackout, this septuagenarian physician-turned-congressman sparked a movement that has attracted a legion of young, dedicated, enthusiastic supporters . . . a phenomenon that has amazed veteran political observers and made more than one political rival envious. Candidates across America are already running as "Ron Paul Republicans."
"Dr. Paul cured my apathy," says a popular campaign sign. THE REVOLUTION may cure yours as well.

Reviews summary: It just makes sense
Comment reviews: It just makes sense - it's that simple. It amazes me that anyone could be turned off by Ron Paul and his beliefs. The book is a very quick read, and lays things out plain and simple. He discusses foreign policy, the Constitution, economic policy, and much more. He asks many thought-provoking questions concerning the situations we'd be in if we DID follow his advice - in my mind, we'd be in a much better place. I'd challenge any reader to find a good argument otherwise.

Reviews summary: Ron Paul is brilliant...
Comment reviews: I am 20 years old, and first stumbled upon Ron Paul back when he originally declared his intent to run for President. I'd heard his name before, and immediately began seeing "Who is Ron Paul?" chalked all around campus. I always considered myself "conservative," but am attending school at a former East-coast hotbed for left wing radicalism (and where more than 85% of the people voted for Obama a couple weeks ago).
Curious, I looked him up, and was intrigued, but read some things about how "radical" he was and kind of dismissed it back then. Return to a gold standard? Seemed so crazy at the time...
Then the Bear Stearns bail out came along. Followed by AIG, and then the big whammy. I couldn't come to grips with this - everyone couldn't stop talking about how these institutions were "too big to fail," yet they were failing. Day after day, Bernanke, Hypocritical Hank, GW, everyone got on TV and basically started fear mongering. Presidential debates focused on "predatory lending," and "protecting the American people," when it seemed to me the real problem was that people borrowed money and could not pay it back. And now that they couldn't every man, woman, and child in America was supposed to pay $2000+ to save them.
To keep things short, I am only a recent Ron Paul convert, but I sure as hell hope he makes one more run at the White House in 2012. In under 170 pages, he has not only summed up all that is wrong with our country using principles everyone can understand, but he's offered very realistic solutions to these problems. Ron Paul is (and has always been) asking the questions we should all be asking, and need to ask, if we want to continue along as the world's most prosperous country (a status we've taken forgranted). I'll be spending the next 4 years of my life currying support for the Ron Paul Revolution. Give me liberty or give me death!

Reviews summary: Ron Paul's Manifesto: A Lesson in Liberty
Comment reviews: Ron Paul's manifesto has been well worth purchasing. What was most refreshing and worthwhile about this book is that Paul draws from a varied history of works. Paul presents an argument that has not been completely understood by the media, or by his own party. Ron Paul traces the meaning of conservativism in America from its roots to how it has transformed today into something barely recognizable. This is an especially interesting read now that the Republican party is undecided in which direction it should go in the future. Ron Paul maps out very neatly where he believes his party's focus should be.

Reviews summary: The REAL change
Comment reviews: This is a great book. It tells you about many of the problems that this country faces. You come to learn that many of these problems could have been avoided if well followed the rules by our founding fathers written in the US constitution. It is great to see that there is a man that I can trust that believes in personal freedom and equal rights, both socially and financially. This is something that neither republicans or democrats have. Too bad his campaign did not lead to success. A must read for anyone on the political spectrum, especially those who desire change.
