I just want to thank everyone that showed up and participated. Last
nights meeting was a blessing to me. It was good to hear everyone
share what God put on their heart and how this message has been
impacting our lifes.
I really like how John 3:17 says that Jesus didn't come to condemn
the world but to save. Everyone knows John 3:16 very few now the
verse after and to me thats the vital part. God not only saves but
he's not here to judge or condemn. The judgment WILL COME but its not
here now. I also like Matthew 19 where it talks about the kingdom of
heaven is like a servant forgiven of much who goes and tries to hold
someone who owes him very little accountable and throw him in prison
and shows how if we don't forgive the sins we were forgiven for we
will be held accountable for because unforgiveness is an unpardonable
sin, once your forgive then your slate is clean. As it says in the
manner we judge we will be judged. If we forgive we will be forgiven.
To many forget that forgivness of others is essential to be forgive.
There were a few testimonies about family, work and other
relationships where forgiveness was needed to be given and how to
deal with situations with Christians who are hypocritical.
Some good points where brought up.
I love how Francis Frangipane words things. I feel like I share alot
in common with things he says and how he approaches life and faith.
Where he says unless your willing to die for someone you have no
right to judge them. And that until your willing to intercede for
them and love them then you have no place to judge them. If you have
the Christ kinda of love that you will die for them and never leave
nor forsake them then you can help them toward the right path. We
discussed the biblical pattern for dealing with issues like that,
going to the person one on one, taking someone with you or taking it
further if necessary. But if your not willing to lay your life down
for them and intercede then you have no place.
And that realy leads to the point about the Plankeye Syndrome that we
discussed last night that when a person Judges and doesn't forgive
that they become so critical of others that they can't see their own
sins and since they are in judgement the critisize and just others
and this also brought us into a discussion on seperation and
discernment. Being able to understand what kingdom people are
opperating under. To be "meek and lowly of heart" to be slow to
speak, to take time to listen and hear the truth in things people say
and not take on the offense when someone may intend to offend. But to
be discerning of what spirit they are operating under and how to
minister through encouragement and wisdom, which is the application
of knowledge and experience which only comes through being doers of
the word not just listeners.
Most people with Plank Eye syndrome have a fixation with your spec
and keep picking at it but everytime they look at you, you have to
duck because if you dont their plank will hit you in the head.
Its also important to understand that you'r ears are holy and you
don't have to be defiled by listening to gossip that not saying
anything is the same as agreement or atleast to those speaking and
you're spirit feels defiled. We must have boundaries and when people
start to defile us we speak up. As I mentioned before meekness isn't
weakness, its strength cover or vieled, its having the power to but
making the choice not to. Humility is taking the lowest position,
taking the lowest seat, not trying to rise above others.
We must be meek and lowly of heart, to judge our own heart and walk
in love and realize Jesus didn't come to condemn or judge but to
save. Our job or mission is to love others as Christ did and through
our love lead them to Christ. As I mentioned last night to "Witness
at all times, but when necessary use words," Jesus spending time with
Zacheus the tax collector caused him to give half of all the stuff he
took back to those he took it from. In that time Tax collectors would
take an additional percentage of the taxes, if the tax was 10 percent
they would take 20 percent, or whatever they felt like and just the
fact that Jesus would spend time with him, he felt the love and
acceptance of God and that brought him to repentance.
The word says that Gods kindness leads to repentance. Gods love
covers a multitude of sins. The accuser of the brethren will accusser
a sinner of sin. You don't have to try to confront a sinner and tell
them they are a sinner. Jeremiah 33 says the new covenant will be on
peoples hearts and that you won't have to say to your neighbor know
God beause they now. Everyone is convicted of sin.
As Francis Frangipane said Jesus never Condemned Sinners, He
condemned Hypocrites / Religious Pharisee's. Judgement first comes to
the house of God. A sinner is a sinner. I think that Mormons,
Jehovahs Witness and others have pushed a false view of evangelism,
make sinner feel bad for their sin, condemn them for their sin and
then get them to repent. When Jesus spent time with Zacheus he
repented just because Jesus spent time with him. He saw his life, his
deeds, his works but that he would just eat dinner at his house was
amazing to him. Our lives should be like that.
When the women with adultery was caught and brought to him. Jesus
said let the first person without sin cast a stone and started to
write in the sand. As he wrote the all left starting the eldest
Pharisee on down. They all had sin. And then Jesus said where are you
accusers and then he said "go and sin no more." The shortest sermon.
Simple to the point. He didn't have to judge or go look adultry is
wrong you shouldn't do it, God doesn't like that. She knew. He said
go and sin no more. Many scholars say she's the one who brought the
alabaster jar and washed his feet with it when Judas said it was a
waste but our Lord said this must be done for the preperation for my
burial.
Love covers sin, the accuser uncovers.
He who is forgiven much loves much. We must shift our live to live by
example. We talked about how using proverbs in the workplace and with
others is a good way to plant seeds without judging and how God has
openned doors to change peoples lifes that way.
We also, discussed how Jesus humbleselve to come to the earth as a
man and at the Lords Passover Meal he washed the feet of the
disciples. The God who spoke the world into existance, the word,
Jehovah Elohim, was kneeling at the feet of His disciples and said
they had no part of him if they didn't let him wash their feet.
Jesus took the lowest place, so He could take us to the highest place
with him. He showed love, mercy, forgiveness, healed those hurting,
binded up their wounds, suffered punishment for our sins and pain for
our healing.
When faced with the cross he never spoke a word because he "knew the
spirit that is within men." He discerned the kingdoms and knew of
which spirit people spoke, so he was able to divide a person from
their sin. The word is sharper than a two edged sword to dividing
assunder of joints and marrow, soul and spirit, and is a discerner of
the thoughts and intents of the heart. Jesus, The Word, IS SHARPER
than a TWO EDGED SWORD. Jesus was a sharp guy. Who was tempted in all
ways as we are but didn't sin. He didn't say a word but on the cross
said of those who killed him, "Father forgive them, they don't know
what they do," because he "knew the spirit that is within men" as
Paul said "when I sin its is no longer I but sin in me."
It easy to meek when you a confronted with a rough situation when you
know that the person who is full of judgement, wrath and anger is
under judgement for their unforgiveness and they are walking in a
spirit of bitterness. You know that they behave that way because its
a spiritual issue not a physical battle.
As I mentioned late night, the Nicene council was called to battle
the Gnostic gospels that were trying to teach that knowledge saves
and the "enlightenment" really brought that to the mainstream and is
the mainstream in Western Culture and education. After the dark ages
came the enlightenment which real taught that "knowledge is power."
Thats really the luciferian spirit and the mantra of
witchcraft, "know thyself and you know god and the universe," which
is rooted in Lucifereanism. Too say rationaly I am self reliant, self
sufficient, self capable. You may be but if you are a hearer and not
a doer of the word. If you are lost in knowledge but have no power in
your life. You might want to apply "your heart" to knowledge and let
it become wisdom through experience.
We must cast down those vain imaginations, thoughts and arguments
that rise against the knowledge of God. The most common topic I read
about in Paul epistles is Sanctification... That we go from Glory to
Glory, Height to Height, that God keeps us when we walk with him. Its
our job to apply our hearts to wisdom, to walk according to Gods
word. In the OT the glory resided in the Holy of Holies, we are not
temples of the Glory of God, if we walk out sanctification or which
Humility is the foundation of transformation, then the closer to God
we get, the more humble we have to be. God resists the proud but
draws near to the humble. Humility is the key to the power of Gods
kingdom in your life.
When we walk in humility and sanctification, we go from glory to
glory and the closer we get to God, the more that people around
us "feel" the change of the presence of God in our lives.
Jesus said in the last days we are to preach the good news to all the
earth and in the OT is says His glory will be poured out all over the
earth. We are the earthen vessels of clay that to carry the oil of
the spirit. We need to keep getting vessels to bring them in so they
can get filled up and then go out. We are the vessels who are to
carry His glory to the ends of the earth. That is the miseo-dea the
mission of God. We are His vessels and vessels of dishonor can
cleanse themselves and become vessels of honor.
I know this is another of my long posts... Thank you for reading it
for those of you who do. I pray that it blesses you as we were
blessed last night.
Shalom,

Bridge To Dominion Lifeteam meeting follow up
I want to thank everyone who made it to me and my wifes apartment. It
was a really good meeting, the fellowship was good, the conversation
was great and God really brought revelation and personal break
throughs for everyone in the house.
I just wanted to leave some notes on my heart. One that we go from
Glory to Glory, Height to Height, in Christ, if you are a disciple
then your growing and being Transformed and Renewed, if your are not,
your life is stagnant and you recieve no oposition because your not a
threat to the devil and your not in his way. Jesus said count the
cost and he that desires to live right and godly shall suffer
persecution. So if you even want to do what right satan will target
you because you are a threat to him.
I also wanted to remind you of what I shared out of Hebrews 2:7-11,
that God crowned us with glory and gave us dominion and put us
only "a little lower" than angels. That satan came to decieve we were
made IN GODS IMAGE, satan tempted Eve & Adam saying "don't you know
you will be like gods (or divine beings)" that was a temptation at
demotion not promotion. They were in Gods image, it doesn't get
better than that. They where given dominion over the works of Gods
hands it doesn't get better than that. They were tempted to accept a
false cheaper counterfiet.
The truth is that we are made Gods son's and daughter, we are
adopeted into the family through the Abrahamic promise we become
JOINT HEIRS with JESUS, FULL PARTNERS with Jesus who is seated at the
right hand of the Father on the Throne interceding for us and we are
seated in heavenly places with him on that same throne.
Jesus told His disciples all power on heaven and earth has been given
to me, I know give to you. We have power and authority.
Humility and meekness isn't weakness its having power and choosing to
not show it of or use it but when necessary. Its knowing your calling
and being obedient.
Jesus said, "If you love me obey my commands," and "go and learn what
this means I desire obedience not sacrifice." When we obey God we
then reside under His covering protected in His secret place, hidden
under the shadow of His wing and the enemy can't harm us, (Psalms 91
which was referenced alot).
We are joint heirs with God, We are full partners with the Godhead,
we have all the authority that Jesus did and humility is the key to
accessing and using the power. You can trully say I am Gods son or
Gods daughter, not just "a child" of God, or a yeah yeah I know I'ma
son of God but I am a fully adopted adult child accepted into the
family fo God, I am brothers with God, with Jesus, God the son,
Jehovah Elohim of the Old Testament. And we pray to the Father Adonay
Jehovah through Jehovah Elohim's new covenant name revealed to us
Jesus or Yeshua, whom through which we have authority.
Humility is knowing that and being able to oproriate that. Where we
can be like Peter and John when they were brought before the
Sanhedrin and they said "how do these mean teach with authority, they
are unlearned," basically they aren't theologians and didn't go to
school, and someone said, "we saw them with Jesus, this must be how."
There is authority in submission to God and in submission is humility
and humility really is power when the meek shall inherit the earth.
As man see's it muscle and control and manipulation and others forms
of witchcraft, the need to know or the need to control, is power. But
in reality humility, meekness and submission is power. Psalms 133
says that when the bretheren dwell in unity there is a commanded
blessing.
So there is power in meekness not weakness, humility brings God near
like nothing else, the broken and contrite He will never deny and
obedience brings you under the shadow of the almighty under the cleft
of His wing safe in the secret place where your protected from satan
and you can eat a meal in the presence of your enemies.

Are we "gods"?
Question: Are we "gods"?
So when Hebrews 2 says that Jesus made many men His Brothers, that we are created in Gods image, Heb 1 says Jesus is the express image of God, that that we are joint heirs with Christ, in Mathew that all power in heaven and earth has been given me I give you, that he said "Has it not been written in your Law, 'I said you are gods (theos in John & elohim in Psalms),'" those you forgive will be forgiven, we are seated in heavenly places with Christ (Q: Where is Christ seated? A: on the throne with Adonai His Father and Our Father), and that in the beggining God put Adam in DOMINION over the earth and put man a little lower than angels and crowned him with glory, what position does that put us in?
Jesus said "in that day you will ask nothing in my name but you will ask my Father in my name and He will do it for you." That puts us in a position of great responsibility and power in the kingdom of God, to remove the kingdom of satan from peoples lives but we are not little demi-gods as satan tried to decieve eve she would be like. We are made in Gods image with Gods authority in Jesus name but we are servants of the most high God our Father and Lord and only Potentate / Supreme Ruler.
Note the key words:
Brothers & Sisters to Jesus - Thats an equal position right.
Joint Heirs - Joint, joined together, heirs of a promise of a family
Adopted into the family - Accepted into the beloved
All Power - not some but all power has been given, the keys of the kingdom are give to us and hell can't defeat us
Seated With - Thats a joint position
The Image Of God - we were created in Gods image. Satan lied and said you will be like "gods" (elohim) when they were already created in Gods image and given dominion.
gods - theos the greek word used for gods many and the Judeo-Christian monotheism, or elohim the Hebrew which means Lord, Master or Sir, to rule over something, we are not to Lord it over people, we have domonion and authority, we are not YAHWEH, The One TRUE GOD. We have a position with Him, when we are save by Him, that we can use and access His power in our lives. We are not God / YAHWEH or Adonai.
Dominion - to rule over or to have authority over
What do those words mean?
Christ is seated at the right hand of God most high, the Father, on the throne interceding for us, we are adopted in the family of God, but the family of God is the Father, Son & Holy Spirit.
So what position does that put us in?
It has been falsely taught that we are little gods, but we are joint heirs with God the son and have all power over the enemy in Jesus name.
So when Hebrews 2 says that Jesus made many men His Brothers, that we are created in Gods image, Heb 1 says Jesus is the express image of God, that that we are joint heirs with Christ, in Mathew that all power in heaven and earth has been given me I give you, that he said "Has it not been written in your Law, 'I said you are gods (theos in John & elohim in Psalms),'" those you forgive will be forgiven, we are seated in heavenly places with Christ (Q: Where is Christ seated?

Vote For Ron Paul
Ron Paul 2008
Congressman Ron Paul (R-Texas) is the leading advocate for freedom in our nation’s capital. As a member of the U.S. House of Representatives, Dr. Paul tirelessly works for limited constitutional government, low taxes, free markets, and a return to sound monetary policies. He is known among his congressional colleagues and his constituents for his consistent voting record. Dr. Paul never votes for legislation unless the proposed measure is expressly authorized by the Constitution.
Brief Overview of Congressman Paul’s Record:
He has never voted to raise taxes.
He has never voted for an unbalanced budget.
He has never voted for a federal restriction on gun ownership.
He has never voted to raise congressional pay.
He has never taken a government-paid junket.
He has never voted to increase the power of the executive branch.
He voted against the Patriot Act.
He voted against regulating the Internet.
He voted against the Iraq war.
He does not participate in the lucrative congressional pension program.
He returns a portion of his annual congressional office budget to the U.S. treasury every year.
Congressman Paul introduces numerous pieces of substantive legislation each year, probably more than any single member of Congress.
Issues
Debt and Taxes
· Working Americans like lower taxes. So do I. Lower taxes benefit all of us, creating jobs and allowing us to make more decisions for ourselves about our lives.
· Whether a tax cut reduces a single mother’s payroll taxes by $40 a month or allows a business owner to save thousands in capital gains taxes and hire more employees, that tax cut is a good thing. Lower taxes allow more spending, saving, and investing which helps the economy — that means all of us.
· Real conservatives have always supported low taxes and low spending.
· But today, too many politicians and lobbyists are spending America into ruin. We are nine trillion dollars in debt as a nation. Our mounting government debt endangers the financial future of our children and grandchildren. If we don’t cut spending now, higher taxes and economic disaster will be in their future — and yours.
· In addition, the Federal Reserve, our central bank, fosters runaway debt by increasing the money supply — making each dollar in your pocket worth less. The Fed is a private bank run by unelected officials who are not required to be open or accountable to “we the people.”
· Worse, our economy and our very independence as a nation is increasingly in the hands of foreign governments such as China and Saudi Arabia, because their central banks also finance our runaway spending.
· We cannot continue to allow private banks, wasteful agencies, lobbyists, corporations on welfare, and governments collecting foreign aid to dictate the size of our ballooning budget. We need a new method to prioritize our spending. It’s called the Constitution of the United States.
American Independence and Sovereignty
· So called free trade deals and world governmental organizations like the International Criminal Court (ICC), NAFTA, GATT, WTO, and CAFTA are a threat to our independence as a nation. They transfer power from our government to unelected foreign elites.
· The ICC wants to try our soldiers as war criminals. Both the WTO and CAFTA could force Americans to get a doctor’s prescription to take herbs and vitamins. Alternative treatments could be banned. The WTO has forced Congress to change our laws, yet we still face trade wars. Today, France is threatening to have U.S. goods taxed throughout Europe. If anything, the WTO makes trade relations worse by giving foreign competitors a new way to attack U.S. jobs. NAFTA’s superhighway is just one part of a plan to erase the borders between the U.S. and Mexico, called the North American Union. This spawn of powerful special interests, would create a single nation out of Canada, the U.S. and Mexico, with a new unelected bureaucracy and money system. Forget about controlling immigration under this scheme.
· And a free America, with limited, constitutional government, would be gone forever.
· Let’s not forget the UN. It wants to impose a direct tax on us. I successfully fought this move in Congress last year, but if we are going to stop ongoing attempts of this world government body to tax us, we will need leadership from the White House.
· We must withdraw from any organi-zations and trade deals that infringe upon the freedom and independence of the United States of America.
War and Foreign Policy
· The war in Iraq was sold to us with false information. The area is more dangerous now than when we entered it. We destroyed a regime hated by our direct enemies, the jihadists, and created thousands of new recruits for them. This war has cost more than 3,000 American lives, thousands of seriously wounded, and hundreds of billions of dollars. We must have new leadership in the White House to ensure this never happens again.
· Both Jefferson and Washington warned us about entangling ourselves in the affairs of other nations. Today, we have troops in 130 countries. We are spread so thin that we have too few troops defending America. And now, there are new calls for a draft of our young men and women.
· We can continue to fund and fight no-win police actions around the globe, or we can refocus on securing America and bring the troops home. No war should ever be fought without a declaration of war voted upon by the Congress, as required by the Constitution. Under no
· circumstances should the U.S. again go to war as the result of a resolution that comes from an unelected, foreign body, such as the United Nations. Too often we give foreign aid and intervene on behalf of governments that are despised. Then, we become despised. Too often we have supported those who turn on us, like the Kosovars who aid Islamic terrorists, or the Afghan jihads themselves, and their friend Osama bin Laden. We armed and trained them, and now we’re paying the price.
· At the same time, we must not isolate ourselves. The generosity of the American people has been felt around the globe. Many have thanked God for it, in many languages. Let us have a strong America, conducting open trade, travel, communication, and diplomacy with other nations.
Border Security and Immigration Reform
The talk must stop. We must secure our borders now. A nation without secure borders is no nation at all. It makes no sense to fight terrorists abroad when our own front door is left unlocked. This is my six point plan:
Physically secure our borders and coastlines. We must do whatever it takes to control entry into our country before we undertake complicated immigration reform proposals.
Enforce visa rules. Immigration officials must track visa holders and deport anyone who overstays their visa or otherwise violates U.S. law. This is especially important when we recall that a number of 9/11 terrorists had expired visas.
No amnesty. Estimates suggest that 10 to 20 million people are in our country illegally. That’s a lot of people to reward for breaking our laws.
No welfare for illegal aliens. Americans have welcomed immigrants who seek opportunity, work hard, and play by the rules. But taxpayers should not pay for illegal immigrants who use hospitals, clinics, schools, roads, and social services.
End birthright citizenship. As long as illegal immigrants know their children born here will be citizens, the incentive to enter the U.S. illegally will remain strong.
Pass true immigration reform. The current system is incoherent and unfair. But current reform proposals would allow up to 60 million more immigrants into our country, according to the Heritage Foundation. This is insanity. Legal immigrants from all countries should face the same rules and waiting periods.
Privacy and Personal Liberty
· The biggest threat to your privacy is the government. We must drastically limit the ability of government to collect and store data regarding citizens’ personal matters.
· We must stop the move toward a national ID card system. All states are preparing to issue new driver’s licenses embedded with “standard identifier” data — a national ID. A national ID with new tracking technologies means we’re heading into an Orwellian world of no privacy. I voted against the Real ID Act in March of 2005.
· To date, the privacy focus has been on identity theft. It was Congress that created this danger by mandating use of the standard identifier (currently your SSN) in the private sector. For example, banks use SSNs as customer account identifiers because the government requires it.
· We must also protect medical privacy. Right now, you’re vulnerable. Under so-called “medical privacy protection” rules, insurance companies and other entities have access to your personal medical information.
· Financial privacy? Right now depositing $10,000 in your local bank will generate a “suspicious activity report” to the federal government.
· And then there’s the so-called Patriot Act. As originally proposed. Expanded the federal government’s ability to use wiretaps without judicial oversight; allowed nationwide search warrants non-specific to any given location, nor subject to any local judicial oversight; made it far easier for the government to monitor private internet usage; authorized “sneak and peek” warrants enabling federal authorities to search a person’s home, office, or personal property without that person’s knowledge; and required libraries and bookstores to turn over records of books read by their patrons. Today the threat to your liberty and privacy is very real. We need leadership at the top that will prevent Washington from centralizing power and private data about our lives.
· I have fought this fight for many years. I sponsored a bill to overturn the Patriot Act and have won some victories.
Property Rights and Eminent Domain
· We must stop special interests from violating property rights and literally driving families from their homes, farms and ranches.
· Our country’s founders would roll over in their graves if they saw the takings clause in the Fifth Amendment used to justify booting people out of their homes for the profit of private developers and tax-hungry local governments. The Supreme Court’s Kelo decision said government power could be used to condemn private homes and churches to benefit a huge pharmaceutical corporation and a large property developer.
· Today, we face a new threat of widespread eminent domain actions as a result of powerful interests who want to build a NAFTA superhighway through the United States from Mexico to Canada.
· We also face another danger in regulatory takings: Through excess regulation, governments deprive property owners of significant value and use of their properties — all without paying “just compensation.”
· Property rights are the foundation of all rights in a free society. Without the right to own a printing press, for example, freedom of the press becomes meaningless. The next president must get federal agencies out of these schemes to deny property owners their constitutional rights to life, liberty, and property.
About Ron Paul
Congressman Ron Paul is the leading advocate for freedom in our nation’s capital. As a member of the U.S. House of Representatives, Dr. Paul tirelessly works for limited constitutional government, low taxes, free markets, and a return to sound monetary policies. He is known among his congressional colleagues and his constituents for his consistent voting record. Dr. Paul never votes for legislation unless the proposed measure is expressly authorized by the Constitution. In the words of former Treasury Secretary William Simon, Dr. Paul is the “one exception to the Gang of 535” on Capitol Hill.
Ron Paul was born and raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He graduated from Gettysburg College and the Duke University School of Medicine, before proudly serving as a flight surgeon in the U.S. Air Force during the 1960s. He and his wife Carol moved to Texas in 1968, where he began his medical practice in Brazoria County. As a specialist in obstetrics/gynecology, Dr. Paul has delivered more than 4,000 babies. He and Carol, who reside in Lake Jackson, Texas, are the proud parents of five children and have 17 grandchildren.
While serving in Congress during the late 1970s and early 1980s, Dr. Paul’s limited-government ideals were not popular in Washington. In 1976, he was one of only four Republican congressmen to endorse Ronald Reagan for president.
During that time, Congressman Paul served on the House Banking committee, where he was a strong advocate for sound monetary policy and an outspoken critic of the Federal Reserve’s inflationary measures. He was an unwavering advocate of pro-life and pro-family values. Dr. Paul consistently voted to lower or abolish federal taxes, spending and regulation, and used his House seat to actively promote the return of government to its proper constitutional levels. In 1984, he voluntarily relinquished his House seat and returned to his medical practice.
Dr. Paul returned to Congress in 1997 to represent the 14th congressional district of Texas. He presently serves on the House Committee on Financial Services and the House Committee on Foreign Affairs. He continues to advocate a dramatic reduction in the size of the federal government and a return to constitutional principles.
Congressman Paul’s consistent voting record prompted one of his congressional colleagues to say, “Ron Paul personifies the Founding Fathers’ ideal of the citizen-statesman. He makes it clear that his principles will never be compromised, and they never are.” Another colleague observed, “There are few people in public life who, through thick and thin, rain or shine, stick to their principles. Ron Paul is one of those few.”

Congressman Ron Paul (R-Texas) is the leading advocate for freedom in our nation’s capital. As a member of the U.S. House of Representatives, Dr. Paul tirelessly works for limited constitutional government, low taxes, free markets, and a return to sound monetary policies. He is known among his congressional colleagues and his constituents for his consistent voting record. Dr. Paul never votes for legislation unless the proposed measure is expressly authorized by the Constitution.
Brief Overview of Congressman Paul’s Record:
He has never voted to raise taxes.
He has never voted for an unbalanced budget.
He has never voted for a federal restriction on gun ownership.
He has never voted to raise congressional pay.
He has never taken a government-paid junket.
He has never voted to increase the power of the executive branch.
He voted against the Patriot Act.
He voted against regulating the Internet.
He voted against the Iraq war.
He does not participate in the lucrative congressional pension program.
He returns a portion of his annual congressional office budget to the U.S. treasury every year.
Congressman Paul introduces numerous pieces of substantive legislation each year, probably more than any single member of Congress.
Issues
Debt and Taxes
· Working Americans like lower taxes. So do I. Lower taxes benefit all of us, creating jobs and allowing us to make more decisions for ourselves about our lives.
· Whether a tax cut reduces a single mother’s payroll taxes by $40 a month or allows a business owner to save thousands in capital gains taxes and hire more employees, that tax cut is a good thing. Lower taxes allow more spending, saving, and investing which helps the economy — that means all of us.
· Real conservatives have always supported low taxes and low spending.
· But today, too many politicians and lobbyists are spending America into ruin. We are nine trillion dollars in debt as a nation. Our mounting government debt endangers the financial future of our children and grandchildren. If we don’t cut spending now, higher taxes and economic disaster will be in their future — and yours.
· In addition, the Federal Reserve, our central bank, fosters runaway debt by increasing the money supply — making each dollar in your pocket worth less. The Fed is a private bank run by unelected officials who are not required to be open or accountable to “we the people.”
· Worse, our economy and our very independence as a nation is increasingly in the hands of foreign governments such as China and Saudi Arabia, because their central banks also finance our runaway spending.
· We cannot continue to allow private banks, wasteful agencies, lobbyists, corporations on welfare, and governments collecting foreign aid to dictate the size of our ballooning budget. We need a new method to prioritize our spending. It’s called the Constitution of the United States.
American Independence and Sovereignty
· So called free trade deals and world governmental organizations like the International Criminal Court (ICC), NAFTA, GATT, WTO, and CAFTA are a threat to our independence as a nation. They transfer power from our government to unelected foreign elites.
· The ICC wants to try our soldiers as war criminals. Both the WTO and CAFTA could force Americans to get a doctor’s prescription to take herbs and vitamins. Alternative treatments could be banned. The WTO has forced Congress to change our laws, yet we still face trade wars. Today, France is threatening to have U.S. goods taxed throughout Europe. If anything, the WTO makes trade relations worse by giving foreign competitors a new way to attack U.S. jobs. NAFTA’s superhighway is just one part of a plan to erase the borders between the U.S. and Mexico, called the North American Union. This spawn of powerful special interests, would create a single nation out of Canada, the U.S. and Mexico, with a new unelected bureaucracy and money system.
