Ron Paul Republican Revolution – 2010/2012 candidates for office

Home / Platform

Platform

Dr. Paul’s platform has consistently focused on the following:
- Adherence to the United States Constitution
- Sound Monetary Policy and Fiscal Responsibility
- Personal Liberty and Self-Reliance
- Non-interventionist Foreign policy (No Nation Building)

This purpose of this site is to encourage others to run for office who represent this philosophy, regardless of their party. Currently, the majority of candidates are running for the Republican party, not because they support the current Republican party but believe it can be re-taken at the ballot box.

The types of elected positions we strive to support –
- Congressional
- Senatorial
- Gubernatorial
- State Assembly
- City Council members
- Mayors

The outline below is an excerpt of what many believe is a Constitutional Republican platform.
Dr. Paul is one of a handful of Republicans who have consistently supported our founders vision of America without compromise.

Why I’m a Ron Paul Republican

Congressman Ron Paul is a great example of honesty and principle in government and the Republican Party.

Doctor Ron 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.

This is, less about Ron Paul than it is, about US and what WE stand for and what WE believe in.

We are willing to stand on principle when it may not be popular to do so.

We believe in personal liberty and self reliance.

We believe in and seek a return to sound money principles.

We support a non-interventionist (non-Nation building) foreign policy.

We are calling the GOP back to its roots.

Barry Goldwater said, “I would remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice! And let me remind you also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue.”

Goldwater’s legacy led to the rise of conservatives calling themselves Reagan Republicans to express their agreement with the principles and issues they believed in.

Ronald Reagan later said, “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.”

We believe it is once again time for the next generation of fiscal conservatives to stand and be counted

Fiscal conservatism has always been a core value of the Republican Party, Ron Paul Republicans, seek to reduce the size and scope of Federal Government based on Constitutional principles.

If you agree with these positions, please help this grassroots effort to get the term Ron Paul Republican into the dialog. This term has a clear meaning and can help us identify each other as well as candidates that share our views.
