LIBERTY

Ron Paul is Americas leading voice for liberty, prosperity

and peace. As a former member of the U.S. House of
Representatives and three-time presidential candidate, Ron
Paul tirelessly works for limited, constitutional government,
low taxes, free markets, and a return to sound monetary
policies. Ron Paul never voted for legislation unless the
proposed measure was expressly authorized by the
Constitution.

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. Pauls 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
Reserves 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 returned to his medical practice.

Ron Paul went back to Congress in 1997 to represent the 14th

congressional district of Texas. He served on the House
Committee on Financial Services and the House Committee
on Foreign Affairs, and eventually became Chairman of the
Subcommittee on Domestic Monetary Policy and Technology.
After retiring from Congress in early 2013, Ron Paul continued
to advocate a dramatic reduction in the size of the federal
government and a return to constitutional principles.

the federal government's fiscal policies, especially the existence of the Federal Reserve and the tax

programs. Paul was the first chairman of the conservative PAC Citizens for a Sound Economy and
