Why Ron Paul Fans Should Join Us
Ron Paul is a lifetime member of the Libertarian Party. Ron Paul was the Libertarian candidate for President in 1988. Why? Because Ron Paul and the Libertarian Party share the same values:
- Individual Liberty
- Personal Responsibility
- Limited Government
Although the Republican Party occasionally talks about these values, they certainly don't walk the walk. Nowadays, Most Republicans join most Democrats in support of runaway spending and unending wars—that's not Ron Paul at all.
Ron Paul is not the choice of Republican voters either: 95% of Illinois Republicans rejected Ron Paul in the primary.
Ron Paul is the choice of Libertarians: 95% of Libertarians support Ron Paul. Many, many Libertarians supported Ron Paul's campaign and worked hard for him here in Illinos.
Rob Paul had this to say about the Democratic and Republican Parties on June 4, 2009 in the House of Representatives:
“On the surface, there seem to be substantial differences between Democrats and Republicans, but on the issues of greatest importance, there is little variance. Both parties have come to endorse policies that make America policeman of the world while eroding civil liberties at home, out of control deficit spending and inflationary monetary policy that places tremendous burden on working families."
The message of liberty is what both Ron Paul and the Libertarian Party are all about.
We invite you to join the Party that believes what Ron Paul believes. Join the Party that welcomes you and your belief in the values of liberty.
Join the Libertarian Party. Start by joining the Illinois LP, then get involved with your local Libertarian chapter. We need every Ron Paul fan to join us and nurture the seeds of liberty that Ron Paul plants every day.
