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 works tirelessly towards limited constitutional government, low taxes, free markets, and a return to sound monetary policies. His congressional colleagues and constituents hold him in the highest regard 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 proved himself an unwavering proponent of pro-life and pro-family values. Dr. Paul consistently voted to lower or abolish federal taxes, spending and regulation. He strategically used his House seat by actively promoting the return of government to its proper constitutional standards. 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 plead his case for a dramatic reduction in the size of the federal government and a restoration to constitutional principles.

Congressman Paul's irrefutably 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."

Hey guys, there's a new story up about Ron Paul in our Election Center. It's a piece about why Paul is so popular on the net and yet isn't getting the votes. What do you think?

A message to all you Ron Paul volunteers: Well done and keep up the good work. Don't be too disappointed. I know 10% and 8% are below aspirations for Iowa and NH - you can't say 'expectations' because this is uncharted territory. However, these numbers are way ahead of anything that would have been achieved without the suport of you, the volunteers. Don't lose heart and keep up the good work. You're heading for Michigan with a lot of experience under your belt!
