Dear family,

As a Marine, I want to share some truth with you today on Veteran's Day.

Dr. Ron Paul is the only candidate for president that takes our Constitution and his Oath of Office seriously, and will seriously restore America.

The military, who also take an Oath to defend our Constitution, are supporting Dr. Ron Paul with twice the contributions from active duty military than all the other Republican candidates combined, and much more than acting President Obama too (see chart below). http://i39.tinypic.com/xe4o6c.jpg In fact, Dr. Paul's top contributors are United States Air Force, United States Navy (USMC is a Dept.), and United States Army.

Dr. Paul served as a Captain in the military himself, and was a flight surgeon in the United States Air Force.

The so called wars we are fighting in the Middle East are illegal, as they are in violation of our own Constitution. By law, our Congress is supposed to declare war and then with congressional support fight the war to the best of our ability, win the war, and then come home as soon as possible. Yet, the 'war' in Afghanistan is now the longest war in United States history. The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have now exceeded the cost of World War II, and are bleeding our country to death. It was a mistake to go in, and now it's a mistake to stay.

Rather than wasting America's resources to blow up and rebuild other countries, our resources should be used to rebuild and strengthen our own. Dr. Paul's Plan to Restore America http://www.ronpaul2012.com/the-issues/r ... e-america/ will cut $1,000,000,000,000 from the federal budget in his first year alone, and balance the budget within his first presidential term.

Most the money our government is wasting is being spent overseas (see chart below). http://i40.tinypic.com/w8aibm.gif

These are things the establishment media is not going to tell you. The media makes money by supporting wars. However, one of the greatest and most decorated U.S. Marines in history, Major General Smedley Butler, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smedley_Butler the only person in history to ever receive two Medals of Honor, and Brevet Medal (USMC equivalent of MoH for officers), http://www.homeofheroes.com/valor/01_us ... revet.html learned the exact same things I have and wrote a book entitled, War is a Racket. http://www.amazon.com/War-Racket-Antiwa ... 922915865/

I hope you will join me in supporting Dr. Paul, and at least share this video with others today on Veteran's Day.

Sincerely,

Federal Budget
