Celebrated Harvard Alum Dr. Iris Mack Endorses Ron Paul for the Presidency

Internationally-recognized Harvard mathematician and derivatives whistleblower considers Dr. Paul’s many credentials as ample fodder for endorsement

LAKE JACKSON, Texas – 2012 Republican Presidential candidate Ron Paul announced today the endorsement of Iris Mack, the notable and accomplished applied mathematician, derivatives whistleblower and professor. The endorsement recently was made official on The Economic Policy Journal.

In endorsing the 12-term Congressman from Texas, Dr. Mack stated: “Ron Paul has some serious credentials: medical doctor, Air Force veteran, and author of several books detailing and predicting various economic issues and crises. As public official for many years, Dr. Paul has an excellent voting record as a fighter for liberty, and on a personal note he is a well-regarded family man.”

Continuing her praise, Dr. Mack cited Dr. Paul’s stance against President Obama’s civil liberties power-grab, saying, “Also, Ron Paul seems to be one of the few elected public servants who has come out against the NDAA Indefinite Detention Law – which Obama signed on New Year’s Eve deliberately when few were watching.”

“Taken together, there isn’t one thing I dislike about Ron Paul,” concluded Dr. Mack.

The campaign reacted to news of Dr. Mack’s endorsement positively.

“Iris Mack knows qualifications when she sees them so people following her work will take her word that Ron Paul is ideally suited to understand our nation’s challenges and provide winning solutions such as those found in his ‘Plan to Restore America.’ We appreciate Dr. Mack’s endorsement and anticipate that it will contribute to the strong showing we plan to in all stages of our 50-state campaign for the Republican nomination,” said Ron Paul 2012 National Campaign Chairman Jesse Benton.

Iris Mack, PhD, EMBA earned a Harvard doctorate in Applied Mathematics and a London Business School MBA. She is a former MIT professor. Dr. Mack is also a former Derivatives Quant/Trader who has worked in financial institutions in the U.S., London and Asia. Oxford-trained mathematician Dr. Paul Wilmott – founder of the Certificate of Quantitative Finance Program in London – has invited Dr. Mack to lecture on Energy Derivatives. He also invited her to join his team of quantitative financial markets bloggers on wilmott.com. This team of bloggers includes financial heavyweights such as the The Black Swan author Dr. Nassim Taleb; former Goldman Sachs Quant Dr. Emanuel Derman; and former derivatives trader Satyajit Das – recently featured in The Inside Job movie.

Dr. Mack is under contract with the Global Finance Division of John Wiley & Sons Publishers to write a book entitled “Energy Trading and Risk Management.” In addition, she conducts workshops on Quantitative Investments and High Frequency Trading for the Terrapinn Group “3-Day MBA Program” in Singapore, Hong Kong and London. She is also a Finance Subject Matter Expert for the Virginia Department of Education new online Financial Literacy program. Dr. Mack serves on a Research Advisory Board for the National Academy of Sciences. In addition, she serves on the Advisory Boards of the Women Mentor Women Foundation and the I Can Still Do That Foundation.

Dr. Mack founded Phat Math Inc. in Miami, Florida in 2003. A few years later in 2007 she and her colleagues at Phat Math launched their prototype mathematics edutainment social network PhatMath.com. Students in grades K-12 and College have access to free 24/7 online math homework help on PhatMath.com – named one of the Top 50 Social Sites for Educators and Academics and 25 Useful Networking Sites for Grad Students.

Dr. Mack has been an astronaut semifinalist, one of Glamour Magazine’s “Top 10” college students, one of Glamour’s “Top 10” working women, an investment banker, an energy trader, and an MIT professor. In addition, she was the second African-American female to earn a doctorate in Applied Mathematics from Harvard.

Ron Paul Nevada Team Names Additional ‘LDS for Ron Paul’ Nationwide Coalition Members

Featured Latter-day Saints brothers and sisters who support Dr. Paul hail from Churchill, Clark, and Washoe counties

HENDERSON, Nevada – The Ron Paul 2012 Presidential campaign announced today new members of its active “Latter-day Saints for Ron Paul” nationwide coalition.
Today’s additions hail from Churchill, Clark, and Washoe counties, all Nevada. The coalition members have pledged to spread the word about Dr. Paul among their respective communities, stakes, wards, and branches.

Fallon resident Janet Brown cites Dr. Paul as a “hero” for his principles stating, “I have followed his voting record for around 30 years, and he has consistently stood for the Constitution and truth. He exemplifies the same principles as former Church President Ezra Taft Benson. Ron Paul is a man that won’t compromise those principles and I believe he will go down in history as a great defender of liberty.”

Steve Sparti of Las Vegas wrote the Ron Paul Nevada campaign organization, describing the similarities between Dr. Paul and the late Church President David O. McKay.

“I support Ron Paul because he is the only candidate with real solutions to the real problems we face. He has consistently stood up to big government, fake conservatives, and his voting record shows that he stands by the Constitution and won’t vote to increase the debt,” said Mr. Sparti.

“Ron Paul knows that it is only through free agency and personal responsibility that America can and will be great,” added Mr. Sparti.

Alluding to Ron Paul’s ‘Plan to Restore America,’ Reno-area resident Michael Orton explained his support for Ron Paul, noting that he supports the 12-term Congressman from Texas in part “because he is fiscally responsible.” Dr. Paul, Mr. Orton said, “[h]as a good plan to get our country back on track and fix our economy. I think he is the only candidate who means what he says and will stick to his guns when elected. It is time to cut wasteful spending, restore responsibility to the White House, and get this country back to work.”

Concerning the active “Latter-day Saints for Ron Paul” coalition, this announcement follows the high-profile endorsements of Overstock.com President Jonathan Johnson, prominent author and chair of the Utah Tenth Amendment Center Connor Boyack, and that of Utah Republican Liberty Caucus Chair Darcy Van Orden.

All such announcements help present Ron Paul as the conservative alternative to Mitt Romney and demonstrate that no presidential candidate has a monopoly on this crucial western states voter segment.

As a function of this announcement, the above-mentioned persons are all members of the “Latter-day Saints for Ron Paul” nationwide coalition, in particular its Nevada steering committee.

As a first basic step, those wanting to join the “Latter-day Saints for Ron Paul” nationwide coalition should visit the official page by clicking here. Prospective members should also send an email to nvcoalitions@ronpaul2012.com, writing the coalition name in the subject line.

Santorum is Right that Gingrich and Romney Supported the Individual Mandate

So did Santorum.

From Pennsylvania’s The Morning Callnewspaper, May 2, 1994:

“Santorum and Watkins would require individuals to buy health insurance rather than forcing employers to pay for employee benefits.”

Via Drudge: "The Ron Paul Media Blackout Is Back On"

Submitted by Brian Middleton on Thu, 01/26/2012 - 16:57
Link from The Drudge Report.

"After a brief spike in interest, the mainstream media coverage of GOP candidate Ron Paul is back to nearly nothing, according to the Pew Research Center's Project for Excellence in Journalism. This week, less than 5 percent of all campaign stories focused on Paul, the lowest point since Dec. 11. when strong performances in Iowa and New Hampshire helped stoke some interest. Over the same period, Paul's performance in the polls has only improved, going from the single digits to 12.7 percent, putting him nearly even with Rick Santorum, in the current RealClearPolitics average."
