Product Description
This Much Is True: You Have Been Lied To.
- The government is expanding.
- Taxes are increasing.
- More senseless wars are being planned.
- Inflation is ballooning.
- Our basic freedoms are disappearing.
The Founding Fathers didn't want any of this. In fact, they said so quite clearly in the Constitution of the United States of America. Unfortunately, that beautiful, ingenious, and revolutionary document is being ignored more and more in Washington. If we are to enjoy peace, freedom, and prosperity once again, we absolutely must return to the principles upon which America was founded. But finally, there is hope . . .
In THE REVOLUTION,Texas congressman and presidential candidate Ron Paul has exposed the core truths behind everything threatening America, from the real reasons behind the collapse of the dollar and the looming financial crisis, to terrorism and the loss of our precious civil liberties. In this book, Ron Paul provides answers to questions that few even dare to ask.
Despite a media blackout, this septuagenarian physician-turned-congressman sparked a movement that has attracted a legion of young, dedicated, enthusiastic supporters . . . a phenomenon that has amazed veteran political observers and made more than one political rival envious. Candidates across America are already running as "Ron Paul Republicans."
"Dr. Paul cured my apathy," says a popular campaign sign. THE REVOLUTION may cure yours as well.

It's worth spending a couple hours to better understand the candidate who contributed the most substance to the '08 election debates. The sheer size of the constantly expanding Federal Government will eventually strangle this country. I only hope the correction, when it comes, is moderate. Ron Paul deserves credit for trying to pull America in that direction.
However, he is not a great writer. Beyond that, some of his historical examples and policy prescriptions are shallow and unconvincing.
A MUST READ FOR EVERY AMERICAN May 16, 2008

This book is amazing. It will change your view of America's role in the world - just by factual evidence. There is evidence in this book that is hardley ever talked about that is absolutely astounding. FIVE STARS.
Logic of Liberty and Freedom May 16, 2008

In just a few pages Ron Paul makes so much sense of our economy, monetary system, and how people have come to expect nothing different. It's such an easy read that it should be a book everyone in this country should read. Bottom line of his message not a new concept, only a lost and forgotten one. Liberty. A concern of you, me, your neighbor, their childern, our children. The constitution was designed with the intention of the people limiting the government, not the government limiting the people. As we have seen in our lifetime, our government has only become bigger and bigger. This "revolution" is no revolution at all. It's nothing more than the attempt bring the constitution to the forefront of our government, as it was meant to be. Why should our generation and future ones have to live through struggles of times past? Our forefathers already did that. They went through the pains of dictatorships, and fiat monetary systems, etc. Thats what the revolution was. To break free. Thus they created the constitution and the bill of rights. In the last 100 or so yrs our government has slowly attacked the constitution, eroding it to nothing more than an outdated sheet of paper. It's the only thing that protects us. It gives us our liberty. Without it, we will become slaves. Ron Paul shares so much of his education in the short book that it is hard not respond to the message. Freedom.
If you care about liberty and freedom, it's a must read... Incredible. May 16, 2008

Ron Paul is a true American hero. I don't want to minimize this statement - anyone who tirelessly works to let people be free, just as they were when they were born, is a hero.
That is what America was founded on. The land of the free. We're far from that today.
Ron Paul doesn't want to run anyone's life. He doesn't want to see American citizens under a police state, taxed to death, drugged from birth, lied to constantly, and working for paper money that, overnight, could become completely worthless.
The Revolution: A Manifesto is brilliant.
Ron Paul clearly explains individual liberty, the concept of freedom and self-reliance, examples of corruption in our political system, views and stances on a variety of important subjects from the position of freedom and individual liberty, and he spends a bit of extra time (thanks Ron!) on Money and the Economy.
It's impossible to separate Money from life, no matter how many times people are told "it's just money". Well, Money is important, and one of the rules for money is that it holds its store of value. Or maybe even grows in value! We deserve SOUND MONEY. Right now, we have "Money" that is disintegrating before our very eyes. Ten years ago, about a dollar bought a gallon of gas. Now about 4 dollars buys a gallon of gas. Ron Paul explains why savers of these fraudulent "dollars" are constantly penalized for saving them.
Education is key in these matters, please pass along the word to your fellow Americans. I personally believe that education in these matters will make or break the movement to restoring freedom in America.
A book everyone should read... May 15, 2008

This is a great book. It puts current issues in a new light- one we don't receive from the mainstream media. I wish everyone would read this book.
