The perfect question for RON PAUL!? (a question for ATSers)

I know this thread will be a little short, however, I wanted to pic your brain ATS. Congressman Ron Paul is speaking today in Mason City Iowa at the local high school, and I've decided that I'm going to attend. My question to everybody is a simple one. If you could ask the senator one question what would it be? I'll be happy to pick the one I feel is the most pertinent and post the response later on today (assuming I get the chance to ask). I think what I'll do is just ask the question that everybody tends to agree on. Thanks and I'm looking forward to everybody's posts!

Gotta do my morning workout. I'll check back in 45 mins!

Ron Paul is a Congressman, not a Senator.

Whatever you ask, don't call him Senator Paul.

Ask what is his plan for overcoming the overwhelming political and monetary pressures he will encounter in DC.

My Q: Ron Paul if you get the nomination and go head on with Obama, what would be your position if Obama made a declaration of war with another country to stay in office.

Something along that line yes his message will win the republican nominee but if he goes head to head with Obama he is going to have to change his tactics because Obama could very much well pull a fast one.

I'd ask 'who is really in charge here' shortly before being dragged kicking and screaming to be shot in the head like a horse.

Dr. Paul, if you were elected President and initiated draconian debt reduction measures to help ease the financial burder for our posterity what assurances can you give that you will preserve liberty and not sacrifice individual or national sovereignty to facilitate those ends?

"When did you become a Senator, Representative Paul?"

Seriously though, my question would be, "Dr. Paul, how much of your proposed solution to the socioeconomic crisis that this nation faces do you believe you will actually be able to accomplish when you become President of the United States, and how do you plan on overcoming the opposition that you will likely face from the Congress? For example, do you believe that you will be able to end the empire building of previous administration's war policies and bring an end to the Federal Reserve's stranglehold on the American economy, and how exactly do you plan on doing so?"

First and foremost I apologize for my ignorance about Congressman Paul super fail Second thanks everyone for your replies. The general theme so far seems similar to the first post of "Ask what is his plan for overcoming the overwhelming political and monetary pressures he will encounter in DC." (as well as calling him by his correct name). Would you all agree?

This is actually very interesting. I didn't know he was being funded by military contractors. You think his stance on foreign relations would have them changing their minds about that.

Ask him how he plans to get anything done as President when he has only been able to get ONE of his sponsored bills passed since 1997???

Yes...that's right...the "savior" of our nation has only been able to pass ONE of his sponsored bills in over a decade.

Oh, and that one bill he got passed.

To authorize the Administrator of General Services to convey a parcel of real property in Galveston, Texas, to the Galveston Historical Foundation.

Two of the most important topics if you ask me and I like the way it's phrased. Thanks! So far I can see myself asking this.

I can totally see that. Congress typically kind of has a "roll my eyes" approach whenever he speaks on anything. Especially considering how he can't even get proper attention from the media. But I don't see myself being able to ask him this (unless everyone seems to agree and really wants me to bring it up).

Ask him if he would oppose the teaching of creationism (ID and the rest of the attempts to sneak creationism into the school curriculum) and support the accurate teaching of evolution as well as scientific explainations of the universe in schools.

That's still one more than Obama

Lol I was wondering if he really wanted me to ask that or if he was just making a statement lol It's sad how you really just can't have a simple conversation anymore (especially online). Well thanks for your contribution so far it's #1 on my list.

Ron Paul is not supported by the military-industrial complex, and he is not a Senator. It is not the US Army, or Air Force, or Navy that supports him, it is the individuals in the armed forces that like his anti-war stance.
You should read about Ron Paul, he is different than the rest.
As for the question,
"How did you stay scandal free for decades in a swamp of special interests and rampant corruption?"

Hmmm seems a bit personal and I don't know if he'd really focus too hard on that subject if he indeed did win (he'd have MANY other things on his plate before that crumb). Personally I think ANY school curriculum today is flawed and you'd be better off teaching your kids yourself but that's just my opinion. But I'll ask if that's what the people want!

End The Fed

Can our congress use legislation to Evict The Fed? Permanently?

They were, in fact, legislated into existence. Why can't we legislate them OUT of existence?

Congressional Greenbacks \o/ FtW!!!!!11
