Well mate, I was waiting with the greatest anticipation for his reply to that question, as I've never heard him break it down as how exactly he planned on overcoming his opposition in the congress to accomplish his goals. I must say, I'm a bit disappointed. However, I would really like to see his comment on the Defense Authorization Act. Which video, and at what time on said video does he address that issue?

Mr senator , how would you pay back the military corporation owners that are funding you now ?
Ron Paul
Ron Paul for Congress Cmte $500,000
US Army $24,503
US Air Force $23,335
US Navy $17,432
Mason Capital Management $14,000
Candidate Comparison: Top Contributors 2012 Cycle
OP if you ask this question you will look like an idiot and waste your question because those are not military contract donations, they're donations from people that consider their employers the military (aka soldiers).
hmdphantom is either stupid, misinformed or trolling. I have no idea which one.

Hello again, hmd. From OpenSecrets.org:
The organizations themselves did not donate , rather the money came from the organizations' PACs, their individual members or employees or owners, and those individuals' immediate families. Organization totals include subsidiaries and affiliates.
Total Raised: $12,623,422...
Individual Contributions - $12,122,816 (96%)
- Small Individual Contributions - 6,075,354 (48%)
- Large Individual Contributions - 6,114,372 (48%)
- PAC Contributions $0 (0%)
You can browse through the tabs at the top here to look at Paul's various breakdowns, but as with the 2008 election cycle, almost all of Paul's support comes from individual donors as compared to big PACs as with some of the more mainline candidates, and once again members of the military are among his biggest support. I'd imagine they're tired of having THEIR lives put on the line for no good reason by the rest of us, heh.

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?
Ok , maybe you wonder , but it is the most
respectful reply recently I received.
Thank you for the information.
Keep on answering like this and try to teach
your fellow American members.
