Ron Paul For President!

Ron Paul, a nine-term Texas congressman who describes himself as a lifelong libertarian, formally announced his candidacy for the Republican presidential nomination today.

Appearing on C-SPAN’s “Washington Journal,” Paul said he was at first reluctant to run, but that “a lot of people want to hear my message and I’m willing to deliver it.” ~The Houston Chronicle

This is very good news.  Here’s the video of the announcement.  Here is Ron Paul’s campaign website.  His CNN interview is here.  In that interview, he says of the Iraq war, “We should come home as quickly as possible.”  Amen to that.
