Common Sense: Not so common! 
What a book! Here you have the solution to the country's most pressing issues- from the man who has more often than not been the only voice of sanity and reason in all of the District of Colombia. Dr. Ron Paul traces the country's ills, the causes, and prescribes the cures. Very informative with good background on each subject, the book doesn't get bogged down with intimate details of how each government department and bureaucrat should function. Now if only more would listen. This book is a great primer for those interested in liberty, or simply an outstanding and eloquent overview of what is wrong with our country today for those well-read in this area.
Ron Paul should be President!
Ron Paul should be President! No doubt in my mind after reading this book. Buy the book and find out for yourself, it's definitely worth the money and time spent!
A Challenge to Long-Held Views
Someone recommended reading this, and I'm glad - Revolution presents so many challenges to current perspectives on government that it forces a re-evaluation of one's world view. While it's impossible to present a full school of thought in such a short piece, Ron Paul raises so many issues that it makes me question how our nation has been run for so long.
Again, I see this book as only an introduction to the Libertarian perspective, but it's got my interest. I've still got a lot of questions, and I have to research some of the assertions presented... but it's raised a lot issues that people need to hear.
Thank you!!
As a Father of 3 small boys....you give me hope. My boys will know who you are and why I am next to you on that wall of liberty and freedom fighting back.
Viva la Revolution!
Dr. Paul's Manifesto has made me much more open minded, and has exposed me to a great deal of truth.
I am now going to pursue my desire for the truth by reading more texts by authors such as Dr. Paul, Mises, Rothbard, Hayek, etc.
Great book, I hope that all Americans read it one day.

There is no doubt that Ron Paul has become the enchanter of the disenchanted, but the best way to understand him is to take a quick look at his voting record. He has never voted to raise taxes. He has never voted for an unbalanced budget. He has never voted to raise congressional pay. He has never taken a government-paid junket. He has never voted to increase the power of the executive branch. He voted against the Patriot Act. He voted against regulating the Internet. He voted against the Iraq war. In fact, Congressman Paul's consistent voting record prompted one of his congressional colleagues to say, "There are few people in public life who, through thick and thin, rain or shine, stick to their principles. Ron Paul is one of those few." Operating from a unique strain of libertarian republicanism, Ron Paul's beliefs are refreshingly logical, even if you disagree with his principles. He is a Republican in the truest sense of the word, not at all what that word has grown to represent. At a recent Republican debate, the candidates were asked if they would go to war with Iran. All of them bumbled on about consulting lawyers, the cabinet, and their delegates. Ron Paul, outraged somewhat, stated quite simply, "This idea of consulting attorneys just baffles me. Why don't we just open up the Constitution and read it? You're not allowed to go to war without a declaration of war!" This is his call to arms for a nation that needs to change, but doesn't know how. Barry Goldwater defined a conservative in the 1960's, and with this manifesto, Ron Paul redefines it for the modern day.
