Ames, Ia. was the site of a large meet-up for Ron Paul fans as hundreds gathered to hear the congressional Texan and presidential candidate talk. His speech was titled, "Limited Government and the Constitution," and he delivered it in the Sun Room of the Memorial Union at Iowa State University.

He told the audience that "our foreign policy ... our presence around the world, our empire is costing us nearly a trillion dollars every year." Paul, a fiscal conservative, spoke about freedom, the Constitution, drug laws, minority incarceration, Cuba, income tax, the federal reserve, and fiat currency. Many lines brought cheering and applause particularly when, regarding foreign policy, he said, "I don't want to police the world."

After his speech Paul sat down with reporters for forty minutes answering questions on drug and energy policies, terrorism, and his presidency. He denied that he would run as an independent candidate.

In this video, he talks about his first action as president and Commander-in-Chief of the military. He also discusses some motivations for the rise in the price of oil, the motivations of terrorists, and the private contractors and sub-contractors in Iraq.

Some Ron Paul supporters drove five hours to see their candidate. In this video, Ken Van Doren of Mauston, Wisconsin, talks about the freedom movement and his long-time admiration for Dr. Ron Paul.

He talks about the consistency of Paul's message and the reasons he belongs to the movement.

Van Doren was one of many from out-of-state. Pennsylvania (Paul's birthplace) and New Hampshire newspapers covered the event, as well as some national press.

Dear Apathetic American,

If you learn about Ron Paul and research his candidacy and positions, yet refuse to commit your vote to him, you're a certified douchebag and a useless waste of human garbage. Just wanted you to know. Thanks.

Sincerely, OZH.

P.S. And please, kindly don't vote, stick your finger up your ass, and keep your eyes glued to the idiot box, retard.
