Ron Paul was born August<BR/>20, 1935 in Pittsburgh , PA. His father, Howard, was the son of a German<BR/>immigrant. Ron's parents owned a dairy just outside of Pittsburgh , and this<BR/>is where he learned about hard work, integrity, and the value of real money.<BR/><BR/>Ron is the third of five sons, all born to Howard and Margaret Paul during<BR/>The Great Depression. It is awesome to note that all five sons are college<BR/>educated, and have had success in their own careers ranging from a Ph.D. in<BR/>mathematics, theology, and accounting. My grandfather, as most of you know,<BR/>is a medical doctor and graduated from Duke University Medical School .<BR/><BR/>>From an early age, my grandfather delivered newspapers, worked alongside his<BR/>father and uncle in the family dairy, and worked at a local drugstore. In<BR/>college, he delivered laundry, mail, and managed to make amazing grades at<BR/>Gettysburg College in Gettysburg , PA.<BR/><BR/>After attending medical school, my grandfather joined the U.S. Air Force and<BR/>became a flight surgeon. He joined around the time of the Cuban Missile<BR/>Crisis and served out of San Antonio, Texas . His love of his time in Texas,<BR/>and the lack of snow was a lot of the reason why he and my grandmother<BR/>relocated to Lake Jackson , Texas in 1968.<BR/><BR/>My grandfather has always believed that The United States must be ready to<BR/>defend itself and protect its borders. He still very much believes this<BR/>today!<BR/><BR/>In a very long and rewarding career as an obstetrician, my grandfather<BR/>delivered over 4,000 babies, many of whom stop him on a regular basis and<BR/>say, "You delivered me." Just recently, in a trip to a local restaurant, a<BR/>woman stopped my grandfather and said, "You delivered all three of my<BR/>children, and I just want you to know I love you, and support all that you<BR/>do." That is always very neat to see people stop him and thank him.<BR/><BR/>Frustrated and tired of the economic instability and inflation of the<BR/>1970s, my grandfather entered politics with the goal of restoring<BR/>government to its proper role and size. He also believed very firmly that<BR/>our monetary system was becoming unstable, and we needed to restore our<BR/>currency to the true value spelled out in The Constitution.<BR/><BR/>After years of hard work and uphill battles against people who often would<BR/>not listen, it is finally time to allow Ron Paul to be heard. We had better<BR/>listen before it is too late!<BR/><BR/>Most kids have memories of their grandfathers on fishing trips or throwing<BR/>the baseball. I have many memories of boat rides, swimming pools, and family<BR/>gatherings too. However, some of my greatest memories of my grandfather are<BR/>in the living room at his house watching Crossfire with him, interrupting<BR/>his concentration to ask a question, and trying to understand what all those<BR/>people were saying. He was always patient. He would mute the television and<BR/>explain to me what the topic was, and what the true Constitutional view was<BR/>on the topic at hand.<BR/><BR/>Many people think of their elected representatives as aloof, hard to<BR/>reach, and unapproachable. My grandfather is the exact opposite. He is a<BR/>regular guy who loves his family, plays with his grandchildren, and attends<BR/>football and baseball games to cheer on his kids and grandkids just like<BR/>countless other Americans.<BR/><BR/>Vote for the only candidate who will bring limited government, fiscal<BR/>responsibility, and integrity back to the greatest nation in the history of<BR/>civilization.
