Ron Paul Speaks launches in March

Roger Marsh and Philip Haddad recently signed with Globe Pequot Press to produce Ron Paul Speaks, a mass market paperback with hundreds of quotes from Republican Presidential Candidate Ron Paul. The book will be available nationwide April 1, 2008.

Texas Congressman Ron Paul is picking up increasingly broad support across the nation – winning several straw polls, on-line debate polls, and recently set a 24-hour fundraising record of $4.2 million. Paul’s message of individual freedom resonates with people of extremely varied backgrounds, unlike anything seen in recent history. He continues to pick up voters, funds, and media attention while other candidates seem to level off or drop out. Meetup groups across the country, on-line social networking sites and Students For Paul clubs on college campuses continue to spread the word.

Ron Paul Speaks is a collection of direct quotes from Ron Paul print media interviews, Web and television interviews, and from his speeches in Congress. Each quote is dropped in under a topic and the many topics are organized alphabetically covering a wide range of material based on his beliefs.

As a congressman, Paul’s voting record is unique. He never voted to raise taxes. He never voted for an unbalanced budget. He never voted for a federal restriction on gun ownership. He never voted to raise congressional pay. He never took a government-paid junket. He never voted to increase the power of the executive branch. He returns a portion of his annual congressional office budget to the U.S. treasury every year.

The quotes will cover his work as a member of the U.S. House of Representatives, where he has worked for limited constitutional government, low taxes, free markets, and a return to sound monetary policies. He is known among his congressional colleagues and his constituents for his consistent voting record – and the well earned nickname, Dr. No.

Ron Paul was born and raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He graduated from Gettysburg College and the Duke University School of Medicine, before serving as a flight surgeon in the U.S. Air Force during the 1960s. He and his wife Carol moved to Texas in 1968, where he began his medical practice in Brazoria County. As a specialist in obstetrics/gynecology, Dr. Paul has delivered more than 4,000 babies. He and Carol, who reside in Lake Jackson, Texas, are the parents of five children and have 17 grandchildren.

Paul served in Congress during the late 1970s and early 1980s. In 1984, he voluntarily relinquished his House seat and returned to his medical practice.

Dr. Paul returned to Congress in 1997 to represent the 14th congressional district of Texas. He presently serves on the House Committee on Financial Services and the House Committee on Foreign Affairs. Congressman Paul introduces numerous pieces of substantive legislation each year. He ran as a presidential candidate in 1988 under the Libertarian Party.
