		<description>Dr. Paul,

Your honest public service has already earned you a place in history. However, you now have a chance to earn your eternal place in history among the greatest politicians the United States will ever know. You are closer to abolishing the Federal Reserve than anyone has ever been. I will continue to follow your progress with my fingers crossed.

Please do not fail. The cost of failure is too great.

Respectfully,
James Woodworth</description>

		<description>In real life, wealth erodes. Properties decline, food spoils and rots, cars rust, etc. Money is based on these plus the promise of people to work to earn wealth for themselves and others. And people are notoriously unpredictable in their ability to work to create wealth. 

If real goods rot and the promises of real people in crating wealth are not reliable, it is very hard to expect money not to do the same. 

But having said that, stabilizing the value of money has value if and only if governments and banks cannot arbitrarily dilute it by creating it by fiat. Not going to happen...</description>

		<description>Hello Joe,

You are very right, the only person to trust is Jesus, our Lord and savior.  I am thankful to have fellow brothers out there that are seeing the evil that exists within our very own country.  Please remember who the prince of this world is.  He exists is very high places and controls much of the world, including the US.  Christians, as well as the majority of the population are so quick to target people who believes in conspiracies, even when they exist.  However, anyone who does a little research knows conspiracies are very real just like the creation of the Federal Reserve.  Even getting people to believe that the Federal Reserve is the reason for the economic crisis is a difficult task.  I ask that you do some research on other conspiracies such as 9/11 and vitamin b17.  Thank you.

My people perish for lack of knowledge-Hosea 4:6

		<description>The only problem I have with using gold as a form of currency is this:

It is ONLY shiny metal.

The human race has come so far in the last few thousand years, don&#039;t you think it’s time we stopped placing so much value on shiny objects? (Including gold, silver, diamonds, jewels, etc) Gold and diamonds have great industrial uses but it is time we stopped placing so much value on them. Place great value on gold if you want but try this: Explain to a child why gold and diamonds are so valuable. Explain why a handful of shiny objects are worth more than a house, a pantry full of food, or a mode of transportation. Explain to them why celebrities (which are overpaid in the first place) wear millions of dollars worth of diamonds and gold while there are people starving on this world. You&#039;ll find it’s extremely hard to explain to them without sounding like a complete idiot and saying &quot;well it’s shiny and pretty&quot; 

There will come a day when people realize this and the value of gold and diamonds will plummet. I advise everyone to take all their &quot;precious shiny objects&quot; and sell them while they&#039;re still worth something. Then start a college fund for your kid, feed/clothe the needy, or just try to get out of some debt or buy some groceries.

Besides this gold issue, I agree with Ron Paul on a lot of issues and hope he has a better run in 2012.</description>

		<description>Dear Mr. Paul,
I truly hope this message reaches you personally, as I represent the sentiments of many others in my area and across our once-great country.  

Historically, as I&#039;m sure you are aware, real and effective leadership most often came in the form of those reluctant to accept the task.  You mentioned the term &quot;truth&quot; in a recent response to statements made by Mr. Bush regarding our current economic situation. Interestingly, another necessary quality of real leadership is that of understanding pure truth, and frankly...having the fortitude to implement it.  More often than not, other &quot;factors&quot; begin to muddy the waters when decisions are being made at a governmental level.  In most cases, it seems, truth becomes an idealistic and even archaic notion bantered about by college professors and other theorists.  Consequently, it is relegated to those realms until its undying reality  makes itself known once again.  To add salt to the wound, the timing of such realizations is often the proverbial &quot;too late&quot;. It&#039;s time for us to accept the truth, and I believe most of us out here are capable of it, without being bottle-fed by the government at the cost of our freedom, children, souls and livelihood. 

Being 35 years old, a professional engineer, Eagle Scout, father and husband, town commissioner and son and grandson of American war veterans, I&#039;m what you might call knowingly hesitant to accept the &quot;promises&quot; of any person who would be termed a politician.  This attitude is not so much grounded in cynicism as it is in common sense and the mindset of our founding fathers.  Two plus two always equals 4.  Anyone (including the government) who attempts to convince us otherwise is a liar and most likely a thief.  This unfortunately seems to have been the modus operandi of politics and American government throughout most of my lifetime.  In this greatest of nations, I have tried my best to use the brain that God gave me to make our society better, in my own small ways.  I honestly believe most in our society do this on a regular basis. 

Considering my admitted skepticism and eternal optimism, I&#039;m not concerned with what you would do as president nearly as much as what you HAVE DONE as a congressman.  The known aspects of your personal life, marriage and family, career, rather outspoken views and plain old grit are what make you a true representative of the people.  Considering this, I urge you...implore you even, more now than ever, to please reconsider helping our nation rebuild itself to its former health.  

My concern is for my God, my wife, my family and my country.  God can handle his own, and will.  In the meantime, please help us, out here in America. We need you Dr. Paul.

Respectfully Submitted,
John Towery
