Congressman and former Presidential Candidate Ron Paul is the leading advocate for freedom in our nation’s capital. As a member of the U.S. House of Representatives, Dr. Paul tirelessly works 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. Dr. Paul never votes for legislation unless the proposed measure is expressly authorized by the Constitution.
In the words of former Treasury Secretary William Simon, Dr. Paul is the “one exception to the Gang of 535″ on Capitol Hill. He makes it clear that his principles will never be compromised, and they never are.”
On the Issues: Audit the Federal Reserve, Our Money, Taxes, National Defense, Border Security, Civil Liberties, Health Care, Abortion, Education, War on Drugs, Global Warming
I’ve lived from the last year of the Great Depression and long enough to see the beginning of the Greater Depression and I’m sure that our Federal Government caused both of them. How much trouble would it be to eliminate ALL Federal Government except The Original Constitution and the first Ten Amendments?? Let the House and the Senate become part-time jobs and meet one week twice a year for the business that requires Federal action.(I’ve noticed that when you all are not in Session that everything seems to go much better.) Then leave everthing else to the States and the People. I think that will be the only way the USA will survive. I don’t know what the “FALL-OUT” would be but I’m sure we could survive that too. I firmly believe “Less Government is Best Government”. Thanks

Tyler Hall is probably black, otherwise he probably would not have mentioned that he bought a house in a “white” community. That is probably his problem. The city needs to get on the stick and enact a law that limits the number of residents based on a constitutional basis such as persons per square foot or number of bedrooms. He didn’t say how many hooligan brats these two “twenty-something” couples had rampaging through the neighborhood. There is more to this story than disclosed in Mr. Hall’s post.
BTW, isn’t this whole thread and the replies off topic?

What does being black have anything to do with anything? There was one “little hooligan brat” but he was only 1, so he wasn’t rampaging all over the neighborhood. The city code enforcement said we were not doing anything illegal and did an inspection on our house to see if we met occupancy requirements. They said we have room to legally have ten people living with us. We only had four. Everyone had there own room. Then our neighbors who are the city attorney and the city alderman went and complained to the mayor. And thats when the city started to get ugly. For a while the code enforcement supervisors and the inspectors were dealing with city on our behalf , that is until: the city started firing people. My wife and I have done everything we could to be very nice about this and to do everything legally. We even put our friends on the deed to our house as full owners. The city still said we had people living with us illegally. We did renovations and landscaping to the outside of our house to keep up appearances with the other neighborhood homes, so as not to offend our neighbors that way. We also never threw wild parties or were loud or rowdy. We even had one neighbor come and testify to that at a city council hearing. sorry for getting off topic, but I was hoping that maybe, someway, somehow, someone like Ron Paul might be able to help us.

“The love of many will grow cold.” (bible) This means those who are loving will be learning how to deal with those who are not. I say, let your heart/love lead. Sometimes non-violent, non-compliance is the right thing to choose as a course of action. Being brave and talking directly to the one who made the complaint might be another.
Those who are sane understand there are many who have lost their rational minds and are incapable of logical reasoning. They are guided by something else that is corrupting their actions and soul…. money, status, fear, greed, power, control over others…
There is an energetic collision that takes place between the two until love, understanding and compassion finds a way.

Thanks for the links to those other sites. Thanks for the advice and comments also. They were very helpful. Just to let you know my wife and I did try and talk to our neighbors personally. They wouldn’t have it. My wife and I even made Banana bread for all of our neighbors and tried to go door to door and talk to them that way. We did get to meet some extremely nice neighbors next to us; who have been our saving grace in this whole situation. They are the ones who came and testified that we are not loud, unruly, and do not throw wild parties.
Thanks again for all of your help and advice.

Paul, do you want to come tell me how many people can live in my house?
“The city needs to get on the stick and enact a law that limits the number of residents based on a constitutional basis such as persons per square foot or number of bedrooms.”
??WTF?? Are you familiar with freedom?

Tyler Hall, screw gods. You are the ones who helped your friends, not a god. That said, I believe that a blanket prohibition against unrelated individuals living together has been found unconstitutional in every jurisdiction it has been tested. That hoax has been pushed into law to eliminate group homes, sober livings, discriminate against fornicating singles and gay couples, and here in California, because illegals cram 30 people into 2 bedroom apartments. Laws that permit landlords to charge more for additional occupants and laws limiting the number of inhabitants based on square footage, etc., have been upheld. See a civil rights or real estate attorney in your jurisdiction.

Dear Tyler and Valerie Hall, You are kind Americans to help others that now have nothing. Our current government and financial institutions will not do the same. I think you should call 60 Minutes and have your storey told nation wide. Possibly you should have an attorney from out of town draw up legal adoption papers. Then this couple would not be”unrelated” to you they would be legal family. The city government of Kankakee, Illinois should be ashamed . Possibly they would prefer that your friends live out in the cold and get on the social services available in town. I always think of the words to the song “America, America, God shine thy grace on thee. And CROWN THY GOOD WITH BROTHERHOOD from sea to shining sea.” You are an example of the brotherhood that more Americans should adopt

My name is Tyler Hall and my wife (Valerie) and I bought a foreclosure home in January 2009 in a wealthy, retired, and predominantly white part of town. My wife and I are neither wealthy nor retired, in fact we are only 25. Shortly, after buying our home we had some friends who lost their jobs and could not afford a place to live. So, we let them move in with us (for free:no rent, no lease agreement, no seperate apartments). The city then informed us that it was illegal to have unrelated people living in our house. My wife and I started having meetings with code and building officials, started going to city council and planning meetings, and eventually hired a lawyer. Here we are now over a year later and we have found out that almost every political official in our city of Kankakee, Illinois is corrupt. From the city planner, council board members, the mayor, judges and even the first attorney we hired. It seems as if everyone is in “bed” together. My husband and I have been able to get absolutely no where with this and we are still facing fines, discrimination and corruption by the city government in all areas. We can’t get building permits and the city government singles us out to jump through every hoop imagineable to get anything done. It is to the point where our local lawyer does not want to help us anymore for fear of never being able to work in this town again. Please Help! What can we do?
God Bless
Tyler Hall

Sir,
Please, oh please run again and take back our country. You are my only hope at the moment. I am 71 and grew up in this country. I want my 35 year old son to have a country he can be proud of. You are the man who is principled and could lead us out of this evil era. Please consider running again. Thank you, Barb Gillette
Highly rated. What do you think?
