THIS is a must watch video for the politically disenfranchised, for those who have lost hope in our country, have disdain for the status quo and those who want to see change.

Ron Paul knew about the Housing Collapse in 2001

He has made his stand by not receiving money from lobbyist and corporations.

Knows that our Constitution is being completely disregarded by the current status quo.

Wants to end the Federal Reserve, which only serves as the rich parents who replenishes wall street’s bank accounts and that’s only a few tidbits.

If we all give him a chance, we may all see the America we all want.

Also, his middle name is Ernest, I think we could use a little more Ernesty in the White House.
