Legislation Sponsored By Ron Paul That Has Been 'Passed'

. . . perpetrated by the media, the educational establishment and, lest we forget, the politicians themselves. They think it is the object of our representatives to "pass laws," apparently on the assumption that we need ever more of them. It is also, and more importantly, a representatives jobs to REFRAIN from passing laws, and to oppose needless or, more typically, harmful legislation. We need liberty, and to obey the Constitution that we already have. No offense, but your brother-in-law is not alone in his confusion. You have to educate people; you have to wake them up.

Don't waste time or money with frauds Obama, McCain, Nader or Barr. Support the Constitution - join the Campaign For Liberty! http://www.campaignforliberty.com/ A return to the Constitution is more important than voting for the evil of 4 lessers.

thanks for the help.

107th H Amend to HR 4546 - Amending a spending bill to dictate that no funding from this bill be used to support the Internation Criminal Court, passed 264-162

108th H.R. 154 - To exclude certain properties from the John H. Chafee Coastal Barrier Resources System

109th H CON RES 448 - Congratulates the space shuttle on return to space.

I'm thinking that's it for his second stint in congress...I'll do a little digging and see if he was any more successful in the 1980's.

Not exactly great examples of bills to promote freedom, but more important are the hundreds or thousands of bills buried in commitees because congress is afraid to vote no on them.

Don't we have enough rules and regulations in this country? As a general rule, the less legislation a politicans passes, the better the politician, in my opinion.

It's much easier to pass legislation that decreases liberty than to pass legislation than removes prior legislation that decreased liberty.

are that they don't benefit anybody but you, the individual. No one paid their way for the bill and if it takes away from any of the lobbyists in which the congress commits whoredom, then the bill will naturally fail. That's what happens all of the time and why we need to get rid of the crooks in congress and their johns, the lobbyists.

This is an interesting question. I don't know real details on this matter. I know wikipedia summarizes his legislative history. However, what may be more important is legislation that he has sponsored that has not be passed or even brought for a vote. I do know that has one of the highest rate of proposed legislation. Most of it just doesn't go out of committee. So on the one hand you could argue he is one of the hardest working and dedicated policymakers. On the other hand, you could argue he is not very successful. I would argue that in a funny way legislation that he sponsored that has been passed is somewhat irrelevant. In other words, it wouldn't make sense that he has a high rate of approved legislation as his approach and ideology is in direct conflict with the norm of the system. It's the longevity of his determination and fight that outweighs the success of his actual capability as a policymaker.
