Got a Question for Dr. Paul? Ask it here!
Adams Community Television in Gettysburg, PA will be interviewing Dr. Paul on his trip back to Pennsylvania. Correspondent Mark Wherley writes:
We are in the process of developing the questions for the interview and though that it would be a good ideal to get some question from Dr. Paul's followers.
So - lets hear your questions! What would you ask Dr. Paul if you had the chance? Post them below and I'll pass them along to ACTV.

On secession...
If an island like Puerto Rico or Lanai (or the entire state of Hawaii, for that matter) were to vote for independence from US rule, how would you react as "President Paul"?
Ron Paul's Passport
I was just wondering if Ron Paul's passport was also scrutinized when it was revealed that McCain, Obama & Clinton's passports had been rifled through by the State Department. Gravel, Keyes were also not mentioned.
Was Ron Paul a "victim" of the State Department also? What is Ron Paul's take on this particular breach of security?

Federalism
Does the federal government have the power to protect people's freedom when it is violated by the states?
The bill of rights
Fortune Favors the Bold
has supremacy over any state law. That said, powers not specifically granted to the federal government by the constitution are reserved for the states.
If a state decides to ban gay marriage...
... has the state acted in violation of my civil liberties to marry whomever I choose, so long as I do not harm anyone else by doing so?
Legalize drugs vs speeding
I understand why you want to legalize drugs, but I wonder why you don't advocate legalizing speeding. If you say a person speeding is a potential threat to others, why wouldn't you also say a person on drugs is also a potential threat to others, and thus it is society's concern to outlaw both or permit both if the notion of "potential threat" is merely a way to take our freedoms. Do we have a natural right to drive 100 mph?
well
Fortune Favors the Bold
that would be a state issue, but if the roads are in the public domain, it is reasonable that public regulations apply. If roads were privatized, it would be up to the owners of the road to set contractual terms of use.
Amero
What if the Amero was gold, private and optional?
How Long?
In God We Trust!
Dear Congressman Ron Paul, After you are sworn in as our newest President (Yes!) exactly how long would it take for you to relieve scummy General Petraeus of his military duty ( give him the boot is what I want to say )?
Nice going Congressman, we love you and we are doing our all to get you in!
You already are my President!
Congressman Paul - Can you help bring back the silver standard?
Since the US Treasury will not allow competing currencies... Executive Order 11110 allows for the issue of US Notes backed by silver. Please propose legislation that will give Americans a chance to save with an asset backed currency instead of debt. Thank you for your courage!

Ron Paul Delegate
Dr. Paul, once agin thanks for all that have done and are still doing. I am delegate from the State of Washington headed to the State convention. out of the 12 delegates from my county we are sending 5 Ron Paul Delegates with the next three alternate delegates also being Ron Paul supporters.
My question is this: Do you feel it is getting to that time frame where maybe you and the campaign needs to get a little more agressive and start demanding a debate with McCain? There are alot of popular people in the media, that get noticed, speaking your message. Have you approached any of them for endorsements and shout out's for a debate? The majority of the public is unaware that McCain still has a challanger. We can blog on the internet until our fingers fall off but the majority of the public won't get wind of it and the MSM surely won't do it unless there is pressure coming from the public and those that stand out and get heard. (Jesse Ventura, Rosie Odonel, Willie Nelson, etc.)
Chemtrails
What can we do to stop the aerosol spraying at 30,000 feet? I see these non contrails everywhere and more frequently than ever before, like the operation has been ramped up. Bee's and Bats are dying at an alarming rate and nobody seems to be talking about this spraying of our environment. Dennis Kucinich mentions it in HB 2977 2001 and never again. This issue in my opinion trumps all others, if someone can get away with this then there is no hope we are doomed.
Being the lone "no" vote in Congress
Do you feel less alone now about having the sole dissenting vote in Congress that you did a couple of years ago?
Monetary Policy
Congressman Paul,
You advocate a return to the gold standard to stop the Federal Reserve from printing money out of thin air. Obviously something needs to be done. But according to the documentary film The Money Masters, Reagan's gold commission reported that the U.S. Treasury didn't own any gold at all, it all belonged to the Federal Reserve. Also it's been suggested that since gold is such a limited commondity, the rich & powerful would simply buy up most of the gold, thus giving them most of the power anyway. Further it's been said that a gold standard would limit the potential growth of a thriving economy. Could you please address these points & reinforce what actions could immediately be taken to reduce the control of the central banking system? Thank you very much.

Debate McCain, love to see it!
I'd just like to say
your the only presidential candidate that made me cry, for my children, for my freedom, for my country, for the disgrace of American media.
Not only because you said everything I ever wanted to hear from a politician
but, because you meant it.

I NEED HELP
Hello Sir.
My name is Mike. I first found about your existance in September 2007. I now Consider myself an Independent/Libertarian. Thank you so very very much , I can't relay to you my feelings . I'm sorry for that.
I'm sending this email to ask for help. I need to know what to do to defend my family under the following impeding crysis.
Should I go load up on ammo and weapons, Should I start gathering data on how to live off the grid ? Should I start buying Solar technology ?
The now: Economic crysis. How do I survive and protect my family ? The future: How will we survive if the New World Order is created ?
If America falls, where can I go ? I think it would be a good idea to drop pamflets about how to fight the new world order. dunno , I have read all the way up on the Fed, I have read up on bilderberg, I finnaly figured out that skull and bones are part of the freemasonry.
I have learned that The Rothchilds and the Rockefellers own all Uranium on this planet. Any way There it is.
OK, Mike
Take a deep breath, and then when you resurface, tell me your questions. Then when you are at a calm place in your mind I can answer some of your questions. You need to know the power you hold within yourself, no one here on this site is at the mercy of anyone or anything, we would not be discussing anything if we thought we were, agreeded?
Got a Question for Dr. Paul? Ask it here!
Dr Paul
if you had to do ur presidential election over again, knowing what u know now, what, if anything would u do differently?
Knowing what we do about democracy
Do you really thing there is a chance to restore america to some semblance of sanity ?
Treason
What will be the percentage of government employees and elected officials tried for treason after you get elected?
Will anybody be left in Washington D.C.?
Can I be your Surgeon General? (I'm a biochemist and have a master's in nutrition - local junior college faculty).
Will your picture be on the new $100 gold coin?
When I visit the White House, can I stay in the Green Room?
Got a Question for Dr. Paul? Ask it here!
Dr. Paul,
How can we influence/coerce/entice the media to give a candidate such as yourself, fair/equitable/equal media coverage?
It seemed to many of your supporters that other candidates - like Chris Dodd, Giuliani, Bill Richardson, et al. - received MORE media coverage than you but LESS votes than you received. That seemed outrageous to many of ur supporters, myself included.
Ok, in a personal setting
I would ask how are you able to keep your professional, courteous demeanor in public, as in the debates, when you are surrounded by cretins. A more public question would be concerning the recent revelations concerning our corporation versus an actual government status, so now that we know what has taken place, how do we go about eradicating the situation?
Dr. Paul
Why are you so fucking awesome?
+
What do you think about the wall between Mexico and US, and what should be done about Ramos and Compean?
Do you see any similarities
Do you see any similarities between the currency crises and financial collapse of sweden 92-93 and the situation now facing the american economy.
Yeah I´d love his input on that...

Reclaiming Democracy
Citizens like Bev Harris from Seattle, who started www.blackboxvoting.org, have been, more or less, left with the role of being the elections tampering watchdogs throughout the last two presidential races. Many people are not even voting because of these feelings of disenfranchisement. People are aware of these abuses and criminal activity that companies like the Diebold Corp., VoteHere Inc., ES&S and Ciber have committed in the past. My question for Ron Paul is what kind of action will be taken to assure a fair and honest election process this year.
A Follow Up To The Patraeus Question??
Doctor Paul, I wish that you would have asked General Patraeus basically the same question that you did regarding consent to bomb Iran during the recent hearings on the hill but added a come back to his saying that he could not answer that particular question because it wasn't in his area of responsibility, to point out that he, like all of the other members of the American Arms Forces took an oath to protect and defend the United States Constitution not the Commander and Chief. And, that since this lawfull provision is plainly stated within the Constitution would he not therefore, refuse an order if it were in conflict with this Constitutional provision?? If he didn't refuse a direct order from the Commander and Chief to attack another country without proper consent as stated in the Constitution would that basically be the same criminal defense that German Officers aruged and lost with during the Nuremberg trails?
And finally, knowing that the President of the United States swore an oath on a Bible to also Protect and Defend the Constitution in front of the World and you knew that his order to bomb Iran was therefore unconstitutional, would you disobey that order?
You might want to submit that question for the record and send him a copy.
That's exactly what I would have asked arizona steve.
RP eluded to it, when he remarked that their response was disturbing, but he didn't go for the jugular. Great question and comment, IMO!

If he had but another minute or two it might have made the difference in saving the lives of many thousands of men, women and children.
Dr. Paul,
What was the highlight of the campaign trail over the past year for you? Also, did you find the trail to be a "grind", or did you enjoy stumping?
What can foreigners do to help?
What can foreigners do to help? I always feel as if i'm not doing hardly anything that helps other than rate youtubes.
Keep it up - that helps too!
I'm grateful that although you live outside the U.S. that you want to help our cause. I understand that you are limited in what you can do, and the fact that you have the desire to do even more for Dr. Paul is very inspirational. For now, I think that rating the videos on YouTube is a good way in itself to help.
Thanks for not only what you are doing, but also for wanting to do more. If I could afford it, I would get an airline ticket for you so you could join us for the Marches and for the Ralleys.

The Voting System, and the War's Illigitimacy
Dr. Paul,
How come there is very little questioning and opposition when it comes to the voting system? Do we trust in computers that much, or bush for that matter? Its very easy to rig these elections and computers when your in power. What do you think we could do to ensure and prevent rigging or a 'Florida Recount' from happen again in the benefit of private interests or other candidates?
Will bush ever face the Justice System for this Illegal War?
Sincerely,

Have you prepared a speech after getting the nomination?
Could you tell us what your nomination speech will talk about so we can prepare to win the presidential office.
Who do you plan on endorsing?
Hello Dr. Paul,
Many of us Ron Paul supporters want you to win and run as a Libertarian candidate, since it appears that you are unfortunately not going to get the Republican nomination. However, you have repeatedly said you do not plan to run third party because of the lack of media attention. If you do not run third party and do not get the nomination, who do you plan on endorsing for president? You have said you cannot support Clinton, Obama, or McCain because of the difference in their policies and yours. Who do you plan on endorsing for president if this happens?
Thank you,
Tyler

He's still running
He's publicly said he won't support any of the other candidates. He doesn't have to, thank god this country is mostly still free.
Is there any chance that we
Is there any chance that we could see a debate with McCain? I think that the American people have a right to know Exactly who they have to chose from in the upcoming election.
No offense meant, however
this correspondent needs to understand we are SUPPORTERS of Dr. Paul not "followers". That is an important distinction. Rev. Jim Jones and the like had or have "followers". Ron Paul Supporters are rational, informed people that SUPPORT the BEST candidate for rational reasons. Using terms such as "follower" is a not very subtle attempt to create an impression that supporters of RP are irrational cultists.
Question for Dr. Paul
Ron,
First of all thank you for what you are starting, your a true patriot!
My question: Why don't you ask Jesse Ventura to endorse, support or be your running mate? He is getting alot of fresh media attention and support from the public. I think this would let the rest of the public know your still running.
Rafael
How do you, Dr Paul, view
How do you, Dr Paul, view the world we live in? Is this the kind of world we want to raise our children in if we're continually worrying whether we are genuinly free?
Personally I find it a permanently depressing thought, spending half of my working hours sponsoring a system I don't agree with and which has taken away too many liberties.
Well
What a question. "Is this the kind of world" well, what other world do you want to live in?
Don't be depressed and don't complain - get to work. Even if you only call your congressman every day over issues important to you and your family. If nothing else, they will know what you think and then vote accordingly. Don't forget to check how your congressmen vote - then vote accordingly. Help people with liberty and freedom ideals to get elected in your town, county, state.
Write the newspapers in your market.
Once you have done this, then contact all the congressmen and newspapers. Prepare your family, get out of debt. Do all this with prayer and Gideon won the war with few - so can we. Be encouraged.
Help us with Media Coverage Please!!!
Everyone,
I have asked the news department here at WGAL if they would be covering the event at Gettysburg or Penn State, especially since they have been so diligent in covering Obama and Clinton. Unfortunantly I was told that they would not be covering the event because they did not anticipate a large turnout.
I would encourage anyone who wants to show WGAL that Ron Paul has a large number of supporters in this area to take a minute out of your day to send a POLITE email to the News Directory expressing your interest in seeing the events covered on WGAL's">WGAL's news cast. You can contact the news director by emailing him at newsdirector@wgal.com.
Thanks in advance for all your help. I anticipate hearing about the hundreds of emails in his inbox.

Why did you leave us??
I understand that you did not want the job in the first place.
But why did you keep the same incompetent staff when the RP revolution was at full steam,and no results were being produced?
Why did you become content with just having your Congressional job as opposed to realizing that you could have been a contender with the right PR people and staff that could have kept you in the news and the debate?
I understand that the 9/11 was a hot potato.
But why didn't you call out by name McCain who was on the Senate Intelligence Committee for being incompetent in stopping the attack of 9/11
Why didn't you stand on the debate stage and point to the left and right and say?
" These men are actors,and manipulators. They change their opinion which ever way the wind blows,or the polls dictate.
I am the only man on this stage that will stand for the truth, and what is right.
If you want the SAME empty promises EVERY FOUR YEARS from the SAME types of individuals you see here tonight? Then by all means vote for them.
If you want to SAVE this great country from financial,and cultural destruction, Create a stronger national defense,and have more money in your pocket rather than in the Govts. Then vote for me.
If you want your God given RIGHTS back,and restore the foundation that made this country the greatest nation in the world,then vote for me.
This is your ONCE in a lifetime chance to break 100+ years of corruption,lying,greed,control,and destruction.
Your support and your vote can make this happen.
Why don't you say that?
end of questions.........
I think there is more to the
I think there is more to the answer of this question than he can answer publicly. Or wants too.
He did not leave us..he is still doing what he does best..arguing in front of cameras with the bastards..and taking notes!!
Couldn't resist !!

OK! Here are my 3 questions for Ron Paul
1. Who's your fave Beatle?
2. If you were a tree, what kind would you be?
3. Would you end favoritism in international trade? Or would all nations be treated equally?
what more can I do to help? Would you consider a 3rd party run?
I am very grateful for your leadership, moral integrity, and dedication to Constitutional government. My primaries are over, I'm maxed out financially, and I will strongly support anyone running for Congress in my district with your ideals and principles. Can I do anything more? BTW we (my hubby and I) are both trying to become delegates,too.

US Energy Policy - change directions !
Deerefly asks :
Dr. Paul, how can USA rapidly transition from dirty and costly fossil fuels ( especially foreign oil) to clean and green alternative and renewable energy sources?
If USA had "Made in America " solar, wind, hydro, hydrogen, bio-diesel, ethanol/methanol, deep ground source heat pumps, pyrolysis of garbage, landfill methane, algae to synfuel, water hyacynth to biomass, and Industrail Hemp and Switchgrass replacing weeds on 6 million of the 36 million CRP acres, we wouldn't need imported foreign oil, or costly oil wars, or unbalanced foreign payments, or debt.
We'd have American technology creating American jobs producing American energy. The troops could return from Iraq and Afghanistan ( and from 130 other nations ) and we could support them as they patrol and secure our own borders and sovereignty.
Could not the president tell DEA to back off from Industrial Hemp growers using an "Executive Order"? Tell DEA, " Your job now is to test Industrial Hemp acreage; lower than .2 THC and you certify it as Industrial; higher than .23 then you rip it up and fine the grower." DEA could identify hemp fields from satellites!
Just growing Industrial Hemp alone could change this nation. It can produce up to 45 tons per acre, or 3 times corn silage by weight. It makes possible over 200 different products, from bio-diesel to body oils and perfumes, from ethanol/methanol to livestock feed, from blue jeans denim to paper pulp. Yet the DEA blocks growing Hemp, even in States where it's been permitted by law.
Can you get the federal government to do just ONE right thing for "We The People ---", instead of government agents pandering to trans-national corporations all the time?
