Product Description
This Much Is True: You Have Been Lied To.
- The government is expanding.
- Taxes are increasing.
- More senseless wars are being planned.
- Inflation is ballooning.
- Our basic freedoms are disappearing.
The Founding Fathers didn't want any of this. In fact, they said so quite clearly in the Constitution of the United States of America. Unfortunately, that beautiful, ingenious, and revolutionary document is being ignored more and more in Washington. If we are to enjoy peace, freedom, and prosperity once again, we absolutely must return to the principles upon which America was founded. But finally, there is hope . . .
In THE REVOLUTION,Texas congressman and presidential candidate Ron Paul has exposed the core truths behind everything threatening America, from the real reasons behind the collapse of the dollar and the looming financial crisis, to terrorism and the loss of our precious civil liberties. In this book, Ron Paul provides answers to questions that few even dare to ask.
Despite a media blackout, this septuagenarian physician-turned-congressman sparked a movement that has attracted a legion of young, dedicated, enthusiastic supporters . . . a phenomenon that has amazed veteran political observers and made more than one political rival envious. Candidates across America are already running as "Ron Paul Republicans."
"Dr. Paul cured my apathy," says a popular campaign sign. THE REVOLUTION may cure yours as well.

 A Good Read for Those Getting into Politics October 6, 2008
This year will be my first time to be able to vote. I have just started to research politics, and I found that I agreed on a lot of what Ron Paul believes in. I purchased this book in an effort to learn more about what this country needs. I was shocked by a lot of subjects in this book (particularly the abortion segment), and it has given me a clear view of the problems in this country.
Why didn't I vote for him? October 5, 2008

I should have, after reading this book.
I had already voted for Dr. Ron Paul, a pro-life and -liberty candidate...in 1988.
Friends and family castigated me for it, but I remain convinced that this first voting endeavor was my best one.
But over the years I've been inculcated in the belief that I "can't throw my vote away." I want mine back!
The book surprised me by its clarity and vigor of thought. Coming off the heels of the banking mess, which the book predicted was amazing accuracy--the FED printing easy money, providing for easy credit--makes our paper money system unsound.
Sound money, limited (constitutional!) government, rights given by God and not bequeathed to us at the behest of some government bureaucrat who live like parasites off the body politic, non intervention in foreign policy, and letting states decide on abortion are some of the highlights of this political apology that will live on long after the election.
Some of us sentient Americans who haven't been too addled by the government schools or who aren't sucking furiously off a gov't teat, realize that our liberties have been far too eroded away. Ron Paul filled the vacuum, taking a principled stand for freedom, which is after all truly the American way.
Dr. Paul, a Congressman from Houston, Texas, reminds us we are far better off trusting markets and people than government.
I just wish I had voted for him, and not listened so carefully to others. The Revolution was a wake-up call.
Very Clear History about the Federal Government October 5, 2008
Very well written with a clear history about the U.S. Federal government. From inception to our modern day dilemma. A great read for those wanting to learn about the original conservatism and what rights the federal government has under the U.S. Constitution.
Statesman Ron Paul's 2008 work. October 1, 2008
Clearly written and concise description on the problems of the US federal government's theft of power. Also clear on the economic problems created by our federal government, and the required remedies to prevent economic disaster.

When I first heard of him a year ago, Ron Paul intrigued me; reading this book & learning about his viewpoints enlightened me. In the context of today's political issues (particularly the housing issues) Dr. Paul offers a completely fresh perspective. He doesn't debate the trivial points. Instead, he debates the fundamental questions about our current political system. Every day as I listen to the news, Dr. Paul echoes louder & louder in my mind. His arguments & predictions resonate so strongly, but in the mainstream political debate they are "fringe". THE REVOLUTION advances arguments that are not only logical, but represent the principles America was founded on.
Personally, I have found people (Democrats & Republicans alike) to be generally intrigued by Dr. Paul's ideas, wanting to learn more. I share this book with them, & will continue to do so. Perhaps Dr. Paul's point of view will come into the mainstream soon.
