Product Description
Available in paperback for the first time.
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.

Oh, what could have been. January 7, 2009

After reading this book I was deeply saddened that Ron Paul's campaign was not taken more seriously than it was. His plans and ideas for this country are so far removed from the "pop culture" political climate that dominates American politics today. After reading this book I realized that this country made a big mistake not electing Mr. Paul. All I can hope for now is that if Mr. Paul will not run again in four years someone will pick up his torch and run with it. This book should be mandatory reading for anyone who is even thinking about calling him or herself a "Patriot".
 Pretty Cut and Dry January 6, 2009
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Over all whether you like Ron Paul and his libertarian like views, the analysis that he presents is rather cut-and-dry. Following a wide range of issues that pertain to the American Political spectrum he piece by piece goes through the steps he sees as necessary in order to achieve what he refers to as a "revolution" similir to the spirt in which the Constitution was originally written. This book is NOT FOR BEGINERS in political science arena unless you intend to have both a dictionary and encyclopedia handy in order to appreciate the history and political science subject matter.
A Challenge to Long-Held Views January 5, 2009
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Someone recommended reading this, and I'm glad - Revolution presents so many challenges to current perspectives on government that it forces a re-evaluation of one's world view. While it's impossible to present a full school of thought in such a short piece, Ron Paul raises so many issues that it makes one question how our nation has been run for so long.
Again, I see this book as only an introduction to the Libertarian perspective, but it's got my interest. It's not enough to convert me, but it does force me to study more. I've still got a lot of questions, and I have to research some of the assertions presented... but it's raised a lot issues that people need to hear.
Ron Paul "The Thomas Jefferson of Our Time" January 4, 2009
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Whether it's Ron Paul who leads us there or not, this book gives us a clear picture of where we need to go. Once the government is out of our lives for good, we can begin to enjoy life as American Citizens once again, instead of being treated like *mindless consumers* by the parasites who fight for more and more government control and intervention into our personal lives.
Unfortunately most Americans are not aware of the extent to which our inalienable rights are being undermined by treasonous public servants bent on ignoring the very document they were sworn to uphold. It is our right; it is our duty, to hold these treasonous criminals accountable for their actions. We need to get back to our roots; we need to say these words in public again and really think about what is important to us as Americans.
"Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security."
-Thomas Jefferson
A Freedom Manifesto January 1, 2009

Dr. Paul doesn't pick a particular political party in his writing he is offended by anticonstitution politicians in both parties. I bought this as DVD's and enjoyed the form as well as the thought. Dr. Paul isn't a conservative but a libertarian.
