Fwd: An Open Letter to the Personal Finance Blogging Community

I'm a member of a group of personal finance blogs, and it looks like they have decided to support Ron Paul.

It's really encouraging to see Ron Paul, who represents the ideals of a small and simple government, get so much support on the internet.

Dear Fellow Citizen,

 

As may you know, 2008 is an election year.  The presidential elections in American represent in great part windows of opportunity to change the course and direction of the nation, and as such they deserve your careful attention.       

 

After much thoughtful consideration, we have decided to endorse Ron Paul for President.  Paul is a ten term congressman running for president on the Republican ticket.  Paul is renowned on Capital Hill for his integrity. In fact he has been called the "One exception to the gang of 535" and the "Most honest man in politics" by former treasury Secretary Simon and current Senator John McCain.

 

For bloggers, Congressman Paul' represents the best choice among the current White House contenders.  Paul has consistently voted in favor of protecting the unregulated nature of the web and has never voted to tax internet commerce.  Like many of you, we think it's important that the web remain a free and open environment and recognize that a politician who supports these principles is deserving of our vote.

 

Not only does a Paul presidency offer the opportunity for protection of the internet, Paul has taken a firm stance regarding honest governance and fiscal prudence.   In his career as a congressman, Paul has taken the least amount of lobbying money and he has never voted to increase taxes or cast his congressional ballot for an unbalanced national budget.  

 

As persons interested in finance, you may also be concerned about taxation and your financial futures. Ron Paul advocates phasing out the IRS and reducing the size and scope of the federal government.   In addition, Paul has proposed allowing participating in the social security system to be optional.  And – like you we trust more on our own self reliance than in the wisdom of a sluggish and efficient federal bureaucracy.   

 

In 2008 the best choice may indeed come from within the finest traditions of America - integrity, fiscal produce and free choice.   With strongest conviction, we urge our fellow members of the blogging community to vote for Ron Paul in 2008.      

 

With Confidence,
