Ron Paul Nevada Team Names New ‘Hispanics for Ron Paul’ Nationwide Coalition Members

Posted: 27 Jan 2012 12:41 PM PST

Latest Paul backers from crucial Silver State voting bloc hail from Clark and Washoe counties

HENDERSON, Nevada – The Ron Paul 2012 Presidential campaign announced today additions to its active "Hispanics for Ron Paul" nationwide coalition.
The following additions to the coalition hail from Clark and Washoe counties, both Nevada. They have pledged to spread the word about Dr. Paul among their respective communities.
Originally from Colombia, Las Vegas student Vanny Hunter supports Ron Paul for his stances on the economy and foreign policy. "A less interventionist foreign policy will be beneficial to the United States and its valued partners around the globe," said Mr. Hunter. The young Mr. Hunter favors Dr. Paul's plan to bring limited government back to America, but his favorite policy stance is the restoration of the Constitution of the United State of America.
"I support Ron Paul because he is the only politician that has been consistent on the issues for over 30 years, and he has never voted against our Constitution," said Alexia Acha, a stay-at-home mother in North Las Vegas.
She added, "I want to leave this country a better place for my children, and their children. The best way to do that is to help elect Ron Paul for the presidency. In doing so, we will be better able to take back control over our schools and our lives. Ron Paul has a unique 'Plan to Restore America.'"

Alexander Falconi, a father from Washoe County in Carson City, also pledged his support for Ron Paul. "Ron Paul is the only politician I trust. Politicians should not straddle the line between the peoples’ interests and special interests." Falconi proclaimed that "this will be a tough fight," and that he will do whatever he can to support Ron Paul for President.

New members being announced today are leaders in their community who are representative of the support Dr. Paul enjoys from America's fastest-growing population and voter segment.

A recent poll shows Dr. Paul faring better among nonwhite voters than any other Republican candidate when matched against incumbent President Barack Obama. "Hispanics for Ron Paul," then, offers the Ron Paul campaign the opportunity to form a larger winning coalition by sharing his message of personal and economic liberty among voters of Hispanic ancestry.

As a function of this announcement, the above-mentioned persons are all members of the "Hispanics for Ron Paul" nationwide coalition, in particular its Nevada steering committee.
As a first basic step, those wanting to join the "Hispanics for Ron Paul" nationwide coalition should visit the official web page by clicking here. Prospective members should also send an email to nvcoalitions@ronpaul2012.com, writing the coalition name in the subject line.

Ron Paul Cheers Indiana House Passage of Right to Work Law

Posted: 27 Jan 2012 11:45 AM PST

Dr. Paul: "I have been a strong supporter of a National Right to Work Act, and I have made passing such legislation a centerpiece of my presidential campaign."

LAKE JACKSON, Texas – 2012 Republican Presidential candidate Ron Paul authored a congratulatory letter to Mark Mix of the National Right to Work Committee, applauding the organization's success in helping to pass a right to work law in the lower house of the Indiana General Assembly.
The legislation ending forced unionization and forced payment of dues to union bosses passed the Indiana House and is up for consideration in the state Senate, before Governor Mitch Daniels (R) signs it into law.
Reads the letter:
Mark Mix
President
National Right to Work Committee
8001 Braddock Road, Suite 500
Springfield, Virginia 22160
Dear Mark,
Congratulations!
Last night, my staff informed me that the Indiana House just passed Right to Work on a truly historic vote, and that Indiana is on the verge of becoming America's 23rd Right to Work state.
Of course, it is my hope the Indiana Senate will soon follow suit, and that Governor Daniels will quickly sign Right to Work into law in Indiana so that no Hoosier worker can be forced to pay union dues just to get or keep a job.
I want to congratulate you and your staff on this latest success. You have persevered against the full weight of the union machine, and every American owes you a debt of gratitude for your leadership and dedication.
While Americans should be free to join a union, it's just common sense that no worker should be forced to do so as a condition of employment.
As you know, in Congress, I have been a strong supporter of a National Right to Work Act, and I have made passing such legislation a centerpiece of my presidential campaign. My administration would work closely with your organization and leaders like Senator Jim DeMint and my son, Senator Rand Paul, for its passage in Congress.
Thanks again for all of your hard work to guarantee every American can enjoy the fruits of his labor free from interference by Big Labor bosses.
For Liberty,
Ron Paul

Ms. Newton further commented, "The Federal Government is out of control and spends money we don’t have while borrowing it to give away as aid. Ron Paul would take care of Americans first and that is why he will win this election."
"Ron Paul represents so well the core values upon which our nation was founded. The provisions of his 'Plan to Restore America' intended toresolve our country’s current issues are both intelligent and attainable," said Glenn and Andrea Barthel, two Las Vegas gun owners. They believe that "his adherence to traditional values, his voting record, and his predictions show he is in touch with the majority of America."

Ron Paul Nevada Team Names New ‘Hospitality Workers for Ron Paul’ Nationwide Coalition Members

Posted: 27 Jan 2012 10:16 AM PST

Tips-earning workers in service occupations join Dr. Paul's call for tax-free gratuities and pledge to assist with Clark County outreach

HENDERSON, Nevada – The Ron Paul 2012 Presidential campaign announced today new members of its active "Hospitality Workers for Ron Paul" nationwide coalition.
The following additions are from Clark County and have pledged to spread the word about Dr. Paul in and among their respective workplaces, peers, and communities.
A Las Vegas taxi cab driver for more than five years, Aaron Gamboa praised Dr. Paul's proposals, and his support for Ron Paul stems from a dissatisfaction of the government taxing his hard-earned tips.
"My hard earned tips from my customers are taxed based on the highest percentage allowable by law. There are already way too many cabs in Vegas to make a good living, and I feel that taxing someone unfairly who lives off tips is way too big of a burden to bear from our government," said Mr. Gamboa.
"Ron Paul respects the hard work we do," said Reginald Currie, a Las Vegas resident.
Currie has been in the service industry his whole life. Currently working two jobs as a waiter, he supports Ron Paul and his stance on tax-free tips. "The service industry in America respects people who respect our hard work," he stated. Mr. Currie firmly believes Ron Paul's bill, the Tax Free Tips Act of 2011, is a sign that "he understands and stands for hardworking service industry employees in America."
"I am a big supporter of Ron Paul because he understands that this country was based on the principles of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. His voting record shows his consistency, and this country needs a president who is a man of his word. I know Ron Paul will restore America," said Ivy Floirendo, also from the Las Vegas area.
As a five year service industry worker, Ms. Floirendo supports Ron Paul for his goal of helping tip-based workers "keep their hard earned money."
These new members are everyday hospitality or service sector workers in their community who are representative of the support Dr. Paul enjoys from this large Nevada voting bloc. They understand and are attracted to Ron Paul's stance on ending taxation of tips, and for this reason this coalition will serve to amplify Nevada state operations.
As a function of this announcement, the above-mentioned persons are all members of the "Hospitality Workers for Ron Paul" nationwide coalition, in particular the Nevada steering committee.
As a first basic step, those wanting to join the active "Hospitality Workers for Ron Paul" nationwide coalition should visit the official web page by clicking here. Prospective members should also send an email to nvcoalitions@ronpaul2012.com, writing the coalition name in the subject line.

Ron Paul Nevada Team Names New ‘LDS for Ron Paul’ Nationwide Coalition Members

Posted: 27 Jan 2012 10:03 AM PST

Latter-day Saints brothers and sisters who support Dr. Paul hail from Clark & Washoe counties

HENDERSON, Nevada – The Ron Paul 2012 Presidential Campaign announced today new members of its active "Latter-day Saints for Ron Paul" nationwide coalition.
Today's additions hail from Clark and Washoe counties, both Nevada. The coalition members have pledged to spread the word about Dr. Paul among their respective communities, stakes, wards, and branches.
"The reason I support Ron Paul for President is because his words and actions are singularly influenced by principle. He is and has always been consistent in following the principles he endorses. It's comforting that in a day where politicians are so easily swayed by popularity and money, that Ron Paul has always been resolute," said Aaron Anderson of Las Vegas.
"No other candidate gives me the assurance that they'll follow principle above all else," concluded Mr. Anderson.
Also of Las Vegas, Scott Negaard describes the word "uncertainty" as the defining word for America as long as Mr. Obama has been President. "If Americans want a stronger America, turn your eyes and ears to see and hear the actions and words of an honest man, a man who cares for the future of 'We the People.' I will be voting for honesty and truth this time, and that's why Ron Paul gets my vote," said Mr. Negaard.
Sun Valley voter Craig Richards praised the Congressman from Texas, citing his "character and integrity" as reasons for strongly supporting Dr. Paul.
"As a member of the LDS faith and knowing the teachings from the past and present Church leaders, they have spoken about the Constitution as being an inspired document. Congressman Paul is the only candidate running for President who is speaking up and following the Constitution. He has upheld and honored it in his voting record, and he has the character and integrity that I trust. That's why I strongly support him to be our next president," said Mr. Richards.
Concerning the active "Latter-day Saints for Ron Paul" coalition, this announcement follows the high-profile endorsements of Overstock.com President Jonathan Johnson, prominent author and chair of the Utah Tenth Amendment Center Connor Boyack, and that of Utah Republican Liberty Caucus Chair Darcy Van Orden.
All such announcements help present Ron Paul as the conservative alternative to Mitt Romney and demonstrate that no presidential candidate has a monopoly on this crucial western states voter segment.
As a function of this announcement, the above-mentioned persons are all members of the "Latter-day Saints for Ron Paul" nationwide coalition, in particular its Nevada steering committee.
As a first basic step, those wanting to join the "Latter-day Saints for Ron Paul" nationwide coalition should visit the official page by clicking here. Prospective members should also send an email to nvcoalitions@ronpaul2012.com, writing the coalition name in the subject line.

Heroes hailing from Carson City, Clark, and Nye counties pledge to boost outreach efforts for fellow veteran Paul

Today's additions hail from Carson City, Clark, and Nye counties, all Nevada, and pledge to spread the word among their respective communities concerning the 12-term Texas Congressman's staunch advocacy for veterans' issues.
Carson City resident Allen Adams is a retired pilot who served as a combat engineer in the National Guard, attaining the rank of Sergeant. The six-year veteran said, "Ron Paul is the only one that recognizes the problems in this country and has known them for 30 years. With a clear and consistent record, he outmatches all other candidates who don't stand a chance against President Obama."
David Gilbert lives in the Henderson area and is a former Army Staff Sergeant with 12 years of service. He gave his take speaking as someone who has sworn an oath to protect the Constitution twice, stating, "As a veteran and police officer, I serve to protect the citizens of this community so that they may exercise their freedoms and liberties as they endeavor to pursue the American dream. I witness the ever-increasing influence of the federal government and its agencies upon the local and state level through regulations."
"Federal regulations are by and large composed by special interest groups that stand to profit greatly though implementation of the regulations. I observe this firsthand often, and the answer to the need for restoring Constitutional government is Ron Paul," concluded Mr. Gilbert.
Pahrump-area Army veteran Robert Serini served 11 years in a military career that brought him to countries such as Nicaragua, Egypt, and Iraq.
The former Corporal stated, "The fact that Ron Paul was a doctor first speaks volumes about his personality and integrity. I agree wholeheartedly with his 'Plan To Restore America,' and cleaning up Washington, D.C. The fact that Ron Paul is also a veteran is just icing on my cake."
Ron Paul is the only candidate in this election possessing an honorable record of military service. A flight surgeon during the Cold War era, his commitment to veterans was recently showcased in the campaign's television ad 'He Served'. The campaign's more recent television ad titled 'Secure' highlights Dr. Paul's plan to keep America safe.
In addition to the support veterans give Dr. Paul, the congressman also receives more donations from active-dutymilitary than the rest of the field combined, according to an independent analysis.

Sarah Palin: Ron Paul “Only One” Willing to Cut Government and Debt

Posted: 27 Jan 2012 07:44 AM PST

Said former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin on FOX News this morning:
(Ron Paul) is the only one who has been so adamantly passionate about doing something about the suffocating debt, about doing something about reining in government growth and actually slashing budgets - $1 trillion a year, he’s been specific about until we get our hands around this…
If the GOP is the party of limited government, there is only one such Republican in this race.
If conservatism is about reining in and limiting government, there is only one conservative in this race.
If the Tea Party is about reining in government and debt, there is only one Tea Partier in this race.
Palin is right.

Dear Mark,

Congratulations!

Last night, my staff informed me that the Indiana House just passed Right to Work on a truly historic vote, and that Indiana is on the verge of becoming America's 23^rd Right to Work state.

Of course, it is my hope the Indiana Senate will soon follow suit, and that Governor Daniels will quickly sign Right to Work into law in Indiana so that no Hoosier worker can be forced to pay union dues just to get or keep a job.

I want to congratulate you and your staff on this latest success. You have persevered against the full weight of the union machine, and every American owes you a debt of gratitude for your leadership and dedication.

While Americans should be free to join a union, it’s just common sense that no worker should be forced to do so as a condition of employment.

As you know, in Congress, I have been a strong supporter of a National Right to Work Act, and I have made passing such legislation a centerpiece of my presidential campaign. My administration would work closely with your organization and leaders like Senator Jim DeMint and my son, Senator Rand Paul, for its passage in Congress.

Thanks again for all of your hard work to guarantee every American can enjoy the fruits of his labor free from interference by Big Labor bosses.
