How Government Media Cheated Ron Paul in 2012 election (SD).mp4
No matter who you supported for the 2012 election, if you believe in a free and honest electoral process, you will not like this. Ron Paul #39;s success leading up to the 2012 election was BURIED by the mainstream media. Some folks claim the voting booths were rigged in the 2012 election, but Dr. Paul never got a chance to get that far. The media took care of that, in spite of the reality of his popularity on the ground. This video lays it all out in retrospect-how Dr. Paul was omitted from the election primary results, omitted by news stations reporting the polls, and ignored by reporters on the road. The confusion and anger of knowing Ron Paul was being ignored, thus given "no chance of winning", escalated to the eruption that occurred at the GOP convention in Orlando, FL, August, 2012. Refusing to even call out his name for the electoral votes that Ron Paul DID get, the GOP showed their true colors at the convention. Ron Paul was simply not the "chosen one" by the powers that controlled the political parties during the 2012 elections. How do you feel about the power of the vote now?

Actually, hes writing them. The former Texas GOP congressman is turning his libertarian focus to education with a new book that advocates for a free-market approach to schooling and education.

New School Manifesto will be published by Grand Central Publishing Sept. 17, just in time for back-to-school season.

According to the publisher, the book will be a focused guide to Dr. Pauls position, which centers on a strong support for home schooling and free-market principles applied to education. He makes the case for individual freedoms as they pertain to educating our children, and nimbly dissects the most pressing issues that need to be addressed from the libertarian point of view.

In New School Manifesto, Paul compares the education system to the postal service, arguing both would benefit from private sector competition, according to Politico. The libertarian author also examines a variety of education policy proposals, says the news site, and advocates that parents should have more leverage in choosing what schooling system is best for their children.

Some interesting context: Throughout his career, Paul has tried to get the government out of education. During the 2012 presidential campaign, then-GOP nominee contender Paul advocated closing the Department of Education as well as abolishing No Child Left Behind. Instead Paul was in favor of giving tax credits and vouchers to parents. That small government, free-market approach is sure to shape his latest book. He has also long opposed federal student loans and has called federal education efforts a propaganda machine, according to the Houston Chronicle.

Ron Pauls beliefs are always controversial, and even if you disagree with his principles, his arguments will make you think, his publisher says of the forthcoming book.Ron Pauls ideas and his urgent appeal to all citizens and officials will tell us what we need to do fix Americas education system for future generations.
