He makes it clear that his principles will never be compromised,
and they never are. As one colleague observed, “There are few people in public

As Christians, we surely do not agree on every issue. Within our own families, we often disagree on
biblical interpretation and on politics.
But when the leading candidates for our country’s highest office, from

envision pulling the lever for any of them, it’s time to find an
alternative. We found Ron Paul and encourage
you to consider him as well.

would do what George W. Bush promised when he was running for President: he

light in a dark world. (Ephesians 6:12)
