Campaign 2008

Ron Paul's New Book, The Revolution: A Manifesto

Posted April 30, 2008

He's back—though GOP presidential candidate Ron Paul never really left. (See his showing in the Pennsylvania primary, where, against presumed nominee John McCain, he picked up nearly 16 percent of the vote despite having effectively suspended his campaign months ago.)

Today, Paul's book, The Revolution: A Manifesto, is officially released and it's already zoomed to No. 8 on Amazon's bestseller list and is the top-selling political book. The Texas congressman is using today's launch to urge his fervent supporters to continue their libertarian "revolution."

In a message to supporters this morning, Paul says that the rest of American has "underestimated you," and urged them to descend on book stores to pick up "what my friends are calling..."Ron Paul's legacy."'

What he's also looking for are book proceeds, of course, to "fuel our revolution for a long time to come."

Book review

I am not even an American and i read the book because I find American politics much more interesting then my own nations. If you disagree with some of the things he says in the book thats your right and I think most will agree some of his ideas are out there but you have to admit he makes a compelling argument for what he believes in. I think its refreshing to see a politician actually use the lessons of history in his train of thought. Understanding that there is consequences for an aggressive foreign policy, and when was the last time you heard a high profile politician talk about your money system and how it can be improved. Your constitution is a great piece of work and politicians should pull it out and read it once in a while when trying to make decisions. I think the book is a great read and all nations could use some of Ron Pauls ideals.

Ron Paul

You know it really saddens me when I see what the government and the fed are doing to this country. I think they need to be removed period. The country has fallen so far due to greed and power. remove and start over.

They all swear to uphold the constitution. I have yet to see a single one do that.

Ron Paul knows what's going down. Read the book.
