Featured Members of Congress

On September 03, 2008 Ron Paul was featured on the homepage of OpenCongress:

At a rally just down the street from the Republican National Convention in St. Paul, former presidential candidate Ron Paul (R-TX) officially kicked off his revolutionary Campaign For Liberty. "The future of the Republic is bleak," he said in his speech on Tuesday. "As conditions deteriorate, those in charge use the problems they created to solidify their power with more spending, taxes, rules, inflation, and militarism. This must be reversed."
