It's Official: Ron Paul Won Nevada

The Nevada GOP shut down their state convention when it became clear that Ron Paul supporters would be the majority of delegates to go to the national convention.

Some uncounted ballots were found and have now been counted. The ballots covered three delegates that would go to the national convention, and the count has shown that all three delegates would have been Ron Paul supporters if the ballots had been counted.

The Nevada GOP did the wrong thing at the state convention, and they disenfranchised many Republicans.

He also states that government-funded shots leads us on the path toward socialized medicine.

End The Fed

Chapter two of Ron Paul's book End The Fed is available at Mises.org.

Most Americans haven't thought much about the strange entity that controls the nation's money. They simply accept it as though it has always been there, which is far from the case. Visitors to Washington can see the Fed's palatial headquarters in Washington, D.C., which opened its doors in 1937.
