Ron Paul Endorsements - Vegas report meeting, Friday, January 18, 2008, By Chelene Nightingale

Thanks to the official endorsement from Jonnie Crivello from March for America, Jonnie was invited to host an invite-only event with Dr. Ron Paul. Save Our State was honored to be an invited guest, along with Frank Jorge, Jeff Schwilk, and Art Olivier.

The presentation and general audience question and answer session, can be found on the following page in 5 parts. A huge thanks to the AV Political Observer for covering the event. http://www.youtube.com/user/politicalobserver You can view the presentation and find out most the facts for yourself.

Here are the key points which I completely supported:

Wants the USA out of the UN
Voted AGAINST closing military bases!! Thinks we need more bases in the states.
Strict constitutionalist.
Believes in our sovereignty! No North American Union!
Believes states should be allowed to police their borders!
Believes homeowners have the right to protect their "borders".
Wants Ramos & Compean out of prison NOW!!
Wants to pass legislation clarifying/defining 14th amendment - NOT for anchor babies!
Voted against the REAL ID!!
Voted YES on the Fence Bill!
Wants more border guards on the border!
Believes illegals should go back home! No rewards for bad behavior!

After the presentation, 9 anti-illegal organization leaders met privately with Dr. Paul to clarify his positions and ask tough questions. Many activists are concerned that Dr. Paul is anti-war, therefore weak on foreign policy. Thankfully I asked him to clarify his position. Dr. Paul stated that no one is for war. He said he believes in the Christian moral theory which is defensive war. He actually voted yes to fund going after Al Qaeda. If elected he would discuss strategy with his military advisors regarding leaving Iraq, since the reason for going has long past.

I also asked him a question from a SOS member: Which candidate's anti-illegal alien plan are you most similar - Romney or Hunter? After a joke about which Romney plan? He said Duncan Hunter!!

However I was most impressed when Dr. Paul spoke with Joe Loya, Nacho Ramos' father-in-law on my cellphone!! Dr. Paul stated that the agents should have NEVER been sent to prison!!!
