"(Representative Ron) Paul (R)confirms rumors circulating in Washington that this sweeping new law, with serious implications for each and every American, was not made available to members of Congress for review before the vote. "It's my understanding the bill wasn't printed before the vote - at least I couldn't get it. They played all kinds of games, kept the House in session all night, and it was a very complicated bill. Maybe a handful of staffers actually read it, but the bill definitely was not available to members before the vote."

"And why would that be? "This is a very bad bill," explains Paul, "and I think the people who voted for it knew it and that's why they said, 'Well, we know it's bad, but we need it under these conditions.'" Meanwhile, efforts to obtain copies of the new law were stonewalled even by the committee that wrote it."

It is shameful of Ron Paul to lie to you.

I commend your concern about his dishonesty, especially over such a serious matter of security and liberty!

Did you write him to complain about his lying?

Hold his feet to the fire! Remember our Republic depends on informed citizens- not sheep led by lying politicians.
