“I support Ron Paul for President of the United States because his ‘
Plan to Restore America’ includes specific goals
to stop wasteful spending by $1 trillion the first year, balance the
budget in three years, and return the country to Constitutional
government. His years of service in Washington have proven his
integrity and strength of character in dealing with foreign policy as
well as internal issues,” said Ken Hach.
“Of the people I have talked with, their primary concerns are jobs and
the economy. Based on the points I mentioned earlier, both
situations would improve greatly under a Ron Paul presidency,” added
Mr. Hach.
Mr. Hach, a retired school administrator, is also owner of Wind on
Rails, Inc. and currently serves on the Buena Vista board of county
supervisors. He has been in the wind farming business for 33
years.
“Our country is on a precipice of disaster if we do not have a change
of leadership in Washington. My decision to join the Ron Paul
2012 Campaign was because Dr. Paul is a patriotic American with common
sense. Ron Paul believes in the sanctity of life, the family as
the bedrock of society, a strong national defense, and to fight to win
when at war. He will return America to the precepts on which our
forefathers birthed the greatest country that history has ever recorded
and ensure it is governed in accordance with the Constitution,” said
Jim Treat.
Mr. Treat has been an active member of the Buena Vista County
Republican Party for three decades, and proudly served in the U.S. Army.
The BV Tea Party Patriots formed in 2009 and is comprised of people who
believe in the United States and its founding ideals as expressed in
the Constitution, Declaration of Independence, and the Emancipation
Proclamation. It is a community of people who also believe in the
American dream: life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. They
believe that being an American is an honor, as well as a great
responsibility.
The endorsement occurred on the day Ron Paul’s son, U.S. Senator Rand
Paul (R-KY), argued on several cable news and radio shows that one of
Ron Paul’s competitors for the GOP nomination, Newt Gingrich, is
unworthy of tea party support. Senator Paul’s Des Moines Register
op-ed arguing the same point, published today, can be read
