Below are the statements of new coalition members who agree with Dr.
Paul’s position that restoring free markets is the best way to
revitalize Main Street and encourage job creation.
Monty Button, who has owned Adel Tree Company for 21 years, employs
several persons and says of the 12-term Congressman from Texas, “I have
been very impressed with Ron Paul’s
consistently conservative voting record. He is a true statesman,
a
rarity today, closely resembling the caliber of the founders and their
original intent. America needs the constitutional leadership Ron
Paul offers.”
Since 2003, Mark Davenport has operated Davencorp Welding &
Fabrication, a company that serves the Bloomfield area and employs 21
people. He said, “I feel Ron Paul has demonstrated foresight in
what is required to cure our economy and other issues that ail our
country. Dr. Paul appears adeptly immune to the 'political
correctness' that has plagued our nation for too many years.”
“Ron Paul’s
many years as a lawmaker has forged the temper of a man needed to make
and carry through with the difficult tasks that will
be essential of
our next President. As a nation, we need to regain our post
as not
only an economic leader, but one of global integrity,” added Mr.
Davenport.
LaFleur Chiropractic owner Ben LaFleur has been
in business for four years and employs two persons. He stated, “I
have
become very concerned with our current economic status and the overall
future of the United States. As more and more people become
unemployed
and uninsured, we have arrived at a place where the priorities of
government have become skewed. We need a president that speaks
for the
people and represents the principles this country was built on.
His
name is Ron Paul, and he is the answer for the 2012 presidential
election.”
Eric Riedinger has owned his sign business ‘Attention Signs’ for
several years. He offered his take on the congressman’s readiness
to
make the tough but necessary decision: “Ron Paul
realizes our need to get realistic with our debt issues. He is
willing
to take bold steps to turn things around for our country. Dr.
Paul
will straighten this country out and get us back on track.”
Ryan Kirk, owner of an Ames-area IT business startup explains, “As an
entrepreneurial individual, I feel like small businesses already have
enough hoops to jump through. What’s worse is that the number of
hoops
seems to increase every year as new laws and policies are created to
the benefit of large companies, thwarting competition. Ron Paul
promises change for America that is more than just acquiescent lip
service. As a small business owner, I support Ron Paul
because of his clear foresight on issues such as reducing big
government, reigning in the Federal Reserve, Right-to-Work, and pro
growth tax reform.”
