Brian Brady about Ron Paul Visit in the U-T

Presidential candidate Ron Paul visited UCSD this past Friday night (which is in the 78th Assembly District).  The rally attracted about 5,000 people including Dan Hughes, candidate for US Senate and Monica Gaither, Mia Freymiller, Maureen Guffanti, Eric Andersen, Mat Huff, and Josh Silverman, all of whom are candidates for the San Diego County Republican Central Committee.

I was quoted in the article, written in the San Diego Union-Tribune, about his visit:

His message of limited government, sound money, a noninterventionist foreign policy and fidelity to the Constitution resonates with 15-20 percent of the Republican base but is accepted by more than half of those under 30, said Brady, a member of the Republican Liberty Caucus of San Diego.

Many youths previously captivated with President Barack Obama’s rhetoric have come to realize that liberty made this country great and are flocking to the consistent critic of the state. However, that message has been dampened by the media bias against Paul, Brady said.

It's no secret that I admire Congressman Paul for advancing the cause of Liberty.  His policies about monetary policy, fiscal policy, the failed war on drugs, and free market economics resonate with me.  While I sometimes disgree with the rhetoric he chooses, his message of not using our military to nation build or police the world, is consistent with the Founders and worthy of pursuit.

I was invited to volunteer at a luncheon that day by the campaign.  I spent about ten minutes with Congressman Paul before we started.  We spoke about how a debased currency contributes to moral decay in society.  The conversation was initiated by me and he listened intently while I repeated to him what he has been saying for 35 years.   Naturally, he urged me to continue to talk about this issue after November.  Dr, Paul is bright, humble, polite, and the epitome of a gentleman.
