Ron Paul Will Have 500 Delegates at the RNC: 10 Reasons He Should Speak at the GOP Convention

• Ron Paul Will Have 500 Delegates at the RNC
• Are the RNC and the GOP finally waking up to the significant sized dissent that is their own party? Inviting Paul to speak at the convention will likely answer that question. Only time will tell
• 1) Delegates, Delegates, Delegates
• Additionally, the Paul delegates could actually select the vice presidential pick if Romney indeed gets selected as the nominee. Much political coverage has been dedicated to the yawning "Veepstakes," but if the RNC were to actually follow their own rules, Paul could easily be nominated VP.
• 2) Ron Paul Will Not Endorse Mitt Romney
• After all, Paul reasons, Romney agrees with little to any that Paul believes in,
• 3) A Platform to Ignite the Party
• If Paul's eventual speech at the convention is anything like the hundreds of speeches he gave across the country in the last year, then the GOP won't know what hit them.
• Fellow PolicyMic columnist Allan Stevo reported that "After Ron Paul spoke in Sparks, Nevada ... observers took note of Mitt Romney supporters crumpling up their Romney signs and vowing to vote for Paul.
• 4) Actual Cuts in Spending
• Now that the deficits are in the trillions, Paul's message — and budget proposal that would cut $1 trillion and eliminate five cabinet departments
• 5) War and Peace
• A majority of Americans want the U.S. out of Afghanistan and a reduction in foreign military intervention in general.
• Paul's message of peace and non-intervention helps make the GOP an actual alternative to Obama.
• 6) Civil Liberties
• A Paul speech at the convention would no doubt include a firm defense of the Bill of Rights, opposition to NDAA, Bradley Manning, the PATRIOT Act, opposition to the drug war, and articulate why Republicans should value civil liberties just as much as economic liberties.
• 7) The Fed
• With Paul's "Audit the Fed" bill moving forward, now would be the most opportune time to make this a huge part of the convention.
• With Paul's help, the GOP could adopt a strong position on auditing the Federal Reserve and reversing course on decades of terrible monetary policy.
• 8) The Party Platform
• Paul has said he wants to see the GOP adopt as part of the platform moves to audit the Federal Reserve, abolishing the Sixteenth Amendment, protection of civil liberties, etc.
• 9) Re-thinking Romney
• Paul represents a synthesis of what many people already understand: that Romney and Obama are identical on any and every key issue facing America (literally 100 of them).
• 10) Paul Deserves It
• Since 1976, he has been an advocate of limited government, peace, free markets, a sound currency, and civil liberties in every step of his career as congressman, author, and even in his private practice as a doctor.
• For the sake of the party, and more importantly, the future of the country, Paul needs to be heard loud and clear.
