Will they bring our troops home, make a speedy end to the war in Iraq, and prevent any future war of aggression? One of my 2008 Rebel with Just Cause Awards goes to Dr. Ron Paul for the Love Revolution he helped generate that is sweeping America, returning us to our roots of self-government, free of tyranny and big government oppression…
