Honest Productive Americans,
Coincidentally the link above mentions a choice for Vice President that isn't meant to put the vice back into Vice President, and that choice was also my choice.
Here is the choice according to the link above:
Karen Kwiatkowski. She is a retired U.S. Air Force Lieutenant Colonel and a regular contributor to LewRockwell.com. She is currently running for the 6th District of Virginia House seat. Her place on the ticket would underscore, ever the more, that of all Republican candidates for president, Ron Paul not only receives the most donations from members of the U.S. military, he garners more from this source than all of the others put together. If her presence on the ticket will not banish forever the calumny that Dr. Paul is "weak" on defense, then nothing will. If Hillary is Obama’s VP choice in 2012, Colonel Kwiatkowski’s presence on the Paul team will help counteract that perceived benefit. However, Congressman Paul will not choose her for that reason. He will do so, if he does, because he trusts Karen Kwiatkowski to promote liberty, freedom, and constitutionalism. Can you imagine the magnificent thrashing Karen will give Hillary in a Vice-Presidential debate!?!
Here is me being ahead of that curve:

At the second post I linked "VP Choice still", which is this link:

We may safely view recent events in Egypt as a living revelation that the U.S. government stands shamefully in a nasty group of "governments," that includes the unelected and unpopular religious government of Iran, the corrupt state capitalism of China, the elected warmongerers in nationalist Israel, and many less important dictators in Africa and East Asia. The Egyptian people, on many levels, have pulled away the curtain, revealing American hypocrisy and the hard-core interests of the American ruling elite.
The veteran is up to speed, and a valuable resource in the battle to avoid those things that destroy Liberty.
A very good choice for VP, on many levels, and most importantly on the level whereby someone having worked in the Military lends a link when communication with the people in the Military is needed. It will be vital to the next president, assuming that the next president represents Honest Productive Americans, which include The Honest Productive Military Soldiers, of all ranks, in America, to promote the Honest ones, and demote those who have proven not to be friends of Liberty, and having the right link to the Military in the office of vice president will facilitate that goal expediently.
I have yet to read the rest of the link at the top of this page, and before doing so a few thoughts on the choice for vice president is in order, offered for your consideration.
The road back to Liberty, following a path from abject slavery, where we are now, back to something resembling a Republic, will be a very dangerous path, and cross hairs will likely be seeking those who are moving best on that path back to liberty, certainly a president and vice president gaining the office of the Nation State power apparatus, where the president can name anyone as a terrorist, at will, and then have that targeted individual spirited away to some dungeon, to be tortured for fun, or for confessions, or to cause a very slow and painful death.
Those who are guilty of those legal crimes, have become very powerful to get to that point, where they can make torture, and mass murder legal, and get away with it for so long, and therefore they will know the score, and they will feel the heat, and they already know what must be done, and they will act upon that knowledge, and I'm not ignorant about this, and I'm not stupefied by this knowledge, and this understanding helps in the effort to choose a vice president.
The vice president has to be impeccable, as a replacement in case the enemies of Liberty succeed in eliminating a president who is on the side of Liberty. The right vp is essential so as to carry the torch, and to balance the scale, and to be the president as required in this struggle, and that vice president candidate must also know the same score, the same risk, the same target placed on the same office for the same reasons.
That vice president choice, that person, knows the score, read the words written, and see how those words are genuine, honest, accurate, and effective.
If a president is hired for the quality of honesty, rather than for dishonesty, so must be the vice president. Yes or no?
I would interview candidates for vice president and I have a go or no go rule.
Does the person understand the goal; which is to remove all remnants of involuntary association from the working Democratic Federated Republic in this work to avoid the forces that destroy Liberty? If the answer is no, or I don't understand, and if after explaining, step, by step, how that road can be traversed, and the answer is still an obvious I don't understand, or no you can't do that, and there is no reasonable explanation of why that can be done that way, then I'll look for someone who can get the job done, even if they have a different method.
I see no reason why, from what I know so far, that Ron Paul would not pass the same test. Ron Paul would make a very good Vice President. He is working the same goal, as far as I can tell, and he is even using a very similar, if not principally the same, path.
The path, principally speaking, is to make monetary competition legal within the Federation; which is the removal of draconian laws. That is principally the same goal, and that is principally the same method, my method offers a different initial competitor to help get the ball rolling. Ron Paul offers a return to gold as the Federal governments legal money, which will certainly place a very strict, hard money, limit on Federal spending, and so long as Ron Paul keeps his promise, to remove the legal tender laws, and allow competitors in money markets to compete, so long will his method work the same as mine, as the quality of money will be forced up, by competition, and the cost of money will be forced down.
A Federal government shackled with a competitive gold standard may actually become the winning competitor, and it may not, let the chips, or gold coins, fall as they may.
Which money will the Federal government accept as payment of taxes?
Think.
Use your brain.
If there is a return to a working Democratic Federated Republican form of government, a competitive, experimental form of government, by design, instead of a Nation State Dictatorial Slave State, then you have to know by which method the Federal government is financed.
1. Nation State = Taxation of individual human beings, people, such as the method of direct taxation, an involuntary income tax, payable in one, and only one single, money, and no other money, just the one monopoly money produced by the Nation State Bank.
2. Democratic Federated Republic = Sovereign and Separate State Governments pay into the voluntary association agreed upon, so as to finance the Democratic Federated Republic, an indirect tax. States pay taxes to the Federation, or Republic, not taxes payed directly by The People to the one Nation State.
If Ron Paul's version of the Republic returns to a true gold standard, as I understand it to be, then the State governments will have to accumulate gold to pay into the Federation and how each State figures out how to do that is a level of competition among the Separate and Sovereign State governments. There is no Nation State reaching into the pockets of The People, that ends. Ron Paul ends that, and if you don't know yet the full measure of the threat that Ron Paul represents to the Legal Criminals this may clue you in.
If each Nation State does not have the nanny state enforcing a money monopoly then any of the individuals who are The People are individuals who can invent their own forms of money, and Ron Paul's Republic will not enforce the destruction of such competition. Ron Paul will not, as far as I know, enforce a law that prevents a State government from enforcing it's own gold standard either. So in Ron Paul's Republic a State within the Republic can collect it's own gold directly from The People in that State, so one State can do that, while another State can avoid that, and that is the force of competition, this Free Market thing, at work within a Democratic Federated Republican form of government.
Suppose we look ahead at this Ron Paul Republic, as far as I understand it. Let's suppose.
New Jersey has to come up with gold to pay into it's membership into the Republic, and the politicians in New Jersey decide to enforce their own gold monopoly bank routine on the tax payers in New Jersey, making the tax payers pay their State taxes with gold, and only gold. What happens if New York State allows gold and silver? What happens if New Hampshire allows gold, silver, and old Federal Reserve notes, or dollars, as payments for taxes in New Hampshire?
Do you get the picture?
There will be a fight to enforce an exchange rate. Ron Paul knows how gold works. Gold will be much less susceptible to sudden changes in the total supply in circulation compared to the old Federal Reserve notes, which have suddenly increased by twice the amount, or halved suddenly, as those Legal Criminals manipulated that supply of legal monopoly money to cause booms and busts.
If Massachusetts decides to issue it's own experimental currency, to cause a boom in Massachusetts, what prevents tax payers from leaving New York, to join in on the boom? What prevents them from leaving Massachusetts when that boom turns to bust? How do the Massachusetts governors get the gold they need to pay into the Federation? What is the exchange rate between gold and the new Massachusetts paper money? Who enforces, or determines, the exchange rate?
Ron Paul get's gold as payment for taxes, from each State, or that State is guilty of not paying into the Federation. What happens, if the State governors default? Ron Paul says, you get no help from U.S., have a nice day?
Will the tax payers get tired of moving, grow some balls, and begin to employ their own brains, and their own power of will, invent, produce, and maintain an accurate, powerful, high quality, and low cost money, once it is no longer against the law in Ron Paul's Republic, and will most of them decide to use gold so long as it remains to be better than the competition to date?
You tell me.
