To help Ron Paul gain the Republican nomination as president, I switched from the Libertarian Party to the Republican Party. Republicans will not lose any votes by supporters of Rick Santorum or Newt Gingrich because their supporters are only interested in voting for a Republican. Over the past decades, the Republican and Democratic parties have been responsible for the bankruptcy of the United States and failed foreign policies of backing toxic foreign nations that have led us to endless, useless wars. Without Ron Paul and a Congress that will back him up, it will be business as usual. This nation is running out of time to elect a president and Congress who will break ties to these toxic special interests.
