He wants to neuter the Federal Government.... they way it should be.

If you want to smoke weed and have an abortion... you move to a state that allows it. If you want no social programs, no taxes, and no abortion (or whatever mixture you desire - do not get tripped up on the options)... you would move to a state that meets your desires.

In the current system of a strong Federal Government we have a contstant "over hang" of a strong central government that is often at odds with what the people want. I will use California as an example... California voters voted for Medical Marijuana. This is contrary to the Federal Drug Laws. Who should have the final say? California or the Washington D.C.? The answer is clear.

So the same thing would happen with abortion. If people in Iowa vote to make abortion illegal... so be it. This entire abortion debate would be eliminated from presidential elections overnight. It would not be an issue that the Federal Government could get involved in.

The goal of the Ron Paul campaign is to smash the power of Washington D.C. Some do not want this to happen... There are people who depend upon upon Washington D.C. to control their lives... there are a large amount of people (myself included) that are tired (very tired) of the stranglehold that Washington D.C. has on this country.
