U.S. Presidential Candidate Most in Favor of Raw Milk

U.S. presidential candidate Ron Paul (R-Texas) has introduced legislation (HR 4077) that would allow the transportation and sale of raw milk and raw milk products. His bill would remove an unconstitutional restraint on farmers who wish to sell these products, and people who wish to consume them.

Ron Paul took this action after he heard from many people who would like to purchase unpasteurized milk -- people who had done their own research and come to the conclusion that unpasteurized milk is healthier than pasteurized milk.

“These Americans have the right to consume these products without having the federal government second-guess their judgment about what products best promote health,” Paul said.

“I urge my colleagues to join me in promoting consumers’ rights, the original intent of the Constitution, and federalism by cosponsoring my legislation to allow the interstate sale of unpasteurized milk and milk products,” he continued.

Dr. Mercola''s Comments Dr. Mercola's Comments:

Ron Paul is committed to making positive changes in the health-care arena, and this move to legalize the sale of raw milk proves that.

Raw milk is truly a health-promoting food, but the way the laws are currently configured, many Americans are forced to break the law to obtain it.

As Ron Paul stated, most of you who drink raw milk are doing so because you have done the research, or experienced the benefits first-hand. The federal government really has no place telling you what is healthy for you and your family.

Ironically, the same government that allows trans fats, fast food and corn syrup to proliferate the market thinks that you need to be “protected” from the valuable nutrients in raw milk. If you follow the money trail, you will indeed find out the very precise reason why this is.

If this legislation is passed, it would make obtaining healthy raw milk so much easier for many of you, and I applaud Ron Paul for introducing it.

In case you aren’t familiar with some of Paul’s other health-related opinions, he believes in:
  • Expanding the ability of Americans to use alternative medicine and new treatments.
  • Opposing legislation that increases the FDA‘s legal powers.
  • The notion that the government should never have the power to require immunizations or vaccinations.
More so than any other presidential candidate, Ron Paul is trying to improve the fatally flawed health paradigm in time to benefit you and your children.

So What Can YOU Do?

If you agree with Ron Paul’s message of health freedom and liberty then JOIN THE CAUSE!

I have never donated to any politician in my life. However, I am going to break that pattern now by contributing to the next Ron Paul drive on December 16. If you are considering donating to Ron Paul, do NOT do it until that time.

You see it is NOT directly about the money. He is only going to use the money to gather media attention -- and by collecting so much money he has gathered millions of dollars of media attention that he could never afford to buy. This helped spread his message of freedom and liberty, which are both currently at risk in the United States.

If you can’t afford to donate, that is no problem. What you CAN do is SPREAD the word.

Search my site for previous Ron Paul videos and send them to ALL of your friends and relatives, and encourage them to sign up for the December 16 campaign.

There are 1.3 million people that receive this newsletter. We CAN make a HUGE difference. If only a small fraction of you spread this message in YOUR networks and communities just imagine what we can do.

So drive everyone you know and have them join the Ron Paul Boston Tea Party Campaign on December 16. This date is in celebration of the 234th anniversary of the Boston Tea Party in which the founding fathers of the United States made a difference that ultimately freed them from the largest military force on the planet at that time.

Also, if you want to show your support for Ron Paul in your neighborhood, get a yard sign.


If you saw the amazing water buffalo video you can start to realize that if we all unite together we really do have a chance to overthrow the lions that are trying to eat us alive.

If you're interested in keeping health freedom, or any other freedoms that we are little by little losing, vote for Ron Paul in your state's upcoming primary. Like Dr. Mercola said, another money bomb on Dec. 16 will force the mainstream media to give him the exposure he needs! His campaign is going through a huge momentum growth as more and more people are finding out about him. To see how popular he is around the rest of the world, whose people are fortunate enough to have had more exposure to him than we are in the U.S, go to

www.whowouldtheworldelect.com

It takes 3 seconds to vote for the candidate of your choice, then it will take you to a page that shows you who the people in every civilized country would vote for, if they could. The proof is there--if the world could vote in the US election, it's a LANDSLIDE! THE WORLD WOULD VOTE FOR RON PAUL!

Thank you for the link!  It looks like it'd be a landslide if only the Americans could vote in the US election!

Way to go Mercola!  Nice to see someone with the courage to speak his convictions even if it might "offend" some and even lose business.  You are indeed a man of principle.

Meetup.com - IS AMAZING.  Ron Paul groups have formed in 29 countries, yes countries.  Find out what the enthusiasm is all about. He has almost 14,000 groups that started spontaneously.  Find a local Ron Paul group and get involved.  Every bit helps.  It is easy to complain about all of our problems since traditional democrats and republicans have sold out the working people a long time ago.

But we finally have a chance to effect positive change.  Don't let this moment in history pass you by, we are losing our freedoms and may never have such an honest man like Ron Paul.  

I don't agree with him on everything, but far far more than any other of the other people.

Google or ask.com to learn more about Ron Paul.

YouTube has plenty of his videos.

If you value your health freedoms now is the time to act.

Turn off the TV – Get active Get involved, you’ll be glad you did.

Dr. Ron Paul cured my apathy

Ron Paul is indeed the last hope for this country.  We are on a slippery slope of decline.   Our money is being devalued, our country more and more in debt, our freedoms lost.   Politicians are more interested in getting reelected than doing the right thing (with a few exceptions).  

As a home schooler, non vaccinator, raw milk drinker, organic food advocate, and many many issues, Ron is the ONLY candidate.  

Hillary scares the %^&*@# out of me.  When I read what she says and what she is planning to do, I get IBS...:) (nice way to put it).  

I dont think Mitt has a spine, Guiliani is a puppet, Mike Huckabee is a decent guy, but does not fullly think for himself.  McCain scares me more and more.  

Read Ron Paul on the issues on his website. www.RonPaul2008.com

There are no other possible candidates in my opinion.  

GO Ron Paul!

It appears that Huckabee has a truth telling problem, start looking at current reports on his 'ethical' issues.  Plus he says he's pro-life but is also pro-death penalty.  Can a person be pro-'some'life and not others?

He scares me.

deedles: "...he says he's pro-life but is also pro-death penalty.  Can a person be pro-'some'life and not others?"

"Pro-life" is opposed to killing the innocent - abortion & euthanasia.

"Pro-death penalty" is in favor of killing the guilty (of committing murder, such as abortion & euthanasia) as a punishment of the guilty and a deterrent to others.
