Get your facts straight not RePubThug or Paul B.S.

You're argument doesn't stand either way. Because all of the roads are paid for by a CONSUMPTION tax

Face it. This is not 1776. Times have changed. The founding fathers never conceived of cars, TV, computers or the Internet. but they did leave The Constitution open for change. Ron Paul believes The Constitution should have NO amendments. Including those that concern slavery or the right for women to vote.

the way roads are paid for would be right up RP's alley. Based on consumption.. I think you're quite safe with your women's rights and slavery with the current constitution. Let the fools running the show now touch it and you might have GMO foods REQUIRED by law like they have in the new Iraq constitution.
