I want to set you free. I want a government so small, you can barely see it. President paul. President paul. President paul. President paul. Mr. Paul for several years i have been fighting a law that allows americans to be imprisoned without a jury trial. It was signed by president obama a few years ago. My fear is that one day i president might use indefinite ,etention the same way fdr did to send japaneseamericans to internment camps, or detain africanamericans like they did in the old south. Power corrupts. As we have seen with an outofcontrol irs, using its power to harass and intimidate conservatives for their political beliefs. The irs presumes you are guilty until proven innocent.
