Don't be fooled! THE REAL RON PAUL

During fiscal year 2011 he was one of only four Republicans to request earmarks and here is what he wanted from our federal tax dollars:

•$8 million from federal taxpayers for Recreational Fishing Piers.
•$2.5 million from taxpayers for “new benches, trash receptacles, bike racks, decorative street lighting.”
•$2.5 million from taxpayers to modify medians and sidewalks for an “Economically Disadvantaged” area.
•$2.5 million from federal taxpayers for a “Revelation Missionary Baptist Community Outreach Center.”
•$38 million in multiple requests for literacy programs to “encourage parents to read aloud to their children.”
•$18 million from federal taxpayers for a Commuter Rail Preliminary Engineering Phase (light rail).
•$4 million from federal taxpayers for the “Trails and Sidewalks Connectivity Initiative.”
•$11 million from federal taxpayers for a “Community-Based Job Training Program.”
•$2 million from federal taxpayers for a “Clean Energy” pilot project.
•$5 million from federal taxpayers in order to build a parking garage.
•$1.2 million for a “Low-income working families Day Care Program”
•$4.5 million from federal taxpayers for a new Youth Fair facility

He will request the earmarks and then vote against them in a truly hypocritical little dance he does each year to maintain the myth that he is against this type of spending, while he still brings home the pork for his district.
