1. Trade: Paul has voted against 100% of all Free Trade Agreements, including Fast-Track, WTO entry, and PNTR with China. He's also sponsored legislation for U.S. withdrawal from the WTO.

2. Illegal Immigration: Paul has voted against all bills providing amnesty for illegal immigrants and their employers.

3. Civil Liberties: Paul has voted against every infringement of civil liberties, including the Patriot Act and illegal wiretapping.

4. Medicare Prescription Drug Act: Paul has voted to remove the ban on government negotiation of prescription drug prices.

5. Iraq: Paul has consistently voted against the Iraq War, both the initial authorization and the most recent funding bill (He was 1 of 2 Republicans voting against it.)

I don't agree with Paul on everything, including taxes and abortion. But I agree with him on more issues than I do with most Democrats. And Paul puts his "vote" where his mouth is. He doesn't support the Iraq War and he makes no excuses for voting against it. And though his stated reasons for voting against unrestricted free trade are somewhat unclear, he's nonetheless voted NO on every single free trade agreement.

Currently, he's the most pro-worker, pro-middle class candidate running.
