I think this book is a bit longer than 25 pages and hope writers will include a page count on Amazon's Kindle book site.

As for the content, I very much appreciated clarification on Ron Paul's platform. It doesn't seem unacceptable to me. I actually think his ideas go in the right direction if he doesn't take them too far overboard. The first chapters were strictly author opinion, but I'm always up for hearing what people feel matters to them. Worth my recommendation and I may just search out his autobiography, if there is one.
