I cannot help but feel that Joseph Reisert's (Feb. 22) comments about Ron Paul are a bit undeserving.

First of all, Paul has a record in Congress of loyalty to the U.S. Constitution that stands alone in all of Congress.

I certainly hope that what Reisert means by compromise does not include compromise with that document to which all elected officials swear to uphold and to defend from all enemies, foreign and domestic.

When push comes to shove, it's this unlawful stuff we have in our pockets that's called money but is in reality no such thing -- it's this that is directly responsible for the downward economic spiral that our country is in. While the problem of correcting it certainly is a monumental problem I certainly would not want Paul to compromise his intent to change it.

I am a Paul delegate to the state convention, and proud to serve.
