Paul stands tall with talk on freedom

It looks like Rick Beltram was happy with this weekend's turnout.

He accused the government of "creating money out of thin air," straying from the constitutional monetary standards of gold and silver. And he said he's against abortion because a fetus has the same rights as an adult human being.
