Even though I’ve switched my party affiliation to the Libertarian recently, I was put on the trail of 2008 Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul by a co-worker of mine, saying he ran a few years back as the Libertarian presidential candidate. As far as I can tell it seems he has always been a Republican except for the year he ran as a Libertarian president. Despite being a Republican from what I have gathered thus far he votes in line with libertarian ideals consistently. Anyways, the reason for this post is I was hoping someone out there knew where I can find the official voting records our Representatives, so I can confirm what I read so far at Wikipedia and his website.
But I was thinking you know what I should use that resource to look at every Representative, so I’m better informed on who is really telling the truth at campaign time. As words mean nothing my book. but actions do.
On the same token it would be nice to have the bills cross referenced with the bill it self so I can read and attempt to understand the implications and confirm that what the summary states, matches what is written in the bill.

This link at Project Vote Smart contains what seems to be virtually everything that the guy has voted yes, no, or no vote to:

Just glancing at it, it looks like he voted against the Patriot Act several times in its different manifestations… Looks like he “isn’t one” of the Republifascists.
