Ron Paul spoke out on December 5th against HR 1955 “The Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act”. He missed the vote due to campaigning, but he wanted to be sure people knew his position on the bill. Those who know the way Paul votes already knew what his position would be. We were right.

Madame Speaker, I regret that I was unavoidably out of town on October 23, 2007, when a vote was taken on HR 1955, the Violent Radicalization & Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act.  Had I been able to vote, I would have voted against this misguided and dangerous piece of legislation. This legislation focuses the weight of the US government inward toward its own citizens under the guise of protecting us against “violent radicalization.”
