Paul's "Family Education Freedom Act" (HR 935) is sweeping legislation that would restore to parents true control over the education of their children. Said Paul, "Unfortunately, Congress and the federal bureaucracy continue to strip authority away from parents, teachers and local school boards. It is time for Washington to return control of the nation's school system to the people who best know the needs of children --local communities and parents. The key to doing so is returning control of the education dollar back to the American people." The "Family Education Freedom Act" would give parents a $3,000 per year tax credit for each child's education-related expenses. ... house.gov & how is getting jobs into this depressed area of Tx (near 14% out of work) bad?

OT FOR RELEASE: February 16, 2000 Paul Stands Up for Rural Texas Youth Washington, D.C. - Today, Congressman Ron Paul introduced the "Agriculture Education Freedom Act." The bill was written to address the undue taxation of students who participate in programs such as 4-H or the Future Farmers of America. Currently, students are forced to pay federal income tax when they sell livestock raised as part of an agriculture education program. "These kids are trying to better themselves, and what does Congress do?" Paul asked. "We pick on these students by taxing them. They are not even old enough to vote, yet we are forcing them to pay taxes! Whatever happened to no taxation without representation? It's no wonder our young people have become so cynical of the government." Paul says these taxes discourage young people from participating in agricultural education programs, and they are another example of a growing federal government that punishes responsible students for preparing for the future. Paul said, "It is truly amazing that with all the talk in this Congress over the need to increase the size of the federal government 'for the children' that we would continue to tax students who are trying to do the right thing and further their education." "It is time the federal government stop taxing our youngsters who are trying to earn money to go to college through 4-H, FAA, and other agricultural education programs," said Paul. "I call on every member of Congress to join me in supporting the Agriculture Education Freedom Act." house.gov

OT FOR RELEASE: May 25, 1999 Paul says entire Cox Report must be examined Long-alleged espionage charges very troubling, aid to China must stop WASHINGTON, DC -- With the pending public release of the so-called Cox Report, which is reported to outline charges of cover-up and administrative mismanagement regarding alleged Chinese espionage, US Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) said Congress has a constitutional obligation to act quickly on substantiated information. "The allegations are very troubling and must be taken seriously," said Rep. Paul. "I supported an Inquiry of Impeachment against the President long before the Lewinski scandal precisely because of these allegations of Chinese spying and meddling in US elections." Rep. Paul said the House of Representatives should not delay investigations into the allegations. "I would rather see the complete report issued, rather than just the 70 percent which is slated to be released on Tuesday. This could represent the greatest breach of national security ever, and the American people deserve all the details," said Rep. Paul. One action the Congressman said should be immediately taken is the complete cessation of all foreign aid to China, as well as forbidding the Export-Import Bank from using American tax dollars to assist China. China is the second-largest recipient of Export-Import Bank subsidies. "For far too long the American people have been forced to subsidize the communist Chinese, under the false guise of free trade. Free trade is allowing individuals to exchange goods and services, not forcing Americans to subsidize with their involuntary tax dollars a brutal regime that runs completely contrary to our system of government, and has apparently been working to actually subvert our laws and institutions." The "Cox Report," being issued by a special select committee of the House of Representatives chaired by US Rep. Christopher Cox (R-California), is to be released on Tuesday. The report is reported to cover illegal technology transfers, stealing of nuclear secrets and the illegal campaign contributions of the Chinese in the 1996 election.
