John Ramsey became old enough to buy a Carlsberg nine months ago. The 21-year-old college student from east Texas isn’t old enough to serve in Congress. His intellectual role model, U.S. Texas Representative Ron Paul, has been in Congress 22 years -- longer than Ramsey has been alive.
Yet, Ramsey is leaving a mark on U.S. politics that may outlast his political mentor and presidential candidate, Paul. The college senior spent $1.3 million of his own money to create a super-political action committee, Liberty for All Super PAC, that backs candidates who endorse what Ramsey calls “freedom philosophy.” The dogma includes policies championed by Paul, such as supporting free-market economics, protecting civil liberties, slashing government spending and opposing most U.S. military action.
The phrase 'political action committee' has become a four letter word to many Americans and thanks to Citizen's United, PACs can throw as much money as they wish into political campaigns. Critics of PACs say money shouldn't control politics and it leaves the average citizen voiceless, but what if you could start your own super PAC? John Ramsey, founder of Liberty for All Super PAC, and Preston Bates, executive director for the same organization, joins us to explain why they started their own super PAC.
