Early Life

Paul grew up during The Great Depression, and worked at his father's dairy starting at age 5. He married his high-school sweetheart, Carol Wells, on February 1, 1957.

Paul attended medical school at Duke University, earning his degree in 1961. He was drafted into the U.S. Air Force during the Cuban Missile Crisis and remained in the military through the start of the Vietnam War, serving as an active-duty flight surgeon, but was never actually sent to Vietnam.

Congress

Paul says he was inspired to enter politics after President Richard Nixon moved American currency off the gold standard, which he felt would lead to a money crisis. He won a special election in 1976, to fill a seat vacated when Robert R. Casey was appointed to head the Federal Maritime Commission.

Once in Congress, Paul founded the Foundation for Rational Economics and Education, dedicated to the promotion of limited government.

Runs for President

Paul ran for President as the Libertarian Party candidate in 1988, beating out Native American activist Russell Means and musician Frank Zappa for the nomination. He placed third in the general election.

Paul declared his intention to run for President again on C-SPAN on March 12, 2007. His strong grassroots support, much of it coming in over the Internet, gave him the largest single-day fundraising total in U.S. History - over $6 million. Much of his candidacy has revolved around his anti-interventionist foreign policy, and his strong opposition to U.S. involvement in Iraq.
