[Lnc-business] 2015 and 2016 candidates with pledges

[Wes Benedict]

Ron Paul won a seat in the US Congress. His vote wasn't enough to cut 
government while in Congress. Then he lost two races for President and 
inspired thousands to join the fight for liberty.  One of the jobs of 
many of our candidates is to inspire hundreds or even thousands.
