6:39 am on January 1, 2008While most of the politicians vying for their party’s nomination for President of the United States pay lip service to the nation’s law enforcement officers, Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) is actually doing something to earn the respect and gratitude of America’s cops, according to many police officers and organizations.
For example, the American Federation of Police — with well over 100,000 members — recently praised Ron Paul for introducing a bill that would help cops obtain topnotch body armor that would withstand rounds fired from most firearms. Rep. Paul’s bill — HR 3304 — would amend the Internal Revenue Code to provide for a tax credit to law enforcement officers who purchase their own body armor.
“I urge all police officers and concerned citizens to contact their congressmen and ask them to support Rep. Paul’s bill,” said Deputy Sheriff Dennis Wise, president of the American Federation of Police.
“I would also like to applaud Congressman Ron Paul for his support and forward thinking in trying to help make law enforcement officers across our nation safer each day,” said Wise.
