2006 Ron Paul 99:1
Mr. PAUL. Mr. Speaker, with the passing last month of Helen Chenoweth-Hage, America
has lost one of its true champions of liberty
and constitutional government, and I have lost
a valued friend and colleague. When Helen
served in the House of Representatives, she
gained a national following for her principled
and uncompromising defense of private property,
the Second Amendment, American sovereignty,
and limited federal government.
2006 Ron Paul 99:2
Unlike all too many people who come to Washington, Helen never forgot the principles
that inspired her to seek office. I was honored
when Helen became the first member of Congress
to join my Liberty Caucus. She understood
the importance of creating a support
system to help members of Congress resist
the constant pressures to go along to get
along.
2006 Ron Paul 99:3
I will always cherish my memories of the time Helen and I served together in the
House, and I thank the Lord for enriching my
life and the lives of so many others by granting
us the opportunity to know Helen. I hope
that knowledge of how many freedom-lovers
across the country join Helens family in
mourning her loss provides some measure of
comfort to Helens family.
