Ron Paul's Most Memorable Moments

A look at some of his more famous stands and speeches

Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) said farewell to Congress on Wednesday in a 48-minute speech on the House floor. The 77-year-old is wrapping up his seventh term representing the Lone Star State's 14th District, and his 11th term overall in the House.

We look back below at the most memorable moments in his career. (What stood out to you? The comments section awaits.)
