VIDEO: Ron Paul on NDAA: 'Biggest Story' Nobody's Talking About

Ron Paul: "This [act] is really, really bad," and "very dangerous."

Although it was the last question of the night during a Monday night campaign stop at the Executive Court in Manchester, it was the one Ron Paul took the most time to explain – what is the National Defense Authorization Act and what should people understand about changes made for 2012.

The question came from Alex LaRoza of Bedford, a homeschooled high school student who asked Paul for his take on the controversial military spending bill. Afterward, LaRoza said that although he appreciated Paul's answer, it also makes him more nervous to think that Paul might not be his next president.

"He's our only hope for freedom," LaRoza said.
