Ron Paul to Announce Campaign is Really Over
Rep. Ron Paul will announce tonight his Presidential campaign is over and he’ll embark on a new political effort:
Rep. Ron Paul’s presidential campaign, a pugnacious, ideological crusade against big government and interventionist leanings in the Republican party, will officially end Thursday at a rally outside the Texas GOP’s convention, ABC News has learned.
Paul told supporters back in March, in a video posted on his Web site, that he was “winding down” his campaign and planning a new phase to what he and fans call their “revolution.”
The new phase of the revolution officially begins with a speech tonight in Houston and a Web video to be posted on his site, officially ending Paul’s presidential campaign and freeing up the more than $4.7 million in campaign cash for investment in a new advocacy group, The Campaign for Liberty.
The campaign will be to raise $35 million to elect like-minded candidate across the country.
I applaud Paul supporters for their energy and creativity. However, some of them think it’s just fine to deceive to advance a political agenda. Daily Paul publisher, Michael Nystrom, is going to St. Paul, but not as a Paul delegate:
Technically pledged to support former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney, Nystrom said he was elected as a delegate by speaking out at a party delegate meeting. Nystrom did not mention Paul’s name, “but I did mention his ideals, and I was elected.”
While there Nystrom plans to bring as many Paul signs as he can into the Xcel Energy Center even if he has to sneak them in. It’s dishonest people like that who think they can run the Republican Party.
