Ron Paul argues that “the real solutions to our problems will not
be found in the halls of government, but rather with ‘We The People.’”
BATON ROUGE, Louisiana – 2012
Republican Presidential candidate Ron Paul was endorsed today by
Louisiana Republican State Central Committeeman Harold Williams of
Baton Rouge. Mr. Williams also is the former Chairman of the East
Baton Rouge Parish Republican Party, an area of about 440,000 Bayou
State residents.
In publicly endorsing Ron Paul, Mr. Williams issued the following
statement:
“I support Ron Paul because of his bold stance against overreaching
government bureaucracies and his loyal opposition against unnecessary
taxes. Like Ron Paul, I too believe that every American is
entitled to the fruits of their labor.
“We need regulatory relief, real spending cuts and a balanced
budget. I am often reminded of quote from Dr. Benjamin E. Mays,
‘Every man and woman is born into the world to do something unique and
something distinctive and if he or she does not do it, it will never be
done.’
“Ron Paul is the only candidate that is effectively articulating that
the real solutions to our problems will not be found in the halls of
government, but rather with ‘We The People.’”
Harold Williams has been involved in leadership roles for many years,
responsible for advocacy and consensus building within numerous civic
organizations. In addition, Mr. Williams became the first African
American since Reconstruction to serve in the position of Chairman of
the Republican Party of East Baton Rouge Parish.
Harold has over 11 years of experience as a successful entrepreneur
directing fiscal operations, supervising 16 employees, marketing
company services, negotiating contracts, and profitably resolving
problems to ensure repeat business and satisfied customers. He
also has managed the daily operations of a petroleum management firm
engaged in national and international planning and development.
This announcement has been preceded by earlier declarations of support
by Louisiana State Rep. Joel Robideaux and former state GOP Deputy
Chair Charlie Davis.
Providing a strong boost to Ron Paul’s Louisiana state organization,
such endorsements present Ron Paul as the conservative alternative to
Mitt Romney. They also demonstrate that the 12-term Congressman
from Texas has the only campaign organization capable of maintaining a
50-state competition with the moderate-establishment Romney.
