‘Youth
for
Ron
Paul’ Member Total Exceeds 110,000 Lifelong Small-Government
Activists
Supporters in 627 nationwide chapters
commit to lasting political reform as they carry responsibility to
govern their lives and bring about real change
LAKE JACKSON, Texas – The Ron Paul 2012 Presidential campaign announced
today that its ‘
Youth for Ron Paul’ (YFP) program membership has
surpassed the 110,000 mark.
Since the program launched in September 2011, and as of yesterday, the
number of
YFP members was 110,880. Members have
established 627 sanctioned chapters in all 50 states plus the District
of Columbia.
Young supporters including college-age activists and new workforce
entrants established these chapters nationwide to remain politically
involved expressly to challenge the status quo, bring about lasting
prosperity, and work toward the full, permanent restoration of their
economic and civil liberties. Ron Paul, the champion of these
aims,
often declares that the free-market and constitutional ideas he
espouses are young ones, and that an idea whose time has come stands no
chance of being stopped. The intellectual revolution youth are
bringing about, then, is a manifestation of all that Dr. Paul hopes to
achieve through his lifelong advocacy and pursuit of our nation’s
highest office.
“Young Americans are often viewed as a solid constituency for the left
and establishment Washington, who make promise after promise about a
federal government that will ‘take care of them’ from cradle to the
grave. Now it’s clear that more than 110,000 young Americans
reject
this empty rhetoric and have committed themselves to the principles of
constitutionally-limited government and the restoration of their
economic and civil liberties as real solutions to our nation’s
challenges,” said Ron Paul 2012 National Campaign Manager John Tate.
