Ron
Paul Statement on Campaign Going Forward
Efforts so far put supporters “in a
tremendous position to grow our movement and shape the future” of the
Republican Party
LAKE JACKSON, Texas – 2012
Republican Presidential candidate Ron Paul issued the following
statement to supporters, members the media, and interested parties
concerning his campaign going forward. Below please find comments
from
Congressman Paul:
“I wanted you to get an update from me personally, since we have some
great news!
“Due to the smart planning of our campaign and the hard work and
diligence of supporters like you, we stand to send nearly 200 bound
delegates to the Republican National Convention in Tampa. This number
shatters the predictions of the pundits and talking heads and shows the
seriousness of our movement.
“What's more, we will send several hundred additional supporters to
Tampa who, while bound to Romney, believe in our ideas of liberty,
constitutional government, and a common-sense foreign policy.
“When it is all said and done, we will likely have as many as 500
supporters as delegates on the Convention floor. That is just
over 20
percent!
“And while this total is not enough to win the nomination, it puts us
in a tremendous position to grow our movement and shape the future of
the GOP!
“I hope every one of you continues the fight we have advanced so well
this year. I hope you will finish your local and state
conventions,
and, if you were selected as a national delegate, that you will head to
Tampa in August to force the Republican Party to listen to the voice of
liberty.
“We have never had this kind of opportunity. There will be
hundreds of
your fellow supporters in Tampa who will be ready and willing to push
the Republican Party back to its limited government, liberty roots.
“There are many issues to fight for in Tampa. Also, candidates
like
Justin Amash, Kurt Bills, and Thomas Massie need your support as we
move into the fall. Across the country, supporters of liberty
have won
local office and leadership positions in the GOP, and we need to keep
working.
“Our delegates’ presence must be felt both in Tampa and in years to
come.
“Stand up for what we believe in. Be respectful. And let
the
establishment know that we are the future of the Party and of the
country.
“Our Revolution is just getting started. You'll be hearing plenty
from
me as we approach Tampa and the fall elections. You'll also be
hearing
of important developments on Audit the Fed and Campaign for Liberty.
“I hope you'll continue to stand with me as we go forward. Our
Revolution could not have come this far without you.
“For Liberty,
Ron Paul”

WASHINGTON, June
5,
2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Former Presidential
Candidate Gary Bauer congratulated Governor Scott
Walker for his win in Wisconsin's
recall
election,
calling
it
"another
sign
that
taxpayers will award
office holders ready to do the hard work of reigning in out-of-control
government spending."
Bauer, the chairman of the Campaign for Working Families, made
the following statement:
"I congratulate Governor Scott Walker
for his hard-fought victory tonight, and most especially for having the
courage of his convictions to fight the good fight. But the victory in Wisconsin is not Scott
Walker's alone. It is a victory for the hard-working
taxpayers of Wisconsin,
who foot the bill year after year. It is a victory for common
sense
over powerful special interests. It is a victory that taxpayers
in
every state can celebrate. It is a victory, yes, even for some
union
members.
"Since
Gov. Walker's reforms were enacted, tens of thousands of state
employees have opted to keep more of the money they earn rather than
let the public employees union siphon off their hard-earned
dollars.
In other words, once given the choice, more than half of the public
employees union's members decided that they didn't need the
union.
These reforms will pay real dividends for the taxpayers of
Wisconsin.
They are the real winners tonight.
"The recall election is a sign of good things to come. The
power of the Big Labor bosses has finally been checked, not just in Wisconsin,
but also in scores of other states across the country. More
governors,
legislators and taxpayers will be inspired to stand up against the
liberal labor unions and do what is truly in the best interests of
their communities. Wisconsin's
10
Electoral College votes are now in play, and the anti-tax, small
government movement that swept the country in 2010 is about to sweep Barack Obama out of office in 154 days!"
