Dear friend of liberty,

When I retired from Congress, Ben Bernanke and his cronies at the Federal Reserve thought they'd gotten off "scot-free."

The biggest "thorn in their side" was now gone.

Well, I hate to burst their bubble, but they're wrong.

In fact, my fight to restore the Founding principles of individual liberty, free markets, sound money, and constitutional government is far from over.

In many ways, it's just begun.

The American people are FED UP with the Big Government, big spending status quo in Washington.

As a result, brushfires of liberty are springing up all across the country.

And considering all the achievements you and I have made over the last few years, the future of our movement looks brighter than ever.

Today, I wanted to take a moment to share some of those successes with you.

In the "First in the Nation" state of Iowa, friends of liberty have made tremendous strides in getting elected or reelected to major offices within the state Republican Party.

A former high-ranking officer of the Iowa GOP has gone on record talking about how many people "from the Campaign for Liberty" have taken over prominent positions, and his statement came before their latest election, when one of my supporters was elected as co-chair of the Iowa GOP!

Members of our movement now hold the chair, co-chair, Executive Director, Organization Director, and Finance Chair positions in the Iowa GOP.

In Missouri - the largest caucus state in the nation - grassroots liberty activists mobilized and successfully elected an anti-establishment candidate as Chairman of the Missouri Republican Party, beating the hand-picked candidate of Senator Roy Blunt.

In Nevada, liberty-minded Republicans gained control of the majority of the state and municipal party leadership.

In Alaska, my supporters will soon be sworn in to top positions within the Republican Party - including Chairman and Vice Chairman.

And in Maine, Washington State, and many other states and localities across the country, the same holds true, as liberty-minded activists are getting elected to positions of party leadership.

Zachary, as you can see, our liberty movement has never been so strong.

And Campaign for Liberty is just getting started.

With your continued support, we will see the day respect for individual liberty and constitutional principles are finally restored in America.

Thank you for all of your hard work in defense of freedom.

I'm looking forward to all you and I will achieve together in the future.

In Liberty,

Ron Paul
Chairman

P.S. Thanks to the tireless work of Campaign for Liberty members and supporters, our liberty movement has never been so strong.

But this is just the beginning.

To help Campaign for Liberty continue to lead the fight to restore constitutional government in America, would you please chip in $10, $25 - or whatever you can afford - TODAY?

Ron Paul wins Iowa!


Long-term strategy pays off this weekend as Dr. Paul wins 21 of 25 delegates elected in the nation’s most politically important state

LAKE JACKSON, Texas – 2012 Republican Presidential candidate Ron Paul has won a significant majority of Iowa’s Republican delegates to the national convention in Tampa.

Dr. Paul won 10 of 13 delegates elected at today’s state convention in addition to having won 11 of 12 delegates elected at last night’s district conventions, for a weekend total of 21 of 25 contestable delegates, all unbound.

Dr. Paul’s victory in the Hawkeye State affirms his delegate-attainment strategy and it has the added benefit of having occurred in the first-in-nation voting state, also a swing state.

“We thank the many Iowa Republican activists for working tirelessly toward this meaningful victory, in particular the work they performed in the service of constitutional government and personal liberty.  This win is a real validation for our campaign and its many supporters in Iowa and across our great nation,” said Ron Paul 2012 National Campaign Chairman Jesse Benton.

“We look forward to bringing the Ron Paul delegation to Tampa and to making a significant, positive contribution to the 2012 Republican Party Platform,” added Mr. Benton.

ICYMI: Ron Paul Supporters in Iowa Make GOP Inroads for RNC and Long-term Battle of Ideas


“A rising tide of Republicans who share Ron Paul’s philosophy of limited government are flooding into GOP party roles in Iowa.” – Des Moines Register

LAKE JACKSON, Texas – Supporters of 2012 Republican Presidential candidate Ron Paul were elected last night to state Republican Party positions helpful for his delegate-attainment strategy, and for ensuring that constitutionally-limited government has a voice in the state party.  At four district conventions held Saturday, party activists tied to Paul won seats in the state nomination committee that selects at-large delegates to the Republican National Convention in Tampa, and in the state central committee, writes the influential Des Moines Register.

A rising tide of Republicans who share Ron Paul’s philosophy of limited government are flooding into GOP party roles in Iowa.

Like the anti-abortion movement and tea partiers that made in-roads into GOP politics here in recent years, Paul loyalists want to send a message to party leaders, the governor, the state legislature and the nation, they said Saturday.

Six of the new Iowa GOP state central committee members elected Saturday have publicly expressed support for Paul, a libertarian-leaning presidential candidate: Joel Kurtinitis, Kris Thiessen, Dave Cushman, Jeff Shipley, John Kabitzke and Marcus Fedler.  Two more have close ties.

“Ron Paul’s display of strength is to encourage their followers to say, ‘We have the numbers. Join us and we can accomplish even more,’” said Gopal Krishna, a popular longtime central committee member who has declined to reveal his caucus vote.  “Because once they’re a force to be reckoned with, everybody starts to cater to them.”
