Ron Paul's Campaign for Liberty

Congressman Ron Paul has ended his presidential campaign. He is now launching a new organization, Ron Paul's Campaign for Liberty.

Ron Paul's Campaign for Liberty

This is exactly the right thing to do. A grassroots activist organization fighting for less government could do a lot of good.

Ron Paul's campaign was incredible in many ways. It was largely organized by volunteers. It was a major presence on the internet. Supporters broke fundraising records. They won many straw polls.

Of course, it didn't do as well in the primaries, where people have an equal vote regardless how much or little they know or care about the issues.

But enthusiasm makes a great deal of difference in political activism. A small group of committed activists can make a lot happen.

The work of the Campaign for Liberty will take many forms. We will educate our fellow Americans in freedom, sound money, non-interventionism, and free markets. We’ll have our own commentaries and videos on the news of the day. I’ll work with friends I respect to design materials for homeschoolers.

Politically, we’ll expand the great work of our precinct leader program. We’ll make our presence felt at every level of government, where just a few people with our level of enthusiasm can make a world of difference. We’ll keep an eye on Congress and lobby against legislation that threatens us. We’ll identify and support political candidates who champion our great ideas against the empty suits the party establishments offer the public.

We will be a permanent presence on the American political landscape. That I promise you. We’re not about to let all this good work die. To the contrary, with your help we’re going to make it grow – by leaps and bounds.

Having thousands of people lobbying their representatives concerning legislation can make a big difference in what passes.

The Ron Paul campaign was big with the youth. That's important for the future, as many involved with it will become lifelong activists. It was also huge on the internet, which is great since the internet will become increasingly important as a source of news, activism, and education in the future.

Ron Paul's Campaign for Liberty offers the best hope of rolling back big government and preserving American sovereignty in a long time.
