Ron Paul Speaks on Life and Liberty to 1000 in Iowa
Campaign rally in key early primary state declared a smashing success
DES MOINES, IA – Presidential candidate Ron Paul held a rally celebrating "life and liberty" today at Hy-Vee Hall in Des Moines, Iowa. The event was held immediately after and next door to a Republican candidate forum sponsored by the Iowa Christian Alliance and Iowans for Tax Relief.
Dr. Paul was the only GOP candidate excluded from the forum, so his campaign threw an event of its own. Despite being planned in less than a week, Dr. Paul's event singlehandedly outdrew the other forum and its six participating candidates by several hundred attendees.
"Today, Ron Paul demonstrated how deeply his message of freedom and limited government is resonating across the nation," said campaign manager Lew Moore.
Dr. Paul, addressing a packed room, received numerous standing ovations and thunderous applause. Observers believe that this event was the biggest rally for a Republican candidate in Iowa during this campaign cycle.
"Ron Paul has generated more grassroots excitement and support than any other candidate in the race," continued Moore. "The campaign is building on this momentum around the country as we drive toward the nomination."
