300 Students For Rand Chapters Established in 30 Days

300 Students For Rand Chapters Established in 30 Days

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Last month, Rand Paul for President (RPFP) launched a student organization effort across the nation with the goal of establishing 300 new college chapters within 30 days. During an address this evening at Iowa State University, Sen. Rand Paul announced that he has surpassed the set goal and established 339 new Students for Rand (SFR) chapters throughout all 50 states.

"My constitutional conservative message of liberty, individual freedom, and small government resonates with the youth of America. They are our future and without them, the Republican party cannot survive," Sen. Paul said.  "I am proud to announce that in just 30 days, we have established over 300 active Student for Rand chapters in all 50 states. The leave-me-alone coalition is alive and well, and together we will work to defeat the Washington machine and restore the American Dream."

"Students for Rand is truly the secret weapon in Sen Paul's arsenal," said Cliff Maloney, National Youth Director. "We set out to establish 300 SFR chapters in 30 days and we've blown past that, starting a total of 339 chapters. We are rapidly expanding our efforts and reigniting the flame of liberty among young Americans who want government to get out of the way and allow them to pursue their passions. SFR will show the Washington machine that the youth vote does matter."

Students for Rand is the official youth effort of the Rand Paul Presidential Campaign to recruit, organize, and mobilize young people to elect Senator Rand Paul as the next President of the United States. In this critical election, a well organized youth campaign will be the difference between winning and losing early primary or caucus states.

Students for Rand chapters will recruit new supporters, organize events, and mobilize students to vote for Rand Paul. Our mission is to build a youth army and establish an SFR chapter on every college campus in the United States.

CRUZ: We wish Governor Perry, Anita, Griffin, and Sydney the very best in what is certain to be decades of continued service to our Nation

HOUSTON, Texas — U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, today released the following statement in response to the announcement that former Texas Gov. Rick Perry has suspended his campaign for President:

“Gov. Rick Perry is a friend and a remarkable public servant. He is a proud veteran who bravely served our nation, and he was an extraordinary governor of Texas. As Texas Solicitor General, it was an honor to serve under him.

"Because of his principled leadership as the longest-serving governor in the state's history, Texas has become a haven for freedom, entrepreneurship, and limitless opportunity. The entire Republican field was unquestionably made stronger by the experience and wisdom he brought to the race.

"In honor of his passion for our veterans, Heidi and I have today made a personal contribution to both the Lone Survivor Foundation and the Chris Kyle Frog Foundation, in honor of Rick and Anita Perry, and we encourage everyone else to do the same."

"We wish Governor Perry, Anita, Griffin, and Sydney the very best in what is certain to be decades of continued service to our Nation."
