Ron Paul looks to take movement beyond Presidential campaign

Ron Paul is looking to take the movement he started with his Presidential campaign and propel it forward beyond the 2008 Presidential elections in order to have a positive impact in the United States and abroad.

In a video released on his Presidential campaign’s website late Thursday night, Ron Paul mentioned several ways that he will continue to spread his message, despite the fact that his Presidential campaign will not attain victory, barring a miracle.

Ron Paul stated that he already has a multi-candidate Political Action Committee called the Liberty PAC, the goal of the Liberty PAC will be to support like-minded candidates running for office at every level of government.

In the video Ron Paul also mentions the F.R.E.E. Foundation, of which he is the founder, this foundation will be used in furthering the education of citizens on the issues of free-market economics, sound money and limited government.

In a previous video released by the campaign Ron Paul had said that he was interested in holding a large rally in Washington, D.C. in order to demonstrate the large numbers of people that support his message. In the most recent video however, Ron Paul stated that he was not interested in his campaign being the lead organizer in such an event, but rather that it should be organized by the grassroots movement. He said that he believed that June 21st would be the best date to hold the event in Washington. We shall see in the coming weeks if the grassroots is able to begin to organize a Washington D.C gathering.

Ron Paul briefly addressed the current crisis of the United States economy in relation to his campaign by saying, “The money issue gives our movement credibility and a chance to offer sound solutions.”

Implying that although his message was not able to gather enough votes in the last few months to make victory in the Presidential race a possibility, the message that he offers will continue to be relevant even beyond the November elections, and therefore he urges his supporters to continue the fight.

Ron Paul stated in the video, “I don’t mind playing a key role in the revolution, but it has to be more than a Ron Paul revolution.” He would like to see the movement that has grow so much in the last few months continue as a grassroots movement rather than a top down movement.

Although Ron Paul did allude to the fact that he has no chance of winning the nomination, he did indicate that he will continue to use his candidacy to spread his message.
