Vote for Freedom

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

April 23, 2008

ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA – Presidential candidate Ron Paul received at least 128,111 votes, or 16 percent, in the closed Republican Pennsylvania primary yesterday. Dr. Paul made four stops in the Keystone State during the month of April and spoke to overflow crowds of young people and other passionate supporters.

“Americans are hungry for leadership that will protect the traditions that made our country so great,” said campaign spokesman Jesse Benton. “Dr. Paul’s grassroots supporters in Pennsylvania and across the country are doing a tremendous job spreading our message, winning votes and laying a strong foundation for the future.”

Dr. Paul is continuing his bid for the Republican nomination to spread the message of constitutional government and personal freedom, build the GOP back to its traditional roots and continue the grassroots activism his candidacy inspired. To date, he has received nearly one millions votes in Republican presidential contests and his campaign believes it will carry 50 delegates or more to the Republican National Convention in Minneapolis. His new book, “The Revolution, A Manifesto,” launches April 30th.
