In the Reagan Library, Only Ron Paul Carries the Reagan Mantle

SIMI VALLEY, Calif.--(Business Wire)--In 1976, Ron Paul was one of only four Republican Congressmen to
endorse Ronald Reagan for President. In tonight's debate at the Ronald
Reagan Library, Congressman Paul once again showed that he is the
candidate that stands for the conservative principles of Barry
Goldwater and Ronald Reagan.

Asked if Ronald Reagan would endorse him for President today, Ron
Paul responded that he couldn't know that for certain. But Dr. Paul
went on to say that he had been an early leader in supporting Ronald
Reagan's election in 1976, and that Reagan had in fact endorsed him
and campaigned for his election to Congress in the past.

Of Dr. Paul, Ronald Reagan once said: "Ron Paul is one of the
outstanding leaders fighting for a stronger national defense. As a
former Air Force officer, he knows well the needs of our armed forces,
and he always puts them first. We need to keep him fighting for our
country."

No other presidential candidate can claim a conservative record
that matches Dr. Paul's:
