AUSTIN, Texas--(Business Wire)--
Today, Republican presidential candidate and Texas Congressman Ron
Paul addressed a large crowd of students and supporters on the main
mall of the University of Texas in Austin. University of Texas campus
police estimate that a crowd of 4,000 people attended the event.

   "Dr. Paul's conservative message of low taxes, limited government
and strictly following the Constitution resonates with voters here in
his home state of Texas," said Ron Paul campaign chairman Kent Snyder.

   Blues guitarist and singer Jimmie Vaughan played for the crowd
before Dr. Paul spoke. In Vaughan's endorsement of Dr. Paul, the
guitarist and singer said, "He knows the Constitution and the Bill of
Rights, and he always votes for the Constitution."
