HOUSTON (AP) -- Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul said Thursday night he is ending his campaign but will keep spreading his message by working to help elect libertarian-leaning Republicans to public office around the country.
''The campaign is going to shift gears. It's going to accelerate. It's going to get much bigger,'' Paul told The Associated Press in an interview before a rally where he was making the announcement. ''To me, it's a technical change.''
Paul formally announced the move -- his new ''Campaign for Liberty'' -- in a speech to supporters attending the Texas Republican Party state convention. He said he expected many at his Thursday night rally and other supporters from around the nation to attend an alternative mini-convention he will host Sept. 2 in Minnesota to coincide with the Republican National Convention in St. Paul.
''Freedom is very popular. Not only is freedom popular, freedom works,'' Paul told supporters.

With this he had to withdraw his candidacy from the Rep.Party presidential race. IT IS HOT!

"In the final analysis," I wrote in my new book The Revolution: A Manifesto,
"the last line of defense in support of freedom and the Constitution consists of the people themselves. If the people want to be free, if they want to lift themselves out from underneath a state apparatus that threatens their liberties, squanders their resources on needless wars, destroys the value of their dollar, and spews forth endless propaganda about how indispensable it is and how lost we would all be without it, there is no force that can stop them."
The time has come to act on these words. May future generations look back on our work and say that these were men and women who, in a moment of great crisis, stood up to the politicians, the opinion-molders, and the establishment, and saved their country.
Join us, and be a part of it.
For liberty,
CAMPAIGN FOR LIBERTY!
