Iowa RLC Coordinator Roger Barr with Ron Paul
In addition to the recent RLC booth at the Nebraska GOP Convention, there were also RLC booths at Conventions in Iowa and Texas.
Roger W. Barr, Jr., Iowa Republican Liberty Caucus Contact, set up a table at the Iowa State Republican convention under the banner of the RLC, IowansforLiberty.org, and Ron Paul’s Campaign for Liberty. Roger and company handed out hundreds of RLC pamplets and gave away 200 copies of Ron Paul’s new book “The Revolution: A Manifesto.”
According to Roger, “We where very well recieved at the convention. I along with seven other Ron Paul Repulicans were elected to the National Convention as delegates — 7 Alternates and 1 Delegate. The delegate was Drew Ivers, the Ron Paul Iowa campaign manager.” According to a report at NolanChart.com, “One man behind the table called the interest in RLC ‘somewhere between gratifying and excellent’.”
Roger continued, “A long story short: The John McCain people tried to strong arm the social conservatives and kick out the libertarian-leaning Republicans. Thus, the Campaign for Liberty and the RLC created a coalition and shut them out. The John McCain state coordinator ran for a Delegate position and did not become a delegate. It was a great day.”
Thanks, Roger, for your great efforts!
In Texas, The Dallas Morning News reported that the Republican Liberty Caucus of Texas had a booth at the state GOP Convention in June. “It’s really kind of a rallying and recruiting point,” said Don Zimmerman, an Austin area Republican who led a group that supported Paul’s presidential run but wasn’t directly affiliated with his campaign.
The article continued, “Zimmerman, who describes himself as a “Barry Goldwater Republican” and has attended GOP state conventions for more than a decade, said the struggle between Paul supporters and other delegates at the Houston convention will be typical of minority-majority clashes that have occurred repeatedly at past Texas conventions.”
Thanks to Don Zimmerman and company for their efforts at the Texas GOP Convention.
