Ron Paul Endorses Congressman Don Young
Anchorage, Alaska
– Republican Presidential candidate and Texas
Congressman Ron Paul has officially endorsed Congressman
Don Young in his re-election bid for Alaska's seat in
the House of Representatives.
"Ron Paul is a good friend and colleague.
I admire his passion and commitment to less government
and greater personal freedom," said Rep. Young. "When
we are faced with Members of Congress beholden to those
extreme special interest groups who are dedicated to
locking up our natural resources and limiting the rights
of the individual American, it is important to have
national leaders like Ron stand up and fight for all
of us. I am proud to stand with him and am humbled by
his support for my re-election." The endorsement release
can be found below.

Subject: A Message for Alaskans

Dear Alaskan Supporter:
Please let me begin by once again giving
you my heartfelt thanks for all you have done to support
me. The reason our campaign was so successful in your
state owes entirely to the fact that activists such
as you worked so hard. For that I am truly grateful.
Alaska faces a primary election for
federal offices on August 26.
As you go about deciding how you will
vote, I wanted to write to you regarding Congressman
Don Young. Don and I have served together in Congress
for many years, and I consider him a friend. Don has
been an outspoken voice against environmental extremists
over the years, and has strongly opposed the types of
federal regulatory overreach advocated in the name of
environmentalism.
I am also glad to have Don as a cosponsor
of one of the most significant pieces of legislation
I have introduced, the Liberty Amendment. Few members
of Congress have shown the insight to understand the
importance of this sweeping legislation to restrain
the federal government, and even fewer have shown the
courage to cosponsor this bill. Don is one of those.
I support Don's campaign for re-election,
and I felt it was important for you to know these things
as you consider your vote in the upcoming primary.
Once again, I appreciate all you have
done for me, and for our country. Your efforts on behalf
of our cause are truly remarkable.
Sincerely,
Ron Paul
