Ron Paul at Liberty U.

Thanks to Clyde Wilson for this message from one of his former grad students now teaching there: “I just got back from hearing and personally meeting Ron Paul. It was great! The 10,000 strong Liberty University student body showed hearty support for his strict constructionist message of less government and liberty. As Liberty University has typically been Bush and now Huckabee country, it was refreshing to see so many students come out and show support for Paul’s policies, even his foreign policy. I think he won a lot of supporters here today. Our chancellor (Jerry Falwell Jr) introduced Paul and stated that his (Falwell’s) father in law had come up from NC to hear Paul (being a long time supporter). All in all, I think Ron Paul was pleased with the very warm and exciting reception he received. I hope this helps him get a good showing in Virginia in the coming primary.”
