An Iowa contender for state senate brought out the big guns to kickstart his campaign: the endorsement of nationally recognized conservative, Ron Paul.
Paul attracted an estimated 300 people to Des Moines, Saturday for a fundraising event for State Representative Kent Sorenson, who looks to oust State Senator Staci Appel, a democrat in District 37.
The message of less government and more local control resounded throughout Paul's speech:
"We've got everything backwards right now: the government makes the assumption it owns us. No, we own the government, and it's time to limit the government, not the people," Paul said.
Paul described Sorenson as a "citizen politician", commending the State Representive's statement that "congress is not the goal" for his career, but rather the means to bring about a conservative revolution in favor of the common man.
While talk of taxes and limiting federal control ruled the day, Paul also mentioned his pro-life stance, saying "it's the government's job to stand against the callous disregard of human life. We must protect the unborn".
