Ron Paul Wins Achievment Award Reagan Won

The Charity Awards Committee announced that U.S. Rep. Ron Paul of Texas will be presented with its distinguished Lifetime Achievement Award at its annual banquet Dec. 3 at the Dulles Hyatt in Washington, D.C.

The Charity Awards is a bipartisan event that the White House has hosted in both Democrat and Republican administrations. It first presented its Lifetime Achievement Award to President Ronald Reagan in the East Room in 1982.

Citing his lifetime of work in promoting the rights of private sector charities, entertainer Pat Boone, co-chairman of the awards committee, described Paul as America’s foremost champion of the constitutional rights of nongovernmental organizations.

Speaking for the committee, Co-Chairman Doug Wead said, “At a time of great economic recession, when Americans are more dependent on charity and the goodwill of volunteers than ever before, Ron Paul’s voice has been a lonely sentinel holding back well intentioned but costly new government regulations for nonprofit work.”
