History

Campaign for Liberty is a political organization founded by twelve-term United States, Congressman Ron Paul. Campaign for Liberty focuses on educating elected officials and the general public about constitutional issues and currently provides a membership program. Its legal status is a 501(c)(4) nonprofit. According to Ron Paul, the purpose of the Campaign for Liberty is to continue the principles that invoked the grassroots support of his campaign and also to be able to continue the message that he promoted during his bid, without having a presidential campaign, and is also intended to “lay the groundwork for a different America.” It was also established as a reporting agency for news involved with the principles of the organization.
