LAKE JACKSON, Texas-- (BUSINESS WIRE ) Congressman Ron Paul has endorsed Republican Van Irion for United States Congress from the 3rd district of Tennessee.

Said Dr. Paul, "I am proud to endorse Van Irion for United States Congress.

"Van Irion will do the work to fight for lower taxes and spending and for more freedom in Washington. We need people like Van voting with me in Congress.

"Van Irion is a dynamic leader who understands our Constitution and will fight against out-of-control government to restore our Liberty. Van has the courage to stand up against the bailouts and government takeovers being forced down our throats by Washington insiders.

"I have been particularly impressed by Van's leadership in the fight against Obamacare. Van Irion understands that Americans deserve more freedom, not less, in our healthcare system and is using his skills and good name to fight back. We should all be proud of his fine work.

"The American people need more than just another vote. We need a man of principle who will always stand up for what is right. We need a citizen politician who will represent US. Van Irion is just that kind of individual."

Said Liberty PAC director Jesse Benton, "We believe that Van Irion is the best candidate in this race and is best poised to win in both the primary and general elections. We hope the people of Tennessee will send this fine conservative leader to Washington at a time when he is sorely needed."

Liberty PAC is Congressman Paul's leadership Political Action Committee. Its mission is to identify and support candidates that believe in Liberty, limited government, fiscal responsibility and a common sense, pro-America foreign policy.
