Summary: <br> <br> <p class="MsoNormal">While Senator Paul took something of a back-seat to Justin <br> Amash in the hearts and minds of liberty activists last week , he did continue <br> to lay the groundwork for the presumed 2016 campaign. Rand Paul was back in <br> Iowa once again, meeting with evangelicals at the Pastors and Pews in Des <br> Moines. It is noteworthy that Sen. Ted Cruz- who was also at the Iowa Renewal <br> Project event- is quickly coming on par with Senator Paul, as another prospective <br> candidate for the GOP nomination. Will the liberty wing of the party actually <br> have a choice of Republican candidates next time around? The establishment <br> continues its attack against libertarians within the Republican Party, as Gov. <br> Chris Christie has assaulted proponents of less intervention in foreign affairs <br> as ‘dangerous.’ Links to the original media sources are included in the file <br> description; included audio can be heard in the order listed below:</p> <br> <br> <blockquote> <p class="MsoNormal">(0:00) Conservative Elizabeth Crum and former Ron Paul <br> delegate Chris Dyer talk with News3 KSNV’s (NBC – Las Vegas, NV) <span style=""> </span><a href="http://www.ralstonreports.com/tv/71213-elizabeth-crum-chris-dyer">Jon <br> Ralston</a> about Rand Paul's future .
