Texas Congressman and Presidential Candidate Ron Paul announced today that he will not be seeking re-election so he can focus on his presidential bid.  His son, Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) issued a statement about his father’s decision:

“History will record the legislative record of Ron Paul as an extraordinary one – perhaps unparalleled. There probably has never been a more consistent believer in limited government in Congress. America deserves a statesman like Ron Paul as her president, a man I am proud to call my father.”
