Freedom Rally on the Coast
Holding a flag along US Highway 90 in Biloxi, an RLC member is
counted among the Ron Paul grassroots movement. Promoting a return

day before the Mississippi primary in March.

Liberty Grassroots in Mississippi
This past year has shown a resurgence of Republican grassroots
support in our state. Both the Ron Paul and Mike Huckabee camps
have inspired hundreds to forego the usual campaigning styles to
hitting the streets. Even more uplifting is that the majority of
this movement is made up of liberty minded Republicans.
