The resolution recognized Paul’s standing and history with the Libertarian Party. It also recognized a renewed passion that Paul has ignited across America.
From the resolution:
In the event that Republican primary voters select a candidate other than Congressman Paul in February of 2008, the Libertarian National Committee invites Congressman Ron Paul to seek the presidential nomination of the Libertarian Party to be decided in Denver, Colorado during the Memorial Day weekend of 2008.
The motion was raised by former Congressman Bob Barr and approved unanimously by the board.
Since Texas permits someone to run for president and Congress simultaneously, Ron Paul would be free, if he wished to, to run for re-election to Congress as a Republican, and as the Libertarian nominee for President. No Texas law says that if a person runs for two offices simultaneously, he or she can’t have one party’s nomination for one office, and another party’s nomination for the other office.
