LAKE JACKSON, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- 2012 Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul has launched a major effort to mobilize grassroots opposition to a deal on the debt ceiling that is rumored to be in the works between the Obama administration and House Republican leaders.

“The fact is, Republicans were put back in power during the last election to stop the runaway spending in Washington, D.C.—not to cut ‘deals’ that increase taxes and spending,” said Paul.
