Texas U.S. Rep. Ron Paul will visit the University of Iowa March 7 as part of The Family Leader’s Presidential Lecture Series.

Prior to that, he will participate in a leadership roundtable that is an invitation-only event.

Paul also will visit Dordt College in Sioux Center and Pella Christian School.

The primary purpose of the Presidential Lecture Series is to provide national figures with a pre-planned, full day in Iowa to introduce them to Iowans and to give citizens an educational opportunity to become better informed on the pro-family vision of each speaker.  The lectures will be videotaped, emailed to The Family Leader’s comprehensive database, and posted on its website, www.thefamilyleader.com.

The Family Leader will host the Presidential Lecture Series each month through August. The schedule includes Minnesota U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann April 11 and former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum May 2.  Former U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich and businessman and radio host Herman Cain have also made commitments to participate.
