LENEXA, Kansas — 2012 Republican Presidential candidate Ron Paul was endorsed today by actor Darren Burrows, a Wichita resident known best for his role in the popular television series, "Northern Exposure."

In endorsing the 12-term Congressman from Texas, Mr. Burrows also was joined by his wife Melinda, and issued the following statement:

"Dr. Ron Paul has stood steadfast, as a man of integrity his entire public life. In this day and age of 'go along to get along,' his constancy and incorruptibility are legendary in Washington.

"Ron Paul's message of freedom and personal liberty for all, sound money, limited government, and a non-interventionist foreign policy is not a new one. It is in fact actually and exactly the same message our founding fathers set forth so boldly when they put pen to paper in drafting that foundation of our great Republic, the Constitution. It is precisely because the message is not his own that we can believe him and know he speaks the truth.

"Having never endorsed a politician before, I am so pleased and honored to have this opportunity to endorse Dr. Ron Paul as my candidate for President of the United States of America. No one but Paul."
