Ron Paul currently represents a large area of South Texas in Congress, including many NASA and aerospace employees.

Paul is in a conundrum: Stay in the presidential race and cut off access to his presidential campaign contributions for the congressional race, or drop out of the race (and lose the ability to give a speech at the national convention) and work towards securing his congressional seat for a tenth year.

The major 3rd party website supporting Ron Paul, is shifting gears from presidential campaign fund raising to congressional campaign fund raising.
