(NewsCore) - Rep. Ron Paul will speak to a social conservative activist group in Iowa next month, marking another signal the libertarian-leaning Republican from Texas may be pondering a third run for the White House, The Wall Street Journal reported Monday. The news comes a week after his son, freshman Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) dropped hints that he was considering an underdog run for president in 2012. The elder Paul, who has said he wants to dismantle the Federal Reserve, ran as a Libertarian in 1988 and as a Republican in 2008. He will speak at a presidential lecture series for the Family Leader, a social conservative activist group, on March 7 in Iowa. On Monday, another presumed 2012 candidate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty will give a short "pro-family lecture" for the group. The field of Republican candidates to take on President Barack Obama is still undefined 21 months before the election. Family Leader has no other confirmed speakers this year, but representatives for Sen. John Thune (R- S.D.), Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels and Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour expressed interest should they decide to run, a spokeswoman for the group said. The organization also reached out to former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin and has tried to contact former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney.
