Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul is looking for supporters in Oklahoma.

Paul is scheduled to speak at an Oklahoma City rally at 1 p.m. Saturday at Capitol Plaza.

The 12-term congressman from Texas has been mainly focusing on states with caucuses, working to build grassroots support for his libertarian views.

Paul supports limited government and low taxes, along with mainstream Republicans. But Paul tends to stand alone among candidates when arguing against American intervention abroad and putting a premium on individual rights as the nation works to root out domestic terror.

According to The Associated Press delegate count, Paul is in fourth place with 19 delegates. Mitt Romney leads with 123 delegates, followed by Rick Santorum at 72, and Newt Gingrich at 32.

The GOP nominee needs 1,144 delegates.
