AHA, let's talk money...The only way RP can defeat the beast in addition to grassroots activism, & local media is with PAID ADVERTISING !
Third Quarter Target Donations For Your State.
It is now time to decide if you want to win this race or not. We can't afford to wait until the last week of this quarter to start raising funds for this campaign. There are nine weeks left to donate to RP's campaign in this the third quarter for FEC official records. Much major media coverage was received because Ron Paul had more cash on hand than McCain after the second quarter. Everyone who has donated to Dr. Paul can feel good that this was accomplished. Without that extra that was given by you that put him above McCain there would have been no extra media. Anyway as has been said Dr. Paul doesn't have these Corporate/celeb giants "bundling" these donations like several others (Clinton, Obama, Edwards, Rudolf McRomson). It's just US, you & me. If most of you are like me you cannot afford to send in $4,600 today to the campaign.(if you can afford it, please do so) That's a major reason I keep promoting the $25 donation. Most all of us can afford that and if you can afford more please send it in (but at least $25) each payday.
I have watched Presidential campaigns for years as I'm sure many of you have, the money matters !!! An outsider needs it to advertise their message to the voters bypassing either media negative coverage or media blackout. The Insiders receive millions of $ of free coverage every week. And with them getting millions in donations they also will have millions of dollars for paid advertising. So the message of the outsider must resonate to the majority of the citizens and must reach the voters to have any chance to defeat the corporate candidates ! Our man is the only anti-war Republican candidate as I type this and as one of the recent polls stated 71% of American citizens agree with him !
You can see how advertising really works already, Romney has been advertising for weeks in Iowa & NH and his numbers have climbed to first in these states in most polls @ over 25%. While all over the nation he is under 10% in the polls. I believe in my heart if Dr. Paul could get a credible ad campaign going in NH he could win the primary and if going in Iowa he would finish in the top three (that's where he needs to be to have any hope of winning the nomination). SC will be a little tougher, down here in the south most people are just pro-military and I doubt if 37% of the SC Republican Party is opposed to the war as they are nationally. I understand a poll out of Iowa stated over 50% of Iowan Republican are ready to end the conflict & bring the troops home. So if Dr. Paul had the funds for an all out run in Iowa he might could win there also(the reason I say might is because it's a large state of 99 counties, not compact like NH, also he just isn't putting the time in as some of the opposition have been in Iowa over 25 days.( But they are pro-war, so ???).
Now how could the MSM explain away RP wins in both Iowa and NH? They couldn't disrespect the good Doctor in such a senario. I know this is wishful thinking, but if we keep sending in those $25, $50, $100 donations EACH PAYDAY we can help the message reach the masses, thats all we can hope for now. I agree with the message (90+%anyway), I just hope 50.1 % of the American voters will agree with it TOO.
PEACE TO ALL...
Nine more paydays, Nine more $25 donations before September 30 !!!!!!!
