- Our goal - our one and only goal - is to elect Ron Paul
president of the United States. But as of this message, time is not on
our side.
-
- We have approximately 900 hours until the Iowa caucuses
and about 1,000 hours until voters in New Hampshire go to the polls. That's
just 900 hours for all of us to do what we can to make sure Ron Paul wins
the Republican nomination for president.
-
- Dr. Paul's best opportunity to win the nomination is
for him to make a strong showing in the early primary states of New Hampshire,
Iowa, Michigan, South Carolina, and Nevada. Appropriately, the most important
part of our campaign strategy is an unrelenting blitz of radio and TV ads
in these states.
-
- The evidence shows very strongly that consistent, targeted
media exposure is the best tool to increase Ron Paul's name recognition.
It's no accident that Dr. Paul is surging in early primary states. Recent
polls show him at 8% in New Hampshire, Nevada, and South Carolina, and
6% in Iowa. In most cases, this represents a doubling of our poll numbers
in just two weeks!
-
- Your grassroots support on the ground, coupled with targeted
media is critical to all of these efforts. Because half of "likely
voters" still haven't heard of Ron Paul, we have plenty of room to
double our poll numbers again. The donations that you make now allow us
to continue our current level of intense media in these states uninterrupted.
-
- Remember: We're battling against the likes of Mitt Romney,
who is spending close to a million dollars per week on TV ads alone. The
more we raise, and the sooner we raise it, the better we can compete.
-
- And now that Michigan's primary also will be held in
January, meeting the $12 million mark as soon as possible is more important
than ever. This goal represents the minimum amount that we believe is necessary
to make a strong run at the nomination. But because of the wealth and connections
of the other candidates, none of us should be content with any amount that
we raise. After all, we can't be satisfied with merely giving Ron Paul
a chance to win the Republican nomination. We have to be determined to
give him the absolute best chance possible.
-
- The political elites recognize that Ron Paul is for real,
and that he is the only first tier candidate with a message that threatens
their power. It's no wonder that Rudy Giuliani, as reported in yesterday's
Washington Post, is now on the offensive against Ron Paul.
-
- Everyone involved in any way with this campaign has been
making sacrifices that often go unnoticed and unrecognized. The selflessness
with which you all donate to and volunteer for Ron Paul is the best sign
that what we are doing truly is bigger than any one of us. On behalf of
our campaign, I sincerely thank you for everything that you do every single
day.
-
- All of us recognize that this political race is not a
game. It will prove to be the most important presidential election of our
lifetimes.
