Tell Ron Paul to Run Nation-Wide Ads Now!!!
by James Buchanan
I’ve been trying to tell the Ron Paul campaign to run some nation-wide ads as soon as possible so that he will expand his base. I have gone out of my way to explain all the logic behind this in earlier articles, but apparently logic and reason didn’t have enough influence. Now his latest fund-raising effort is falling badly short of his stated goal to raise 12 million in the fourth quarter.
And twelve million is really not much of a campaign fund considering that Hillary and Obama have raised several times that much. Ron Paul desperately needs to expand his base as soon as possible. And the only way to do that is to run nation-wide ads, which he has so far stubbornly refused to do.
While I have failed to persuade the Ron Paul campaign, maybe you readers can succeed at changing his mind. If you agree that the Ron Paul campaign needs to reach out to lots of new people, then call up his campaign staff (at 703-248-9115) and demand that he start running nation-wide ads now. Tell them that you won’t donate another penny until you see that first national commercial (and local ads in New Hampshire or Iowa don’t count). Only a national ad will convince you that he’s serious about winning this race. Tell them that he needs to expand his base and to stop preaching to the same Internet choir over and over.
The Ron Paul campaign has been running some ads in New Hampshire and other small states. This is ridiculous!!!!! There are 300 million people in America. Run ads that will play in California, where the anti-war vote could win Ron Paul the biggest state in the union and where there are quite a few wealthy individuals who would be highly sympathetic if they only knew Ron Paul existed.
