The Final Countdown

Dear Erick, Any other election year, the establishment would be grinning from ear-to-ear, with the national media touting a supposed "showdown" between two Big Government Republicans – Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney. But this year, they're shaking in their boots. That's because they hadn't counted on Ron Paul's surge in the polls in early states like Iowa and New Hampshire. Erick, Ron Paul has spent decades fighting the political establishment in Washington, D.C. - and with your help, 2012 will be the year we take them head on and DEFEAT them! That's why I'm hoping you'll agree to make your most generous contribution IMMEDIATELY. If you and I are going to succeed in making Ron Paul the Republican nominee for President of the United States, we MUST go all out in these next four weeks before voters begin going to the polls. In fact, Dr. Paul has just authorized a million-dollar targeted mail, radio, and TV ad program featuring ads like  "Serial Hypocrisy," which you'll see below. With only $629,343 paid for as of right now, we need your immediate financial help to pay for this massive ad buy in Iowa and New Hampshire. Of course, I know you've probably heard Ron Paul supporters are planning a huge Money Bomb later this month.  If you were planning on giving to that, I must ask you to go ahead and contribute half now. The truth is, if I can't pay for these ads IMMEDIATELY, it could really hamstring this campaign during the most crucial time. After we've come this far, I can't stomach that thought. So please, make your most generous contribution TODAY! You see, Mitt Romney's flip-flopping on key issues is no secret to voters. But the truth is, Newt Gingrich has spent years, if not decades, doing the exact same thing. Like Governor Romney, Newt Gingrich supported an individual mandate for health care, which is central to both "RomneyCare" and "ObamaCare." Then, Newt Gingrich's firm raked in nearly $40 MILLION from health care companies, which supported these and other Big Government schemes. Like Governor Romney, Newt Gingrich supported the $700 BILLION TARP bailouts. And like Governor Romney, Newt Gingrich has cozied up to environmental alarmists, even appearing in an ad with Nancy Pelosi in support of the job-killing "global warming" agenda. Sadly, that's not the end of it. Even while Ron Paul was warning of the dangers that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac posed to the American economy, Newt Gingrich was raking in $1.6 million to keep the housing bubble expanding. That's just one difference between Newt Gingrich and Ron Paul. While Newt Gingrich was busy padding his personal bank account with cash from Washington insiders to keep their taxpayer-funded gravy train rolling, Ron Paul was busy warning Congress and the nation of impending disaster if we didn't change course. Today is our opportunity to set our nation on a different course. A course toward more freedom, liberty, and economic prosperity. But with only four weeks before the Iowa Caucuses, there's not much time left to get our message out. So please contribute as much as you can TODAY. We've come a long ways over the past several months. In fact, we're EXACTLY where we hoped we'd be four weeks out from Election Day. Now is the time to finish the job! Please make your most generous contribution at once. For Liberty, John Tate Campaign Manager P.S. The Iowa Caucuses are only four weeks away, and Ron Paul's campaign needs your immediate financial help to pay for the rest of our massive million-dollar ad buy. I know you've heard Ron Paul supporters are planning a huge Money Bomb later this month. But the truth is, with our media ad buys already completed, we must raise the money to pay for these ads before I can authorize any future expenditures. So please make your most generous contribution TODAY! Paid for by Ron Paul 2012 Presidential Campaign Committee www.ronpaul2012.com
