Just Hours

Dear Erick, There are now just hours remaining until the end of the first quarter fundraising period. The national media and the Washington, D.C. political establishment literally can’t wait to see the results. They want nothing more than to declare Mitt Romney the Republican Party’s nominee – and declare the Ron Paul campaign DEAD! I’m waiting with baited breath, too.  But I’m waiting for further confirmation that our campaign’s delegate strategy is working just like we planned. But Erick, if you haven’t yet given to this End of Quarter final push, please do so IMMEDIATELY! You see, right now, critical states like North Dakota and Minnesota are just beginning to select their national delegates. And it’s these national delegates who will ultimately go to Tampa, Florida, to select our Republican Party’s nominee. And after North Dakota and Minnesota come Colorado, Nevada, Iowa, Maine, Alaska, and Washington! The truth is, no other campaign can match the Ron Paul campaign’s organization. And no other campaign has supporters as dedicated and energetic as Dr. Paul’s. Of course, it’s not hard to understand why. Whether it’s Mitt Romney, Rick Santorum, or Newt Gingrich, every one of these candidates stand for continuing the Big Government, big spending status quo that’s pushed our country to the brink. Ron Paul is the ONLY candidate standing for a hard and fast return to constitutional principles, an America-first foreign policy, sound money, and individual liberty. If this presidential campaign winds its way to a brokered convention, all bets are off. And I’m confident our grassroots strength – simply unmatched by any other candidate – will make the difference. But with the first quarter fundraising period set to close in just hours, Dr. Paul and I are counting on your IMMEDIATE financial support. From phone banks to targeted mail, on-the-ground field staff to high-tech Get-Out-the-Vote campaigns, we’re entering the most crucial phase of the race. Of course, the national media and the Washington, D.C. political establishment want you to give up and go home. From the very beginning, they’ve wanted to write off any campaign that doesn’t play by their rules . . . Well, as bad as they might want to, the national media don’t get to choose our presidential nominees. Delegates do. And that’s where the true fight is going on. So even if it’s only $10 or $25, please contribute to this End of Quarter final push IMMEDIATELY! For Liberty, John Tate Campaign Manager P.S. If you haven’t yet done so, please contribute to this End of Quarter final push IMMEDIATELY! The national media and the Washington, D.C. political establishment want nothing more than to declare Mitt Romney the Republican Party’s nominee – and declare the Ron Paul campaign DEAD! But they don’t get to pick presidential nominees.  Delegates do. And that’s where, with your help, Ron Paul will win the fight!

Smelling Blood

Dear Erick, At midnight tonight, the first quarter of the 2012 fundraising cycle will end. And thanks to the continued overwhelming response from grassroots supporters like you, it’s been a tremendous quarter for my dad’s campaign. His “Give Me Liberty” Money Bomb brought in over $1 million, and his delegate strategy is seeing success after success all across the nation. But as he wrote to you last night, the eyes of the “old guard” establishment will be carefully watching this first quarter report. Like sharks smelling blood in the water, they can’t wait to close in for the kill. They’ll use any excuse to declare this race over and crown Mitt Romney the winner. But last time I checked, Mitt Romney still had a long way to go to capture 1,144 delegates. And the Ron Paul campaign is the one making waves at the conventions.  My dad must be able to take full advantage of this chance to send a powerful message that he is more determined than ever to see this race through to victory. So can he count on your most generous contribution right away? The truth is, acquiring the delegates needed to win the nomination and steer the Republican Party back toward a comprehensive defense of liberty is a massive undertaking. Not only does it involve maintaining a core group of campaign staff in several states, but it requires keeping track of hundreds of meetings and getting the word out to supporters in plenty of time for them to run for delegate positions. Along the way, it also means helping Ron Paul delegates successfully defeat any desperate challenge or tricks from the establishment. Every dollar you can give today will help my dad carry his strong momentum over into the start of the second quarter and keep the establishment on notice that this race is far from over. But, as you well know, my dad will not go into debt. So before he will authorize his campaign to take any action – even in places where further victories are within reach – he must know he has the funds to back up his plans. You can help guarantee that today. I know so many people dug down deep to help with the Give Me Liberty Money Bomb, and the tough economy makes it hard for some to give as much as they would like. Any amount, though, is appreciated and will be put to immediate use to help my dad continue spreading the message of individual freedom and limited government. The deadline is closing in fast, so I hope you will give right away. For Liberty, Rand Paul P.S.  Like sharks smelling blood in the water, the establishment is looking for any excuse to close in, declare this race over, and crown Mitt Romney the winner. With the first quarter fundraising cycle ending at midnight tonight, my dad must be able to take full advantage of this chance to show them we are more determined than ever to win this race. His delegate strategy is seeing tremendous success all over the country, and further victories are within reach. But my dad will not authorize his campaign to take action without the funds to back up his plans, so I hope you will give whatever you can today.

Whole New Ballgame

Dear Erick, Tomorrow marks the end for the first fundraising quarter for 2012. The national media and their pals in the Washington, D.C. political establishment can hardly wait. They want more than anything to crown Mitt Romney the nominee - so they're preparing to scour these reports and declare all other campaigns dead in the water! But with states just beginning to select their delegates to the Republican National Convention, now is our chance to show them this race is anything but over! So won't you please agree to an IMMEDIATE contribution to my campaign before the end of quarter deadline? The great news is, we raised over $1 million during my "Give Me Liberty" Money Bomb, but with the 1st quarter deadline fast approaching, now is the time for a final push! Even if all you can give right now is $10 or $25, your contribution will make a tremendous difference. Right now, my campaign's delegate strategy is being put to the full test. Tomorrow, Minnesota and North Dakota will begin selecting their delegates to the Republican National Convention. Alaska, Colorado, Maine, Nevada, and Washington State will follow not long after. If my campaign has strong showings there - which I'm very hopeful it will - it could turn this entire presidential race on its head. And if we do get to a brokered convention, all bets will be off. But if we're going to succeed, I'm going to need to run a full-scale GOTV program, including targeted mail, email, and phone banks. My staff also needs to stay prepared to fight back against any "funny business" my opponents' supporters or "old guard" establishment hacks might try to pull. You've heard the stories.  You know what we're up against. I just wish you could watch the "old guard's" jaws drop when my supporters beat them at their own game! So can I count on you for a generous and IMMEDIATE contribution before the end of quarter deadline? I hope I can. As I mentioned, any amount you can give will be a tremendous help - even if it's just $10 or $25. Of course, I hope you'll be even more generous. With your financial support, we can show the national media and the Washington, D.C. political establishment that this race for the presidency has become a whole new ballgame! Please act IMMEDIATELY! For Liberty, Ron Paul P.S. With the end of quarter deadline coming tomorrow, the national media is preparing to scour the reports of every presidential campaign and declare all other campaigns but Mitt Romney's dead in the water! Now is our chance to show them this race is anything but over! So won't you please agree to an IMMEDIATE contribution to my campaign before the end of quarter deadline? The truth is, my campaign's delegate strategy is being put to the true test right now.  So your IMMEDIATE support is critical.

My Endorsement of Kurt Bills

Dear Erick, My run for the presidency has never been just a campaign. It’s a R3VOLUTION. And today, I’m happy to say there are dozens of new liberty-minded candidates from all over the country that are ready to FIGHT for the principles that you and I hold dear in Washington, D.C. One of the best is Kurt Bills from Minnesota.  Kurt is running for the Republican nomination to the United States Senate. With the first quarter fundraising deadline ending on Saturday, I hope I can count on you to please make a generous donation to Kurt’s campaign IMMEDIATELY. Kurt tells me if he has a strong showing during this fundraising quarter, it could scare off his establishment opponents and help prove to the Minnesota GOP that he is the Republican to take on and defeat Democrat incumbent Amy Klobuchar next year. So I’m counting on you to please give Kurt Bills your most generous contribution if you possibly can. Currently, Kurt is a member of the Minnesota House of Representatives, where he’s built an impressive record. You may remember, not long ago, Kurt gave a big boost to my Minnesota campaign by publicly endorsing me. Now, I’ve decided to endorse Kurt because – quite frankly – our country needs more men and women like him in Congress. If elected to the U.S. Senate, Kurt will join my son, Rand, in leading the fight for fiscal responsibility, individual liberty, and constitutional principles in Washington, D.C. You see, Kurt isn’t a career politician. He’s a loving husband and family man, with four wonderful children aged five to fourteen.  He’s also a high school teacher and wrestling coach. In fact, before heading into the Minnesota legislature each day, Kurt taught economics – even using my End the Fed book in his class! And if he’s the Republican nominee in Minnesota, he’ll be able to take on Senator Klobuchar in ways no one else can, because Kurt: ***    Opposes the unconstitutional Patriot Act and the dreaded SOPA legislation, which threatens to virtually shut down the internet; ***    Supports a common-sense foreign policy that puts America’s security first – instead of wasting American lives and tax dollars on utopian nation-building schemes or policing the world; ***    Will fight to audit and finally END the out-of-control Federal Reserve, which is destroying the purchasing power of our dollar and the middle class; ***    Supports constitutionally limited government, fiscal responsibility, and free markets. But as you can imagine, many in the establishment aren’t exactly cozying up to Kurt. They know that if he’s elected, his only allegiance will be to the Constitution of the United States – not high-powered corporate lobbyists looking for another handout. So please, help Kurt Bills win the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate in Minnesota by making a generous contribution to his campaign. Any contribution you can give now will make a tremendous difference as Kurt’s campaign moves forward. He’s depending on the folks like you and me who truly believe in life and liberty to make his campaign a success. You and I cannot let him down. So please donate to Kurt’s campaign right away and help him WIN the Republican nomination. For Liberty,   Ron Paul   P.S.    I’m writing to announce my endorsement of Kurt Bills for U.S. Senate in Minnesota – and I’m asking you to join me in supporting his campaign. Kurt is dedicated to the principles of individual liberty, free markets, sound money, and constitutional government that made America the freest, most prosperous nation on Earth. So please join me in supporting Kurt’s campaign by making a generous contribution IMMEDIATELY!    Paid for by Ron Paul 2012 Presidential Campaign Committee www.ronpaul2012.com

Enough is enough

Dear Erick, Our deficits are soaring out of control. President Obama has proposed a "budget" that will still allow a 1.3 trillion-dollar deficit. And Republicans are hardly better, with their budget never, ever balancing. The threats to our prosperity and freedom aren't hard to see - just look all around us, every day, at the news coming from Washington. Bailouts, trillion-dollar "stimulus" schemes, huge new debt burdens for our children, higher taxes, skyrocketing gas prices, high unemployment, inflation - I could go on and on. You and I both know this has to end. The good news is, there is a way to fight back. And that fight starts today, by supporting a plan to actually balance the federal budget, cut spending, shrink the size of government, and bring our debt under control once and for all. Please read the email below from my friend Matt Hawes of Campaign for Liberty to learn more about this battle to finally put an end to the out-of-control spending in Washington. For Liberty, Senator Rand Paul Dear Erick, All you have to do is turn on the TV, pick up a newspaper, or click through a few of your favorite websites to realize something is dreadfully WRONG. Bank failures.  Bailouts.  Failed "stimulus" packages. A surging federal deficit. European-style high unemployment.  Sky-high gas prices.  Inflation growing as incomes and retirement accounts stagnate. And what does the White House give us now?  Yet another budget with trillion-dollar deficits.  This is the first White House to have four straight years of trillion-dollar deficits - ever. "[W]e have to go spend money to keep from going bankrupt," as Vice President Joe Biden put it a while back. These people have no shame. The 2012 budget is even worse than the last.  A $1.3 trillion deficit in year one.  ELEVEN TRILLION in new debt.  And they managed to somehow do that while RAISING your taxes nearly $2 trillion. If that scares you as much as it scares me, I hope you'll complete the petition urging your representative to support - and your senators to cosponsor and seek roll-call votes on The PAUL BALANCED BUDGET ACT OF 2012 introduced this month by Senator Rand Paul. Senator Paul's budget does something no other budget in Washington has done in years - it actually balances.  It cuts the deficit in half in year one, and it balances in year five. You can almost hear the bureaucrats' cries even now.  "Too radical." "Draconian."  The big spending establishment of both parties will wail and gnash their teeth. But they will act - if the American people, led by patriots like you, make them. You see, this is an election year.  And even the tax-and-spend crowd in Washington is starting to get nervous. They KNOW the American people are FED UP! Our country's deficit is increasing at a rate of nearly FOUR BILLION dollars a day. The average American family is on the hook for nearly $800,000! And now, news reports are saying the bailouts over the past few years cost taxpayers as much as $13.7 TRILLION on top of all that! Like an alcoholic on a binge, the politicians simply can't be counted on to stop themselves. Someone has to step in and bring this circus to an end. Campaign for Liberty is doing just that - leading the fight to stop Big Government in its tracks by launching a nationwide campaign to support Senator Rand Paul's budget. It's been decades since any serious cutting of government spending and waste has even been attempted. But with recent events, I'm convinced the time is right to finally make a permanent change in the way Washington works - a change that will empower the people and take power from politicians. But more than that, it's a battle we MUST fight. That's why it's vital you act TODAY! You see, I'd love to tell you that there's no reason to worry - that the politicians in Washington are "experts" who are working hard to "get everything under control." I'd love to tell you that the politicians understand that unless they not only stop - but actually CUT - spending, the entire U.S. economy could end up nose-diving off a cliff. And I'd love more than anything to tell you the politicians would never saddle our kids and grandkids with debts they can never repay - and that the nightmare of debt, disorder, and broken hope that is Greece today couldn't be America's future. But I can't say that.  It just isn't true. Senator Paul's budget is unlike any other seen in Washington - a REAL plan to make REAL change. Among the highlights of this Balanced Budget: ***  Serious cuts in spending in year one, an immediate 50 percent reduction in the deficit in year one, and full balance, with a surplus, in year five; ***  In years 6-10, it begins to pay off our debt, paying off nearly $4 trillion of our national debt for the first time in history; ***  Closes five cabinet agencies permanently, including the unconstitutional Department of Education; ***  Focuses our military on strengthening America's defenses instead of nation-building or funding dictators and anti-American regimes; ***  Fixes the deficit in Social Security and Medicare for 75 years, without cuts to current enrollees; ***  Cuts and block grants back to the states Medicaid and all federal welfare programs; ***  Rescinds funds for the indefinite detention of American citizens; ***  Privatizes the TSA. As you can see, this is an ambitious bill that would bring historic change to our country. Will you stand with Senator Paul and Campaign for liberty today? If so, it's vital you act immediately by filling out the petition to your representative and senators. This is no time for half measures. You see, when a mad dog is running loose, terrorizing a neighborhood, you lock him down. You chain him up. And that's what the Paul Balanced Budget Act would do to Big Government. This is a battle worth fighting - win or lose this year. If we succeed, it would be a MAJOR step toward restoring American prosperity. But even if we are set back this year, we can make sure the tax-and-spend politicians PAY THE PRICE! You see, they have to come back to us, the voters, and seek our support for reelection. So even if they don't pass the PAUL BALANCED BUDGET ACT right away, if you and I can put the ENTIRE Congress on record, any politician who votes against us will have hell to pay at the ballot box. Can you imagine the lame excuses? What GOOD excuse is there for VOTING AGAINST being fiscally responsible? There is none.  Period. That's why your action today is so vital Now, before I go any further, I want you to know that forcing our tax-and-spend Congress to stop their out-of-control spending isn't going to be easy. The politicians in both parties are going to fight you and me tooth-and-nail. But if we can turn up enough heat - if we can FORCE Congress to heed the will of the American people - I'm confident we can put Congress on record... and on notice. Here's how Campaign for Liberty plans to force action - hopefully, with your help. First, we're already busy contacting up to five million activists nationwide through mail, phones, and email to generate petitions to the U.S. Congress demanding action on the Paul Balanced Budget Act. And that's just the beginning. With your help, we'll work the blogs and write guest editorials. We'll brief influential writers and columnists who will be sympathetic to our efforts. We'll work the talk radio stations and grant local media interviews to further turn up the pressure on Congress. And we're going to do what few groups do anymore. We're going to have our grassroots volunteers go door-to-door encouraging their neighbors to join us. That's a political army of committed liberty-loving folks making a difference the most effective way - one-on-one. And finally, if we have the resources, we'd also like to run powerful targeted radio, TV, and newspaper ads. This entire program is designed to send this one, CLEAR message to Congress - any politician who votes against the Paul Balanced Budget should look for another job. But such a massive effort won't be easy - or cheap. So, in addition to your completed petition, I also hope you'll agree to chip in a contribution of $50, $25, $10 -or whatever you can afford - to Campaign for Liberty. I know times are hard, but this fight is absolutely critical. Can I count on you to join the fight by filling out the petition and by chipping in a contribution of $50, $25, $10 - or whatever you can afford - to Campaign for Liberty? In Liberty, Matt Hawes Vice President P.S. Despite the current economic crisis, the politicians in both parties in Washington seem intent on spending us into total and complete collapse. You and I must stop them! Please fill out your petition urging your representative to support - and your senators to cosponsor and seek roll-call votes on the Paul Balanced Budget Act of 2012  immediately! And, along with your signed petitions, please chip in a contribution of $50, $25, $10 - or whatever you can afford - to Campaign for Liberty TODAY!

Time is running out

Dear Erick, Yesterday, I informed you of the incredible news out of Missouri about my campaign leading the delegate count in the nation's largest caucus state. But what is even more amazing is your continued support, which makes it all possible. So far, the Give Me Liberty Money Bomb has raised $835,890, which is just $164,000 short of our $1 million goal. Can I count on you to make your most generous contribution right away to push us closer to our goal? You see, while the establishment is working to erect obstacles and play parliamentary games, my campaign is out-organizing my opponents on the ground and racking up delegates. And until a candidate reaches the 1,144 threshold, this race is a delegate hunt. I know I have asked a lot of you during this campaign, but we're coming down to the wire. Hundreds of meetings in states like Iowa, Minnesota, Alaska, and Washington are going to be held over the coming months, and that is where you and I must make our stand. In order to bring the maximum number of delegates to the Republican National Convention in Tampa, I'll need your help today. Make no mistake, the establishment isn't going to roll over.  We're going to have to scrap and claw to maneuver around their attempts to shut us out at these meetings. They tried in Missouri, where the caucus in St. Charles County was abruptly ended, but because my supporters on the ground fought back, a new caucus meeting has been scheduled. This is just one example of the lengths the entrenched insiders will go to maintain their grip on the nominating process. So please, click here to make your most generous contribution to the Give Me Liberty Money Bomb and help my campaign have the resources to continue organizing and fighting back against any attempt by the establishment to skirt the rules and deny me delegates. You and I have to chance to win where it counts - in the delegate hunt. I thank you for all that you have done in the name of liberty. For Liberty, Ron Paul P.S. After the results of yesterday's Missouri Caucuses, I am now leading in the delegate count in the Show Me State. But the battle is still raging on, and I must have the resources to continue organizing these delegates for the next step of the process. So please make the most generous contribution you possibly can afford to my Give Me Liberty Money Bomb!   Paid for by Ron Paul 2012 Presidential Campaign Committee www.ronpaul2012.com

Every Last Inch

Dear Erick, Once again, you’re helping my dad shock the establishment. Last night, he wrote you about yesterday’s amazing results from Missouri – where he now leads the delegate count in the nation’s largest caucus state. And his “Give Me Liberty” Money Bomb has raised $783,054! That means my dad’s only a little over $200,000 away from his goal of $1 million. I know how deeply he appreciates all you’ve done to enable his historic campaign to recruit voters and delegates. Can he count on you one more time to help him reach his $1 million goal? If so, I hope you’ll click here to donate right away. Even if you’ve already given this weekend, please consider contributing again. And if you haven’t yet donated, I can’t stress enough how much of a difference your gift will make – and how much it will encourage my dad as he continues marching to Tampa. The “old guard” Republican establishment is pulling every trick in the book, from ignoring the rules to flat-out shutting down Conventions, in order to block Ron Paul supporters from carrying the day. But there’s one very important thing we must realize – this is how the Convention game is often played. That’s why out-organizing the competition – which my dad’s campaign is doing by leaps and bounds – is only one part of his strategy. The other part involves fighting back EVERY time the rules are broken. You see, we’re up against people who have been doing this a long time. They can navigate a few complaints about rule-breaking. What they CAN’T ignore is an operation fully equipped to fight them tooth and nail, delegate by delegate, for every last inch of ground on the road to the nomination. Deny us one county, and my dad’s campaign will fight to take three in return – and control of those counties’ party chapters along with them. Send in a few entrenched insiders, and my dad will greet them with a grassroots ARMY at every meeting... ...But only if he has the funds to turn out his supporters, provide them with all the information they need to become delegates, and then guide them through the process all the way to the Republican National Convention. So please, donate right away to the Give Me Liberty Money Bomb. I know many want to give, but their backs are against the wall financially. So if you can’t personally donate, I urge you to contact 5 friends and ask them to give $5 – and then encourage each of them to contact 5 of their friends with the same request. If you’ve already contributed, I hope you’ll consider doing this, as well. You’d be surprised how fast such a small amount can add up if enough people pitch in. And there’s no doubt about it - this is the most critical fundraising drive of my dad’s entire campaign. He’s determined to take his message to Tampa and to secure every delegate spot he can along the way. Hundreds of meetings will be held in the coming weeks and months – and in many of those locations, only a little investment could result in overwhelming victory. If you’ve been waiting for “the right moment” to give, this is it! Thanks to the support of so many grassroots Americans, my dad has gone further than the establishment ever thought possible – and digging deep one more time could make all the difference in putting him over the top and capturing the nomination. The clock is winding down on the Give Me Liberty Money Bomb, and our goal of $1 million is within reach. So please, click here to give right away. For Liberty, Rand Paul P.S.  I know firsthand how deeply my dad appreciates your support, and I hope he can count on you one more time to help him reach his goal of $1 million for the Give Me Liberty Money Bomb. If you just can’t give at this time, please contact 5 of your friends and ask them to give $5 – and then urge each of them to contact 5 of their friends asking the same. To win this race, my dad must be able to meet any challenge with a fully equipped operation that can fight for every last inch of ground on the road to the nomination.

No Clue

Dear Erick, “You don’t have a clue!” That’s what my Campaign Chairman, Jesse Benton, said to an MSNBC talking head yesterday who was belittling my chances at winning the Republican nomination. The truth is, Jesse was 100% right.  I’ll explain everything shortly. But first, Erick, if you haven’t yet contributed to my Give Me Liberty Money Bomb, please do so IMMEDIATELY! You see, the reality is that my campaign is racking up delegates in state after state, but it’s absolutely critical I reach $1 million . . . With your support, my campaign will keep winning incredible victories like we saw in Missouri today! Just hours ago, St. Louis City and Jackson County – the second largest county in the state – held their caucuses to elect delegates to the Congressional District and State Conventions. The results? ***    In St. Louis City, my supporters completely SWEPT the caucus – winning ALL 36 delegates and alternates to the District and State Conventions; ***    In Jackson County, after five hours of caucusing, my supporters won the overwhelming majority of delegates, doubling the number of the next closest candidate. As a result, I’m now leading the delegate count in the largest caucus state in the entire country! Rick Santorum? SHUT OUT! While several weeks ago, Rick Santorum spent days campaigning to win Missouri’s meaningless straw poll beauty pageant, my campaign was working hard to win the votes that really matter – Missouri’s delegates. That’s because my campaign is strategic, smart – and very frugal with our donors' hard-earned money. I’m making sure we spend our resources where it counts.  Rick Santorum can be elected beauty queen all he wants.  I’ll stick to delegate hunting. And all this success is despite the establishment’s attempt to shut out patriots like you from participating in their elections. Remember what happened last week in St. Charles County, Missouri, when GOP officials declared the caucus over with no winner and no delegates elected? Well, the Missouri GOP is holding a new caucus in St. Charles – and has guaranteed a free and open process. They’ve even agreed to allow TV cameras in to film the Caucus. Erick, this is just one example of where you and I are WINNING where it counts in state after state. But if we’re going to take an army of delegates from Nevada, Iowa, Washington State, Alaska, Missouri, and elsewhere to the National Convention, the bottom line is my campaign must have the resources to continue organizing at the next level. That’s why I’m hoping you’ll make a generous contribution to my Give Me Liberty Money Bomb! Your generous contribution will be put to immediate use in my campaign’s hunt for delegates. So please, dig deep and make a contribution to my campaign’s Give Me Liberty Money Bomb IMMEDIATELY! You and I are ROCKING the entire political establishment nationwide. Now we must finish the job. Please contribute TODAY! Together, you and I can Restore America NOW! For Liberty, Ron Paul P.S.   After the results of today’s Missouri Caucuses, I am now leading in the delegate count in the Show Me State. But the battle is still raging on, and I must have the resources to continue organizing these delegates for the next step of the process. So please make the most generous contribution you possibly can afford to my Give Me Liberty Money Bomb!    Paid for by Ron Paul 2012 Presidential Campaign Committee www.ronpaul2012.com

Cupcakes

Dear Erick, Right now, from Alaska to Missouri, from Minnesota to Washington State, key local county conventions are taking place. In just the next few hours, I hope to start receiving report after report telling me Ron Paul supporters took on “old guard” establishment hacks, beat them, and ended up with dozens of new State Convention delegates. But at any moment, I could start hearing reports of funny business, too. I have key campaign staff ready to fight back at literally any moment anywhere in the country. But the truth is, these fights are not cheap. So if you haven’t yet contributed to Ron Paul’s Give Me Liberty Money Bomb, please do so IMMEDIATELY. Already, we’ve raised $650,860. But we simply MUST reach $1 million to continue picking up delegates, launching legal challenges when necessary, and turning out Ron Paul supporters to KEY county convention caucuses and state conventions. You see, there’s some that like their Republican Party exactly the way it is. They got involved in politics because they wanted a social club where they wear hand-me-down pearl necklaces and eat red, white, and blue cupcakes with their friends. And they wish good folks like you - who truly care about constitutional principles and limited government – would just shut up and go home. They didn’t invite YOU to the party! I’m sorry to disappoint them, but as far as I’m concerned, Ron Paul supporters aren’t going away. This is a R3VOLUTION, after all! And Dr. Paul is the ONLY candidate standing up for what the Republican Party is supposed to represent: individual freedom and limited constitutional government. With it looking more and more every day like we could be headed to a brokered Republican National Convention this August, our organization at the grassroots level is what will put Dr. Paul over the top. But I can’t do it without your help. So please contribute to the Give Me Liberty Money Bomb IMMEDIATELY. It’s absolutely vital we have the money to keep paying for the phone banks, mail, email, and ads to turn our supporters out – and pay for the legal fees when “old guard” GOP hacks resort to their dirty tricks. The truth is, they’re fighting us because they know we’re winning. As the summer months heat up, and we inch closer to August, more and more people are going to figure that out, as well. No other candidate can match our supporters’ dedication and determination. But Ron Paul must be able to count on you.  Every person matters. Please contribute to the Give Me Liberty Money Bomb IMMEDIATELY. Thanks so much for your support. For Liberty, John Tate Campaign Manager P.S.    We’ve raised $650,860 so far!  But we still need to reach $1 million so I can keep paying for all of the phone banks, mail, email, and ads it will take to turn our supporters out to key county and state conventions – as well as pay for the legal fees when “old guard” GOP hacks resort to their dirty tricks.

Etch A Romney

Dear Erick, Truth is often stranger than fiction in politics. Like when a Romney senior campaign adviser admits on national television you can "shake up" a campaign and "start all over" in the general election - as with an Etch A Sketch - in case your candidate came off as too much of a conservative in order to win the nomination. You just can't make that kind of stuff up. But I think comparing this race to an Etch A Sketch is appropriate. After all, Mitt Romney, Rick Santorum, and Newt Gingrich have just been toying around with the voters for the past several months. They'll say exactly what the American people want to hear about change, but you can be sure they'll revert back to their big spending, Big Government ways once in office. I've released a new web ad today that cuts through the sound bites and gets right to the heart of the matter. Simply put, it's time to get serious. After you watch our ad, I hope you'll donate whatever you can to our Give Me Liberty Money Bomb so we can promote real solutions to get this nation back on track. This Money Bomb has received an incredible response so far, and I've authorized my staff to extend this effort through Sunday night so we can have every resource possible to continue fighting for delegates all the way to the Republican National Convention. All three of my Republican opponents have to try to seize on any little comment, because there's not enough of a substantive difference to set them apart. Mitt Romney supported TARP, forced Massachusetts' citizens to buy only the health care bureaucrats authorized, and signed a so-called "assault weapons" ban in Massachusetts. And viewing the records of Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich is like discovering a checklist for how many ways the Constitution has been violated in recent decades. A campaign shouldn't be about how hard one has to try to be conservative or to be "reinvented." Your beliefs should be obvious from a lifetime of standing up for them. That's why your support in our Give Me Liberty Money Bomb is so critical today. NO other candidate has a leg to stand on when it comes to upholding the Constitution. EACH of them will have to either apologize for their past records when facing President Obama or "shake things up" by reverting back to their old ways. Erick, our country is crushed by a national debt that gets closer to $16 trillion every day. Millions are out of work, and our nation's defenses are weakened by nation-building, following the dictates of the UN, and policing the world. Serious problems call for serious solutions. And my "Plan to Restore America" will implement those solutions by cutting $1 trillion in one year, balancing the federal budget in three years, and eliminating five unconstitutional and wasteful federal agencies. The establishment knows how deep of an impact my campaign is having, and that's why they're fighting us at every turn. Whether it's outright distorting my record, ignoring the successes we've seen, or trying to block us from accumulating delegates, I'm up against the full weight of the establishment machine. So I need your help more than ever. After you've watched our new ad, I hope you'll forward it to your friends and family to start a conversation on the serious changes needed to confront our nation's dilemmas. And if you're able to donate to our Give Me Liberty Money Bomb, I hope you'll encourage those same family and friends to match your donation. No candidate has the delegates necessary to capture the nomination, and I believe a brokered convention is a very real possibility - one where anything can happen. But to get to Tampa, I must have your continued support. Please give whatever you can right away. For Liberty, Ron Paul P.S. My campaign has released a new web ad that cuts through the sound bites and gets right to the heart of the matter. It's time for serious solutions to the serious problems facing our nation. I hear stories every day of the tremendous successes we're experiencing in accumulating delegates all across the nation, and only your continued support can keep our efforts going. I've authorized my staff to extend our Give Me Liberty Money Bomb through this Sunday night, but please don't delay if you can give tonight. The full weight of the establishment machine is coming down on my campaign, so your immediate help is more important than ever.
