The Muslim Public Affairs Council recently published a review of the Democratic nominees which was sent out to all of their members, the media, and published on their website: http://www.mpac.org/article.php?id=596.
They are an influential non-profit civil rights group in the Muslim American community with a large national and international reach. Their articles often form the basis of or are directly reprinted in papers around the globe. They cannot explicitly endorse anyone but can write very positively or negatively about a candidate.
They are going to send out their review of the Republican candidates this coming week. It might be a good idea to send an email to mpac-contact@mpac.org to be sure they include information about Dr. Paul.
PLEASE BE NICE! They have spoken well of Dr. Paul quite recently:
The minority voices on this issue -- Congressman Ron Paul (R-TX), Congressman Dennis Kucinich (D-OH), and former Senator Mike Gravel (D-AK) -- have challenged America's alliance with Israel. They have utilized the high-profile platform of the presidential election to demand change in the present terms in the U.S.-Israel alliance, demanding accountability and increased self-sufficiency to govern the relationship.

So help make sure he comes across as the best candidate (without being explicitly endorsed). Possible topics:
- Opposition to Iraq war
- Against the Patriot Act
- Protecting our Civil Liberties
- For Charity (like his work at the hospital)
- Against Real ID
- Change in US aid to other nations
- For Civil Rights
- Religious freedom
- Anything that appeals to any other American! The Economy, Healthcare, etc.
Feel free to add more below.
If you can, include links to prove his points - even if it is just to his issues pages or writings from the Ron Paul Library or Youtubes of his speeches.
Of course, you can nicely contrast his position with those of the other candidates. That might help too.
Thanks for your help!
