Hello Everybody, see the email below from the Nashville TN meetup group. Looks like they are taking things into their own hands and buying up some major newspaper spots before super Tuesday. Any help that you could provide would be very much appreciated. There is a chipin link for credit card donations for anyone that can help. Thanks to all!

They don't call us the Tennessee Volunteers for nuthin!

Dear Tennessee Ron Paul Supporter,


Things are getting exciting in Tennessee, as I'm sure you're well
aware. Thompson is out, leaving Ron Paul and the other 4 candidates
to duke it out in our state. Since we cannot count on the mainstream
media to report on Dr. Paul's message in a fair and balanced fashion
(if at all), it is up to us to get the message out.

Our local meetup here in Nashville has purchased a newspaper ad
package that will reach 73% of the Middle Tennessee market an average
of 5.2 times during the 12 days leading up to our primary Election Day
for a total of over 4 MILLION IMPRESSIONS!!

The package included several advertisements in the Tennessean, several
in some local county papers as well as some web exposure on the
Tennessean's homepage. The finale will be a full banner ad at the
bottom of the FRONT PAGE both Feb. 4th and 5th!!! It was an
incredible opportunity we couldn't pass up.

The Paul campaign is frugal and tight-lipped, making it difficult for
us to know what advertising help we were going to get from national,
so we had to make the decision to go it alone and take responsibility
for our immediate area. Time was also short, so we didn't have the
time to raise the necessary funds before buying the ads. Fortunately,
a member of our meetup was willing to shoulder the risk and write the
$7,000 CHECK FROM HIS OWN POCKET!! It was a great gesture, but we'd
like to raise the money now to help repay him what we are able.

I know you may not live in Nashville or even Middle Tennessee, but I
want to ask you to help anyway. Keep in mind, Ron Paul represents
Tennessee as a state, not regions, and IF RON PAUL WINS, WE ALL
WIN!!!!

So far we have raised $1,186. It's a great start, but we have a
ways to go to reach our $7,000 goal and we only have a few days left.
Please, donate what you can today.

To contribute by credit card or paypal, click the following link:
http://tennesseansforhonestpoliticians.chipin.com/tn-ron-paul-media-blitz

By check, send it to Ron Paul Headquarters- Nashville, 9 Music Square
W, Nashville, TN 37203.
Make checks payable to "TENNESSEANS FOR HONEST POLITICIANS"

Or, if you're in the Nashville area, you can drop cash by in person.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Tennessee is our best chance to snatch up some of the Fred Thompson supporters, they were a strong force here. I'd say at least 40% of my county would have voted for Thompson. We need these voters. I think we can get quite a few of them. Absolutely NO McCain support here, a large Paul contingent, some Romney after Thompson's departure and some are headed to Huckabee's camp. We need to get the word out on Dr. Paul before they get attached to another candidate! I've converted 2 Thompson supporters to Paul, potentially others on the way. It can be done!
