USA Today Ad Creator & Other Hard-Money Pros Put $s Behind Ron Paul
Wednesday, November 14, 2007 - FreeMarketNews.com
Unlike the mainstream investment community which is built around “fiat” money or paper dollars, the “alternative money management business” is flush because it has bet on gold and silver during a time of unprecedented over-issuance of the shaky American dollar through printing and the granting of credit.
Now it is beginning to spend dollars to support its favorite “alternative” presidential candidate Ron Paul. Now one of them, Lawrence Lepard, is purchasing a $100,000-plus ad in USA Today on November 21st or Nov 22, as reported by FMNN yesterday.

But he is not the only one. Alternative, hard-money investment manager Peter Schiff recently asked everyone on his 60,000 email list to support small-government, hard-money candidate Ron Paul with maximum donations.
FMNN, DailyPaul.com and others have reported that increasingly the hard-money community is putting its credibility and fund-raising behind Ron Paul. Axel Merk (Merk Hard Currency Fund), Harry Schultz (Harry Schultz Letter), Jim Rogers, (Jim Rogers.com), and Richard Russell (Dow Theory Letters), plus Peter Schiff (Euro Pacific Capital) are all reported to publicly support Ron Paul – and likely asking clients and subscribers to support him as well.

Schiff/Ron Paul 'Money Bomb' – Wants $2300 Apiece From 60,000 Database

Hard Money Schiff Donation Drive for Ron Paul up to $50,000?
The manager purchasing the USA Today ad is Lawrence Lepard, and by law he cannot remain anonymous while purchasing, placing and publishing his ad on behalf of presidential candidate. He is not associated with the official campaign in any way.
The graphic design work is provided by Ron Paul supporter and longtime graphic artist Linda Lagana from NH; the ad concept was the brain work of Max, Walt, Lord Zar, Torchbearer, and the team at www.ronpaulforums.com.
Here is some information on Lepard’s company:
Equity Management Associates (EMA) is a Boston-based equity investment management firm. We seek to achieve capital appreciation and superior long-term returns by making investments in a limited number of public and private Growth At a Reasonable Price (GARP) opportunities. The GARP opportunities that we pursue have significant demonstrated revenue growth (over 20% yoy), are in defensible businesses and are priced to provide a margin of safety and a favorable risk/reward trade-off.
We search horizontally across geographies and categories for GARP opportunities, unlike traditional equity investment managers who are often restricted to one vertical target set of companies or a specific geography. Our flexibility allows us to move to markets which are attractively priced as they emerge. It also allows us to ignore or reduce our focus on relatively unattractive markets.
We employ a systematic, repeatable deal sourcing process developed through years of investment experience. We apply strict investment criteria in order to identify and select the best long-term opportunities.
For our first year of operation, we operated on a deal-by-deal basis, and funded our investment opportunities through our network of institutional and sophisticated individual investors. Presently, we are raising capital for a direct investment fund to add to our approximately $30 million of capital under management.
Our offerings include an investment fund, EMA GARP Fund, and individual transactions. We also publish a newsletter for current and prospective investors that details our activities and investment thought process.
