“Dear Readers,

On December 16th, a grassroots movement for Republican Ron Paul successfully raised over 6 million dollars in 24 hours for his presidential campaign. No candidate from any party has ever duplicated this effort. Supporters of Ron Paul previously raised over 4 million dollars in 24 hours just a few weeks ago, on November 5th. In fact, despite all their media coverage, even the so-called Republican “front runners” haven’t been able to raise as much money this final quarter as Congressman Ron Paul. And, while his rivals get much of their proceeds from special interest groups, nearly all of Ron Paul’s donations come from ordinary people just like you.

Speaking of ordinary people, have you noticed any Ron Paul signs in your community? They were likely placed there by average citizens, not paid staffers. Many supporters even purchase or fabricate their own signs using their own money. It’s an effort to raise Ron Paul’s name recognition. This has become a necessity due to the virtual blackout of Ron Paul by the mainstream media. Many of these supporters have switched parties just to vote for Ron Paul. Some are even registering to vote for the first time in their life just so they can be a part of the effort to get him elected. Ron Paul supporters come from all walks of life and cannot be defined by any stereotypical group or association.

Ron Paul supporters use the most unorthodox measures imaginable to try and introduce people to an exceptional candidate with an exceptional platform. The myriad ways in which people have spent their time and money to propel this movement is truly inspiring. It takes a special person to garner that kind of broad, endearing support from everyday citizens. That’s why you don’t see similar enthusiasm on display for any of the other candidates running for President.

Ron Paul isn’t considered a “top tier” candidate yet, because he isn’t polling very high as of this writing. Much of that has to do with the fact that most people have never heard of Ron Paul or don’t know much about him. If you’re one of those people, keep that in mind the next time you hear the results of some national poll being reported.

Is it merely a coincidence that so many people still know so little about Ron Paul? Do you find it strange that you don't hear Rush Limbaugh talking about a dedicated Republican candidate who has the most stellar conservative voting record of anyone on the ballot? Isn't it odd that the hawkish Sean Hannity isn't eager to publicize the fact that Ron Paul receives more donations from people in the military than all the other Republican candidates combined? Why wouldn't a conservative network like Fox News want to boast that Ron Paul has won more straw polls and online polls than any Republican in the race? And why in the world has the Republican Party all but censored one of their own contenders?

I hope these questions will stir your curiosity and prompt you to explore these mysteries for answers. If you do, you’re going to discover what the Ron Paul Revolution is all about…and why you need to be a part of it.”
