My local meet up group has been holding signs at a very busy mall traffic spot in Lancaster PA. This week we got the media out and it resulted in a full page article in our Sunday paper on page six, with a picture on top of page one as well. There was also a reader's opinion piece in the Perspective section on page one about the good doctor and a picture of Ron Paul and a few other candidates accompanying an article about independent voters also on page one of Perspective section of the Sunday News. The woman dressed as the Statue Of Liberty is my brother's wife, and that image helped alot in drawing attention.

Links to the newspaper article, there is video link to the right of the article as well

Get involved with your local meetup group this is proof it can make a difference. Notice how favorable Ron Paul's treatment is from a respected local writer, not an impersonal AP reporter. That kind of thing makes a big difference.

Thanks Man from La Mancha, I couldn't figure out how to get that image into a post. That's Amy Mink headshot from that photo was on the top of page one in the Sunday Paper with the following script:
Lady Liberty
That statue of Liberty you might have seen Saturday on Harrisburg Pike traffic island near Park City Center was really Amy Mink, one of the supporters of Republican presidential hopeful Ron Paul. For story, Page A6.
kudos to Lancaster Papers for a fair article
