This made me smile! - http://www.readthehook.com/stories/2008/01/10/COVER-Prez-B.rtf.aspx
I live in Charlottesville, VA, and today I spotted (one) of our major weekly magazines with this beautiful cover story with our local Ron Paul Meetup group on the front cover! With a circulation of about 20,000, this will get around! I should also add this is the home of Thomas Jefferson and his University of Virginia. Liberty thrives here!
Enjoy -

Jack Faw: $2,000 (plus $3,000+ in blimp costs) to Ron Paul
Seven months ago, retired goat farmer Jack Faw had no intention of getting involved in this year's presidential campaign, He'd had his hopes dashed one time too many.
"I worked hard for Barry Goldwater in 1964," says Faw. "When he lost, I was heartbroken. Since then, I've just voted for the lesser of two evils."
But then, in May of last year, Faw was watching a Fox News debate between the Republican candidates in South Carolina, and he fell in love at first fight.
"When I saw Ron Paul stand up to power and tell Rudy Giuliani that it's our interference in the Middle East-- not our values-- that makes the terrorists hate us, I got online and made a donation to his campaign that night," says Faw.
The more Faw learned about the Texas congressman, the more he knew this wouldn't be a one-night stand.
"He's like a prophet," says Faw. "Our government is way too big, we're going broke, and he's the only man standing up against it. He's been in Congress 35 years fighting for the things I believe in, and I didn't even know it."
The law limits contributions to $2,300 per election, but Faw has found ways to go beyond donating cash to Paul's coffers. Every day, he hands out literature and preaches the gospel according to Paul to anyone who will listen. That's a task that's become easier with the help of a particularly conspicuous visual aid he acquired for $3,000-- a 15-foot long helium blimp.
"Radio and newspaper ads, they just get lost," says Faw. "But this blimp's definitely gotten people's attention. Our group has really grown over the last few weeks."
