Media Bus

[ronpaulmn]

We've all seen/heard/read about a media blackout of RP. It appears some of it may be because the RP campaign isn't paying for the media to follow him around as some of the other candidates had/have done.

What if we had a money bomb type thing just to pay for the media to follow him around? Is this a good idea?
