Judge Gray: This cannot be a coincidence

DRUDGE: GOVERNOR GARY JOHNSON MOVES FROM 2% TO 5.3% IN NATIONAL POLL

Friends,

This cannot be a coincidence.  Yesterday, our 15% Money Bomb, with a goal to raise $10,000 for every percentage point needed to get Governor Johnson to 15%, hit $53,000.  And yesterday, the news hit that a new Zogby poll shows him with 5.3%!

Whether you believe in omens or not, this is truly exciting.  The Zogby poll is generating a LOT of buzz in political circles – as it should.  And with more than $50,000 raised in a few short days, our Money Bomb is generating some serious buzz as well.  Check our progress today here: $150,000 for 15%

But, while $50,000 in a few days is great, it is only 1/3 of the way to our goal of $150,000.  We have much to do, and cannot let our momentum slow down. We don’t agree with the idea that a national “Commission” on presidential debates, appointed by Republicans and Democrats, should be allowed to set an arbitrary 15% polling threshold for inclusion in this fall’s debates – a threshold clearly designed to exclude Governor Johnson.  But, that is the number they have picked, and we are determined give Governor Johnson a podium on that national debate stage.

That takes funding – a lot of it.  And $150,000 will pay for radio advertising and the other tools we need in key states to make it impossible for the media elites to ignore Governor Johnson’s qualifications, his message of financially restraint and social tolerance, and the impact he IS having.

If you haven’t – or even if you have - please go to www.garyjohnson2012.com today and move the needle toward $150,000.  As Governor Johnson’s proud and excited running mate and the Libertarian Party’s nominee for Vice-President, I can personally assure you that Governor Johnson and I are working non-stop to put liberty and economic freedom back on the national agenda.  And I can tell you that folks all across the country are ready to get behind our campaign – if we can pull together the resources to reach out to them.

We’ll never have the corporate buddies or special interest money Barack Obama and Mitt Romney have, but we have YOU.  And that’s all we need.  Go to www.garyjohnson2012.com right now and make whatever contribution you can.  $35 will buy a 30 second radio spot in some of our key markets.  And that spot will reach thousands of voters.  Every dollar counts.

Thanks, and let’s move the needle!

Two Ads, One Million Dollars

It's only four weeks from Election Day.

 

You and I have twenty-eight days to finish doing what it will take to win Iowa.

 

That's not a lot of time.  I know you have seen, as I have, our poll numbers climb over the past weeks and months to put us within striking distance of the lead.

 

That's why it's vital we go all out during these next four weeks.  And my campaign is going to need every bit of help you can spare.

 

We didn't come this far by accident.  This campaign has already spent millions on TV, radio, mail, and grassroots activities this fall.

 

In fact, earlier today, the headline on The Drudge Report read, "Iowa Blitz:  Ron Paul Goes for Newt Throat."

 

You see, I have just authorized a new round of TV, radio, and mail to run this week and next featuring my campaign's ad "Serial Hypocrisy."

 

The cost of the entire program will be nearly one million dollars.

 

My campaign has paid the first $500,000.  But now I need your help to make the rest of the ad buy.

 

In fact, if you were holding off on contributing until the Money Bomb later this month, I must ask you to please contribute today at least half of whatever you were planning to give on the 16th.

 

The truth is, it has become very clear this year that I am the only candidate willing to make the hard choices.

 

Whether it's advocating the individual mandate central to "ObamaCare," supporting the $700 BILLION TARP bailouts, or cozying up to the radical environmentalists, there’s not a dime's bit of difference between my fellow top-tier candidates in this race for President – Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney.

 

And I am the only candidate with a plan for a one-year, trillion-dollar spending cut and a balanced budget within one term.

 

But it's up to you and me to make sure the voters understand the facts.

 

We certainly can't count on the national media to do that job!

 

I must raise $1 million this week to fully run both "Serial Hypocrisy" and "Big Dog" in both Iowa and New Hampshire.

 

So please be as generous as you can.

 

You and I are exactly where we hoped we would be four weeks out from the Iowa caucuses.

 

It is time to make sure that none of us enter January with any regrets.  I am working non-stop, as are my campaign staff and thousands of volunteers.

 

Please help us make these vital ad buystoday.

 

For Liberty,

 

Ron Paul
