Ron Paul Military Donations Nearly Twice Those of His GOP Rivals and Obama Combined

Sun, 05 Feb 2012 03:47:07 +0000

From the Wall Street Journal’s Market Watch:

LAKE JACKSON, Texas, Feb 03, 2012 (BUSINESS WIRE) — The Ron Paul 2012 Presidential campaign raised more campaign donations from active-duty members of the military than all other presidential candidates combined–Republican or Democrat–according to a Paul campaign internal analysis.

A veteran of the Cold War-era, Paul raised more than $150,000 from active military in the fourth quarter. This comes after the Congressman outraised all GOP candidates — including all GOPers combined, and President Obama singularly — in the second and third quarters of last year. Dr. Paul also outraised his GOP competitors in a head-to-head comparison during his 2008 run for the presidency.

Especially notable is that Paul raised about triple the amount Obama received and about six times that of all currently-competing Republicans–Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich, Buddy Roemer, and Rick Santorum–combined.

Taken together, this means Dr. Paul raised approximately double the money from active military than all the candidates from both parties combined.

Romney and Gingrich each received around $10,000, meaning Paul trumps them by about 15 times in a head-to-head matchup.

Ron Paul Nevada Team Names ‘Small Businesses for Ron Paul’ Nationwide Coalition Members

Sat, 04 Feb 2012 00:10:56 +0000

Main Street owner-operators from Clark County to assist with outreach and turnout
HENDERSON, Nevada – The Ron Paul 2012 Presidential campaign announced today the newest members of its active “Small Businesses for Ron Paul” nationwide coalition.

New members named today hail from Clark County, Nevada, and pledge to spread the word about Dr. Paul’s ‘Plan to Restore America’ within their respective communities and workplaces. Recently, Dr. Paul released details of how the plan will help Nevadans with the Nevada-specific elements of his “Plan to Restore America.”

“As a self-employed businessman I have seen a sizable loss of my income during this economic crash that Dr. Paul has been predicting for more than a decade. The only reason that capitalism and free enterprise is considered bad is because the government manipulates it,” began Wayne Williams, a Henderson business owner.

In support of Dr. Paul, he said, “Four years ago commentators, debate moderators, and fellow candidates scoffed when Ron Paul warned us, but they aren’t laughing now. I recognize his dedication and devotion to the cause of liberty and his devotion to the Constitution. Not since Ronald Reagan have I been this excited for a candidate from either political party. Dr. Paul is the only one that understands this country’s problems and will fix them.”

Employer of three, swimming instruction business owner David Perkins also announced his support for Ron Paul. “Dr. Paul’s ideas are the solutions to the problems I am encountering as a small business owner.”

Perkins continued, “I am being choked by government intervention and taxes. My own plans of job creation are almost impossible to enact because of regulations and bureaucracy. Small business owners need to realize that Ron Paul’s platform is not only a blueprint for individual freedom but for the freedoms of small businesses as well.”

William Wisecarver, a Las Vegas resident, has extensive experience in creating and executing financial and operational strategies for optimizing national security, satellite communications and high-tech business operations. His success in key leadership positions for large organizations and small entrepreneurial enterprises led to his establishment of SACON Capital Inc. in 1998. SACON Capital Inc. provided financial and operational management and later evolved into TechBank.

Mr. Wisecarver supports Dr. Paul because he is “the only viable candidate in either party that offers a true alternative for changing the current course our nation is now headed toward.”

“I support Ron Paul for President of the United States as a veteran, a business owner, and an American citizen. I am in total agreement with Ron Paul’s plan for effective change in Washington. Only a real and sustained reduction of the federal bureaucracy can help this country. We need to support Dr. Paul and send a clear message to Washington D.C. that we demand change,” he explained.

Mr. Wisecarver is also a former U.S. Marine and TOPGUN graduate who accumulated over 1,200 hours of flight time. In 1996, Wisecarver accepted a one-year appointment at NASA for the development and implementation of the agency’s restructuring and commercialization of the International Space Station Program.

As a function of this announcement, the above-mentioned persons are all members of the “Small Businesses for Ron Paul” nationwide coalition, in particular its Nevada steering committee.

As a first basic step, those interested in joining the active “Small Businessesfor Ron Paul” nationwide coalition should visit the official page by clicking here. Prospective members should also send an email to nvoalitions@ronpaul2012.com, writing the coalition name in the subject line.
