This is an awesome picture of Paul that was named "Political Photo of the Year" by the White House News Photographer's Association, but I can't find a larger size of it anywhere! I want this as my desktop background. (I found it for him)

I wish I could take credit for the sign, but I saw another supporter using it and thought it was too good of an idea not to use!

ALL POINTS BULLETIN: Massive Money Bomb for Ron Paul "Battle of Thermopylae"

Submitted by dexterszyd on Fri, 02/24/2012 - 20:05 Daily Paul Liberty Forum

CALLING ALL RON PAUL PATRIOTS:

RE: Money Bomb coordinated with the massive Spartan Rally!



We are on the verge of a historical showing for RON PAUL on the campus of Michigan State University.

Home of the Spartans!

Many you have seen the fictional film "300" based on accounts of the great 300 Spartan warriors who defied a Persian onslaught of an estimated army over 1 million strong. What incredible odds.....it was known as the Battle of Thermopylae.



We are facing such odds and I am calling for your help! We need support and need you to fortify the perimeter in East Lansing MI. Home of the Spartans! Please see my post for information on this truly historic event!

Ron Paul is coming to MSU! (TODAY) Let's make this the biggest showing yet! | Ron Paul 2012 | Peace . Gold . Liberty

But the Battle of Thermopylae can't be won by just the Spartans that will attend. If we are to make the largest impact on this truly historic day, I am calling on those who are not able to attend to donate to a new money bomb on the day of the rally. This is totally impromptu and will be like the money bomb of the old days when we all gave in the name of Guy Fawkes Day.

TODAY WE DO IT FOR SPARTA!

The Ron Paul Revolution shows the world our strength and why WE WILL NOT BE DEFEATED!

On Monday February 27th let's make a push simultaneous to the the Spartan Rally and call this money bomb the "Battle of Thermopylae"

Spread the news!!!!! Let's get the word out...make your pledge and support the Spartans! Draw maximum attention to this huge Ron Paul Rally by making the LOUDEST noise ever.....

Will you defend our cause?.......Now go and spread the word! Light the grass fires and activate the grass roots.........

FOR LIBERTY and for RON PAUL!

Ron Paul’s Only Strategic Mistake, But It’s a Whopper

Written by Gary North on February 27, 2012



Ron Paul’s TV ads are missing a chance to change America for the better after the Republican National Convention this year.

There is a universal rule in all direct-response advertising. This rule is never honored in political advertising. It is this: Offer an action step.

The seller has paid for an ad. Why? Because he wants the ad’s reader or viewer to buy something.

In lots of cases, the targeted reader will not spend a lot of money on something, based on one ad. Then the ad must recommend the first step in a sale. Usually, it offers a free report. Best of all, it offers a free digital report. It costs basically nothing to deliver it.

The free report can be long. It hammers away at a theme: the benefits of taking another step. Step by step, the reader moves toward making a purchase.

TV ads are expensive. They never ask the viewer to do anything.

In ads that are not Super-PAC ads, they end with this: “I’m [so and so], and I approve of this ad.” He should ad: “Please visit my website.”

What should every ad do? List the campaign site’s address.

Why?

To get him to visit the site.

Why?

To offer him a free something.

Why?

To get his email address.

That email address is worth at least $1 a year. It will also be a way to remind the person to vote. Or send in money. Or buy a bumper sticker.

At the very least, the ad should show the candidate’s website. Or his Facebook site.

The younger the targeted audience, the more ready to take this step the viewer is.

If the candidate wins the nomination, he will need these addresses.

If he loses, he can use these addresses.

Think of Ron Paul. What could he do with these names and addresses?

1. Start the Ron Paul Academy: K-12 education like the Khan Academy.
2. start a grass roots training program to take over county governments.
3. Start a Web-based video show that keeps viewers informed.
4. Start a newsletter on the Federal Reserve.
5. All of the above.

All of these would provide enthusiastic supporters answers to this question: But what can I do?

Could he find advertisers? Yes.

Could he offer books and other materials? Yes.

Could he create a permanent political force? Yes.

Doesn’t he see this? I don’t think he does.

Do his ad producers see it? No.

People who create ads have only one skill: to create ads. They are not strategic thinkers.

Must they be told what to do by the ad buyers? Yes. Will they resist? Yes. Will they offer 15 reasons why this will not work? Yes. Why? Because it’s not anything they have experience doing.

To the knee-jerk response, “That will hurt the ad,” the correct response is this: “Test it. Run two versions of the ad. Let’s see if the action step ad hurts my campaign.”

Ron Paul is throwing away an opportunity to change the nation after the Republican National convention in 2012.

No candidate has ever done anything to extend his influence after he loses. But there has never been a candidate like Ron Paul.

I do not understand this. I do not understand why the person in charge of his campaign is not taking advantage of the opportunity of a generation to change the political climate of the United States.

This article is an ad. Every ad should have an action step. This one has two.

1. Share a link to this ad with every Ron Paul supporter you know.
2. Send a link here: RonPaul2012.

I’m Gary North, and I approve of this message.

Rasmussen Poll

Ron Paul 2012

RASMUSSEN POLL

Paul 43% Obama 41%
Romney 45% Obama 43%
Obama 45% Santorum 43%
Obama 49% Gingrich 39%

Rasmussen:
For the first time ever, Texas Congressman Ron Paul leads the president. In that matchup, 43% prefer Paul and 41% Obama. Ten percent (10%) would vote for some other option, a figure that includes 17% of Republicans.

Paul has the biggest gender gap of any GOP hopeful. The libertarian congressman leads by 13 among men and trails by eight among women. Paul also picks up 15% of the vote from self-identified liberals.

Paul now joins Rick Perry, Herman Cain, Santorum and Gingrich as front-runners who have led the president in a single Rasmussen Reports poll. However, it remains to be seen whether Paul can do what those others have not accomplished and lead the president more than once. So far, the only GOP candidate to do that is Romney.

My opinion - the gender gap is because Dr. Paul is not Mr. Movie Star. Yet, my young adult nieces are for him. He should wear shades coming into his talks as he did once; it looks cool. As said by one young female fan: 'Like a boss!'
