Ron Paul: Campaign Cash KING of 2007

He raised more money in Q4, has more cash on hand overall, and less debt that any other GOP candidate.

OpenSecrets.org has posted the Q4 fundraising results.

With $19.9 million, Ron Paul has raised more funds than any other GOP candidate (67 percent of Romney's $26.9 million haul was his own money), has more cash on hand than Mitt, John, or MIke, and has absolutely zero debts!

In Q4 fundraising, he is only three million dollars behind Democrat Obama, and he is the only candidate in the entire field, Democrat and Republican) who has no debts, not even to himself.

This is entirely in accordance with his very frugal character and constitutes proof that only he can get the country out of its current debt crisis.

The total national (federal government) debt is at 9 trillion dollars. According to the head of the GAO (US Government Accounting Office), including unfunded mandates (promised entitlements of the Bush administration like free prescription drugs for seniors, etc) the total national debt lies at $59 trillion.

That is three times the entire amount of US dollars in existence around the world today!


Vote Ron Paul on Super Tuesday - or else.

Went to a Ron Paul Rally in Denver last night: The place seated over 1,500 people, and at least have that were left standing wall too wall. Altho the local media reported "1,600 supporters" showed up, it was really more like 3,000 - 4,000 supporters. This movement has exploded more than any other Candidate in the race despite the lack of media attention. Go RON PAUL!!! http://www.RonPaul2008.com
