Today, the Ron Paul 2012 Presidential campaign released its latest television ad . The 60-second spot entitled ‘A Veteran’s Best Friend’ highlights Paul’s military service and unrivaled commitment to veterans.
“Dr. Paul has a long record in Congress as a strong advocate for veterans and issues important to them, particularly in making sure that they receive recognition for the sacrifices they’ve made in service to our country,” said Ron Paul 2012 National Campaign Chairman Jesse Benton.
The ad is the first in what will be a $1 million television push over the next few weeks. It is scheduled to air nationally on the FOX News Channel during debate coverage and run heavily in New Hampshire, Iowa, Nevada, and South Carolina on broadcast and cable. At this stage in the primary election cycle few other campaigns have the ability to make an ad push of this scale, putting the Paul campaign in elite company.
Regarding the campaign’s ad push Benton went on to say:
“Our campaign is seeing growing momentum now and is doing this ad blitz to cement ourselves in the top tier. We’ve seen Dr. Paul’s poll numbers steadily increase, with strong showings in recent New Hampshire and Iowa polls, as well as strong head-to-head showings versus President Obama.”
As a presidential candidate, Congressman Paul has garnered more donations from active-duty military than all of the other Republican presidential candidates combined, and more than President Obama as well. Paul’s consistent adherence to Constitutional principles regarding American foreign policy, and his calls to bring the troops home in order to defend the country as opposed to spending trillions policing and nation-building in foreign lands has gained him wide support among veterans and active military alike.
Transcript
Joe R. Pena: We arrived in Vietnam in September, September the 14th.
Rene Reyes: We were fighting what was called the Viet Cong.
Joe R. Pena: They broke through our lines and we had to go hand-to-hand with them.
Rene Reyes: I was one of 9 out of 65 that came back after a whole year, and that’s hard to forget.
Joe R. Pena: We had 75 killed, 115 wounded.
Rene Reyes: Vietnam was hell.
Joe R. Pena: We had never been been thanked for our service. Never. Congressman Ron Paul got my medals for me and presented them to me, and that was an awesome feeling.
Rene Reyes: People break down and cry, because they’re [finally] getting the medals that they deserved.
Joe R. Pena: It takes a veteran to understand a veteran, and he is a veteran himself.
Rene Reyes: Ron Paul is a veteran’s best friend.
Joe R. Pena: He said, “Thank you for your service”, and shook our hand, and gave us a hug. That will always be there.

Im signing up for the army pretty soon, in hope of being a ranger with the 75th Ranger Reg. We need Ron Paul as our president, we need our pride and the respect from others back. Bush was good in the sense he kept an aggressive edge to the US, however in other senses he fucked up, don’t get me started on obama, i like him, especially for ordering the attack that killed bin laden and slowing down the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, but we need Ron Paul who can do both of these, at home & at war

It’s not enough to say “Vote Ron Paul”
PEOPLE NEED TO SWITCH PARTIES 12 WEEKS IN ADVANCE OF THE PRIMARIES IN MOST STATES.
IF YOU DO NOT SWITCH IN TIME YOU CANNOT VOTE IN PRIMARY.
IF YOU ARE NOT REGISTERED REPUBLICAN YOU CANNOT VOTE IN PRIMARY.
REGISTER AS A REPUBLICAN. FIND OUT WHEN YOUR STATE HAS PRIMARIES. FIND OUT WHERE AND VOTE! GO TO YOUR TOWN HALL TO SWITCH!

Who is putting together these commercials? They are THE SHIT! Love these. They are definitely helping the campaign. Passionate, strong messages that appeal to conservative voters. Anyone have the full story here? It sounds as if Ron went through trouble to get the medals.

Ron Paul is currently trying to raise “…$1.5 million by September 30 to launch an all-out TV, internet and targeted voter mail blitz in key early primary and caucus states”. Any contribution helps! SPREAD THE MESSAGE!

Kennedy was one of the only Presidents who was for the people, and went against the interests of the lobbyists. And for that he was shot.
When Ron Paul gets to the White House, he better hire security.

I heard that Ron Paul’s Campaign is planning to send 1 million dollars to run this ad. What a waste of money if you ask me. It really doesn’t send a strong message as to what Ron Paul stands for or what is platform is.
Here is the ad I would have chosen:

Interesting how adding comments is disabled on Rick Perry’s latest campaign [scare] video. Shows you what kind of democracy the other candidates value when they are afraid of free speech.

Bandwagon shithead idiots. Remember when you were running around with your Obama stickers saying “John McCain is too old to be the president”.? You were only repeating shit you heard other people say because you really don’t know anything about the political arena. Ron Paul is older than John McCain…formulate your own opinions. Dickfaces.

You were fighting what are call human beings, sent on a lie for many to die. I thank you for your loyalty to america. I apologize to those that lost love ones and for that I’m truely sorry. Thank you again, but I can see we didn’t learn from it. Let me say that our leader didn’t learn from it…I think in my heart that they don’t care. None of the leaders kids died in any war “lie” did they????
