On either November 20, or 21, USA Today will be running a full-page, black and white ad in support of the campaign of presidential candidate Ron Paul (R-Tex), currently titled "An Open Letter to the American People."

The ad will be paid for by a wealthy Ron Paul supporter in Massachusetts who will be placing the ad on his own behalf and is not associated with the official campaign. The graphic design work is being provided out of NH, and the ad concept is the brain work of the team at www.ronpaulforums.com, sources said.

The black and white ad will emphasize the constitutional nature of the Ron Paul campaign and the foundations of his small-government, anti-tax and anti-foreign entanglements perspective.

Oh boy, FMNN

I actually can attest to the validity of this story...In fact, I know the whole story and I can say FMNN got it right... and was nice enough to leave enough information out to leave our great hero anonymous..because the guy who back it has a huge heart and is very humble. A true patriot. This person makes me want to give that much more...its inpiring, and that is why I share it with all of you.

Thank FMNN, leave a comment.

With all due respect to the forums, am I the only one that cringes to think the forums will be the first place newbies might come to find out about Ron Paul?

edited: I've got to read more closely. . .looks like article mentions forums, not the ad. Thrown off by title a bit.

Perhaps- but these mentions are out of our control. We stayed under radar for about 7 months, but after the 5th of November, our forum has been all over the news.
So- I suggest...no use to worry about it. Its out of our control. What we can do though, is try our best to make this place "newbie" friendly. Remember you are an ambassador.

Umm, have you seen some of the stuff that gets thrown out here? One particular F-bomb thread was quite entertaining and sure to delight millions of conservative voters.

I wouldn't blame the forum, I'd blame a handfull of of non-supporters who troll and flame and verbally abuse people.
Like I said earlier... if you are worried about the conditions of the forum for new people... it is your individual responsibility to change what you can about your own behaviors... we can't do anything else about the rest...
It is in the hands of the moderators who have been very liberal in not banning people who are causing problems. Its a fine line between free discourse and tyranny.

Did you notice the thread topic is about someone coughing up a large amount of their assets to put a full page ad in the USA Today? Want to debate profanity filter, start a new thread please. And I say that with sincere respect.

I'm a newbie. For the most part I've been welcomed, treated with respect, and I haven't seen undue swearing. I know some of you have seen a lot of campaign moles go through here, but accusing newbies of trolling could be off putting to them and counter productive to Dr Paul's campaign. Just saying....

 

[werdd]

We need to get this to the msm.. pronto.

Please note I have already thanked llepard in the original thread before FMNN posted this. I wasn't the one that started that de-rail, I just attempted to put it to rest so it wouldn't poison your thread.
