Letter to Ron Paul

I sent the following letter to Ron Paul. I included the attachment in this post.

To: Ron Paul
Re: claim the initiative by redefining the debate - be bold

I have a suggestion for using some of Ron Paul's money. I put together a sample full page newspaper ad that will help Ron Paul grab the initiative in the presidential race by redefining the debate. I think you should run this or a similar ad in Michigan papers, then in South Carolina, then I would run it in the major national papers like NYTimes, WSJ, LATimes, Houston Chronicle, some Chicago paper.

Running this ad will change the debate for all Americans. It will become the focal point of the news discussion shows. The other candidates will be forced to talk about these issues in the context of big-government.

I think Ron Paul still has a chance to make a huge impact, and I think an ad like this that makes people think and talk about big-government works in everybody's favor. Everybody except the Republican and Democrat statists running for president.

I've attached the native odt format as well as doc format, since I don't know what the doc format will look like.

If government was ½ as big,

you would make twice as much money

Imagine if the size and scope of federal, state, and local government had been ½ as big for the last 50 years. Today, that would mean nearly $2 trillion dollars per year that is wasted on big-government would be invested in the economy instead. Project that back 50 years. Imagine if taxes, regulations, mandates, restrictions, subsidies and all the burdens of government that hamper competition and cripple growth had been cut in half for the last 50 years.

• You would make twice as much money each year as you make today

• Your yearly savings, investments, lifestyle, and charitable donations would be doubled

• After saving and investing double for 30 years, your wealth would be 100 times greater

Imagine the impact the resulting economy would have on technology and trade.

• America would be 25 years more advanced technologically than we are today

• Manufacturing and financial jobs would be flocking to America, instead of leaving

• Entrepreneurs would have already developed clean, inexpensive alternates to oil

• America would be running a huge trade surplus, not a huge deficit

• Our dollar would be stronger than ever and rising in value, not falling like a rock

• The cost of health care would be nearly free

• Education would be nearly free, and our students would be the best educated in the world

Imagine how the rest of the world would have reacted to the US economic and technological lead.

• Neither our military nor the CIA defeated the Soviets

• American workers defeated the Soviets by out producing them

• We would have won the Cold War in half the time

• The Vietnam War would never have happened

• The Soviet invasion of Afghanistan would never have happened

• Osama bin Laden wouldn't have learned to be a terrorist in Afghanistan

• Other countries would have been forced to follow the US lead to compete

• Freedom and Constitutional government would have flourished around the world

• The world would be a much safer place because of it

Big-government Republicans and Democrats kept all these wonderful things from happening. Every candidate in today's presidential campaign is a big-government Republican or Democrat, and will continue the big-government polices that keep America and the world from thriving in freedom, except Ron Paul.

Vote Ron Paul

for President
