Ron Paul’s campaign is surging by the quarter. His growth can be seen by analyzing his quarterly fundraising haul:

First Quarter 2007 = $641,000
Second Quarter 2007 = $2.4 million
Third Quarter 2007 = $5.3 million
Fourth Quarter 2007 = $9.2 million (and counting, still over one month to go)

I project a total fourth quarter tally of roughly $15 million.

This has been happening while the other GOP candidates are stalling.

This chart precedes Dr. Paul’s large fourth quarter tally. His campaign has zero debt and is run frugally and responsibly.

As further insight into the growth of the campaign, check out this link to ObamaLA.com - this site was started as a pro-Obama site and grew to a group of 2,500 LA-based supporters - and the guy running the site recently switched to supporting Ron Paul after doing more homework!! That’s called grass roots growth right there.

Ron Paul is surging in popularity due to a number of key things. Most importantly, he is honest, he has integrity and a verifiable and open voting record, he opposes our extreme foreign intervention, he is a champion of liberty, he wants to fundamentally eliminate deficit spending and the Federal debt, he believes in the rule of law and following the constitution, he believes in self-determination and personal due diligence, he wants the government to stop acting as if it is the master of the people, and so on.

He has a number of books in print: look up A Foreign Policy of Freedom for a compilation of great writings on how a free society should operate in relation to the world.

Plain and simple, Ron Paul is catching on. He speaks truth to the people and is not for sale to the highest bidder. He represents YOU and US. There are a lot of very real reasons why his support is growing rapidly. Please take the time and research for yourself. Whatever choice you make, I just urge an educated decision, not one based on name recognition or party line. We need a change to reasonableness and Ron Paul is a great hope for America.

Cheers!
Kemp
