That's terrific news, NU. I was wondering what kind of a fund-raiser Dr. Paul might be attending when Hugh Hewitt told his listeners yesterday (while interviewing Duncan Hunter, IIRC) that he "might have him on in the third hour" because he was at a fund-raiser.

Frankly, I see little to gain in appearing on Hewitt's radio program. He has a dwindling listening audience as he continues to beat the Romney drum and admits he's a Johnny-come-lately on the issue of illegal immigration, which stirs his radio audience much more than any alleged anti-Mormon sentiment. And we both know what subject Hewitt would zero in on if Ron Paul would appear on his show. Neither man would score any points against the other one.

I have confidence that money will go a lot further in Ron Paul's campaign than in any of his competitors', as his is truly a grass-roots movement which doesn't need massive amounts of expensive TV and print advertising to get the word out. There's never been anything like it before, even in the draft Goldwater days.

We are literally spending hundreds of thousands of dollars, if not millions, of our own money on our own campaign materials. From signs, to handouts, to bumper stickers, t-shirts... we hire airplanes to circle the beach on weekends and overhead populated cities.

No other candidate has this kind of support. Counting in these private “donations” of sorts, we easily have the same monetary backing as Rudy and Romney.

Ron Paul is top tier.
