Magic Valley Group Rallies to Raise Awareness of Presidential Candidate Ron Paul

Twin Falls, Idaho - October 1, 2007 - Magic Valley residents will be working to raise awareness of Ron Paul, the veteran Republican Congressman from Texas who is seeking the GOP nomination for the 2008 Presidential race. These local Ron Paul supporters, all volunteers who coordinate and organize their activities through the Internet, intend to have a rally to raise name recognition and general awareness for the candidate they feel should represent the GOP in the 2008 election. The group's organizer, Dave Easterly, who describes himself as a lifelong Republican who is disillusioned with the current direction of politics in America said "Ron Paul supporters are made up of some of the most widely diverse groups of people you'll ever meet - across all ages and backgrounds. We even see long time Democrats leaving their old party to join us in supporting Dr. Paul's message of true traditionally conservative values, strong national defense, secure borders, respect for the Constitution, individual liberty, and fiscally responsible government. I don't see defections from the Democratic party to support Thompson, Romney, or Giuliani. Neither they nor any of the Democratic candidates have the strong and direct message of liberty and responsibility that Dr. Paul has."

The rally will be held by the Twin Falls Ron Paul 2008 Meetup Group on Friday, October 5th, 2007. The group will be meeting at the intersection of Pole Line Road and Blue Lakes Boulevard in Twin Falls, ID at 4:00 PM to hold signs, wave at motorists, and hand out campaign literature to those who are interested in learning more about the Ron Paul campaign. The supporters say that they will be there rain or shine and hope that people will become curious enough about Ron Paul to do their own research and make an informed decision at the polls.

According to the Ron Paul campaign's official website at http://www.ronpaul2008.com, the campaign raised $1,204,525.74 in just one week in an online fund raising drive — more than double the original goal of raising $500,000.00 by the end of the quarter that ended at midnight Eastern time on September 30, 2007. Ron Paul also attended a campaign rally and fundraisers in Salt Lake City, Utah last month that drew over 1000 specators and supporters including many of the members of the Twin Falls Ron Paul 2008 Meetup Group.
