Ron Paul Campaign Press Release - Ron Paul 2012 Presidential Campaign Releases Newest Ad

Highlights Paul's military service and unrivaled commitment to veterans

LAKE JACKSON, Texas— Today, the Ron Paul 2012 Presidential campaign released its latest television ad . The 60-second spot entitled 'A Veteran's Best Friend' highlights Paul's military service and unrivaled commitment to veterans.

"Dr. Paul has a long record in Congress as a strong advocate for veterans and issues important to them, particularly in making sure that they receive recognition for the sacrifices they've made in service to our country," said Ron Paul 2012 National Campaign Chairman Jesse Benton.

The ad is the first in what will be a $1 million television push over the next few weeks. It is scheduled to air nationally on the FOX News Channel during debate coverage and run heavily in New Hampshire, Iowa, Nevada, and South Carolina on broadcast and cable. At this stage in the primary election cycle few other campaigns have the ability to make an ad push of this scale, putting the Paul campaign in elite company.

Regarding the campaign's ad push Benton went on to say:

"Our campaign is seeing growing momentum now and is doing this ad blitz to cement ourselves in the top tier. We've seen Dr. Paul's poll numbers steadily increase, with strong showings in recent New Hampshire and Iowapolls, as well as strong head-to-head showings versus President Obama."

As a presidential candidate, Congressman Paul has garnered more donations from active-duty military than all of the other Republican presidential candidates combined, and more than President Obama as well. Paul's consistent adherence to Constitutional principles regarding American foreign policy, and his calls to bring the troops home in order to defend the country as opposed to spending trillions policing and nation-building in foreign lands has gained him wide support among veterans and active military alike.
