Ron Paul Local Fox News Coverage Evansville, IN 12-17-2007

The day after the record-setting Tea Party money bomb, our local Fox affiliate follows up on the event's success.

They did get the figure wrong, but that was really the fault of the campaign as they left an outdated statement at the top of their website saying they'd raised $5.4 million, instead of the more than $6 million they actually raised. They need to get on top of that and not let it happen again. Mistakes like that cost BIGTIME! If their information had jived with my press release as it should have, it would have been bigger news.

Anyway, this local coverage was the result of a lot of effort notifying the local media with press releases detailing our activities. I suggest more groups do the same. When you have an event, try to tie it in with something larger that might get national attention, and make sure you notify ALL your local media outlets beforehand so they know what you're doing!

Also, try to be seen at events you know they're already covering. This has worked well for us too.

RP fans listen up.

Lets fight fire with fire....lets become the journalist at all the other campaign meetings. Have someone carry a video recorder, fit in, and then ask the questions that they do not want to answer. Smear the MSM candidates just like they have tried to smear RP. Tape it and post it on you tube and watch it go viral.

I hope so. I only have $300 to go before I hit the Federal max, so I'm going to have to reduce my donations to just $100 each for then next 3.

I donated $500 each in the last 4.

Personal record!!??

More than 16 million!? What the fuck!?

Does anyone (besides TUCKER, rofl) fact-check anymore?

[TheFreedomRevolution]

It's over $6 million, the highest EVER in United States history for a political campaign! It's not just a "personal" record.
