Feb 12, 2008 – Coinciding with the 1 year anniversary of the commencement of Congressman Ron Paul's 2008 Presidential campaign, this project was initiated and paid for by numerous supporters via the website RonPaulBillboards.com. The billboard promotes Ron Paul's core message of liberty and will run for 4 weeks. It's located in the heart of downtown aside the bustling and at times heavily congested Interstate 35 highway. This prime location in the entertainment district near the Capitol and University of Texas, has the potential to reach over 5 million commuters in the 3 weeks preceding the March 4th Texas primary. The historic launch of this billboard demonstrates the steadfast support for Presidential candidate and Texas Congressman Ron Paul, who is also currently running to keep his Congressional seat in Texas's 14th district.
Ron Paul Billboards was founded by Kerry and Harold Gray in November of 2007, to support Ron Paul by displaying ads on billboards publicizing his campaign issues. Through contributions on their website RonPaulBillboards.com, they launched billboards in early primary states such as Cedar Rapids, Iowa; Manchester, New Hampshire; and two in Columbia, South Carolina. Now in their home state, they are extremely pleased to be a part of this historic display of Ron Paul's message of freedom, peace, and prosperity in downtown Austin. Ben Godwin recently joined their team and is currently the lead graphics designer responsible for the outstanding Austin, Texas billboard design. Important issues such as, ending the war, strengthening the dollar and supporting the Constitution are displayed in the 14 x 48 ft. ad. More than merely a campaign, this movement is bringing about a transformation of ideas. "It will not end at the Republican convention. It will not end in November. It will not end until we have won the great battle on which we have embarked. Not because of me, but because of you. Millions of Americans -- and friends in many other countries -- have dedicated themselves to the principles of liberty: to free enterprise, limited government, sound money, no income tax, and peace. We will not falter so long as there is one restriction on our persons, our property, our civil liberties.", states Ron Paul. In his latest correspondence video uploaded on Youtube, he calls for a national march in Washington D.C. to physically demonstrate the size of this freedom movement.
The phenomenal grassroots support for Ron Paul endures, thanks to generous and freedom loving individuals who have come together in the hope of real change for America. There were 11 Republican candidates, now just three remain. Dr. Paul forges ahead and as he proceeds further, people are increasingly drawn to his fiscally conservative values and libertarian views. His adamant supporters are committed to this crusade, and their ideals shall persevere in the hearts and minds of those involved in the Ron Paul Revolution. The Ron Paul 2008 campaign did not authorize or have any involvement in the concepts, designs or funding of the billboards.
