Two Billboards on I-44 Highlight Troops Support for Ron Paul

Two bill boards--believed to be the first billboards of the presidential cycle here in Missouri--were installed along I-44 by Ron DeClue, the owner of Alpha Display Inc, a Missouri sign company. The signs promote Ron Paul, who during the last quarter, received more in campaign donations from Missourians than each of the other Republican candidates. These signs were not paid for by Paul's official campaign, however. A group of local supporters worked in conjunction with the American Liberty Coalition out of Wisconsin to design, place and fund the billboards.  This billboard design was created at Ron Paul Forums. The funding of this billboard was COMPLETELY driven by the designers of the billboard, on the forum.

One sign which is viewed by westbound drivers leaving Sullivan, MO reads “Our Troops Support Paul.” The sign uses a bargraph to show that Ron Paul is apparently the US Military’s choice for president. He receives more in donations from active troops than Obama and more than all of the other GOP candidates put together. In fact, www.supportthemnow.com, the website featured on the sign, links to OpenSecrets.org to show that the US Army, the US Air Force and the US Navy were the top three contributors to Ron Paul’s campaign during the 3rd quarter of 2011.

The other billboard, viewed by eastbound drivers just passing Leasburg, features the official campaign website: www.ronpaul2012.com where Ron Paul's "Restore America Plan" is outlined. This plan would balance the US federal budget by 2015, during the first three years of Paul's presidency, by cutting five federal departments and $1 trillion of spending--mostly US spending abroad. The plan would not cut Social Security or Medicare.

A recent Bloomberg poll shows Ron Paul statistically tied for first place in Iowa. Ron Paul won the NFRA straw poll a few weeks ago in the first-to-vote state of Iowa.
