Supporters of Rep. Ron Paul made a sizable advertising buy with a pointed message aimed at attendees of the Republican National Convention (RNC) in St. Paul.
According to Paul's Campaign for Liberty, two billboards in downtown Minneapolis and an ad campaign on the closed-circuit televisions at the Mall of America were purchased by the Hancock, Wisc.-based American Liberty Coalition PAC.
Both billboards feature quotes from Paul's book, The Revolution: A Manifesto. A 40-foot-by-40-foot billboard proclaiming "Truth is treason in an empire of lies" sits atop the Minneapolis landmark 1st Avenue nightclub. Paul's Rally for the Republic will take place across the street at the Target Center on Sept. 2.
A second billboard, 14 feet by 48 feet, located near the Metrodome reads: "We're being taxed to blow up bridges in Iraq and rebuild them, while ours are falling down." The quote references the tragic collapse of the 35 W bridge located less than a mile from the billboard's location.
Additionally, a one-minute-long video featuring a computer generated image of Ron Paul will air once every eight-minutes on 100 televisions throughout the Mall of America.
