rssRon Paul campaign targets third constituency group after farmers and gun owners
- Comments
U.S. Rep. Ron Paul‘s Iowa campaign has reached out to farmers and gun ownersduring the past two weeks. Now the campaign has set its eyes on small business owners with the roll out of a “Small Businesses for Ron Paul” coalition.

“Ron Paul has earned my support,” said Cary Peterson, president of Peterson Painting in West Des Moines. “His consistency in voting for what he believes above all other considerations affirms his integrity, and I am confident that his quality carries over into small business issues.”
Peterson Painting has been family-owned and operated for nearly 50 years.
According to the U.S. Small Business Administration, small businesses represent 99.7 percent of all employer firms, employ just over half of all private sector workers and pay 44 percent of total U.S. private payroll. Over the past 15 years small businesses have generated 64 percent of all net new jobs, and they contribute to more than half of the nonfarm private gross domestic product (GDP).
SBA defines a small business concern as one that typically employs fewer than 500 workers, is independently owned and operated, is organized for profit and is not dominant in its field.
“Regulation is contrived by big government and supported by big business to make it more difficult for small business to compete with them. Ron Paul has a career in politics voting against this type of regulation and leveling the playing field for the smaller businesses to be competitive,” said Marcus Fedler.
Fedler is president of Customs Impressions in Washington. The business provides screen printing, rubber stamp manufacturing and trophy and corporate recognition manufacturing services. Fedler is also the 2nd district co-chairman for the Ron Paul presidential campaign in Iowa.
Forming coalitions of constituency groups in Iowa has historically been a common practice in the lead-up to the first-in-the-nation caucuses. During this election cycle, however, Ron Paul appears to be the only candidate doing so in a public way.
U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) did release a group of 100 pastors and people of faith who have endorsed her campaign, and former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlentyannounced several individuals who will serve as county leaders for his campaign, but these coalitions of support — teachers, parents, outdoor enthusiasts, business owners or what-have-you — appear to be the sole domain of the Paul campaign at this time.

Transfer from Fifth Avenue KELLAND reviews: Paris, like a typical woman, except I installed lipstick and wallet handbag, my hands and ultimately, only pink Longchamp bags, which not only incorporated the apple of my laptop, basically do not put other into a small bag of things together even have won, including: notebook, maps, keys, or even the next day I went to the fitness center, exercise clothing. It is durable, can hold, color variety, cool Gouxuan, and do not, can have folded and placed handbag, very easy, no wonder Paris, regardless of status, regardless of color, a staff Longchamp sale, there is simply “French Country Package” status. Price is also very approachable, a little big nylon bag in general more than two thousand dollars, Longchamp Tote this large only in the thousands up and down, quite a bargain. Look like good-looking, durable good equipment, and inexpensive, brand impact is large enough … enough … really, you have no reason not to do with a Longchamp
