Supporters of Rep. Ron Paul, R-Tex., have managed 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 (MOA) 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 35W 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.

I hope these ads wake-up a few delegates. Too bad they couldn't have had Dr. Paul's book in every hotel's night-stand drawer withing a three-mile radius of the GOP convention. Now THAT would have an impact!

Ron Paul – a voice of wisdom in a world gone insane. He was our last best chance to avoid the coming crash. Still, following his wisdom will allow us to lessen its impact and speed our recovery.

Ron Paul's ideas are absolutely the most important ideas I have ever heard. I have just finished reading the book from the billboard. It has ideas that, no matter what your political affiliation, you can get behind. We must restore the constitution to what it once was. Most people that listen to what the mainstream media and our elected officials have to say are completely oblivious to how many laws and occasions our government has violated the constitution. People need to wake up and read that book.

I'm happy to see that the fantastic ad that the CGA animators put so much hard work into is being given this kind of exposure. It's awesome!

Awesome adds Ron…nice work, money well spent. As this Fiat economy continues to crash bubble after bubble people will no longer be able to afford to be ignorant to the gold standard and economic problems we are currently in and have been in since 1913 (Federal Reserve). We can only hope people will start doing their own research. Can't wait to see you in ST. Paul for the Rally!!

I can feel real change in the air; we are taking America back – no matter who is at the top of the ticket. We will pray and turn from our wicked ways and God will heal our land (I hope!)

Ron Paul is right, of course. That's why he was marginalized.

I'm sure the GOP will arrange to have it all taken down. Freedom is dead in America.

If freedom is dead in america, than why would anyone send their children from america to fight in foreign wars? To pay the bills?

To bad the MOA pulled the airing of High Tide after 2 days citing it was to political. Imagine that… Does this truly come as a surprise to anyone? So sad.. “Let it not be said that noone cared, that noone objected once it's realized that our liberty and wealth are in jeopardy. Let it not be said that we did nothing.” ~Ron Paul~

WTF? Ron Paul is a CGI construct?!
Just kidding, LOL.
Great message. Spread the word!

Rah, rah, Ron!! He's the only one giving us the unvarnished truth.
Sure hope the rally will be able to be viewed by those who can't be there!
