Presidential candidate Ron Paul's avocation of a humble foreign
policy and his determined anti-war stance has once again been
proven to be extremely popular amongst American servicemen and
women as newly released figures reveal the top three contributors
to the Congressman's campaign are from the U.S. Army, U.S. Navy
and U.S. Air Force respectively.
The figures have been posted at www.opensecrets.org,
the website for the Federal Election Commission, the body that
oversees campaign donations.
“No matter how you measure it, Dr. Paul has
the support of our nation’s brave servicemen and women,”
said Kent
Snyder, Ron Paul 2008 campaign chairman. “His
message of a strong national defense, and only going to war with
a declaration of war – as mandated by the Constitution –
resonates with those who risk their lives to defend that Constitution.”

HOW TO READ THIS CHART: This chart lists the top
donors to this candidate in the 2008 election cycle. The
organizations themselves did not donate ,
rather the money came from the organization's PAC, its individual
members or employees or owners, and those individuals' immediate
families.
Organization totals include subsidiaries and affiliates.
Because of contribution limits, organizations that
bundle together many individual contributions are often among
the top donors to presidential candidates. These contributions
can come from the organization's members or employees (and their
families). The organization may support one candidate, or hedge
its bets by supporting multiple candidates.
(Article continues below)
Ron Paul has received almost triple the amount of
military contributions as John McCain, whose top contributors
do not include any branch of the military.
The Congressman's total military donations also
add
up to almost as much as all the other remaining candidates,
Republican and Democratic combined.
The figures overwhelmingly prove that those on the
front lines in Iraq and Afghanistan as well as veterans understand
that Ron Paul is the only candidate who truly supports the troops
by believing in a strong national defense while rejecting the
gross abuse of the military via unconstitutional aggression.
