“The Ron Paul campaign realizes Nevada is an important state in the Republican nomination process, and this visit reflects that,” said Jennifer Terhune, Nevada Communications Coordinator for the Ron Paul campaign. “And the great turnout for Dr. Paul at every event shows that there is a lot of support in Nevada for Dr. Paul’s message of freedom, limited government, and national sovereignty.”

Ron Paul’s first stop was at the American Academy Of Anti-Aging Medicine’s 15th Annual World Congress, where he spoke regarding health freedom to seven hundred medical doctors from around the United States. Later that day, Dr. Paul traveled to Henderson International School, a private, college preparatory school, where he addressed an assembly of three hundred elementary school students, teachers, and parents.

Dr. Paul then headed north to Fallon, where he spoke to a gathering of one hundred and seventy-five Churchill County Republicans. Churchill County Republican Chairman Mark Feest also addressed the crowd, and announced that Ron Paul was the first presidential candidate to visit Fallon.

The next day, Ron Paul continued his tour of the Silver State and headed east to the mining community of Elko. He appeared on local television and radio stations before addressing two hundred and fifty Elko County Republicans gathered in the Red Lion Hotel Casino. Dr. Paul spoke of personal freedom, limited federal government, and drew the largest round of applause when he expressed his strong support of national sovereignty.

Ron Paul’s campaign has been gaining strength in recent weeks, and has already raised over $18 million in this quarter, including $6.02 million raised in a twenty-four hour period on December 16th, breaking all previous single-day fundraising records. The campaign is using this money to focus its efforts in the early caucus and primary states of Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, and Nevada.
