Michigan Resident Flies from Germany to Cast Ballot '0001' for Ron Paul

Rally Monday in Jackson
JACKSON, Mich.--(Business Wire)--On Monday, January 7, supporters of Republican presidential
candidate Ron Paul will meet in downtown Jackson, Michigan one week
before the January 15 primary election to help spread the message of
peace, smaller government, and personal liberty.

   The rally centers on the homecoming of Jackson native Robert
Douglass, who is returning from Germany to cast his absentee ballot
#0001 for Ron Paul that day. Mr. Douglass is flying in from Germany
that day to personally hand his ballot to the county clerk, and to
rally with his fellow Jackson residents for ten-term Texas Congressman
Ron Paul.

   Ron Paul supporters from Jackson and surrounding areas will meet
Mr. Douglass between 1:00 and 3:00 pm at the intersection of Jackson
and Michigan Avenues to celebrate as he "casts the first vote for Ron
Paul" in Jackson, the birthplace of the Republican Party.

   "Throughout Jackson and statewide, Dr. Paul enjoys tremendous
grassroots support," said Paul Michigan state coordinator Leslie
Roszman. "The dedication of supporters like Mr. Douglass is a
testament to Dr. Paul's confident leadership and strong message of
freedom, peace, and prosperity. While Jackson residents will be
rallying tomorrow, the rest of our state's 10,000 volunteers will be
readying for victory on January 15."

   The Ron Paul 2008 Michigan campaign has recently opened offices in
Flint and Ann Arbor, and the state headquarters in Detroit.

   The state campaign headquarters is located at Seven Mile and
Telegraph Roads, at 18981 Telegraph.

   The Michigan presidential primary is January 15, 2008.
