Michigan’s large Muslim population says that Ron Paul is the only Republican presidential candidate to reach out to the community in the run up to Tuesday’s promary. Chris Moody reports on Ron Paul’s outreach to Muslims in the Dearborn area, complete with specific campaign written in English on one side and Arabic on the other:
“Ron Paul’s Plan to Restore America,” the flyer read on the English side, and listed seven of Paul’s campaign priorities, including: balancing the budget, cutting spending by $1 trillion in one year, and, of course, auditing the Federal Reserve.
The Arabic-language side, according to a translation provided by Todd Weston, Paul’s regional volunteer coordinator for Dearborn, had a slightly different emphasis, including a mention of “these difficult times,” and only four priorities–the three above plus an end to foreign wars. (The additional pledges on the English-language side were all domestic: lower taxes, entitlement reform, reduced spending on government employees and deregulation.)
Moody has a picture of the flyer and a deep dive into Republican outreach (or lack thereof) to Muslims in Michigan. Read it all here.
