National Draft Ben Carson for President Committee to Reach 13 Million Listeners in New Awareness Campaign

Ads on the nationally syndicated “Sean Hannity Show” will encourage grassroots conservatives to clamor for Dr. Carson to run for the 2016 presidential nomination.

Merrifield, Va.—April 2, 2014—The National Draft Ben Carson for President Committee today announced a new awareness campaign to enlist more grassroots conservatives in its effort to draft Dr. Ben Carson into the race for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination. The 30-second and 60-second radio ads will air during the nationally syndicated “Sean Hannity Show” for four weeks beginning April 7.

“The National Draft Ben Carson for President Committee will not rest until we’ve reached every grassroots conservative with the message that Dr. Ben Carson is our nation’s best hope for restoring financial and moral sanity to the White House,” said Vernon Robinson, the Committee’s campaign director. “Dr. Carson has said it would be ‘un-American’ for him not to pay attention if the American people are clamoring for him to run. Hundreds of thousands have already signed petitions asking Dr. Carson to run, and this new awareness effort will reach millions more who will no doubt want to join the clamoring.”

The campaign includes two 30-second ads and two 60-second ads that highlight the importance of convincing Dr. Carson to enter the race for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination. One 30-second ad and one 60-second ad will air every weekday from April 7 through May 2. Hannity’s radio program is nationally syndicated by Premiere Networks and reaches an estimated 13.25 million listeners every week. The National Draft Ben Carson for President Committee ads were financed by their loyal supporters through a special fundraising campaign.

“Dr. Carson is one of the top three potential candidates for 2016 in large part because of the work the National Draft Ben Carson for President Committee is doing,” said John Philip Sousa IV, national chairman of the Committee. “Participation in the Committee’s efforts and Dr. Carson’s showings in numerous polls illustrate the growing wave of support for his candidacy, and the ads airing on ‘The Sean Hannity Show’ will bring more supporters into the fold.”

Dr. Carson recently finished third in two Republican presidential straw polls, the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) and the Northeast Republican Leadership Conference (NRLC). In January, Dr. Carson overwhelmingly won the Linn County, Iowa, midterm caucus straw poll with 87 percent of the votes. And 77 percent of respondents to a recent poll of Tea Party activists said they support Dr. Carson.

In its first six months in operation, the National Draft Ben Carson for President Committee raised $2,837,401 – more than double the funds raised in the first six months of the Draft Hillary effort. Nearly 47,000 individuals contributed to the campaign between August 21, 2013 and February 22, 2014. The average contribution amount was $45, with many donors contributing more than once.
