Ron Paul 2012 Presidential Campaign Committee

"The One"-updated version +
:60 ad from Dec. 201, 2011, run in Iowa and NH.

[Music] Male Announcer: It's the story of a lost city, lost opportunity, lost hope. 

A story of failed policies, failed leadership.

A story of smooth-talking politicians, games of he said-she said, rhetoric, and division.

One man has stood apart, stood strong and true, voting against every tax increase, every unbalanced budget, every time.

Standing up to the Washington machine, guided by principle. 

Ron Paul.  The one with the plan to cut a trillion dollars year one, eliminate the waste, balance the budget.  Ron Paul, the one we can trust.  The one who will restore America now.

Paul (voiceover): I'm Ron Paul and I approved this message.

Notes: Done in the style of a movie trailer for an action film.  Changes from the original version of three months ago include the introduction of several images of Gingrich ("insider deals") and the reference to the "plan to cut a trillion dollars year one."  Perry, who had a couple of appearances in the original version, is no longer shown.  Romney still makes a brief appearance.

Here is the original version with changes in bold and strikethrough:
