Assuming you are using Windows, you can use this free program to convert the .jpg files to .pdf files.

I have used pdfcreator in the past. It works decently.
Here is another program I haven’t used:

Also, I suggest rescanning those pages at a higher resolution .tiff file, then converting them to .pdf with the program linked above.
After reading all of this, I don’t understand what the problem is. Outside of possible factual mistake on the amount of donations to the Helms campaign, everything in that newsletter is factually correct.
You can argue the ethical positions regarding Paul’s opposition to the Kemp and Dole measures to shut down PLO propagandists in Washington DC with terrorism justification, but the facts are correct. Paul took a position that supported the PLO, true enough, but not in support of the PLO’s positions.
Kemp and Dole were responding to this court case.

Facts For Your Files: A Chronology of U.S.-Middle East Relations
September 15:
By executive order, the Reagan administration closed the Palestine Information Office in Washington, DC. Under mounting pressure from presidential candidates Sen. Robert Dole (R-KS) and Rep. Jack Kemp (R-NY), the administration finally agreed to close the Washington office and leave open the PLO’s UN Mission in New York. The move was immediately criticized by the American Civil Liberties Union and a wide array of Arab-American and other US groups and individuals. Speaking at a press conference the next day, PIO Director Hassan Abdel Rahman noted that the PIO had not broken any US laws, and he pledged to contest the government’s closure order in court.

I was reading this earlier today, and I never doubted for a second that you actually had these newsletters from the Library of Congress.
If Ron Paul either approved/wrote these items than it is what it is and is pretty damning and reflects poorly on him.
In all seriousness, did you consider the possibility that these newsletters WERE NOT written by him or approved by him?
Have you or anyone else even looked into that possibility?
