Putting these up is a lot more than just for the delegates. I know I said that in the OP but there actually more to it. I want the criminal liars and hacks running the corrupt GOP to feel our presence in St. Paul. And to remind them their time in power is short lived with us on their asses. To remind them, and all the delegates, that McCain is the worst possible candidate for endless reasons. I want them to have to see the billboards the entire time they're in the city with no way to "censor" our message. Not this time! It's also about media attention. When RP has his massive rally, and all the other things going on, these billboards will have our back, blasting the message 24 x 48 feet. If we get the funds, we can put the designs on up to 60 city buses. There are 100 other reasons to launch this campaign.
The city is going to be totally chaotic, but our message will still be felt LOUD AND CLEAR!
The whole concept is amazing, Adam et al. I love how dynamic and multi-media-oriented it is.
Where else are you trying to raise money? I know you did well here on the forums with the last few states, but this is a bigger budget project.
Campaign funds? Is that an option?
I absolutely love this idea and the sign designs. I will contribute in the future and spread the word in my local group.
I hope everyone else does too! I'm going to St. Paul and I wanna see this!![]()
This is too good an idea to pass up.
PLEASE donate.
I'm not trying to sabotage anyone's project. In fact I'm offering my objective advice to make it more effective so that we might actually have a chance of winning.
And I don't have the time or resources to "launch my own project" because I have to feed myself. Also, why launch my own, when I can simply offer advice and consultation to one that is already in the works and has momentum?

Yeah - spend the money on something more productive.Any quote suggestions for the billboards?
we need to spread this far and wide if we want to get 100,000I think $100,000 would probably be enough for ALL the BillBoards/bus-Taxi ads/Newspaper/Radio/TV.

WASTE OF TIME - WASTE OF MONEY - WASTE OF EFFORT!
Here is why:
What is the goal of this? To get delegates to vote for Ron Paul of course.
However the best way to convince these people is through one on one correspondence, and one-on-one conversation. A billboard is actually one of the least effective forms of advertising, especially for producing short-term results, just like the Blimp.
We can get a hold of these people individually. Sending them DVD's is a great idea. Writing them dozens of letters is even better. Calling them and talking to them is 2nd best. Buying them lunch and having a conversation with them is the most effective way to change them over to our side.
I have a minor in marketing, and the most effective sales / marketing actions are ones that are personalized and personal.
