Could it be this simple to Win?

Wow! Can I use the design as inspiration? I want to do something similar, but I don't want the original designer to get upset

I feel the same way, that ad could be quite appropriate for what I'd like to do. I'm not an advertising type of person, so I'll need to copy off someone else

I am so impressed with this thread!

This is proof that Federalism works. If you do it in one state and it works, then other states will want to follow your lead.

If we did it in Jefferson county and it worked, then do it in all counties!!!!

The more decisions consolidated to the federal level the less efficient it is...

I did it, but I'm still waiting for the approval of the person who made it. I think that I improved on it. Its not quite done yet, but its pretty close

We need to make an ad that will win the Christian vote back to us.

1. Explain the constitution, bill of rights etc.
2. Explain why we need to protect it
3. Explain the patriot act and what it does to the constitution
4. Explain how easy the laws can be used in future admins to target Churches.
5. Explain how EVERY other candidate voted on the patriot act.

Done and done. We win.

Support your local meetup. If you don't have a meetup I may need help supporting a full page ad. I am going to pitch it to my meetup tonight.

Let's think about this for a moment. What has been the single most used strategy the neo-cons have been implementing to get the masses to comply with their policies on national security and foreign policy? FEAR.

Like me, I'm sure many of you have on occassion run into a brick wall trying to get Conservative family/friends to convert over to Ron Paul. They simply don't get the message. I believe, there is a genuine emotional block there, which was instilled in the majority of Americans by the media after 9-11. This FEAR is ingrained in the collective subconscious. Some, (like myself), have awakened, but others still believe that we have to have our soldiers over in Iraq (and elsewhere), to protect us from the terrorists and that we must have the Patriot Act even though we may lose some of our personal freedoms.

Ron Paul said on B. Moyers the other night, that his #1 campaign issue is changing our foreign policy and bringing our military home, because it is directly connected to the enormous debt in this country. And if we don't correct that first, we would have to withdraw all our military anyway because we will become bankrupt which would make us more vunerable.

Our foreign policy is the greatest threat to our freedom and prosperity. If the neo-cons can use fear for negative reasons, maybe we can use a little fear for positive reasons. The media is not reporting the serious trouble our economy is. The $ is falling. We borrow billions from China to fund the war. If people were aware that there's a very real possibility that we can go bankrupt, THAT would scare them more than the terrorists. As in the majority of sucessfuls ads, you explain the problem, but then you offer the solution.

If we can create ads that makes this the main focus, I think it could make people sit up and take real notice because it will really shake them up. We could still show Ron's list of what else he would do, but I feel this should be a main focus. Someone on the forums brought this up a few months back, and did a great job in explaining it in detail. It was brilliant. That's just my opinion..

I just tell people all along that it was Osama Bin Ladens plan for us to ruin our economy by spending billions of dollars. Tell them the neocons could not think this one through and played right into Osama's plan. Let them know that in a world of chaos both Osama's and the neocon's ideology thrives.

We need to get pictures of soldiers deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan to take pictures of themselves holding Ron Paul signs. These would be great for newspaper ads.

Libertygrl,

May I use your comments to send to our local columnist? It would seem that we have all the writings we need right here and we can also bombard the editor of our papers with stuff like this:

Exactly! This is what he wanted. He knew it would destroyed our economy like he did with USSR back then and he's a smart man. Why can't Americans see that?

How is news of this newspaper ad campaign being spread? I hear about some people contacting their meetup groups about it, but if this is THAT BIG, then we need some way of informing all the meetup groups. If we don't do that, then we're not going to make a very big difference. How do we inform all of them?

 

[DanielDeibler]

Keep this stickied throught the duration of the campaign.

My Meetup group is now organizing a newspaper ad campaign in our area as a result of this thread.

I contacted the meetup alliance for Ron Paul and asked them to get the word out. You may do the same. I just find it difficult communicating with anyone with the meetup groups especially when the organizers have the messaging set to forum form. All meetups should be set to email form.

This is AWESOME!!

Amazing, Amazing!

Please get the word out to every corner of the nation! ADs! ADs!! ADs!!!
