*Foreign Policy Ad Extremely Vital at this Point*

[Okie RP fan]

Reposting from the "Campaign Suggestion Box" for more views. I know a lot of us see this as a major priority. I hope the campaign gets to working on something soon.



Many of us have been talking on here and asking the campaign, through whatever way we can, to bring out the big guns and create a hard hitting and honest ad on Ron's foreign policy. One that would crush all of the misconceptions and fallacies perpetrated by the media.

It needs to touch on the following:


-Start off with this quote by Ronald Reagan: "Ron Paul is one of the outstanding leaders fighting for a stronger national defense. As a former Air Force officer, he knows well the needs of our armed forces, and he always puts them first. We need to keep him fighting for our country." (KetchupMaster)
-Ron's defense of Israel in the 1980s
-Ron wants a STRONG national DEFENSE
-Ron wants secured borders with boots on the ground
-Ron wants to "cut the head off the snake" when it comes to illegal immigration (a part of foreign policy)
-Ron wants diplomacy and free trade with countries who are willing
-Ron will go to war with a proper declaration from Congress if our nation is threatened
-Michael Scheuer's endorsement
-Ron's donations from the military
-And a closing quote with Benjamin Netanyahu saying this quote "...friends, we do not need any nation building. We are already built."

Anything else I missed? Please add. We are losing conservatives and Republicans left and right because of Ron's perceived foreign policy. The media and radio talking heads always thrash Ron and his supposed foreign policy stance, while agreeing with mostly every other issue that Ron stands for.

The campaign needs a foreign policy ad a.s.a.p. And now would be a really good time considering we are going into South Carolina.
It needs to be well made and it needs to go viral the second it hits the Internet and television. What we did with Gingrich's ad, we can triple the effect with Ron's foreign policy ad.

So, anyone with connections within the campaign, please tell them to get on the ball with this idea.

Yes yes yes, Ron Paul is not going to be the anti-Romney if misconceptions about his foreign policy continue to exist.

This this this. We seriously need to get people spreading the word on foreign policy. It's killing us.

Is there anyone that can make a template letter to send to the campaign via, website that we can all send to them so they get the message? It needs to get out there ASAP. It's too late for South Carolina, but at least we'd still have a shot in the western and southern states.

you cannot depend on people to do their own research to find out what Ron Paul's stance really is. they just get junk from the media/radio.

 

[Ilhaguru]

I agree. A full 30 or 60 seconds ad about nothing else.

 

[UK4Paul]

I agree.

 

[ssjevot]

I agree.

Can someone contact either RevPAC or SantaRita about this? I think it would be easiest to get one of them to do it.

How long do we have to continuously bring this up before it is seriously addressed by the campaign. They have been doing great this time around, but I think this is their biggest failing so far.

Exactly. We are in a window right now where it needs to be released before it is too late. The foreign policy argument is what will cause this campaign to go stagnant, or retake a strong position in the race.

This is so critical that the campaign release something. And when/if they do, we need to do everything we can to make it go viral.

He really needs to work on his explanation for why he opposed OBL's assassination. He's been asked a million times but seems unprepared every time and hasn't honed his response at all. I agree with him but every-time he's asked the question his response makes me cringe.

I've been saying this, too, and it seems like it's been falling on deaf ears. Will we or won't we have a serious foreign policy ad from the Ron Paul Campaign that will put to rest the neocon accusations once and for all???

 

[Blue_Merle]

Good to see positive reception to the OP's concern. Mind you this concern has been vociferously demanded by others as well over the last quarter.

What i'm not happy about is the obvious TROLLS on the forum that try to condemn anyone that calls out the campaign on it's shortcomings.

"Wa Wa Wa don't criticize the campaign they know what their doing Wa Wa Wa!!"

Pussies. This shit is important.

This election is life or death to some young troops out there and if you think they won't be KILLED IN ACTION in Iran within the next 48 months your scum to me.

Some people have stated our ad is the "Secure" one that never really went anywhere, it's about 30 secs. long. And, honestly, it's not good enough and so much has occurred that should be added to that ad (like the bolded part in the first post).

Matt Collins, someone, please get on the ball with this.

Yes we need this I think a full 60 is needed, too much for a 30 but we desperately need an ad for this, and fast.

I am thinking a full 90 second ad for the Internet for spreading, while a 60 second version for television and/or radio.

And I know an effective commercial can be made and touch on all of this within 60 seconds, let alone 90.

 

[coffeewithchess]

I'll tell you why. They aren't serious about winning South Carolina, and wrote it off months ago apparently. You don't not address this issue, and the seniors issue, and every other issue they have ignored...instead they just run attack ads? Is RP's campaign simply a PAC, designed to run attack ads? Is that what they're preparing for?

None of this makes any sense on the political side.

Unfortunately it appears that he has spent little to no time preparing a good answer for this and another of other questions he gets continuously hammered on.

How many months (years) have we been saying this? Since he ran the last time? Right. Sorry people, but if RP doesn't make it this time...there is no other "Just wait for 2016." It's now or never.

 

[dbill27]

Foreign policy ad is vital!!!! We can't just address blowback either, we need to show what Ron would do as president in specific situations!!

 

[Okie RP fan]

Well, I know many others have created threads pertaining to this subject, but let's try to keep this thread bumped until we hear something from the campaign.

Seriously, this can no longer go ignored or pushed back. They need to give us grassroots a break with this issue.
