Help me buy more stamps & campaign supplies!

[Article V]

Is there any way you could use bumper stickers with the new 2012 logo instead of a revamp of the failed 2008 McCain-esque logo? It's very important that we try to brand Ron Paul as fresh and new, and I fear that the 2008 logo with a new number works against that effort.

That said, I love this project.

Article V,

I doubt very much that most people seeing these are even going to realize that the logo is similar to (or same as?) the 2008 logo. The fact of the matter is that there are lots of people in this campaign cycle that are just now learning about Dr. Paul and his principled stand for Liberty. I really don't think the look of the logo is going to hurt the cause - but failing to get "Ron Paul 2012" on as many bumpers as possible really WILL hurt the cause.

That being said, if you would like to purchase and help distribute the newer logo from the official campaign, I strongly encourage you to do so. It's just my opinion, but I think we need as many people as possible working to get Ron Paul's name out in front of the general public. And we need to do it as soon as possible!

Thanks for your offer, but my question is: why are we promoting the failed 2008 logo (that looked exactly like McCain's failed logo) instead of the new uniquely Ron Paul logo? Clearly someone is printing up revised 2008 logos. Could we get that person to print up actual 2012 logos instead?

It doesn't make sense for us to keep helping to buy the wrong bumper stickers when we could instead be helping you by the right bumper stickers.

These bumper stickers are being supplied by www.RonPaulProducts.com. The site is actually run by a RPF member, Curt (po14015). I don't know Curt personally, and I have absolutely no financial stake in his website, just to be clear. That being said, Curt's products and customer service have been extraordinary while providing the bumper stickers and Ron Paul lapel stickers that Jack (ForLibertyFight) has been mailing out.

In addition to the outstanding service, I've been ordering from Curt because the stickers (including magnetic ones) are much cheaper than those available from the official campaign store.

Last, and not insignificantly, purchases from the campaign store count as a political donation to the Ron Paul campaign. This muddies the water quite a bit when it comes to one person buying the materials but trying to get them sent to a second party who is mailing them out in turn to Ron Paul supporters. (Leave it to the FEC to booger that one up!)

But to address your basic question about the logo, I can only direct you to Curt at RonPaulProducts.com. I don't know if the new logo currently being used by the campaign is copyrighted, but I do know it doesn't seem to be available anywhere else, especially at the prices available at Curt's web store.

Article V, I hope this clarifies things a bit, and I hope I haven't come across as being grumpy or confrontational; I'm just trying to explain the circumstances behind the decision to distribute these particular stickers.....

Who do you mail though?

Who do you mail though?

I'm not entirely sure what you're asking, but if you would like a free Ron Paul 2012 bumper sticker and some other Ron Paul goodies, just send a PM to ForLibertyFight (the OP of this thread!) and he'll get you set up.

If you're asking who handles the mail, it's the USPS.

 

[rawky]

I have PM'd ForLibertyFight, and I am looking forward to my RP items! I will display them proudly.
I will also donate $ and send stamps if need be!

This is a very good cause.

 

[ForLibertyFight]

This is a very good cause.

Could you advertise it on NH, IA, SC, and NV for Ron Paul pages on Facebook? I'd like to almost all of the supplies to the early primary states.

 

[ForLibertyFight]

2 packages sent to Ireland and Canada.

The price of bumper stickers is dependent on volume. People buy the old 2008 design. And I know why. You can see it. The new design is hard to see from a distance or while moving.

I started RonPaulProducts.com in March, 2011. Long before many thought he was running. There was no design to use. So I used the design from 2008 because it was the one people have started to associate with Ron Paul, and people bought over 400,000 of the 2008 design.

And, yes I do not know if there is a copyright on the Campaign's images. I have actually gotten a lot of emails saying they like the old design, and it was one of the reason they were buying. I encourage everyone to let me know what they think.

I think most of this is a non-issue. The fact is that you can make your own signs and bumper stickers, and I think you could have the same effect. Where people need to be spending their energy is on their Precinct and in helping IA, NH, and SC. This is where in a Primary the most bang for the buck goes.

Of course the number one reason people buy from RonPaulProducts.com is the PRICE. Bumper stickers are as low as $.17 and start at just $.99 for one. These prices are basically Paypal fees, packaging, and a small percentage to protect from chargebacks/returns. I let you keep the profits and do what you want with it. I don't want a gimmick where I promise to donate a small percentage of profit so I could keep a bigger part of the profit.

I am always open to ideas. And have posted multiple times on many different sites for designs.

In Liberty,

Curt

Instead of starting another chip in thread for this (which was my intitial plan). I asked a couple of Mods to promote this to the front page. I also want to ask your permission if I can start a similar thread on the Daily Paul? Or have you done that already?


EDIT: It's been promoted!!! Thanks Nikki!!
