[MsDoodahs]

Would SOMEBODY DO SOMETHING

Yes. Yes, I will.

 

[Cyclone]

Tanstaafl. Thanks so much. That is amazing of you. Come on people, dig deep, till it burns. Go look in the sofa cushions. They need 3500 more to make the bare minimum. Must have money tonight.

Desperate. Need help from grass roots. Please. help. us.

 

[Cyclone]

These are ads for Iowa folks. This is a good deal. You can watch them at www.operationnh.com if you like.

 

[American]

When is the official campaign going to run ads?

time is running out and I hope something is getting done, maybe the official campaign should hire some grassroots supporters to make this happen.

I'm done donating unless something magnificent happens, and I cant even think what that would be.

 

[saahmed]

There are 13 days left for Iowa. Donate as much as you can. These ads are vitally important because the campaign has neglected to do a lot of TV ads. They are doing the infomercials which I read somewhere on these forums will be on the major networks around the noon hour, so they will be effective, but TV ads are also necessary.

 

[MsDoodahs]

Chipped in $500.

 

[Ron Paul Fan]

Good work Ms! Thank you! We need more ads for Iowa! It's imperative that we spread the word in the last couple weeks and get as many people as we can to the caucus! I know people are also giving to the blimp, but we NEED these ads to go on the air! Ron Paul is known for blitzing ads right before the election so I anticipate his new ad will starting airing here soon. OperationNH or die!!!!!!!

Donated $25.00 Can you get the deadline extended one day and make another appeal for funds? I think you're at around $11,700 now.

 

[RlxdN10sity]

I agree. All of the JBlack ads are excellent, clear, concise and relative. I will be getting paid tomorrow and will hit the chip in w/ at least $100.00 bucks. I would love to do more and may be able to. I think we should open discussion on a "moneybomb" for all the important grass roots efforts that are occurring outside of the official camp. I think HQ has enough to hold them over for a bit. It seems to be a recurring theme that many feel HQ is incompetent. I am not personally in touch w/ HQ in any way and have no reference for thier degree of competency but I have seen some HQ ads and find them wanting, especially when compared to JBlack's ads. I realize that buying airtime is very time sensitive, organizing a "moneybomb" on the earliest buys will likely be ineffective. We should move out through the web like we do when promoting "moneybombs" and post links to OperationNH and urge donations ASAP for the early buys and then organize "moneybombs" for the worthy causes that there is time to organize for. I think with the kind of donating power we have already demonstrated we could max out all of the worthy projects budgets in a single concentrated day of donations. We need to "moneybomb" ourselves. Many of these people have somehow managed to sacrifice far beyond what any of us are capable of in talent and resources that we simply do not have at our disposal such as quitting jobs at Google, riding across the country, migrating to Iowa and NH to volunteer canvass, video production equipment and actor friends that participate in ads for free, and on and on and on. The least we can do is donate some fiat currency to support these worthy efforts that in the minds of many are better managed and have greater positive impact than the efforts of HQ. Lets get it done people. We have this in our capacity.

I'll be chipping in for this as soon as my cheque for this week goes through. Living pretty tight here.

Please donate folks even if it $10 or $20. These ads are brilliant and will definately win votes.

Sheduled airtimes for Iowa Ads *already* bought by AUF PAC

Maybe someone can do some cross posting to other theads here on ronpaulforums and stir up a few more donations? We appear to be a couple thousand dollars shy is all for Iowa.

BTW, I apologise if I am offending anyone by appearing to come across as a hot head. But, as with most of you, I feel pretty near *everything* is on the line here. Failing due to lack of trying, or permitting bureaucratic bungling to go unchallenged, is not much of an option. I was preparing to move out of the States before Ron Paul gave me some hope. We can win. We must win. One of us is worth 100 or 1000 of the average supporter of another candidate. And we have the facts and the logic on our side. We just need to execute with high fidelity. Anyway, thanks all for putting up with my big mouth. I care deeply.

Grassroots moneybomb *great* idea. But it needs credibility

No one wants to do a grassroots money bomb. That's the only way we're going to fund these ads. And yes it's probably to late to do in Iowa and NH, but we could still blast MI, SC, and NV. What's wrong with this idea?

It is pretty confusing trying to sort out the numerous, numerous PACs and shops and blogs pitching in.

And it is a little scary donating to an unknown or little known PAC, wondering if they are for real or just a good con.

It would be really cool if there were a "tree" of organizations with some rating system.

For grassroots money bombs it would be good if ONE site would orchestrate and vet the whole thing and people with credibility, such as Trevor or this Jeremiah Black, would speak up and at least let us know which donation requests appear to be most urgent and credible.

Of course, almost none of this would be urgent if HQ wasn't AWOL; but doing their job and answering reasonable questions from *known* donors.
