Darn it, I wanna see it!
I can't load it.![]()
The ronpaul.cc link for the ad is down, anyone have a mirror?
Making files changes. Please be patient.
Thank you!
And to quote Blitzer: AMAZING, simply AMAZING![]()
Mmmuuuuu Waaaa Haaaa Haaaaaa........
Hey other bought and paid for and lame candidates, how do you like these apples....?
It's like a nightmare isn't it? And it just keeps getting worse.
OK,
First, thanks to Mark, John Barr, Linda Lagana, Bryan, Brad Tirpak, Suzu, LibertyEagle, Anti-Federalist, Lucid American, LSUilike, Nathan Yao, and others whose names I have forgotten. Thank you to everyone for your contributions. Smart people on these forums.
Let me just say that I could never write a letter of this quality on my own. Never. This is a testament to the this "open source" campaign model. Lot's of bright people makes for a better advertisement than any one individual could ever produce.
Now, here is the good part:
This advertisment is going to run as a full page in The New York Times.
It will be in the News section. I do not know the date. In order to keep the cost affordable they have the option on the date. The range is Dec. 24th to Dec. 29th.
It is also going to run in all of the major New Hampshire papers on Friday, Dec. 28th.
The advertisement is a cleaned up version of the piece I wrote for Lew Rockwell explaining why I spent $85 K on the USA Today advertisement.
It is full page, six columns, about 3000 words. with bolds and set outs.
Here is the link courtesy of Mark.

The best way to view it is to print it out in 4 piece tile and then tape them together so you get the effect of full size.

This is it folks. We need traction now, it's now or never.
You cannot say we are not trying. Let's spread this thing as far and wide as we can.
Also, let's use key buzzwords in talking about this:
Political Campaign 2.0
Open source web based campaign message development model
Internet is the Gutenberg press of our day.
The tide has turned.
RP support is spreading like a wildfire.
President Ron Paul. You gotta believe.
Compare this argument to Thomas Paine's Common Sense.
Citizen's revolt.
Others?

Anyway, I need to rest now. I will probably not be on the forums much for the next few weeks.
God bless you all and god bless Dr. Paul and this message. It's in his hands now.
I wish I could see the other candidates as they read this.
I am reminded of the old rolling stones song off the black and blue album.
"The hand of fate is on us now..."
This is my best effort, I don't think I can do much more.
I think you do the message some disservice by appropriating your "subjective" views over the complexities of the issues in their entirety. If I were to proof read this, I'd advise revising some of the "preachy" content in favor of extrapolating some of the issues which demand more scrutiny.
Nevertheless, the sincerity and the dedication oozes from this ad. Kudos.
Fair point. But keep in mind that it is a sales document.
Also, the message is good. People can blame me for the preachyness.
Dr. Paul would not say some of these things, but I can and should. Americans think in these terms. Or at least many of them do.
What'cha got. I am all ears.
Does anyone know how to contact Russert or his people. We should let them know it is coming. Maybe it gets mentioned this Sunday.
