RADIO ADS: ANTE UP NOW! - lets do this!

I'm sorry, there's 19 pages to sift through!

What is the status of this project and is money still desired?

And what is the procedure for doing so?

THX!

I just sent 50.00 for the radio ads:) . What is the total up to now?
 
Don't know. Lord Xar has the total and it looks like he's off for the rest of the night.

Thanks for helping out though.
 
Bump

Josh could we sticky the Newspaper and Radio ad threads, or maybe get a new one combining the two that we can sticky?
 
There's so much to mention, but if I could stress a few things

Stay away from anything that could potentially turn people off immediately!! (hemp, abortion, gun control). Theres a ton of people who disagree with Ron in these areas (ie, they support a woman's right to choose, gun control because of events like VA Tech, Columbine) however they still support him because of his overall message, on "bigger issues."

Obviously, the bigger issues are he is the only republican against the war in Iraq, his reputation as "taxpayers best friend", and his protecting our boarders, not Iraq's. It might be nice to mention that as the only medical doctor in the running, Dr. Paul knows about the problems with our health care system more than anyone (no need to mention his position here, just mentioning this should spark interest.)
 
Just an aside... I emailed Justine at the National Campaign and asked if they were doing any radio and newspaper ads... she wrote me back last night and said, yes, they were doing that right now.

I'm a meetup organizer and during one conference call with HQ, it was asked about grassroots doing this type of thing... HQ said they'd rather do the buys since they can control the quality of the ads.

Maybe whomever is doing this could email Justine and ask her if HQ have any suggestions for content.

My 2cents.

The only problem with doing that is if we involve them, then it's my understanding that the FEC rules kick in and they will have to report the dollars collected for this effort as campaign contributions. Is that your understanding?
 
WE (Xar) need to do these ads regardless. We know how HQ works. (Mot saying anything bad -- they're just understaffed and need this grassroots campaign to do the yeoman's work.) However, assuming they will be doing a general info ad with positions and bio stuff, maybe we should just do the Reagan Medal of Honor ad.
 
I didn't know that about the FEC rule. I wasn't saying we shouldn't do it, I've already donated towards it. I think it's a great idea...
 
I like it alot!

I like it alot...

with a hard hitting ad like that and so few words to make the point....

it leaves ALOT of "field" (blank area) in a half or quarter page ad.....

surrounding a single thought with 75% field is THE most effective ad tool

in visual media...bar none (well maybe except for subliminal sex:cool: )

I used "part" of his quote, I took out the reference to money, but used it as a "footer" to the ad..
