Regardless of what we have, we have to move forward. I can't sit on peoples monies hoping to get the perfect amount. We just have to move forward and hope for the best.

The newspaper ad is done and looking good and ready to go.

The radio ad is still moving along and will be pushed forward regardless of the money received.

I don't want to answer specifics.. once the ad is run, I will disclose all info. I just don't want to make things to public. I am sure you understand.

What is odd is, its more than what I thought we'd get but less than what I was hoping once things got rolling.. hahha. I think I got a little spoiled those first 2 days :-)

If I had one more desire, it would be to put the focus on radio (30 or 60) instead of newspaper. Newspaper ads are very very expensive and are one-shot wonders. You can probably do five radio ads for the price of a full page one time newspaper ad. If this has been stated already, I apologize. Just needs to be reiterated as important.

Yes, radio ads are economically more feasible and we could get probably about 7 or 8 radios ads per for what we will put into the newspaper ads.

But, the fact is people donated with "newspaper" in the subject so I have to put their monies towards that.

I also feel that newspaper ads are valid, else businesses would never do them.

There is a trade off.. trying to say in 60 seconds what a newspaper can give in 4 minutes... so, we have to determine if the tradeoff is worth it.

More is going towards Radio, BUT please understand that all of this is expensive and though people HAVE ante'd up to a great degree --- keep in mind that we are not gonna make a HUGE impact with flooding radio ads.. we just don't have enough money for a whole day.. you know, one ad a day on WHO is cool - but there isn't alot of coverage if they put our slot in a time that isn't cool.. you know what i mean..

so, if we had 10k or higher.... dang.. we'd be golden.

Lord Xar, maybe you can ask ladyjade3 to make a youtube video about your project. Maybe that would help. There's also the Daily Paul blog. Maybe they would mention your project? Anyway, keep up the great work!
:D :D :D :D :D :D :D

thanks, I contacted that daily blog yesterday, not sure if they put it up..

thanks.
 
Lord Xar,

Have you joined meetup group #560 yet? It is the meetup group for the conference call. It is made up of mostly other meetup leaders. If you join that group then you could send them a group email detailing your projects and you might even get to your $10,000 mark.

http://ronpaul.meetup.com/560/

Also what is your first name. When I talk to people about donating to you, it is weird to say his name is "Lord Xar" :)

--Dustan

P.S. Also don't forget the meetup.com Ron Paul Message board and the ronpaulnation.com message board.

My name is "DEAN"

I joined the group and tried to email the organizer BUT it says that mails are being undeliverable to him, and to try back in a couple of days???

"We're sorry. Unfortunately our recent emails to this member have been returned as "undeliverable". Hopefully this member will resolve the problem soon -- check back in a few days.
"


SO, if you can contact them for me.. refer them to this POST and my email to paypal.

I have been in contact with JEN in Iowa - so they can verify I am legit...

Thanks

I agree 110%. If individuals wish to have their funds allocated that way, that is the way to go. However, I want to make sure that all info is out there when it comes to getting the most for the money.

I am glad you mention this. They work when they are done in repetition. Much like direct mail, you have to hit someone seven times to have much effect. Seven newspaper ads, full page, would be astronomical in cost. Seven radio ads, while still nothing to sneeze at price wise, is much more feasible. Another point is that businesses that are actually successful with newspaper ads are generally displaying dozens, yes DOZENS, of times. It is a major business expense. Businesses that advertise one or a few times generally do not see results that come close to the cost of the ads.

In radio, you're guaranteed a 60 second listen most of the time. If the ad in the newspaper appears in a section not always read, it could be a 0 second viewing. If the radio ads are targeted, it is even better.

You probably don't want to blitz for one day. You may wish to spread out along 3-4 days if possible - during the highest penetration time. Of course this depends on how much you've raised.

How much do you have so far? This will help those of us on the sidelines that are willing to help get this project moving.

Time is runnin' short and we need to make a move to ensure we get decent spots.

Keep up all the great work and motivation to get people donating to this great cause.

I'm sorry, but if you want to help, why are you waiting? Lord Xar has almost single-handedly done this whole thing by himself. He has pulled in the necessary people to layout the newspaper ad, has written the copy and has researched and contacted the newspapers. And that is JUST the newspaper. He has gone through the whole procedure AGAIN with the radio ad.

So please, if you want to support this effort.... DO IT NOW. And don't just look for him to do the motivation to get others to donate, you join in yourself!

The finishing touches are being put on everything right now. As soon as that is completed, he will have to move and move fast.

Yes, in a perfect world, this whole effort would have been started long ago, so we would just be gliding into home plate right now. But, that is not what happened and luckily, Xar stepped up to the plate and took it on.

So again, everyone please donate to this effort now, if you can.
 
Yes, that's the right PayPal account. Do you think it might be helpful if we started a new thread with just the information on the 2 ads, directions for contributing financially and then ask Josh to lock the thread and move it to a sticky?

On second thought, that won't work. Remember we sent out all those notices to the Meetup group organizers with the links to those 2 threads?
 
We should set up a website for the PAC. If we knew its name, that is. I could do it on blogspot or some other free site unless Xar or you, LibertyEagle, want to do it. Probably not worth registering a domain over, is it? I have hosting space and can do a basic site, but there are more apt techies than me hanging around this board.
