After weeks of planning and $3000 in donations working through AdamT and friends with RevPAC, three digital billboards in Des Moines will be displaying a series of different Ron Paul ads running from now through and including January 3rd.
They are a thing of beauty! The ads display approximately every (Edit: 47) seconds for 8 seconds each. Also running is one that says Cut $1 Trillion in Year One. More texts will be displayed in the coming days.
It all started here : http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showth...ard-Series-Fundraising-Thread-Des-Moines-Iowa
The billboards are located across from Merle Hay Mall, one of the busiest in the state, and along I-80 and I-235 as you enter Des Moines. I'll be taking some better daytime pics of all three locations tomorrow.
Press release goes out tomorrow, hope we get some additional coverage from that!
Thanks to all the donors and everyone that helped make them possible. Let's win Iowa!

As you can see below, these billboards are easily visible from perhaps 1/4 mile away. The design pops off the landscape.
I tried to get pics for along the interstate for those on I-80 and I-235, but a State Trooper kindly moved me on my way before I could get a shot. So I got creative with my zoom lens, talked to the Clear Channel billboard guys who happened to be on the access road, and the let me down to get a pic of one of them. The other one worked out well from the overpass, showing the traffic along the interstate.
Again, there are three of these billboards running simultaneously.
Please ignore the color issues, that is just a result of the digital display interacting with the camera. They are all running perfectly!!
