Young Voters for Ron Paul TV Ads!

I think just running a youtube video with some text after it would be a great commerical. There are some really good videos on there. It also shows people that dont know about Ron Paul is that he has passionate supporters and that he does not run "fake" focus group ads. Plus I think it would be cheap.
 
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the street team idea. If I had a good camera I would try something like that myself.
 
I totally disagree with this..... as I've mentioned in my response to your previous thread about the same topic, people should donate directly to the Ron Paul campaign where they will hire professionals to run professional TV ads...

to me this looks more like a money grab and a diversion....just my personal opinion

Individuals can contribute a maximum of $2300. If people want to spend more on this, they should feel free, and this is uncapped.
 
boobs for Ron Paul

Great ideas here. I haven't looked at all the post, but I am thinking that we shouldn't care about Washington DC. We need to go after votes that matter. We aren't going to get anywhere with DC's elite. They already know ALL about Paul.

We need to target places where we can get votes....remember the voting machines aren't going to let Paul win anyways, but I am a pessimist. We need enough votes for the voting machines to not matter.

OHIO, midwest, California....anywhere but Washington DC. How about Seattle? How would I know, I'm in Korea, but DC seems to me to be really useless.

I think a great Ron Paul commercial would include video clips of some of his speeches before Congress where he forcefully opposed the war in Iraq, the patriot act, etc.. with the dates of those speeches prominently displayed.

A good old song that would complement this video is Show me the Way by Styxx. I think that was released in 1990.

You need to tell people ABOUT Ron Paul. Not just tell people to go to his website and look at his record. You should also have a website setup for the commercial so people can easily go and look up information about him.

Yes, biographical ads are necessary and usually the first ones campaigns put up.

But by using a 527 group we are allowed to donate unlimited sums of money. If we donate to Paul directly we are limited to 2,300 during the primary, and then another 2300 for the presidency.
 
Revolution9's idea is great.. Also, the sound track is VERY important. Sorry, I don't know what the 1812 overture is - I guess I don't get out enough :p - but the music has to be VERY patriotic - and it must appeal to young people.

If some type of Street Team thing goes on in the Palm Beach Florida area, I'm in...
 
I'm a big fan of Rachel's work, but I really don't like this one. There's really no shock value here...much to tame. The acting is a little bit cheese too.

I think she needs to find someone with some camera experiance too. The lighting and such are really bad on all her videos. Possibly she could contact the film department of a local college and arrage something more professional for free.

Good thing it's a rough draft.

I love the street team idea. Or Rachel's ad could work, if it was part of a series of ads shot in similar "webcam" style, of different people. The youtube look speaks well to 18-25 year olds, it's cheap, and we can impart information. I would say enhance it with written text for key points. Like when she says he has a great record, give us a 5 second white text on black background explaining his record.

"never broken a campaign promise in 20 years in Congress"

that sort of thing.

Both could be effective.

1812 Part 2

Start at 3:45 in part 2 to get the full effect of what "it" is.... and it really hits at 5:07, usually with Canons going off... but not in this one...

On the contrary to the response before yours - I think the "cheap" home-made video/commercial will attract attention because it's different - and REALLY open the eyes of those who ARE familiar with the internet.

I think it would be better to see a commercial performed by COMPLETE non-professionals. This is only a first draft and while it can be improved - I think it's a great idea to go with this "home made" approach to see where it brings us. Has it been done before? If it doesn't work, then we'll just pull our money together and try something else. I have no problem contributing. I'll contribute twice if I have to. Let's keep the commercial "non-corporate" looking. So older people can see exactly what their children think and be surprised by how they're compelled enough to do something like this..
