Ron Paul Newspaper

[frasu]

Grassroots initiative from Alabama... This could be awesome for canvasing:


Press Release
January 24, 2008

My name is Crystal Broyles and I am a 22 year-old diehard, freedom loving, liberty craving, Ron Paul for President supporter. I have been working to rally the grassroots troops in an 11th hour campaign effort. What we are wanting to do is print a Ron Paul newspaper to be tossed on driveways in Super Tuesday states. If the media will not give Dr. Paul the coverage he deserves, let's get him that coverage!

Since the media will not allow us to reach people from their TV sets, let's reach them from their driveways and door steps. We all have been working very hard canvassing neighborhoods with literature about Dr. Paul. And that is fabulous. The information we were handing out however, did not have printed information about when to go and vote and the information was limited. People were encouraged to go to RonPaul2008.com and read more about him. However, in the day and age we live in, time is limited and when we are looking for information we want it now, we don't want to have to read something in our hands and then go to our computers and do more research.

Solution: I have taken all the information about where Dr. Paul stands on issues from RonPaul2008.com and laid it out into a newspaper format. If we can get these on most of the driveways in the 24 states which vote on the 5th we can win. The 'newspaper' boldly tells people to vote on Tuesday, February 5th and then it outlines who Dr. Paul is, where he stands on issues and also features some articles he has written and the article written by Mrs. Paul about 'The American Dream'.

I have a printer on standby in Cullman, Alabama. I have lived in North Alabama for about eight years and my parents have owned a small historical publishing company since 2001. As a result, we have used a lot of printers (all over the country) and have found Alabama Web Press to be very efficient and affordable. I have called them, they are on standby and can print 100,000 copies for $6,000. And of course, each 100,000 after that will be less than $6k – the higher the volume the larger the printing discount.

This is our nation! It's time we take it back!

Constitutionalists are endorsing Dr. Paul -- can you either make an official 'donation' or let your members know about this monumental newspaper and collect individual donations from people? Please make all checks out to Alabama Web Press.

[sharpsteve2003]

I think this is one damn good idea! now this is one i could get behind. Maybe meetup groups could really get behind this and get them all over the country.

[frasu]

web printers would be the best for this I guess... anybody knows some good priced web printers?

[nc4rp]

good idea. its faster even to throw a newspaper into a driveway than to hang a slimjim from a mailbox. a littlemore expensive id think.

[frasu]

exposure

[thomaseusin]

bump! Can someone setup a chipin to speed up the cause?

[Vvick727]

oho, yeah this is exciting. lets get this off the ground

[frasu]

until they put together the website email Crystal V Broyles
Crystal.broyles@gmail.com

[frasu]

bump for good idea...

[frasu]

I will keep this bumped... many people could use this for canvasing over the weekend or talk about this in meet-ups

[jblosser]

This can't take the place of face to face conversations obviously but it's a good idea for final GOTV, if distribution doesn't take a lot of people time.

[syborius]

actually, this is a great idea, but it should be done with similar paper. Make the look and feel as genuine as possible. Put in articles about liberty. It should have multiple pages by different authors regarding the erosion of our liberties, the declining dollar, "FACTS" about the war, and Ron Pauls platform and plan. If executed correctly this could have a huge impact.

[frasu]

maybe we could get the pdf file or some jpgs of the look of the newspaper as is printed now in Alabama... I heard they use newsprint paper, lower cost and looks like a real newspaper, but all abotu Dr. Paul :))

[Phantom]

Bump!!!!!!

[frasu]

more bump

[frasu]

a new day, a new bump
last bump actually... looks like people don't fancy this idea

[constituent]

wow. crystal broyles rocks

[govtpigII]

I think this would really help out getting the message to the older generation.

Roll Tide!

Possibly The Idaho Observer might print up a "special edition" using their existing supply chain?

The last real newspaper in America.

[thegr8drronpaul]

Not sure exactly how this is going to work (they're printing in AL, but will be sent to meetups everywhere?)

But yes, great idea bump.

But yes, great idea bump.

I would think they could print out a paper once a week like the sunday Pittsburgh press does. But I would have other news than Ron Paul in it. Things that are affecting our country that Ron Paul stands against stories. Like our economy,the war,guns and negative stories of other candidates. Something for everyone while exposing Ron Paul to the country.

The Idaho Observer is a weekly newspaper. It prints the truth and covers the "rest of the story". It is already doing everything we need in this thread. Let's simply either distribute the Idaho Observer or ask them to create a special edition for the grassroots. There may be FEC regs to contend with....

[LynnB]

I like this idea..

[dirknb@hotmail.com]

Great idea.

[wowabunga]

I'd like to brief stories... and links to the web where they can read more. For example the 10 most corrupt politicians...

Big AL ABAMA Bump!

[LiveFreeorDie]

What a great idea.

[magicmike]

This is already in the pipeline, Crystal has been contacted and there is a well thought out plan to get this nation wide.

I can not give all the details right now, but this is going to be very very big.

Here is a glimpse into how it started.

People that have shown that they are able to organize and get projects moving are being privately contacted right now. Please keep discussing ideas here, this will be a good place to observe which directions we need to take.

reBUMP

use this newspaper idea, email crystal and see if you could get some deals to print the newspaper near you

[magicmike]

frasu please take a look at the link in my post,

[magicmike]

We are at the last second here, need support!

Go to www.ronpaulnewspaper.com

If we want our own media we need to at least prove we can afford a .06 cent newspaper!

The last real newspaper in America.

It is also the last newspaper I would consider,
David Icke and his group got in there and his agenda is too fanatical for mainstream.

We are looking at "Hard source" news, things that are in the open and you would be a fool to deny them. Like the petro dollar well explained can sway a lot of opinion.

[CrystalBroyles]

Hi there, I'm Crystal Broyles and most of you know I created the Ron
Paul Newspaper. Matter of fact, most of you donated to help with the
printing costs for either the Super Tuesday Edition or the Texas Edition
of the newspaper. When I created the Ron Paul Newspaper, I really had
no idea of the potential scope and power of a mainstream libertarian news
source and the impact it would have on our nation and the way the world
views us. Through the creation of the Ron Paul Newspaper, I feel destiny
has knocked on my door as I have been shown a new way, The Face of The
New Media.

These past months, the cloak of 'conservative' news has been pulled from
our eyes as we watched Fox News—among many—repeatedly deny Dr.
Paul and his supporters air time. Furthermore, when Fox News did cover
Dr. Ron Paul, it was only so they could portray him as a far right nut. People
have called for a boycott of the Fox News network and its sponsors; we
have had enough. But where does that leave us? We were Fox News
watchers because we knew the other media outlets were leftist,
propaganda generating, liberal networks. Where do we now turn for news?

Why are we looking to turn? Instead of looking beyond, why not look
within? The Ron Paul Revolution has not only started a grassroots revolt,
it has networked a multitude of like-minded, brilliant and creative individuals.

Soon after the formation of the Ron Paul Newspaper, it became apparent
to me this was not going to be a one-time print run for Super Tuesday.
Almost daily, I receive emails from people all over the United States (and
even world), asking me to not stop. People are enthralled and want me to
not only keep printing but further develop the newspaper. Writers contact
me. Editors contact me. Designers contact me. Web developers contact
me. Talented people from our own movement have come to me wanting to
know how they can be involved.

Launching a new media is a massive undertaking; one which can be led
in various directions. However, I have received many suggestions and done
a lot of research into current media trends and now have a clear vision for
a Liberty based media. To give us a supercharged revolt of a birth, we
undeniably need your sponsorships.

With funding we can create and launch an online newspaper/blog/media
outlet with Pod Casts, videos and even online syndicated radio. However
we need funding to:
A) Develop the online interface by which this media outlet will function.
B) Secure top notch, liberty-minded journalists/writers.
C) Build a small, yet highly capable team of editors and marketers.

The printed Ron Paul Newspaper has been distributed to almost 200,000
people and we've only printed twice. Just think of what we can accomplish
if we are a fully syndicated online news outlet. I envision the creation of a
site similar to the Huffingtonpost.com, yet liberty centered. If this sounds
like the media you've been looking for, please do not hesitate -- contribute
to this new initiative.

Hello, this is Crystal Broyles, and I created the uniquely independent Ron Paul
Newspaper. I have been so busy with The Ron Paul Newspaper project that I
had no time to sign up for an account on here and then it took forever for my
account to be activated so I am just now really delving into all the posts that
have been published about the RP Newspaper project. MagicMike, I really want
to thank you for making sure the forums were updated about the project. I really
appreciate that you contacted me and then made sure you kept the people on the
forums up-to-date at a time when I was just too swamped. I do want to make
something clear: Yes, it is true I have been contacted by MagicMike about a
nationwide newspaper; however we have not made any formal alliances. As I am
reading the forums, it really looks like we are part of the same project. When I
launched The Ron Paul Newspaper it was an independent project, created by me
for all of us. Through the creation of The Ron Paul Newspaper, I have become
friends with Mike however, there were no outside influences involved in my creation
catalyst.

I knew fairly quickly, The Ron Paul Newspaper was not going to be a drop in the
bucket. But this effort would continue on many levels.

So! For those of you who are interested, after much thought and consideration and
A LOT of emails/phone calls etc, I have decided to take the newspaper in totally
broad scope and will be creating an online newspaper with a blog feel. Right now
the project is being called: “The Face of The New Media” We are totally at the
ground level working on funding right now. A website will be launched soon detailing
the purpose of the project. If you are interested in being involved or helping fund it,
please send me an email.

Hey Guys! We are raising funds for NC and some other states to have
newspapers. Please go to www.RonPaulNewspaper.com and contribute.

Also...why don't we print a few million of these and have widespread
distribution and sway as many delegates as we can?

Let me know what you guys think.

Some people thought a blimp would speak to GOP voters...:rolleyes:

[Charles Wilson]

Some people thought a blimp would speak to GOP voters...:rolleyes:

Whether you believe it or not, the blimp gave Ron Paul publicity and credibility that he needed to get his message out. The Ron Paul Newspaper will do the same thing. I appeal to every Ron Paul supporter to participate in this effort. Every person we reach with the Ron Paul message gets us closer to our goal of returning this country to its Constitutional roots. If it was easy we would not need a Ron Paul Revolution now would we?

If you value your freedom, get on board!

BTW: I just donated another 100.00 dollars.

[CrystalBroyles]

Revolutionaries,

This is an updated letter I am now trying to
get out to the masses. Have a look and let's
do this!

------->>>>>

I am contacting you because we are working
on raising funds to print papers for the states
which are yet to vote. In NC we have a strong
chance of a RP victory. The delegates of NC
have to declare before the primary who they
are voting for and the stance of the delegates
is that they will be voting for Ron Paul. If the
state primary can also go to Dr. Paul, then it
would send shock waves across our Nation.

We want to get as many papers out in NC
as funds will allow.

Another project we would like to work on, is
general nation-wide distribution of the paper.
If the funding will not come together for that,
then we will only send papers to GOP delegates.
Just as the American people need to know
we still have a choice, delegates need to
know they can vote for someone other than
McCain and that someone is indeed Ron Paul.

To do this, however, we need platform exposure.
And the easiest way/most efficient way of sharing
it truly is through the Ron Paul Newspaper. His
entire platform is attractively laid out in newspaper
format, in one single location, no clicking, no
searching; it's all right there. People love it.

I am emailing you, to ask you for your support.
Printing newspapers is cheap, so your money
will go a long way.

Here are some printing prices:
5,000 - $600.00
12,000 - $900.00
25,000 - $1,850.00
50,000 - $2,750.00
100,000 - $4,600.00

Would you please sponsor some newspaper
production? As you can see, your dollar truly
will go a long way.
