View Full Version : Official Campaign Radio Commercial Airing in Iowa!
As I was driving down to Fairfield last night I heard PART of the brand-new Ron Paul commercial from HQ. It was great! RP himself speaks in part of it "I'm Fed up Too" seems to be the theme. Another voice highlights a bunch of items like you see on the slim jims. Of course, the focus is Ames.
The commercial really stood out from the rest to me because I didn't hear any background music. The message really seemed to come through very directly with no distractions - just like Ron Paul. I was pounding on the steering wheel!
Another RP buddy heard the commercial on another station on his way down from Cedar Rapids. I don't know if someone can go find the audio for this somehow but I wanted you to know it's on the air!
I heard that TV commercials start airing here today, too!

It's all coming together everyone. No more complaints about headquarter not doing anything. Now we have to make the effort to pull this off.

It should be on the HQ website. If not now, then it will be pretty soon. I think there's a TV one coming out as well.
Edited to say that the TV ad will be on YouTube.

No. That's the one done by the grassroots.

check out their schedule for this week in Iowa. They must be busier than a one-legged man in a butt kicking contest.
Wish someone would record the ad and play it for us. ;)
I just got back from the event in Wellsburg, IA and on the way up there I heard ANOTHER Ron Paul commercial! I'm pretty sure this was from the official campaign but it was NOT the one I heard going to Fairfield last night.
This one talked about bin Laden and letters of marque and reprisal. It talked about the no-win war and that m&r would allow us to find terrorists without wider wars. It went on into the Christian 'just war' principle. It finished, of course, with info on Ames, the web address, and Hope for America, etc.
No music, again, which I think makes these ads rather direct, unique, and effective.

this is good, between HQ ads, our ads... we are covering things pretty good.. and from what I understand, he isn't talking about illegal immigration in his ads (which he should), but at least we cover that in ours....

I heard yours two more times on the way to Wellsburg and back on WHO and WOW. Still love it. I go down the road switching between these channels looking FOR commercials - how backward is that?
It seem like the HQ one I heard last night included the illegal immigration issue.

Dave what have the crowds been like for Ron's events so far? Obviously they're not going to be as big as the ones planned a week or two in advance, but I'm just curious as to how the reception to Ron's message has been so far?

Come on, ppl! At least give us the website of a local Iowa station so we can attempt to grab it!

We should purchase more radio time(grassroots) im all for it ( money of course) if someone wants to find some stations and get more air time.

We could have a last week push for the Straw Poll

WHO and WOW are the stations we advertised on, I believe. Check with Lord Xar if you're interested in funding more ads.

I find this ironic. Considering just how many zillions of audio and video clips are currently released by the Paul campaign and independently over the web, its strange that the OFFICIAL ads in Iowa are currently unavailable on the web.

Yes! I've been waiting for the campaign to put our money to good use :) Glad they're on top of this!
Remember, investments now are for the straw poll and the caucus

WHO is VERY VERY expensive this week because of the Fair.. its tier 1 pricing...

We can get on WOW fm 98.3 as we have ads on there too!

I am still looking for a National Campaign sound clip of their Radio Spot Ad.....
Has anybody got a link?
Has anybody/Moderator contacted HQ National to either get the clip or find out the Iowa stations they have contracted with?
anybody?
thanks ahead!

I think we have two different campaigns going lol Ron Paul's and the grassroots. I like how it's decentralized somewhat, it's fitting for his stance on state's rights

They have to be separate because of McCain-Feingold. What's more, the campaign has said they would like us to do more! They aren't going to direct us. They can't.

An "IOWA DAVE" post: (from today Aug. 7)
If you can't get to Iowa and you're not busy calling Iowans, then you can get a feel for things here listening online to
Newsradio 1040 WHO from 9 to 11:30 AM CDT and from 4-7 PM CDT for the 'local' talk shows.
http://www.whoradio.com/main.html (http://www.whoradio.com/main.html)
Also
WOW 98.3 from about 1:20 to 3:40 is local talk.
http://www.983wowfm.com/ (http://www.983wowfm.com/)
Most of the talk right now is about the race. You might even get to hear the Ron Paul commercials!
Don't forget to tune in to WHO radio Thursday at 9 AM CDT to hear Ron Paul be interviewed live at the Iowa State Fair by Jan Mickelson. Maybe you'll hear a Ron Paul commercial, too.

It doesn't work for me, perhaps someone here can get to work on their computer and convert it to youtube.

Okay, if there's one key weakness with the Paul campaign (be it the "official" campaign or the grassroots campaign), that weakness is horrible taste in music. Sure, the song in the ad isn't nearly as bad as "If You Google Ron Paul", it's still a pretty poor choice.
It doesn't cost that much to license music for a single use. Even using a song of supporter Barry Manilow would be better than what is being used.

The audio clips are on his site now.
Anyone who was at the Ron Paul Rally in Des Moines on June 30 (remember the ITR/ITA forum? Seems like months ago) knows how this song can suck all the energy out of a room.
Just when everyone was about to explode as Ron Paul prepared to go on stage they played this thing and it was like the air coming out of a balloon. I thought we had learned our lesson. It has its place - I liked it when it was in part of one of Bill Dumas' RP videos - from Silicon Valley or Vegas, I think.
Curious and undecided Iowans need to see and feel the energy we have!

I love the “He Walks His Talk” radio spot.

I just turned on the local news to see if the TV commercial would run and it did! I have to admit it really comes off much better on my tube than it does on You Tube.

Folks, not everyone is into rap, emo or alternative music. This is Iowa we are talking about not metropolis-ville. :p
