Urgent! We need funding today in order to launch billboard in Austin, Texas!

[ronpaulbillboards]

Our plans for the billboard off the upper deck of I-35 fell through. The owner has not been helpful working with us to get this up. He owns the office space and sign above it and he is not a professional billboard company so it has been difficult trying to work this out. He gave us several quotes for installations because he has been unable to reach the contractor that has to use 2 trucks to install billboards. Yesterday he said the installer is quoting $4,000 just for installation and that would send the total over $10,000. The owner still hasn't provided concrete dimensions for the signs so that it can be wrapped correctly without info running off the side of the billboard. I have been talking to him for weeks on and off and now that we are ready to start everything he is acting clueless. We have no confidence in this guy or the installers that would be working on the billboard.
I already had a plan B worked out with a contact at Reagan Advertising for another billboard in downtown off I-35. A prime location has just become available so we can still reach 250,000 daily and it's highly visible with a size of 14 x 48. He sent me info this morning to get this started. The total costs for this is $7,900 for everything for a 4 week run. The only problem is that this company asks for all Political Ads be paid upfront in order to start the process. We are short about $3,000 so if we were to do this we would be fronting the costs ourselves in hopes we would recoup the costs through donations. We can't afford to be left covering that much of a difference, we paid $2,000 out of our own pockets for the South Carolina billboards since we didn't reach the goal and we already signed contracts. We have worked very hard on this and want to make it happen, using a nationwide billboard company like Reagan Ads will make sure this is done fast and professionally .

If we can get a commitment to cover these additional costs and the donations start rolling in, we will sign the contracts today and pay for this upfront.

Due to situations out of our control and to ensure we launch the billboard timely and professionally we have chosen to use a billboard agency that has one available in the same area. It is located off I-35, on the South side of the freeway facing north. The location is in the middle of downtown right off of 4th street. This is another prime location that has extreme traffic as well and can reach 250,000 daily also. The total cost for this billboard is $7,900 but the only issue is that they require payment upfront for political ads. We need to have an influx of donations ASAP to cover the costs of this launch. We can follow through with this if we have the support and commitments to cover the additional money needed to fund this. We need about $3,000 to reach this goal. Please contribute to make this happen and help Ron Paul have a big presence in Texas.

Ouch. That is a devastating compromise to read about. I'm sending $100 to the cause, even though I realllllllly wanted that double billboard (having driven past it hundreds of times, even after I've moved back to Dallas).

Have y'all worked w/ the Meetup group(s) down there to hold any kind of small fundraiser for this? One night at a bar w/ a few bands ought to bring in most of the rest of the cash.

I'm so upset with this guy I almost want to post his number so yall can let em have it.
It's very unprofessional to think that way but he has definitely wasted our time immensly

The other issue is having money in Paypal and transferring it into accounts to make this happen.
We need the money or commitments ASAP to make this happen.

Thank you for your continued support.

I have the contract from Reagan so we are ready to sign if the donations keep coming in.

Bump this is so important

If they never wasted money on a stupid blimp they could have afforded billboards that would have actualy done more good. Blimps don't get votes like I said before they learned their lesson.

We can reach potential voters in Texas. In 2006 Austin voted for Independent candidates over Rick Perry for Governor.

Our graphics designer has already reworked the designs for the 14x 48 billboards and all info and issues are included.

We are ready for print!

TEXAS IS AN OPEN PRIMARY ANYONE CAN VOTE AND THE ANTI-WAR VOTE IS HUGE HERE!

Good luck on working with this guy, he wasn't helpful at all. He knew we were serious about this and he has had that billboard for sale for 9 months. His business skills are lacking and thats why no one has leased that space. $4,000 for installation is just ridiculous. I would go with the major billboard companies, if anyone wants his number to verify these quotes or whatever, send me a PM.

I'm on hold trying to get on Alex Jones right now.
