This is a new commercial (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZvwP9cs9QTg) I made for the Ron Paul presidential campaign. The commercial was designed to be positive, simple and to evoke the hopes and dreams of the American public at large. The background music is Aaron Copland's "Fanfare for the Common Man", which was written as a tribute to the American taxpayer. There is a good history behind this song at the Library of Congress (http://lcweb2.loc.gov/diglib/ihas/loc.natlib.ihas.200000006/default.html). Please let me know what you think about the commercial by rating it or commenting on it on YouTube.

I loved it, and rated it appropriately with five stars (and favorited it).

The only change that I would make is to make it clear in the graphic that says "Vote Ron Paul in 2008" that he is running for president.

Rated and favorited.

I liked the crowd pan-and-zooms and, of course, the mosaic. Whatever other great ad ideas come out of this campaign, that to me is the quintessence of what this is all about.

One tiny critique: I would fad the voice over after the last "Thank you" to leave off the "this is a bit overwhelming" part. It's kind of a splash of cold water on the triumphant feel.
