Jay Leno=Major Local T.V. Opportunity!

[bmcosti]

Have you watched your local and national newscasts lately? Did you ever notice that they always seem to find opportunities to promote themselves? Like, ABC News promoting Disney movies or CBS News doing stories on the actors and actresses that just happen to be on shows their network. Let’s make it easy for NBC to give itself an excuse to promote Jay Leno’s interview with Ron Paul, and let’s help them generate buzz and viewership for the interview. Let’s get 1,000’s of Ron Paul supporters all over the country to show their thanks to NBC by getting supporters to show up at their tapings. Many NBC news outlets New York, Chicago, have glass encased studios that are viewable to the street.

On October 30th, 2007 Ron Paul will be interviewed by Jay Leno on the tonight show. As Ron Paul supporters this day will be our opportunity to show NBC and America what type of grassroots support we have. This is a whole new market for us 5.7 Million viewers per night, and if we create a lot of buzz and increase viewership 10-20% this will cause other shows to take notice and Ron Paul will become a hot booking for all the top shows. Let us make this be a watershed event for Ron Paul and the peace and freedom movement.

1. Let all your friends and family know that Ron Paul will be on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Make sure they watch it, tape it, or TiVo it.

Here is a sample email:

Dear Jane Voter,

I wanted to let you know that I have found an extraordinary candidate for President. Dr. Ron Paul is unlike any Presidential candidate this country has had in my lifetime. He is going to be on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno on October 30th on NBC. I will be watching and I hope that you do too.

Here is a short YouTube video to familiarize your self with the candidate has been called the “Taxpayers Best Friend…EVER”, “the Champion of the Constitution”, “The Thomas Jefferson of our generation”

2. Find your local NBC affiliate call them and thank them for NBC booking Ron Paul on the Tonight Show.

3. On October 30th, stop by the building that films their newscasts and hold signs and rally in thanks to NBC for the coverage.

As I said the networks will look for any reason to give their shows extra publicity. If you let them know you are coming, and show a good crowd, the grassroots efforts could get much deserved additional coverage in many local markets.

This is our show of strength, and no other campaign has attempted a mass thank you to the media like this before. Let’s make this a night that changes America.

We should get the local affiliate 10/11pm newscasts to attempt to do a local story on RP supporters which will make a perfect segue/teaser into Jay Leno.

Brilliant idea, Matt. The tie-in must include a mention of his appearance on Leno, however.

[TechnoGuyRob]

This is a really good idea.

Can we start telling Meetups about this?

[McDermit]

Sign wavings.

"Watch RP on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno! Tune in to NBC at 11:30pm."

Then an anony tip to your local NBC affiliate news stations about the whackos with signs...

Your local station will love you for promoting their network.

[Matt Collins]

Does anyone have this confirmed in their local market? We have 8 days.

[ARealConservative]

Terrific Idea! I just emailed my local NBC affiliate.

[nayjevin]

1. send out a press release to your local T.V. stations, radio stations, and newspapers RIGHT NOW of Ron's tonight show appearance (Presidential Candidate Ron Paul Booked on Leno)

2. around the 26th or 27th send another press release, this time Rally of Support for Presidential Candidate Ron Paul, stating who what when where how and why.

3. email directly any reporters who have been friendly to paul or conservative/libertarian ideals

[M.Bellmore]

How many local RP supporters are geting tickets to the show?

[Lord Xar]

I just hope his campaign doesn't loose this opportunity..

I hope he talks ISSUES, and Doesn't act like a 'surprised kid at his followers' etc..

He needs to stop being so "surprised" and start acting like a general in command of freedom fighters (figuritively)...

he can talk with Jay, but he really needs to talk the talk.... Like look at the camera and say..

"Listen America, if you want us to stop this nation building, foreign entanglements and unconstitutional wars, trillions in deficit and have us return to sound money where your dollar is worth something.. then please find out more about me... There is also many issues coming up that are a real jeopardy to our Soveriengty..
"

Like, he needs to promote himself.. he plays too much the "surprised grandfather" type..

He needs to "talk to america" and TELL THEM WHAT TO DO....

[Matt Collins]

I just hope his campaign doesn't loose this opportunity..
You mean "lose" ? :p

[Ibgamer]

Well guys I have some bad news

With half the state on fire right now, all the news focuses on are the fires. Hopefully they will be out by then and we can focus on other things and get RON PAULS name out there!

we need to find out what time of day jay leno's show is taped so we can be at our affiliate stations before that, right?

also, we need to know the same thing for our local 11:00 news broadcast.

so we need to call our affiliate stations and get the times and be there in time,right?
