Couldn't find the right forum to post this in, I made this video in support of Ron Paul. It shows the diversity and that we the people after hearing his message realize that we need to wake up and take action.

If you want to download the 720p version:

Please do not repost on YouTube, if there is only one video there is a better chance we can get a huge number of views, ratings and favorites--and our message will get more prominence and land on the top pages. I also have an adbrite account so I'm running full page ads of the video throughout the internet. It only costs $0.001 for each time the ad is displayed!

Also before I forget if you're ever showing this from a dvd or anything other than youtube, I should make another version that has the youtube logo on the side. I think part of the power of the video is knowing that these are real youtube videos compiled together. (just my notes)

I have a question.. we were going to use the Jon Stewart video for the black this out moneybomb, but they've been pulling them for Copyright issues. Do you mind if we use this video for time being? I think it would work really well to inspire visitors.

yeap, i didn't even know Ron Paul ran on 2008 and I knew about him from youtube back then... I think some supporters have little idea how many more people out there haven't heard his message. I don't mean to make it sound like they did nothing back then, because they've done A LOT, when the media ignores you it's really hard to reach a lot of people.

But this time around we have to do even more, its not enough, NOT nearly ENOUGH, until everyone we meet on the streets hears his message of liberty and freedom. Then and only then will ALL of America rise up and fight for freedom.

Molyneux still has respect for RP and would rather see him in office than anybody else I'm sure. He posts quite a few things about RP on his Facebook.

I wonder what if we can get the youtube users with extremely high subscriber numbers to favorite, comment or like the video. I mean I have 7,000 subscribers and 5,500 on my other channel plus 1,000 on my third channel.

Just imagine 1 youtube user with 5 million subscribers who hasn't heard this message yet. Just imagine how many people that will convert to the cause.... I mean all that people need to hear is the message, let the message speak for itself and people will rise up and join us.

I'll admit, and I know I'm going to be flamed for this, but I used to think Ron Paul supporters were, for the most part, hippies. A few exceptions, but generally I felt that to be true. And I guess that really... took a machete to how I was beginning to feel about our movement as I move onto college in my life. That's why this video is so inspirational to me. Because we're not all a bunch of hippies. We're America, and our movement is as diverse as the nation we aim to fix. As a Jew, I often get a lot of criticism for supporting Paul. As funny as it is, I couldn't support any other candidate -- I'm fed up with the racism that's surfaced between Judaism and Islam, and I'm tired of people taking one side in the whole Middle Eastern conflict and not taking a look at the whole picture... I'm proud to support Ron Paul, and I'm proud to be an American.

He hates politics but does respect the Ron Paul supporters and understands where we are coming from. He just thinks it is all a lost cause.

It's time for Sam's technology nitpick of the day!

1. While DVD's technically can hold HD video on them, the DVD wouldn't work like a regular DVD, but like a flash drive. It would confuse people if the DVD didn't "just work" when they put it in their DVD player.
2. HD DVD is dead. And Blu-Ray is freaking expensive.

However, I agree that it would be awesome to hand out DVD's of this around the neighborhood!

This video is the absolute epitome of grassroots support, look at the variety of people supporting Ron Paul, it is good that many women, and people of color are featured as those are both weak demographic area's for Ron Paul. The converted neo-cons are examples that people can change their political philosophical outlook too. Excellent variety of YouTube supporters that have made videos all grouped together.

Chainspell
08-25-2011, 09:29 AM
About the variety... I know people who don't want to believe wont believe this. But all those people on the video were not picked in any order or any prejudice. it was not tailored or shaped to make it appeal to a demographic or a wide audience. I just downloaded all the support videos I could, Ron Paul's message is so powerful that you just have to rely in the truth of his message.

Ron Paul inspired me to show the truth about the people who believe in him. And this is the truth, we shouldn't hide and exclude the yelling guy because it may make some people uncomfortable or else we're just like FOX news in trying to shape the truth. let the people make up their own minds

I think this is why his message and this video is so inspiring and moving, is because the video is real, he is real and the message is real.

She said yea, how can I vote for him? I have to be registered Republican right? I asked, you are going to vote for him? She is like yea why the hell not give the old guy a vote to become president? She previously would keep telling me he's too old to become president.

Just convinced my mom who didn't vote in the last election, and has never voted in her in life, to change her party affiliation and vote for Ron Paul by playing the video and just leaving her alone watching it. :)

And for better or for worse I would rather have a leader that inspires people to tell the truth and stands up for what he believes in, than all these other leaders that i've ever had in my lifetime.

This is a great video. I wish there is someone out there who would produce a video portraying Ron Paul as Moses and use the "Let My People Go" as the theme. I read some old posting back in 2007 and his comparison of Ron Paul to Moses is right on. Moses fought for freedom for his people from the Establishment just as Ron Paul is fighting freedom for all Americans from Big corrupt government and greedy big businesses.

Perhaps your video will help dispel their concerns... we'll soon see because I've forwarded it along.

#30 - Top Rated (This Week) - News & Politics

It's only been a little over a day and we're in #28-#30 spot for the week already!

I don't get why we don't get a lot of views tho. If you put random videos on an excel table the average View to Rate ratio is around 2.5% so apply 2.5% to our 1,138 total ratings you get around 28,450 views not 11,000. Maybe we just have more people rating coz they like/dislike the video so much? 10% of viewers push the rate button on our video. Haha food for thought for the conspiracy guys out there :D

I might be wrong, been out of the netroots for a while, but I'm thinking our distribution channels were a bit better in 2007/2008. I'm not very active on Facebook so not sure how well embedding video and customizing pages are on there but four years ago we utilized Myspace a lot for distribution through embeds which brought in a lot of traffic since it seemed everyone had a myspace page and were able to load up ugly looking pages with dozens and dozens of videos. The number of Ron Paul websites that offered video and the competition was up there as well as the amount of videos being generated, Meetup groups mailing list and local forums including state and city Ron Paul websites were viewed by people locally and getting videos to go viral through all the various distribution points was fairly easy.

I know now we have twitter and reddit, however personally I don't use them and don't really use facebook either so not sure how effective they are at distrubtion. It may just be the other videos in the News areas have better supportive distribution points currently or perhaps just not enough people have seen it yet and redistributed for it to go completely viral, who knows. As far as the rated vs. viewed ratio that may also be tied to distrbution localized to Ron Paul supporters and haters vs. the general public that are not closely monitoring candidate races, may again be attributed to distribution or could be its still too early, or it could just be that videos regarding a presidential campaign get more likes dislikes vs. general news stories or commentaries, only time will tell. But yea I'm sure someone somewhere had probably started to think about how long term corporations (or the government or both :p ) need to reduce the distribution power of individuals on the net by setting up roadblocks, hurdles or reduction in propagation and empowering tools of video and other content on the web to monopolize information flow and control, blah, blah, blah. :)

I see they are using adbrite, but maybe try using the Youtube Promoted videos. Youtube promoted videos use keywords to figure out who to display your video too, it also is a 0.1 cost per click. I'm sure we could get a good list of key words together on here. Any current news or anything related to Ron Paul or the race would be good.

Keyword List:
Ron Paul
Ron Paul 2012
Presidential Nomniee
GOP
Republican
Democrat
Obama
Bachmann
Rick Perry
Romney
Sarah Palin
Candidate
Freedom
Liberty
Gold
Debt / Debt Ceiling
Irene / Hurricane Irene
North Carolina

yeah I have youtube promoted videos as well as the youtube pre-roll 30 second before skip ads. but really it's getting really expensive, so many other people are bidding on those keywords that i can't afford to outbid them.

you know I can see how people in power will want to marginalize us and give the impression to everybody (including us) that Ron Paul is not that popular. because if the elections were rigged and the whole of america knows who the real popular candidate is, they would have a problem. im sounding like a conspiracy guy, but that's just a "what if"

Gotcha, I bet it does. If we can get this going viral soon I'm sure cost can be off set by the community. I've posted this on a few facebook pages/groups and my wall.

No, you are right. Some times things are exactly as they seem, or at least something isn't right. Just look around our country, conspiracy or not things aren't right and will just keep getting worse unless we stand up an put a stop to it.

I actually got that guy as part of the list of videos I was downloading, but there were about 10 or 15 other videos that simply wouldn't download. They all kept spitting up an error, and he was one of them that wouldn't download :(

Have you tried keepvid.com? I was able to download http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eukFNN44ibM just fine through keepvid.

Speaking of rigged elections, anyone at RPforums who hasn't seen this documentary should watch it.
