Ron Paul Wikipedia Article

[Oliver]

Do we have some of the People in here who are responsible for
the Ron Paul Wikipedia Article?

My suggestion is to put a newer and more attractive Picture of
Ron on this Site, like the one from the Campaign-Site:

This is the one that is currently online:

This issue has been covered atleast a dozen times since the beginning of the campaign. Unless the official national campaign puts a disclaimer on their site release all rights to the photo we cannot use it on Wikipedia, many have tried including myself.

We hit a brick wall with the wikipedians following copyright laws, it must be clearly stated that the photo is released of its copyright for us to use it on wikipedia. Every attempt to try and work something out with the wikipedians has failed, the only resolution can come from the official campaign.

So we don't have members in here who are involved in the
official campaign, maybe with direct access to Dr. Paul or
someone who's able to grant permission?

Did someone contacted them yet?

[Oliver]

I will ask them - but I need to know who the Campaign Team
would have to contact to give their permission...

I think we finally have it, guys. The greatest RP pic ever!

It's on the left-hand side of the homepage at thisnovember5th.com

Tell me that pic doesn't melt your face, and I'll tell you that Peter Sellers and Moms Mabley painted my garage door last week.

Whoa, this fell off the page fast!
