[Sola_Fide]

Powerful. Works on many angles.

[neverseen]

wow

[Cyberbrain]

wow I thought I couldn't love Ron Paul any more...

[Evilfox]

Amazing!

[Sal Featherstone]

Get this up on the air!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mLakomy]

excellent! a positive response ("Ron Paul is a good man") is better than a negative response ("Ron Paul isn't a racist") to the smears, negative responses legitimize the smears

[eleganz]

YES!

[Austin]

Heartwarming story..

[JoshLowry]

Great work!

[hammy]

RP is probably the most modest person in the world, revpac needs to find more people like this and flaunt RP a little bit. I'm sure this isn't an isolated event with RP.

[Shellshock1918]

Wow. That pulled on my emotional chords.

[Dissident]

RevPAC is putting out professional work.

[GeorgiaAvenger]

Tweeting, facebooked, liked, added to favorites,

[spudea]

i like this but I don't think this type of ad is needed. I'd much rather they promote and raise funds for Adherence to the oath.

[kylejack]

Great ad!

Any legal problems? There's a shot of Ron Paul speaking on a podium on a street that I recognize from an official campaign ad...

[specsaregood]

Ok, that one got me tearing up, first time for one of these ads.

[GeorgiaAvenger]

Upvote good comments, down vote bad comments

^That is very important to do!

[rockandrollsouls]

Wow...

I sure hope this gets airtime. That is what wins votes.

[pen_thief]

I teared up...mom said, "That was beautiful." I'm off to share this on Twitter now :)

[icon124]

don't worry James we have a ton more like him in the makings...I'll be one of those one day. :-D

[sofia]

ya know....if America passes up on this man, we bloody friggin well deserve to collapse and disappear down the toilet bowl of history!

[rockandrollsouls]

This is the kind of ad that wins over votes from all demographics!

woman will melt over this ad!

[PursuePeace]

Very powerful ad.

[Jandrsn21]

wow....

[kill the banks]

huge perfect timing

[Muttley]

Awesome stuff...I loved it! You guys at REVPAC have killed it every time with these videos!

[ronpaulyourmom]

i like this but I don't think this type of ad is needed. I'd much rather they promote and raise funds for Adherence to the oath.

Honestly I think we need this ad more. At this point our main objective is passive voters not die hards. We need to break through the bs and hit them emotionally. Also, a lot of die hards are reluctant to back RP because they think the Obama machine will play the race card on him; this ad makes him stronger in their eyes vs Obama.

Adherence to the oath is a great ad I love it, but I feel like the target audience for it is too stubborn to convert in large numbers which is what we need right now.

I WANT TO DONATE TO THIS AD, I'm throwing in $150 right now but can we organize a mini-bomb for this? Before Iowa?

[Xenophage]

Holy crap, good job. That needs to be on every major network.

[InTradePro]

Kudos to RevPac, that is one amazing video.


PS. Duplicate with http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?343223-New-Revolution-Pac-ad-may-be-a-gamechanger.

[ShaneEnochs]

So yeah. I cried.

[Endthefednow]

wow

[Cap]

That was powerful.

[cdc482]

I cried a little.

[K466]

love it. Rev Pac really gets the right message delivered, even better than the campaign does.

[GeorgiaAvenger]

Excellent, we have two good comments as the "top comments"

Please keep voting them up! It is important viewers have a good impression!

[Sola_Fide]

I've watched this several times now and I've got to say...

...this is one of the best, most timely political ads I've ever seen.

[cdc482]

This is why Ron Paul is infinitely more valuable than any politician with a similar message.

[MRoCkEd]

Amazing!

[GunnyFreedom]

Ok, that one got me tearing up, first time for one of these ads.

Me too...

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to specsaregood again.

[ShaneEnochs]

Me too...

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to specsaregood again.

Don't worry, I got you.

[AdamT]

:) Glad you guys like it, we were working on this over Xmas.

We're working on both a :60 and a :30 cut for broadcast. Obviously want to use the :60 but it's 2x the cost to air.

[GunnyFreedom]

I've been saying for a good long time now that we need pathos to go with our logos, and this is just what the Dr. ordered...

The majority of people vote emotionally. This is a home run.

[KingNothing]

What a guy. What an awesome guy.

[Ricky201]

I'm crying.

Just when I was giving up hope the campaign takes a big shit on the MSM.

FAN-TAS-TIC.

[GunnyFreedom]

:) Glad you guys like it, we were working on this over Xmas.

We're working on both a :60 and a :30 cut for broadcast. Obviously want to use the :60 but it's 2x the cost to air.

Hey, there's this great candidate for State Senate in NC in a tough primary I'd like to tell you guys about... :p

[KingNothing]

I didn't think Rev Pac had it in 'em to do something this amazing. Seriously, this ad is perfect.

[SpicyTurkey]

Hey, there's this great candidate for State Senate in NC in a tough primary I'd like to tell you guys about... :p

I got your back.

[PursuePeace]

Tearing up is a strength.
It's the weak that build a wall around their heart, too afraid to feel.
Funny, isn't it? How this bizarro world always tries to make it out to be some sort of weakness?
Down is up. Up is down.

This is such a wonderful ad.
Like someone else said, made me love Dr. Paul even more.

[sofia]

kinda tough to tell this story in 30 no?....i really think the grassroots will respond bigtime to this...especially after iowa win.

go for :60!.....if we fund this, its game over!

[roversaurus]

HOLY COW!!!!!!!!
AWESOME!!!!!!!!!

Shovel money at these guys!!!!!

[pauladin]

I have no sound on my computer. Can someone sum up the ad for me real quick?

edit: never mind. i just read the description on youtube.

[Son of Detroit]

I have no sound on my computer. Can someone sum up the ad for me real quick?

The ad is centered around a man James, a black man, who is telling a story about when he took his wife, a white woman, to a hospital in the early 70s. He says they were being ignored by nurses and doctors despite his pleas for help, which he attributes to racism against interracial couples at the time.

Dr. Ron Paul "came to his rescue" and tended to his wife. After 10 min, she gave birth to a stillborn baby boy. Ron Paul told James not to worry about a bill, and that he would take care of it for him. He kept his promise, and James never got a bill from the hospital.

James goes on to talk about how Ron is a principled, honest man, and he is what America needs.

[Birdlady]

Just...wow! :*(

[cdc482]

Saw it for a third time. Cried a third time.
I love Ron Paul.

[ItsTime]

Air this in NH asap

[socal]

This ad combats the racist charge, and the Adherence to the Oath ad refutes the soft on defense claim. Next we need an ad that explains how RP is going to help the poor, middle class, and elderly. That will be a lot harder because the lower classes are getting robbed by stealth (Federal Reserve sponsored bailouts, inflation, cooked inflation statistics, excessive gov't spending, etc.).

[mosquitobite]

I agree, now we need an ad to win over the elderly in FL.

[sofia]

Just showed it to my politically ignorant girlfriend.

ABSOLUTE MELTDOWN!!!! She wants to join our cult now!...

[CrissyNY]

Beyond anything political, or if this will be an effective ad or not....

Dr Ron Paul is a very good and kind man, and I am proud to support him.

[Adrock]

This would be good to run on the cable news outlets. I think they are cheaper and run nationally.

[K466]

This ad sort of does that already!

[KingRobbStark]

I loved the part where he was shaking hands with his supporters. He looked so humble, and grandfatherly in that scene. Bravo!

[escapinggreatly]

Wait... federal employees can't donate to Super PACs? Sonofa...

[mello]

This commercial is what the campaign needs. I don't know how they could edit it down to 30 seconds or a minute for tv ads but they should put it into heavy rotation on radio stations.

[pauliticalfan]

nvm

[justatrey]

Should we have some sort of a mini-bomb or at least a fundraising thread for this?! RevPAC really stepped up with this one.

[Sunstruck-Eden]

I totally bawled.

If this doesn't get people (women in particular) to be swayed and vote for Paul, I don't know what will.

[FriedChicken]

Should we have some sort of a mini-bomb or at least a fundraising thread for this?! RevPAC really stepped up with this one.

Yes we should. I think so anyway.
But I'm not maxed to the campaign ... I feel my first obligation is to them ... but this ad is freaking amazing. Maybe I'll make my donation to this and just find a way to double my phone from home calls?

[Cap]

Get this on Drudge.

[realtonygoodwin]

Unfortunately, I am pretty sure that the ad time in Iowa is all bought up... We should air this in New Hampshire and South Carolina asap.

[TheSecretBillionaire]

nvm

nvm indeed

[justatrey]

Yes we should. I think so anyway.
But I'm not maxed to the campaign ... I feel my first obligation is to them ... but this ad is freaking amazing. Maybe I'll make my donation to this and just find a way to double my phone from home calls?

I was thinking the same thing. The priority has to be the official campaign, but most of us can still chip in something even if it's $5 or $10 towards this.

[TXcarlosTX]

Revolution PAC


Thank you for your donation of $25.00.

[PursuePeace]

Thank you for your donation of $50.00. It is greatly appreciated!

No, RevPac.. thank YOU.

[Johnnymac]

wow that was so epic and compelling

[mport1]

:) Glad you guys like it, we were working on this over Xmas.

We're working on both a :60 and a :30 cut for broadcast. Obviously want to use the :60 but it's 2x the cost to air.

How soon will you guys be able to get this on the air? It would be great if this could be playing in Iowa before the caucus.

[mport1]

Should we have some sort of a mini-bomb or at least a fundraising thread for this?! RevPAC really stepped up with this one.

Yes. If they need money to air this, we absolutely should. A lot of people would chip in for this.

[sofia]

Unfortunately, I am pretty sure that the ad time in Iowa is all bought up... We should air this in New Hampshire and South Carolina asap.

If SC is open to Democrats, im sure black voters will be impressed by the man's testimony

[The Magic Hoof]

How much cash would they need to run an ad like this in NH?

[Cyberbrain]

I think this may be too late for Iowa but this would be right on time for NH and WOW this would be perfect for SC and Florida. I think it would be a shame to not take a few extra days to do a proper money bomb to get the :60 version on TV.

[Bruno]

My wife and I are lying here tearing up watching this with our newborn in her arms. We're in, this is a powerful story.

[sofia]

Rev PAC needs to set up a thermometer for this just like the super brochure people have. Get with RPF and DP to promote it...with a ticker.

Tell us how much air time each dollar donated buys..or some such gimmick..

If my girlfriends emotional breakdown (as well as my own lump in the throat) are any indication.....this ad will explode Ron beyond our imagination.

Austrian economics and attack ads are great.......BUT IT IS EMOTION THAT MOVES THE MASSES!

lets do this!

sonaofa... i lumped up just READING the play by play.

[AlexAmore]

Great ad. Everyone needs to +1 this as well and subscribe to the Revpac channel to boost this video up if you haven't already. Of course share, like, tweet, and favorite too.

[opinionatedfool]

RP is probably the most modest person in the world, revpac needs to find more people like this and flaunt RP a little bit. I'm sure this isn't an isolated event with RP.

Amen! If he doesn't want to blow his own horn, we should do it for him. Great work RevPAC!

[J_White]

tearjerker !!

[jer4liberty]

Wow this is the most powerful ad I have seen yet. Right along side the Life ad and the Veterans ad produced by the campaign, but this one may take the cake. I'm holding back tears. WOW!

[pulp8721]

Forget Drudge, you know who needs to see this...Jan Michelson! Ron is doing an interview with him tomorrow. If he sees this ad before the interview, there's a chance he could bring up in discussion, and Ron can tell the story himself.

[fuzzybekool]

Amazing video. Emotional gut wrenching story and needs to be on the air.

[cdc482]

The cure for dry eyes.

[1000-points-of-fright]

I can see the spin now:

"The only reason he helped that guy's wife was because she was white."

[pauladin]

I can see the spin now:

"The only reason he helped that guy's wife was because she was white."

I don't think the media will even acknowledge this ad's existence.

[DealzOnWheelz]

My only negative thing to say about this is.........


You couldn't have blacked out the Fox 29 news microphone for Ron's sake??


Other than that absolutely groundbreaking.......If you are maxed out to the campaign DONATE TO REV PAC Or purchase things from Ron Paul supporters who are donating all of the proceeds to the campaign.


WE MUST GET THIS ON THE AIR

[torchbearer]

oh man, i gotta send money for this ad!

[nobody's_hero]

Just donated $50.00. Posted to my facebook page as well. I'm in a nursing program in college and I think this ad just won Ron Paul some votes when my classmates see it on my facebook page.

[tsetsefly]

i dont know how they can cut this to :30...even :60 will have to take out a lot of good stuff

[AdamT]

i dont know how they can cut this to :30...even :60 will have to take out a lot of good stuff

I already have a :30 cut that actually plays pretty good believe it or not. The :60 is coming soon, which hopefully will be the one we air.

did u read my earlier post about setting up a thermometer like the super brochure guys have?

perhaps calculate an estimate cost per second of airtime in any given state... and donor can buy "seconds"....gimmicks like that are very effective..

also, if possible, briefly include the fundraising plea at the end of the TV ad.....maybe you can recover all or part of ur outlays and then run the ad infinitim

Already in the works, hoping to have a ticker up by the end of the week.

great!...also, for states that allow indies and dems to crossover, u should run these on BET network. Black folks are already very receptive to Ron Paul and this would "get the crossover vote out " for sure.

I'll be donating to see this air. Can't wait to see the 60sec cut!

[Shane Harris]

I want to see this and more importantly the military oath ad play on TV

[economics102]

Hopefully Ron remembers that particular story.

Or perhaps he doesn't because he did that those kinds of things so often that it wasn't out of the ordinary.

[Bruno]

+ rep

[PursuePeace]

Youtube comment I just read that made me smile:


...hes an inspiration to us all. Maybe this is pathetic for a grown man to say, but id like to someday be like Ron Paul, im starting by reading the books he recommends on his reading list.

Not pathetic at all.
Encouraging.

[Ricky201]

BUMP!

[RSLudlum]

If SC is open to Democrats, im sure black voters will be impressed by the man's testimony

Open primary, it's good for the taking.

[chri5opher]

//

[Sola_Fide]

Does anyone think the ad is a little depressing because his son died? Am i the only one who heard him say that his son was "stillborn"?

To me, its not depressing. The fact that Ron tried everything he could when other people ignored the guy's plight, and eventually waved any fee for his services, speaks volumes and is uplifting.

[chri5opher]

//

[Ricky201]

Does anyone think the ad is a little depressing because his son died? Am i the only one who heard him say that his son was "stillborn"?

If anything it proves that Ron Paul was there for them when they we're not only treated badly for the color of his skin, but also showed compassion when they found out the baby was stillborn.

It's sad really...can you name a doctor with that kind of compassion anymore? I've worked with a lot of obnoxious OB/GYN's and it probably would've been a joy to deal with him.

[WD-NY]

sonaofa... i lumped up just READING the play by play.

lol! same here =/

This ad is = emotional + powerful + authentic

[anaconda]

Can the official campaign run the ad even though it was created by the super PAC (I don't see why not)?

[Philosophy_of_Politics]

Ron Paul is more than a vote for the presidency. It's a vote for morality.

[anaconda]

That was the best use of authentic people that I have seen in a campaign ad. The official campaign should run this ad if they can.

It seemed so unscripted. Like it was the gentleman's own words. Maybe they just let him talk, filmed it, and edited a little. Very sweet. Very telling. I wonder what your typical media newsletter critic would say about this?

[JohnGalt23g]

Wow...

[LibertyEagle]

Can the official campaign run the ad even though it was created by the super PAC (I don't see why not)?

I don't think so. They would have to compensate them for the ad, I think. It would be messy.

[anaconda]

I don't think so. They would have to compensate them for the ad, I think. It would be messy.

Can they purchase it from the super pac? Can the gentleman shoot another nearly identical video for the official campaign?

[Kluge]

Very powerful. It appeals more than to those questioning his racism. It also shows integrity simply by putting up a middle finger to that rare strain of racists who the media loves to talk about as supporting him. It's a rare emotional appeal from the Paul camp. I think we'd see our "typical" demographic changing rapidly if we air this.

... And I'm not trying to sound like the biggest dick in the world..... but we're absolutely sure this story is authentic, right, and he wasn't compensated? We know the MSM will try digging into this guy's background, checking dates and trying to find out exactly where Paul was so they can try to discredit the ad.

Shared.

[Napolitanic Wars]

No shame in man tears...

[eric4186]

this is one powerful and incredible ad

[qwerty]

THIS MUST GO VIRAL!! SPREAD IT AROUND THE INTERNET!!!!

[InTradePro]

Bump for one of the best ads ever.

[RickyJ]

This got to get on TV!

[papitosabe]

I haven't read all the pages, but how much is needed for the commercial to air? Would be nice to see a clicker/timer/counter thing to see how much is raised and needed... What a commercial! Great work to whoever made this!

[gjdavis60]

Just threw RevPAC another $25. Come on, we can get this aired!

[papitosabe]

has already been re-uploaded http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1GYOWo3BAE0 .. Not sure what needs to be done to get it removed

[Chieppa1]

Question. Do this guy anywhere in the video SAY that he is poor and on government healthcare?

[nobody's_hero]

has already been re-uploaded http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1GYOWo3BAE0 .. Not sure what needs to be done to get it removed

Huh?

Why does it need to be removed?

I would, though, send the re-uploader an IM asking him to please credit and link back to the original RevolutionPac youtube channel.

[papitosabe]

I would, though, send the re-uploader an IM asking him to please credit and link back to the original RevolutionPac youtube channel.

not sure where I read, the creator asked to not re-upload...also someone mentioned that would waterdown the views

[Deborah K]

We need to ask the Judge to air this on his show and talk about it. It will kill the racism charges, and we can move on to other things.

[sailingaway]

Already in the works, hoping to have a ticker up by the end of the week. that's a long time! Can you at least put periodic updates and how much is needed to START airing it? people are making second choice decisions right now, that is why Santorums numbers are going up. Ron's haven't gone down, but are just creeping along.

[Steve-in-NY]

I didnt cry... but something must have flew into my eye.
ahem.
I paid revpac a little to not tell anyone.

[nobody's_hero]

Jan Mickelson just played the audio on the Ron Paul WHO radio station in IOWA!

Would it be faster to get a radio ad of it in Iowa? Maybe a lot cheaper too?

[IndianaPolitico]

Does RevPAC have ANYTHING in the bank they can put towards this? How much do they need to raise, and how quickly?

[IndianaPolitico]

Would it be faster to get a radio ad of it in Iowa instead? Maybe a lot cheaper too?
Great idea!

[pauliticalfan]

radio ad!

[seapilot]

radio ad!

That is what I was thinking too! The audio alone is a Powerful message of compassion and draws the listener in. Speed wise it could be broadcast a lot sooner than a TV ad and reach more people for less cost. A TV ad would be powerful and the money raised in time for NH.

[IndianaPolitico]

We have just a few DAYS before Iowa, how much does RevPAC need, and how much do they have?

[UtahApocalypse]

You could clearly see that Ron Paul was having to hold back his emotions hearing that.

If my girlfriends emotional breakdown (as well as my own lump in the throat) are any indication.....this ad will explode Ron beyond our imagination.

Austrian economics and attack ads are great.......BUT IT IS EMOTION THAT MOVES THE MASSES!

lets do this!

Definitely! A small moneybomb to get the full version on TV would be huge. If it could play in several states, at least, that would epic!

[libertarian4321]

what a racist.....

He's an evil, evil man, lol.

[amyre]

That was really incredible. Wow.

[Zydeco]

Brilliant!

[boethius27]

Excellent. Fantastic video and great timing.

[anaconda]

Might have to be edited. If you miss him saying "Ron Paul" came to my rescue you might have no idea whom he was talking about..

[FA.Hayek]

i hope we get enough money to air this to the older folks who rely on cable tv to get their political knowledge

i hope we get enough money to air this to the older folks who rely on cable tv to get their political knowledge

Yep, will be blanketing NH starting next week.

SWEET!

Possibly. At this moment there isn't a 60 sec cut of that one.

[FA.Hayek]

No, I looked into it today and with New Years' there's just no way. The stations need HD Digibeta hard copies which have to be shipped. Not enough time.

What about radio ads?

[InTradePro]

This is going to be an amazing tool in many states.

[Freedom of Speech]

Possibly. At this moment there isn't a 60 sec cut of that one.

It would be great if that ad could air too because it shows the support from the military and veterans.

Thanks for the reply!


I guess airing the 2 minutes is not feasible is it? :p

So true. And the beauty of this ad is that it transcends the racist accusations. It also speaks directly to his character. It can never be considered a 'dated' ad.

[FA.Hayek]

the two ads are awesome! just donated to rev pac and hopefully every little bit helps!
It's up to us to spread these videos around. Email it to meet up groups in Iowa, spread it in your state! Spread it on fb, youtube, etc...

[Eric21ND]

:) Glad you guys like it, we were working on this over Xmas.

We're working on both a :60 and a :30 cut for broadcast. Obviously want to use the :60 but it's 2x the cost to air.
With a great website I think you could fund a 60 second ad easily. Make the website in the vain of the of the Voter Bomb and have a ticker.

Radio Ads?

Bump

[Expatriate]

Best ad I've seen yet, a real tearjerker!

By the way, there is a small team of people trying to load the comments with racist garbage for some reason.

[Eric21ND]

We need radio ads of this awesome story as well. Huntsman is attacking us over racist garbage and this will destroy those smears.

[AdamT]

Finally got the ticker up! There are 3 different embeddable sizes too (click the </> icon on the bottom right of the ticker), so if you have a site please embed!

We're working on an ad buy for NH starting early next week which will full saturate the state with a 60 sec cut of the Compassion ad.

Yes, the ticker goal is hefty. However if we can begin to approach it or even meet it, we can run the 60 sec Compassion cut in SC, FL & NV, and probably even a parallel run of a 60 cut of the Adherence To the Oath ad.

Please spread this folks. Busy busy.

AWESOME! Great Job!

I am getting some really positive things said about both ads from people I've identified as undecided and currently supporting the other candidates. The Oath ad is actually the one that has many of them looking at Ron Paul closer based on the responses I'm getting so I'm glad you guys are going to get that one on TV too.

the compassion one is to diffuse the idiot newsletters and to let Huntsman's scummy ad blow up in his face and splatter those fine tailored suits of his.

[Paulitics 2011]

Ticker is up!

BTW, RevPAC, can you guys post the 30 second and 60 second videos on YouTube? You can make them unlisted so that people who search for the video will still see the 2 minute one.

[skyorbit]

How much does it cost to buy a 30 sec ad?

And will we get enough up in time to air before Iowa?

[InTradePro]

Bump. Most people viewing this forum haven't seen this yet.

[pauliticalfan]

Holding out donating till I see the 60 second version.

[hdmf]

At :47 the words "Ron Paul" seem to be edited in. At no other time in the video does he say the name "Ron Paul". There's something fishy about this video. I'm not saying this man's story isn't true but how did they find this guy after almost 40 years. They should tell us the story behind the video. And yes, I am a Ron Paul supporter.

Interesting, below was your first post after your three year hiatus from the Ron Paul Forums. (referring to Ron Paul's choice of people around him regarding the newsletters). Came back just to poke at the newsletters, and now at the ad, calling the person into question depicted in them, saying the ad is fishy?

When you say, "I am a Ron Paul supporter", I'm not sure you know what the word "support" means.


Won't he have to pick a few if he's president? That's not a ringing endorsement of the man.

So whom did you vote in 08? Mike Huckabee?

Holy cow, I just watched this for the first time. Amazing.

You think it's an ad for some other politician who was an OB-Gyn in Brazoria County? Which politician would that be? The ad's legit.

Gary Franchi answers that on Alex Jones. Although I have a sneaking suspicion you won't believe what he says either. And in case you don't take the time to watch the whole interview, Gary explains how dedicated Paul's constituents are in his district. The man in the Ad is from Ron's district. http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?343870-Gary-Franci-of-RevPAC-being-interviewed-now

Some Ron Paul haters are going to the Black Republican group and bashing Ron Paul. Please ask to join and stop this smear campaign.

I wish this was going to be on the air in Iowa.

Ron Paul never took medicare or medicaid and never turned a patient of ANY race away because she couldn't pay. On a radio show when Ron was asked about this he said he didn't remember the specific incident, but that was just how he always practiced medicine. It would have been stranger if they COULDN'T find someone.

[ItsTime]

I meant to add.... Has any air time for this been bought on NH yet?

There's another 49 states though, so we need to get to work.

Did this end up airing during the debate?

a shortened version ended up airing three times during the debate at night, I don't know if it was in the morning one. It cut out some good stuff, unavoidably, though, so I still prefer this one.
