Hi folks. As we were discussing in the Iowa Facebook ad blitz thread (http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?344311-How-to-reach-3-000-Iowans-for-10-POTENTIAL-GAME-CHANGER-ChipIn-to-Win-Iowa), the campaign did not have any official Iowa page that worked as a good landing page for our Facebook ads targeted at Dem/Indy/young/conservative Iowans.

The official Iowa page (http://www.ronpaul2012.com/states/iowa/) had no caucus information, and the campaign's caucus info page (http://www.ronpaul2012.com/2012/01/02/iowa-caucus-information-guide/) is not convincing/motivating enough to undecided voters.

I bought iowaforpaul.com months ago, so decided to put up a halfway-decent landing page for our ads.

I'm still tweaking the formatting - need to shrink the width of the main text blurb and add more images in a sidebar, generally make it look a bit more professional - but for an hour's work it does a good job of getting the main points across in a motivating way.

I also added a Facebook Like box that puts the following on people's profiles when they click Like:

When the first visitors land on the page, it would be great if they see "80 people like this" or "800 people like this" instead of 2 right now.

So it would help if you could visit the page (http://iowaforpaul.com) and click "Like".

I am open to additional suggestions for formatting, images, text to include, etc.

We are about to throw $2,000+ into Facebook ads promoting this page to Iowans. Please read this thread (http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?344311-How-to-reach-3-000-Iowans-for-10-POTENTIAL-GAME-CHANGER-ChipIn-to-Win-Iowa), and especially my major update (http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?344311-How-to-reach-3-000-Iowans-for-10-POTENTIAL-GAME-CHANGER-ChipIn-to-Win-Iowa&p=3937618&posted=1#post3937618) linked to in my sig, and throw a few dollars our way (http://iowaadblitz.chipin.com/iowa-ad-blitz) if you can. It's important we raise another $1,113 so we can max out ($4,000) my ad capacity before the caucuses begin.

Thanks!

FYI I'm an Iowan who is seeing a LOT of Santorum and Romney ads on my Facebook right now. The freaking Santorum one is especially disgusting:

I click on the donate to Santorum to charge him money. He doesn't have much to begin with might as well help him spend it.

I could use help finding pics that communicate energy in Iowa, like the one below, to fill up the sidebar with. Undecided voters need to get caught up in the excitement.

Donations are for an ongoing Iowa Facebook ad blitz (http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?344311-How-to-reach-3-000-Iowans-for-10-POTENTIAL-GAME-CHANGER-ChipIn-to-Win-Iowa&p=3937618&posted=1#post3937618).

Some people who see Santorum's FB ads are clicking on them when they see them - because it charges Santorum money and it means a few hundred less people will see the ad.

Everyone born before November 6th, 1994 can vote on Tuesday.
Small detail, but I am pretty sure it is ON OR BEFORE Nov. 6 1994.

Cool, fixed.

Okay I think the site is now ready for massive traffic. Feel free to promote this to anyone in Iowa.

URGENT! - The images on the site are not on the side, they are between the two sets of text. Not only does it look unproffesional but it means that loads of people won't see the CRUCIAL information that is below. This needs to be sorted ASAP - http://iowaforpaul.com/

It looks fine to me. What browser are you using?

EDIT: IE8 (of course) does screw it up. Looks fine with Chrome though.

Internet Explorer. It may not be the best, but it is the most used so this needs to be adressed ASAP. Thankfully, Christopher's on to it.

In my opinion, we should now stop the Santorum attack ads and focus ENTIRELY on get-out-the-vote ads. It's too late to attack Santorum, we've done the gaining votes work now. Right now, we need to make sure that ALL our supporters caucus for Ron Paul to win. GOTV!

Also, the Santorum attack ads link to article on CNN etc. Do we really want grassroots money to be giving traffic to these sites. I really don't like running the attack ads. The CNN website has loads of anti-Paul articles, I'd rather not be sending people there.

Please, please, please focus on getting out the vote. Especially by targetting our Blue Republican base.
