Getting the USA Today ad published in the Miami Herald

[Pedro TT]

I was wondering how I would go about setting up a chipin for getting the USA Today ad run in my local news paper. I think it would make a HUGE impact down here in combination with the upcoming Spanish Univision debate.

For the kind of cash you would need to raise, you need a PAC

you can use operationnh perhaps

We can use one of the PACs to do this, but you need to contact them and get a price, so we can decide if its a worthy investment.

Pedro,

Could we also know what Meetup group you are in and the name of your Meetup organizer? No offense, but you have less than 100 posts and I, for one, don't know you yet.

That is, if fundraising is going to be started for this ad.

I think he wants to do it in Miami because there is a debate in town on Dec. 9 with Ron Paul at the University of Miami. It would be a good way to inform people about Ron Paul and have them tune in to the debates.

I'm part of the Miami meetup. Our organizer is Dean Santoro. I'm not offended by your comments as its a valid concern. I made the post at about 6 PM and my brother has previously worked for the herald so I know that the office was closed.

I'll be calling tommorow and will be posting an update with pricing. I'm not very active with my local meetup group on a regular basis.

As far as fundraising, I will be starting from scratch so whatever this will cost, it will need to be raised ASAP as the debate is exactly 3 weeks from today.

I know Pedro, he's a good guy. He volunteered for the Paint the Town Ron campaign when RP was here for the Value Voters Debate in Sept.

He helped make 100 or so banners and spent all night until 4AM putting up banners before the debate.


I'll help Pitch in Pedro.

Whatever ad you go with, consider adding a video link like ronpaulishope.com or ronpaulstopdreaming.com - seeing Ron speak wins many people over.

[Eric21ND]

A new hope video is great.

Lord Xar has a PAC..

For the NH ad, I raised the money then sent it to him..

PM him and I'm sure he'll do it thru his PAC for you...

A bit of advice......we should be doing this stuff in early primary states instead of our home states...

Run it in NH for the biggest bang for the buck...

With all those retired zionists living in Florida we may have to concede that state to their boy Rudy...

If indeed Florida can be won...it would only happen from the momentum of winng NH....or better yet...SC!
