AdamT has the ad booked for the January 20th (same day as the Shotgun News!) edition of FUR, FISH, and GAME. This magazine, much like Shotgun News, is hugely popular. Monthly circulation is approx. 116,000, and estimated readership is over 300,000.

This is a full-page ad, and Fur Fish and Game is giving a discount. Adam's PAC needs $2000. Please contribute anything you can to help reach an important demographic.

Here's the re-vision of the ad re-sized for Fur-Fish-Game's full page proportions. I changed the body font and made the headline a little more eye catching.

Edit - made some other minor changes: added "- Congressman Ron Paul" after the tyranny quote, changed RPs pic to the one with a flag in the background, and added the official "Gun Owners For Paul" logo under his pic.

Edit - this is the final version I just uploaded to the magazine's advertising department.

I tried donating but it didn't look like it went through. I think it was a problem on my end.

71 views, and ONE donation?

cmon, you guys can spare $10! you people are too reserved with your money. Ron Paul will win if everyone gives it their all! We need to pull together and dig DEEP!

[fortilite]

More than 1, I donated for sure. And you donated. And I bet others have donated, too. Getting any error emails for your chip-in?

One other plus about Fur, Fish, and Game is that a large number of their readers probably don't get on the internet. It's read by a lot of older outdoorsmen who ain't got time for computers.

Chipped in 20.

I was thinking that as well.

[AdamT]

My step-dad reads it, and he's never used the Internet in his life. I doubt he could even turn on a computer. He fires a mean crossbow though.

No errors so far. I'm seeing some donations in the PACs Paypal acct, but the ChipIn widget is slow to update. Seems to be working fine.

Please put this on The Daily Paul. That should vastly increase the donations. www.thedailypaul.com and also send it in to the Paulenteer http://www.paulunteer.com/

Bump I donated $100.00 a while ago. This is a good cause.

[OferNave]

116k circulation for $2k is a steal, compared to the Carbondale ad (40k for $3k) which was full funded, and not as targeted as this.

Just donated $200. Who's gonna help close this deal?

Thanks again to everyone helping with this! Currently at $1155 or 57%.

KEEP DONATING FOLKS!

awesome donation!

[tnvoter]

That's awesome, people who really care about the 2nd amendment need to know about Ron Paul absolutely before this election.

[LukeNM]

No offense, but I never heard of FUR, FISH, and GAME! Guns & Ammo, yes... What is the circulation of this magazine -- inquiring minds want to know?

It's hugely popular with hunters/fishermen/trappers. Taps into the 50+ demographic of non-Internet users, many of which hate the government already and will be thrilled to learn about Ron Paul.

"Fur-Fish-Game is distributed nationally has been in print since 1925. The current paid circulation is around 120,000, with 90% being mailed directly to subscribers. The rest are sold on newsstands. Its readership is 350,000."

$1280 raised - 64%. Please keep it coming!

[DesertRat]

Chipped in $100 last night. I think this is a great idea and it will reach likely supporters that otherwise might not know about Dr. Paul. Good to see we are almost there!!

This is a great opportunity. This and the Hightimes ad are our 2 last chances to get in January issues of targeted magazines! February is too late, it's now or never!

I've noticed it's very effective, once you're done designing are in the fundraising phase, to start a new thread and include in the title:

1) the fundraising goal
2) what percentage has been raised so far
3) the due date

Something like "Shotgun News ad currently 52% to $2k - needed by Thu Dec 13", and then cross-post to dailypaul.com.

I gave the same advice in the High Times thread. They took it, and it's working. :)

Hint hint.

The ChipIn's at 102%; take it off the main page and move 'Operation Call4Paul' over, so it's not pushed to the side like Mike Gravel at debates, so it actually gets some attention - please. :)
