Large website wanting to promote RP

[gippis]

Hey guys, I currently run a website that has over a million active members, and I'm looking to make a news post about my support for Ron Paul.

I am looking for 2-3 videos that you guys would think are good "intro to ron paul videos". Would you consider:

1- http://youtube.com/watch?v=wIivoqLbeeg (A New Hope 2.0)
2- http://youtube.com/watch?v=XaxdUPNYj2s (House of Cards)

along with http://www.obamala.com as good references?

On another topic, does anyone know why the ABC 20/20 link on that obamala.com site is down? Who can be contacted to fix it?

[Voluntaryist]

Whats the URL of your 1mil+ strong website?

[steph3n]

Hi,

A New Hope is good IMO

What type of niche site is it? there may be a better movie for your "market"

[peznex]

Whats the URL of your 1mil+ strong website?

X2

And, why would you not mention it?

[gippis]

www.dota-allstars.com It's a gaming website (Unrelated I know, but everything helps, right?)

[LibertyForAll]

A New Hope!

[Aballistar]

Stop Dreaming (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IWfIhFhelm8) is always good too.

[Forefall]

You run DOTA allstars? Awesome. Used to play myself :)

[HazardPerry]

Those are the two videos that I always use to introduce people to Dr. Paul, good choices! Many people like Stop Dreaming but I prefer A New Hope to be honest. The Candidates@Google talk with Ron Paul is very illuminating for a fuller picture of Ron Paul (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCM_wQy4YVg). If the folks on your site are interested, don't forget www.ronpaullibrary.org, that is priceless if you are trying to flesh out his views.

Onward! :D

[gippis]

Thanks for the suggestions guys, keep em coming. Does anyone know how to get in touch with the guy who owns obamala.com though? I'd really like to get that link fixed and start linking to it...

Thanks for stopping in those are two really good one - thanks for your support

For gamers you'll probably want something mentioning how he wants to keep the Internet unregulated. Also no national ID, no war on drugs, no nation-building and other more libertarian stuff. Pro-life and commodity-backed currency are probably less important here.

look up his name, he has responded to a number of people via email

I really like this YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KeSMdysK7iY) and it is targeted to Gamers. This makes it 'on topic' and 'less controversial' to your audience.

Whenever I am in chat before the game starts I saw something like "You hear about the idiots politicians that want to make [Game name I'm playing] illegal?" Everyone usually responds very interested so I tell them to write down the URL and check it out after the game. Almost everyone is interested and checks out the site. The sad truth is the bait question is true.

For example, a video about keeping online gambling legal is great for a gambling website. Same with a video about health freedom for a health supplements website.

[Myerz]

Check this one out!


This is the one...... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oir9tpq6mgQ

[FrankRep]

Please don't invade the site like you invaded Conservative Underground.

[fortilite]

Wow, that is huge. It gets more traffic than ronpaul2008.com

[Energy]

A New Hope 2.0
Stop Dreaming


House of Cards is too dense for first timers.

Good supplements:

Ron Paul Supports Our Troops
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wC6D6uiLrgQ (depending on audience)

eLIB3RTY's Tea Party 07 (to show what we did on Nov 5 and mention the $6 million day, this vid is good for complete newbies to show them what the grassroots have done, and Ron Paul summarized quite well who his supporters are: nondescriptive)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKZmIzEMUN8

"Ron Paul Upholds the Constitution for Rosa Parks" (against spending taxpayers' money, instead offers $100 chip-in, no one accepted)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cs-0AXWV8so

Ron Paul vs Rudy Giuliani (for some people, seeing this is a huge eye-opener)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AD7dnFDdwu0

When in the Course of Human Events
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AFfdB5OzlyQ

1-Hour Interview in NH
http://www.nashuatelegraph.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20071108/NEWS08/311080111

[slantedview]

"When in the course of Human events...." is also an excellent video (better than stop dreaming, i think) :)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AFfdB5OzlyQ

[celticsman7]

I'd stay away from House of Cards. It's too complex for someone to get introduced to Paul. I'd stick with A New Hope and possibly The Revolution Begins or Change the World

[hawkeyenick]

Change the world 2.0
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=klSek88t54w

This is my favorite! Wakes people up!

[Voluntaryist]

How about that one video with the Evanescence song in it? That one is good!

[Ethek]

I love house of cards... maybe suggest it as additional viewing

[robert4rp08]

This is a VERY nice one: http://www.ronpauldvdproject.com/themovie.php

Ha! When I saw the thread title, I knew it was He Who Shall Not Be Cached By Google. Heard it through the grapevine.

Glad to have you aboard!

Edit: guys, take this thread seriously. Mr. "gippis" is a guy of some renown in his field at the present time.

I love DOTA!!! That's awesome that your part of the rEVOLution!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

[angrydragon]

Maybe do a poll on issues first? Like do they hate the income tax?

[traviskicks]

I think the interview with Glen Beck is the best out there:

[Rebel Resource]

The three I have referenced on the front of my site are:

>> Ron Paul: A New Hope (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FG2PUZoukfA) - though there is a 2.0 version now that seems identical AFAIK
>> Change The World 2.0 (http://youtube.com/watch?v=klSek88t54w)
>> Paul's Iowa Chairman (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1wo7G6j6bi4)

By the way my site is in my sig and it has the best collection of documentaries etc going anywhere on the web...if I knew it was being plugged to 1m people I'd be well chuffed.... ;)

Me (Pendragon_) and IceFrog are both big RonPaul supporters, we're just trying to do our part! I'm going to post here once I've got our news post and banners up. I've got click tracking set up so I can see how much traffic we're directing towards RP sites as well.

Use New Hope......just because the name is more positive.

House of cards is a great vid.

[sparat1k]

i play dota everyday. good job man!

[ionlyknowy]

My only issue with the new hope and stop dreaming vids. are that they contain information that is old... that could be made better. I like the flow of the vid. but I think there are things we could use to replace certain portions of the vid. to make them better and not change the effect.

Such as, it mentions the 11/5 4.3 million in one day... but now we have the $6 million in one day. We also have better footage of massive crowds of RP supporters... the old videos the crowds are smaller....

Maybe the creator can do a New Hope 3.0 and incorporate the new things... including the blimp.

[jpa]

omg I love DOTA!

[gippis]

I've added a Ron Paul news post and banner to http://www.dota-allstars.com/ I'll periodically report click-through traffic if anyone is actually interested.

[CelestialRender]

Awesome! Thanks for the support. : )

[gippis]

Just to give you an idea... in the 15 minutes since I've posted it, it's been viewed almost 1000 times, and between the 3 links and the banner, has already directed over 100 people to the websites listed :-D

[beobeli]

A New Hope 2.0 is the best intro and it is a MUST.
Stop Dreaming is a follow up.

House of Cards is good for the monetary policy

[cicatrice]

I just checked it out and as a fellow gamer and revolutionist, I applaud this! ^_^

Nice....how many of your base are US citizens?

[gippis]

Nice....how many of your base are US citizens? The U.S is our largest demographic. I don't have an exact number :)

[damijin]

Glad to see other gaming oriented website operators supporting Dr. Paul.

I'd love for my site to do it, we're nearly as large as you guys (and a little more traffic than ronpaul2008.com), but unfortunately with 14 employees doing something like that is a little more difficult :P

[cicatrice]

Nice....how many of your base are US citizens?

I know there's tons of American DoTA players (everyone in all the World of Warcraft guilds I've played with play DoTA on the side and they were principally American; I'd say a good chunk is right at the voting age and above, too). There's also quite a bit of Aussies but this is going from my personal experience. I'd also be interested in the traffic breakdown.

[ThomasJ]

I play DOTA all the time you guys F-ing rock

[ape]

welcome aboard and cool site.

I'm a gamer myself. Played warcraft 2 from 96 to present time on kali/zone/bnet. A little SC/BW aswell. =]

[anarchy]

Hey, welcome to the club :)

We've been endorsing Ron Paul on hornymatches.com with a video that's played on login. Try to login with username limelime and password ronpaul

This is the video that I think conveys the message in the shortest time. We are ranked around 775 on alexa and the 200th most visited site in the usa. We also have a banner in our main members area.

Good luck and get some other big webmasters to do the same, many are following ;)

The media cant deny us anymore, cause we are the media :P

Welcome to the Revolution Gippis! No international website would be complete without The Strasbourg Tea Party! I've seen it a dozen times and STILL get all misty eyed knowing the Revolution has been heard and is being supported by the four corners of the world.

[smartguy911]

Why not just advertise. Use the 728x90 or 160x600 banner size and advertise throughout your site and send the clicks to main website.

[Rebel Resource]

Well, I deal products out of England to US customers mainly....I have an email list of over 2000 clients/prospects that I sent a Ron Paul calling card to last week. Anything legal is more than justified in this cause!

[Brad324]

very awesome! I'm the guy who invented the bottle for that game :)

Fantastic!!! I used to play Dota (or Defense of the Ancients for Warcraft III Frozen Throne) so much...I was entirely addicted to that game. This site seriously has a viewing - if you don't believe him just go on youtube search for dota, people are obsessed with that game. I used to go on it all the time when I played:

http://www.dota-allstars.com/

Thank you gippis - or Pendragon, whoever you are, great job!

Maybe if a lot of dota gamers support Ron Paul, we could have a petition for Blizzard to support Ron Paul itself. There are literally millions of World of Warcraft players who just play that game all day who can be exposed to Ron Paul :)

This is seriously fantastic, I am delighted to see Ron Paul being supported on the website of my favorite former game.

Look for his pro-videogame statements (he may have some on video, not sure), but I know for a fact that he is the only one who believes in freedom of speech 100%, and as a gamer, even THAT'S huge to me.

[peznex]

That's awesome! Thanks for the support for the Dr.
