Bumpity fucking BUMP!

The campaign can do what they want, that's fine with me, I'm not going to lose faith over them because of Iowa.

But regardless, we need to go balls to the walls in getting these ads up and running! This should be spread through blogs, facebook, myspace, etc.

[scandinaviany3]

Agreed!

We must unite and defeat the common foes that if elected will absolutely destroy our nation. This is not a libertarian thing, this is not a democrat thing, or a republican thing, or a independent thing. This is our nation, its our time to make a sound like none ever heard before.

ITS TIME TO ROAR!!!!

We must now take off the gloves everyone...and do something about what is going on as one fighting force.

www.operationbroadcastfreedom.com is a banner effort behind Jeremiah Black and his partners work.

But we will work with all the top directors, like eliberty, etc and others that have already contacted us to maximize the power of the machine of the grass roots.

I would encourage all of these media experts in tv, movies, graphic design to contact us. We need to form a super coalition.

BUT TO DO THIS THE MONEY MUST FLOW LIKE THERE IS NO TOMORROW OR THERE IS NOTHING ANY OF US CAN DO.

If the national campaign can´t make good ads, we have great grass-roots that can!

Donate to them!

Any way we can set up some sort of pledge system for these? Psychologically, just having a level of assurance might do the trick.

This I am PC/Mac style commercials are BORING!

[HazardPerry]

Jeremiah Black has gotten screwed as far as i'm concerned. He's made these great ads out of his own pocket and nobody will run them. He can't get enough $ to run them himself and nobody seems to want to donate, despite the fact that everybody thinks they are "teh greatezt!" These ads are amazing, we need them on the air! Where have all the dollars gone :(

[McKinley Mitchell]

I just pasted this in several message boards.


Hey you wrestling fans, you all ought to start shouting RON PAUL when ever Kane is shown on the monitor or in the ring. Get the crowd into it especially if it is on national television. If you are not a wrestling fan and have friends that are pass this along to them.

Have Ron Paul signs in the audience waving them around. This will get Dr. Paul's name out too a mass of people that have never heard of him before.

This should be applied at any sporting events.

In regards to 'which chipin' I am not sure what you mean. Do you mean between the operationbroadcastfreedom or the Call4Paul campaign? Go half in half.

This project CAN be funded if everyone who wants to see it happen donates and convinces their Ron Paul supporting friends to donate and spread the word. I got a call the other day from a guy who's calling maxed-out donors to hit them up for this project. It was a great idea and he really showed the kind of initiative we're gonna need to make this happen (thanks Louie).

The other guys working on the project can only do so much. At some point soon we need the people that believe the ads will help Ron Paul to really make a push. It's short notice I know, but it's worthwhile. I'm calling everyone I know tomorrow to donate. Even my dad, who's a pretty staunch Democrat, donated. It was only 10 bucks, but I'm working on him :)

[LibertyEagle]

Come on folks. A number of you have said how much you like these. If we're going to get them on the air, we have to raise money FAST.

Please donate what you can and pass this on to your respective meetup groups.

DVRs are in about 10-12 million homes. That's not much.

McDonald's, Coke, Nike, and hundreds of other giant companies KNOW that TV ads work. That's why they spend hundreds of millions of dollars on TV advertising every year. I've got two words for anyone who thinks TV advertising and branding doesn't work: Geico Cavemen.

Dean and Nancy, and I mean this as respectfully as possible, please don't waste money (or even risk being counterproductive like HQ's ads) on ads unless they are part of a researched, informed strategy.

Where are they running? What is the target demographic (this is from the crosstabs in the polls)? Have you tested the effectiveness of these ads for that demographic? You can see where I'm going with this line of argument.

Also, there is a general cycle with these ads: intro bio, issues, attack, end on a positive note on why you're the best guy. Make sure you time your ads in each place for the right part of the cycle.

The ads will be placed by our media buyer based on research of the top issues for each area of the state. And no, this is not his frist time doing this.

Thanks for the input, but making unconventional ads was the plan from the get go. And they've tested well so far.

A LOT of people who listen to RPR are not on the forums, and not in MeetUps. You can reach many untapped financial sources.

[rjl]

This project needs everyone's support! We are nearing the deadlines for buying airtime and the funding is absolutely NOT there. It doesn't take much from each person if we get a whole lot of people behind it. Please donate to Operation Broadcast Freedom to get great grassroots ads on the air in the important early primary states. Tell other RP supporters you know to donate. We have to get the word out to Michigan, SC, and Nevada voters soon.

Danda, I think it is cute, but this isn't the type of ad that Jeremiah is making. Right now, he is trying to get the funds to film some very powerful endorsement ads. The endorsers are already lined up, but we have precious little time to make them.

[danda]

So I guess an ad can only be run if it is made by Jeremiah?

silly me.

My point is that these have already been produced FOR FREE, and are sitting there for anyone to broadcast.

jeremiah Black commercials suck-


they are limited in appeal, one-dimensional, boring, vague

The campaign's commercials have been great since the first couple, especially the last few. Looking at the polls, I'm sure they're working. So forget about funding commercials and go knock some doors, Deliver your precinct for the good DR.

Interestingly, not completely sure if it's accurate, but the areas where these ads ran we did fairly decent in Iowa.

We'd gladly run other ads. The problem is getting in touch with people, getting clearances, ensuring broadcast-quality, etc. If we had more time I'd love to get more ads from other producers, but right now we're pretty much going with what we've got, which I think is pretty good.

[free.alive]

People, after reading these posts, I would really like to exactly WHAT it is about these ads that you all like.

I don't like them, that's my opinion, and I agree that a lot of thought needs to go into planning when they air to get the greatest effect.

As far as supporter created ads, is this the BEST we can do?

[jake]

I think they have fantastic production value and Mr. Black should be commended for the technical side of things, however I don't think these are the necessarily the votes needed to win

What about that ad created for National Treasure 2?

[jake]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bm1ogIIXrTE

[LibertyEagle]

It depends upon whom your target market is, free.alive. The first 2 ads were requested for a younger, hip audience. The 3rd ad, seems to me, to be targeted at traditional conservatives. The 4th ad is targeted towards Christians.

Not all ads will work in all states. Even within a state, certain ads need to be run in time slots/shows that correspond to the target audience. Rather than just being lobbed out there to be run, wherever, whenever.

In addition to the ads that already exist, they are trying to raise the funds to film some very powerful endorsement ads.

[LibertyEagle]

Please help fund the production of the new Endorsement commercials. Time is running very short.

Jake,

Could narration be added to that?

Look, if you don't like the commercials, then that's fine. But either do something yourself or get out of people's way. A LOT of people like them, and if a lot of people like them, then they'll be good ads to run. That fact that you don't like them is irrelevant. The best thing you can do is to make your own ads that you like and post them to get donations. I encourage you to do so. But let's be clear: either DO SOMETHING, or get out of the way.

They're not sitting there for anyone to broadcast. No one has a copy of the ads, no one's been able to get in touch with the guy that made it, and it's not 30 seconds even.

Get it touch with the guy, get it down to 30 seconds, and get the releases for everything signed, and then it will "ready to broadcast." Until then...

the big problem with all these is money. We have to have issue ads, endorsement ads as a baseline. Then we have to be able to have ads such as these on target shows, markets, etc.

But the money is too small to push too many ads. Even the ads we will do we have to consider if we rotate ads or only show target ads for a time then shift to another.

If we get to the point of big money these ads are fantastic ideas to bring some humor into the debates.

We have several others, graphic designers, dieing to do work if the money comes.

But everyone has given up so much time and money for free right now they can not survive.
