Since this keeps getting buried in Grassroots Central...

I was thinking that the way to reach almost every voter in a meaningful way is to purchase TV time on every station on Feb. 4th, preferably between 7-8 (or one of the half hour spots, if we can't afford the hour) and have Dr. Paul make a speech. The speech can be about the issues the GOP already agrees with Paul on and a short conservative reasoning for his stance on Iraq. At the end he could look straight into the camera for a few minutes and just talk about the "electability" issue, saying that the voters need to make a legitimate decision, ending by saying "Who will decide who's the next President, the media or you?"

This would reach almost everyone in Super Tuesday states, and it will be what the voters are thinking about as they go to vote the next day.

Seriously, why won't anyone respond?

good idea, but it'll definitely cost a pretty penny.

That would be one use for several million dollars.

Yes, and the best. 30 second ads do nothing, they don't convince people to vote for you. One 30-minute speech on a variety of issues would convince many to vote for Paul, especially if he delivers it extremely well.

unfortunately I think people would just turn the channel and watch a rerun of Law and Order or something equally as ridiculous. People are just too apathetic to watch a politician for more than 5 minutes. I think we can change this mentality, but I don't think we've gotten that far yet

Oh yeah..like during primetime they would stop watching their quiz show for a 30 minute political rant? LOL baaa baaa baaaa

EVERY TV station, then they'll have to read if they don't like it, which would benefit us because the IQ would rise a few points.

every station? are you joking? who's going to pay for that? And you just can't demand a station play a political speech at a certain time, shows have contracts with the stations..

It was the only idea I could think of. What else is going to convince people that Paul can win, or that he should win? We aren't going to be able to meet every voter, and the MSM surely isn't helping. We need a way to get Ron Paul on everyone's minds, and the grassroots doesn't seem to have the time, energy, or numbers to do it.
