IPPAC Ron Paul Ad Blitz Update!
The Illinois Patriots PAC is at it again
Our first Ron Paul Ad drive was quite a success. Thank you to all who donated. The inspiration drawn from support around the country to place Ron Paul ads in the central Illinois area has been great! Thanks again to everyone who has donated.
With everyone's help, we where able to purchase 40, one minute radio advertisements on 970 WMAY out of Springfield Ilinois. The ads can be heard Thu, Fri, Mon and Tue (Primary Day) between the hours of 6a and 7p.
Television commercials have also been purchased to be aired in the greater Sangamon County area. (the television ads will have an IPPAC tag when it is aired)
However, there is still time to do more.
Thank you, Greg Bishop district 19 delegate.

Success! Update on Central Illinois Fund raising/Ron Paul Ads
As many of you already know, we are the Illinois Patriots Political Action Committee We again want to thank all of you that saw our need and supported this effort to get the funds raised for Radio and TV commercials here in central Illinois. You made this happen here for Ron Paul.
Donations to Date: + $2,895.00 - WOW!
* Here is how the money is spent.
* Radio Cost - $ 1,040.00
* Studio Costs - $ 150.00
* TV Commercials - $1,999.00
* Total Costs = $ 3189.00 (-$ 294.00 short, which we borrowed and need to repay)
We were hoping to raise a lot more so we could cover all of central and most of down state Illinois, but with what we did receive in the short amount of time we had to circulate on forums and youtube, even against moderate skepticism by some advocating not to donate to this effort.
We were still able to get at least enough funds together for ads to cover an 80 mile radius of Springfield on the most listened to talk radio station, WMAY 970 AM.
TV ads cover approximately an average of 40 mile radius, and some towns further. So basically we ended up having enough money to cover all of Sangamon County and a little beyond, more into the Morgan county side.
In the event Ron Paul continues beyond the Republican National Convention, more commercials will need be purchased and ran in the future. Since we were at least able to concentrate in one county, we hope this will give us some statistical results to better determine how much cost it will take to win at this county in the event of a general election finish. This data will also allow us to help determine how much will be needed to be spent to win every county in Illinois and also be able to better estimate an appropriate budget / goal for future fund raising efforts for the general election. This information can then be communicated to all meet-ups in Illinois and across the country, so they too can begin their fund raising efforts as well.
Each PAC is limited to spending up to $15,000.00 per candidate, per election cycle. Just for future planning and to throw this out at you all, there needs to be at least 8 PACs throughout Illinois, thus would allow the opportunity of $120,000.00 to be raised and spent for Ron Paul Radio, TV and News papers, not to mention individual advertising efforts.
I don’t know if it would be enough, but it should be a worthy consideration, (please no billionaire comments yet, if it happens, it would be a bonus, not a bailout, a billionaire can and would do nothing without the grassroots.) PAC registration and getting more PACs established should be in place way before it is time as not to be rushed like IPPAC has been these last 2 weeks.
Any one needing more info on PACs go here..http://www.fec.gov/ans/answers_pac.shtml
Anyway here are the Radio and TV receipts and air schedules

You may review and listen to our Radio, TV ads at www.illinoispatriotspac.org, (this is still under construction)
NOW! We still need to raise $ 3,080.00 for newspaper ads (and a bus ad) to saturate every town in Sangamon County.
http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m193/zbus12/Ron_Pual_Busjpg.jpg
News paper ads will be necessary to be able to gather needed statistics for vote comparisons to other counties without any TV, Radio & newspaper support.
I know we are all tapped out, especially with another money bomb directly to the campaign (MLK Jr. Day), the blimp and various other chip-ins, but please consider a few bucks more to this effort. The information we gather from this ad campaign will be a valuable resource for many elections and years to come at what ever level of politics and activism is necessary to TAKE BACK OUR COUNTRY for our future generations sake and the sake our very own retirements.
So here’s the plan and goal!
We need to raise $ 806.00 by 1-24-08 for, ½ half page, Illinois Times, 30,000 circulation, published on 1-31-08
We need to raise $ 1191.00 by 1/28/07 for, ½ page ad in all South County Publications. This includes 11 local papers in Sangamon county except in Springfield. Also includes a ½ page ad in Springfield Shopper. All weekly papers. Total 70,000 circulation. All published on 1-31-08
We need to raise $ 1083.00 by 1-30-08 for, 5.75” x 5.25”, 1/8th page,
Springfield Journal, 62,000 circulation, published on 2-3-08 Sunday only.
This also includes a 6 month city bus rear window contract. This is now on a bus running around Springfield.
Newspaper ads are now in the design stage and will be uploaded as soon as they are 100%.
TOTAL GOAL = $ 3,080.00 all done by 1-30-08!
This only 308 donations at $10.00 or 154 donations at $20.00
Won’t you pitch-in one more time? Help us prove we can beat the establishment, get the vote, and show that Ron Paul will not be silenced!
