Ron Paul 2012!
I'm promoting this all over the Ron Paul pages on facebook. Likes are pouring in :P I still only see $40 on the chip in link, but happy to hear we are really over $150. What is the direct link to the chip in so i can make sure i have the right one?

It's in the OP too

It's a difficult trade-off. Memorability is so crucial for this to be effective. We could use blackthisout.com and we would get a rough estimate on effectiveness, simply by the increase in traffic/pledges happening. We are pretty steady in regards to those two demographics, so it would be really clear with the spikes it should generate.

Anyway to get this on the front of daily paul also? We need to max it out ASAP to get the most bang for our buck...
This is a great idea -- we should go for the $750 option. I just chipped in $50. Someone match me.

The use of force to impose morality is itself immoral, and generosity with others' money is still theft.
If our society were a forum, congress would be the illiterate troll that somehow got a hold of the only ban hammer.
Great!
I'll match you with a big +rep. All I can do right now.

Yeah, let's hold out for the $750 -- I'm sure we can raise it. $50 a pop isn't nearly as good a deal. Can you increase the limit on the chipin? Also, we need to work on a script.

Yeah, we definitely need to start collaborating on a script ASAP.
How long are the time slots?

I posted on dailypaul at the above link to help spread this around.
Anyone want to set up a google doc? It allows real time collaboration so that we could correct each other as we go and chat in the side. Frankly, i'm surprised that we haven't tried to use this tool for grassroots before.
First we need to know how long the time slot is. If it's thirty seconds, we can work on getting the time just right.
looks like 2 quick 15 second reads.
Yeah^, that's about the time they spend on reads as they come back/reintroduce from a break.
$225 raised
What about also running some on Coast to Coast AM?
Q: Where can I find information about advertising on the Coast to Coast AM website or radio show?
A: For details about online advertising opportunities on CoasttoCoastAM.com, please write to Craig Hawkesworth: chawkesworth@premiereradio.com. For advertising on the radio show, Coast to Coast AM, contact Stephanie Smith: ssmith2@clearchannel.com.
Would it make sense to say something with out pauls name in it to attract more than already supports in at least 1 of the reads?
"Do you want to be a part of history? Visit blackthisout.com and pledge your support to bring our troops home! www.blackthisout.com"
The other read:
"On Nov 5th 2007 americans like yourself set the single day donation record. On oct 19th you have a chance to again make history. Visit www.blackthisout.com to be apart of history"
Or
"Grassroots america is looking for your support! visit www.blackthisout.com to support ron paul in his 2012 election bid"
Or
"Have you heard that Ron Paul is now a top tier candidate? No, you haven't because the mainstream media is blacking him out! Visit www.blackthisout.com to create a ripple in politics so big, no media outlet can ignore it."
Visit www.blackthisout.com to pledge support in removing obama from office! www.blackthisout.com www.blackthisout.com www.blackthisout.com

15 seconds is not that short of a time for an ad readout. We need to make sure everyone understands what this is and why this is called "black this out".
"Help spread Ron Paul's message of liberty and small government to the media that is blacking him out! Visit blackthisout.com to pledge a donation to Ron Paul for President. That's blackthisout.com."
Those are 5 second ads, we need a little more to get our money's worth.
don't see any other ideas yetspit some out!
how many lines would one expect to say in 15 seconds?
Edit: google turned this up for me:

"By now, it's obvious that Ron Paul has been denied mainstream media mentions despite his 3rd place command in most early presidential polls. They (the mainstream media) are afraid of the true liberty message getting out to common folks, even in print and on tv since they benefit from the status quo. All true patriots should mark their calendars for the Ron Paul moneybomb on 10-19-11 to donate what they can spare to a major dollar-drop into a presidential campaign that will remove big money interests from our lives and reduce American debt, consequentially."
'Whatever website' and/or donate to the RP site..
Say u?
"On October 19th, let the establishment know that we the people, NOT the media, will decide the future of this country. Head on over to blackthisout.com to be a part of the largest grassroots donation effort in history. This is the first step in getting the government out of your life and out of this economy. Again, visit blackthisout.com today to let the media know that you won't stand by and let your freedom be blacked out."
Something like this pulls at important issues (economy, personal liberty) which would generate interest among the average conservative, which we need to make this money bomb huge.
We could run another variation of this with Ron Paul's name included to tap into supporters who may not be aware, but I'm not sure how many RP supporters would honestly learn about the moneybomb on the radio before the web.
I like this one! For a 2nd one I'd like to see a ron paul based one drawing on how he's been blacked out. then have 1 of each play for the 2 weeks.
The time is now to stand up for freedom. The media won't help us. The establishment won't help us. They wish to black us out. Well, let them Black THIS Out. Tens of thousands of Americans are going to donate to Ron Paul on October 19th. Visit BlackThisOut.com and pledge a donation to Ron Paul's campaign. BlackThisOut.com for liberty. For Freedom.

Yeah, been thinking it would be worth it to air two reads per day for the remainder time.
$20 from me.
