    Rand Paul Campaign Commercial Ideas

    Started this thread to start brainstorming ideas on how to get the best message out to the primary states.




    In 2012, this was a brilliant commerical. Rand has also practised with compassion in his field. Something definately should be put into the works to emphasize Rand's medical career. IMO.


    All ideas welcome. Go!

    It won't take very long to get them home but it won't be overnight either but Iraq says they can't stay and they are coming home just like Trump said.

    How about a RON Paul endorsement ad right before Iowa?

    I know it probably goes without saying, but the Ron Paul endorsement would have been HIGHLY coveted if Rand were not running. Every single candidate would have been trying to get that endorsement. Ron Paul has endorsed lots of candidates that didn't agree with him 100%.

    An ad that had Ron describing why he's endorsing Rand would go a long way. Not only with energizing caucus-goers, but also with fundraising.

    Basically, like this:

    Ron Paul looking at the camera with Carol sitting next to him.
    "There are so many things wrong with the path that we're on. I worked my entire political career trying to stop Washington from dragging this country down and prevent more damage from being done."

    (Throw in a few sentimental images here...)

    "If we are to leave the American dream for our children and grandchildren, we have to stop this crushing debt. We have to stop believing it is our job to nation-build in every nation across the globe. We have to begin trusting in individual liberty again. We have lost our way. But Carol and I have incredible hope for this next generation. We have seen it in them. We believe they are the ones that can finally put us back on the right path. But they need our help."

    (Insert happy, prosperous images here...)

    "Like all couples, Carol and I sometimes have our minor disagreements and we sometimes have disagreements with our children, but of this we can be sure... We can trust in Rand to do the right thing when it comes to the interests of our nation. He is able to clearly diagnose the problem and find the solution. And for that reason, we are endorsing Rand Paul for President. It's that important."

    "I'm Rand Paul and I endorse this message"


    (or something like that...)
    "And now that the legislators and do-gooders have so futilely inflicted so many systems upon society, may they finally end where they should have begun: May they reject all systems, and try liberty; for liberty is an acknowledgment of faith in God and His works." - Bastiat

    "It is difficult to free fools from the chains they revere." - Voltaire

    I dunno.....

    Was this thread a bad idea or a duplicate?

    Or is it just too many people wanna argue over the Bible?

    Would a mod please move to Rand's grassroots if that would better suit?

    A remake of John Dennis' absolutely brilliant "wicked witch" ad, with Rand, hillary, and a John Dennis appearance / endorsement at the end to prevent Rand from being accused of stealing the idea.
    I have an autographed copy of Revolution: A Manifesto for sale. Mint condition, inquire within. (I don't sign in often, so please allow plenty of time for a response)

    I think Rand HAS to be the first to come up with a solid anti-establishment commercial. Something that will make people remember he's the one the establishment will fight against the hardest.

    Once someone else paints themselves as the anti-Bush/Clinton candidate, the sheep will lap it up. Rand needs to be first out of the gate.

    I think Rand should play dirty politics when it comes to ads.

    Rather, instead of focusing on Why he is the right Man for the job, viciously detail why they aren't.

    What I'm saying is, there appears to be this new wave of what may be called "Libertarian Elitism" propping up everywhere. Notwithstanding, this is a trend I don't see ending anytime soon. So, standing on that Square, we can clearly see that all the "momentum" is already there. There is blood in the water, LOTS of blood. I think Rand should be Piranha in attack ads, not a Great White.. Save that archetype for POTUS.

    My idea is really simple. You open with John F. Kennedy talking about his tax cut plan. Then you move to Reagan talking about his tax cut plan. Then Rand talks about his tax cut plan.

    + rep.

    This is a great idea. I think you'll have to spell it out how those tax cuts worked out and caused economic improvement. Just a little graphic right after each statement.

    Rand's team should make a mash up of all the praise he's getting on the late term abortion issue right now on the website and play a full one minute ad in Iowa closer the caucus. They could even include all of Krauthammer's comments or even just from 4:58 to 5:10 (tube in jct74's post). Also Rand Paul should introduce late term abortion legislation in the Senate exactly the way Krauthammer talked about ASAP before someone else does.

    Two reasons:

    1) Republicans (like everyone else) like a winner who outsmarts their opponents. Rand doing this to the Democratic party makes people love him like your favorite sports team beating an arch-rival. UPDATE: Just saw this thread: here's the dynamic I'm talking about from our "supporter" Rush Limbaugh.
    2) It'll fight back the "libertine libertarian" narrative that his opponents will try to create in a more socially conservative state.

    How about JC Watts pointing out the hypocrisy of the "shush" comment with Benghazi and then saying "With Randal there is no scandal. When you fight for liberty, you don't fight for Hillary."

    I wouldn't mind seeing a commercial about his position about fiscal responsibility & the penny plan to erase the national deficit.

    For an idea that would stand out, I'd like to see the camera starting above him at an angle with a close up of Rand as he is explaining the problem. You can see that he is standing on 100 dollar bills. The camera pans back revealing that he is standing on a massive block of cash (CGI of course). He explains that this is what our National debt looks like in 100 dollar bills. The camera pans back further to show that the block is between the Lincoln Memorial & the Washington monument (or maybe in the center of Central Park, NY) to give a visual comparison of how large our debt actually is. Maybe at the end he could mention that the National debt is not the only debt we have.

    I whipped these up in Photoshop when Ron was running:



    I found out that 1 million dollars stacked was forty inches tall (in $100 bills). I was curious to see what a large brick of money looked like so I printed a sheet of $100 bills with 7 columns & 14 rows to use as a reference point. Using photoshop I whipped up a brick that was the equivalent of $98,000,000 in my living room. Then I made this gif:



    You can see that one block of $98,000,000 at the bottom of the field for scale. And below is a gif of what our National debt was when Ron was running:



    With the cost of technology the way it is today, it wouldn't be incredible expensive to create a 30 second spot with a photo-realistic pile of our debt. Visually, I think it would be a striking commercial.

    "We have nothing to fear except our own unwillingness to defend what is naturally ours, our God-given rights. We have nothing to fear that should cause us to forget or relinquish our rights as free men and women. To thrive, we must believe in ourselves again, and we must never, never trade our liberty for any fleeting promise of security." - Rand Paul

    I think he needs to mention the points that resonate with voters:

    Auditing The Fed
    Lowering Taxes
    Ending the NSA
    Ending the IRS
    Making minor drug offenses minor
    Fixing the economy
    No more war in the middle east

    yada yada ...

    None of that is going to work. It doesn't matter how simple you express a real problem, consider the audience.

    Start appealing to the base emotions. Their "7 Deadly Sins" is a good place to start. If you are craft enough, these are emotions that can be guided, or manipulated- depending on Perspective. I believe the air is ripe for Vanity preyers. The Truth is you have unrealistic expectations regarding their capacity for critical thought; thinking in general. Take a moment and consider the average voter, the average American.

    What I'm TRYING to say, you have to talk to them as if you were talking to an unpredictable baby. The differences between classes in Society are most pronounced in the light of Reason, and language. You can feel poverty, it is in the Air. If you want the vote of these people, start speaking their language..

    I think visualizing how much we actually owe can appeal to voters base emotions. Here is a rough mockup I whipped up so you can wrap your mind around the potential of my commercial idea:


  25. #22
    Remember Ron Paul's "What If..." speech? Is there any short speech or part of a speech (preferably from the Senate floor, or from some official hearing) Rand Paul has given powerful enough to fit this style? Perhaps a series of subjects could be presented this way.

    Rand should do a minority outreach ad. He should begin with this little clip of Hillary speaking at a black church:



    Then, it should shift to him speaking of what he wants to do for black and Latino communities.

    Then, a voiceover should say: "Minority Outreach? Who does it better?"

    I'm Rand Paul and I approve this message.

    Picture this:

    The scene opens with an ankle-high view of someone walking in cowboy boots. All of a sudden, the person comes across various obstacles in his path. Let's say crony capitalism, government corruption, or whatever issues you may choose. The person then crushes each one of them as he keeps walking. Concluding, the camera slowly moves upward and reveals the person to be Rand Paul. He then says, "I'm Rand Paul, and I am going to crush the obstacles blocking American prosperity, liberty, and security. Now is the time to Defeat the Washington Machine and restore the American Dream."

    Rand Paul should remake this ad, point out Hillary ran it in 2008, and make it about Benghazi.



    "This time there really was a phone call. It was from the U.S. ambassador in Libya. He made phone all after phone call. Because of lack of action from Hillary Clinton he was killed. He initially made his request for help on March 28, 2012. On April 6, 2012 terrorists threw an IED over the embassy walls. On April 19, Hillary Clinton signed a cable back to the embassy saying the request was denied. On September 10th, the head of Al Qaeda openly called for attacks in Libya to avenge the death of his second in command. September 11, 2012, after Hillary Clinton denied multiple requests for additional security, Ambassador Stephens was killed by Al Qaeda. On September 12th, Hillary tried to blame the entire fiasco on anger over a YouTube video. When asked about this obvious lie during senate hearings she responded by saying 'What difference does it make?' Ask yourself this. Do you really want Hillary Clinton manning the Whitehouse phone if she has put your son in harms way?"

    Here's the timeline proving everything I just said and then some.

    Yeah but were any of those phone calls made at 3 A.M?I think her only cell phone is on airplane mode the rest of the day.

    Perhaps Ambassador Stevens got confused by the time difference or by daylight savings time or something.

Ron Paul of Texas, this site is dedicated to facilitating grassroots initiatives that aim to restore a sovereign limited constitutional Republic based on the rule of law, states' rights and individual rights.

    Doing that in a green screen, and wrapping it around balancing the budget and cutting all spending in under 30 seconds would be monumental. It would be costly but just as much of a game changer. Rather than while being just as informative on a youtube video you found roaming the crevices of youtube, is now on a campaign video in realtime in real messaging. +rep
