Yes

I think people should really think about doing this.

Roughly 2 million people pass through Times Square each day and crowds are much larger on the weekends. And those video screens are huge and really stand out.

I strongly encourage people to endorse this project.

Of all the projects that we have created, I think this is one of the most brilliant. I wished I thought of it.

Kudos to vadimg

I just have a couple questions . . .

First off, sounds like a phenomenal idea . . .

- Are we sure $50k is a good price? One drawback of Paul proclaiming they were having trouble finding ways to spend all the money they've got, along with the high visibility of the blimp project -- I just want to make sure they're not scamming the grassroots.

- This will be a Sunday. Presumably that doesn't matter in the big NYC? Is Times Square still hopping all day Sundays? I assume it is, given the shopping season & all, but can we get some testamony from New Yorkers?

Is there any sound from the screens or just vision? It would be cool if there was a "liberty bell" ring for every million raised, or something.

Vadim - you never answered my question in the other thread. Do you have all the FEC crap figured out? Don't you need a PAC?

To answer your questions: for NyC that is a competitive price. Everything in NyC is expensive.

Sunday is very packed with regular New Yorkers and tons of American tourists as well as international tourists. Whether Saturday or Sunday- it's packed with people!

There is no sound on any of the video screens in Times Square. But I guarantee you will remember most of them when you visit because they all stand out.

No there are no sounds on any signs

here is what one yorker says

I'm all in... if you haven't been to Time Square on a sunday afternoon, then you really have no idea how packed that place is with tourists/people

The MSM should/will pick this up.. especially since it will show in real time just how serious we are about winning this thing



There are TONS of people there on the weekend!!! This will definitely get a lot of exposure. Place is like a zoo!!! And I am not kidding!

[Jwaksman]

The weekends are the biggest days in Times Square. Regular New Yorkers basically never go there - most things are tacky and way over priced. So it's people on their vacation, and people tend to vacation on weekends.

[Ronin]

You know, come to think of it. Why can't the campaign just pay for this? We come up with these great ideas, but it seems they are MIA when it comes time to pay up. What's up with that?

As for the PAC, maybe the IA PAC could be used? I forget the name of it.

vadimg,

Couple of things:

1) have you talked to the campaign/Trevor yet?
2) Can you get the chip in to update or get it on the forums home page?
3) Can we have a little bio on you before we donate?

Be sure to digg this to the front page

[literatim]

The official campaign cannot be involved in any of this. It is against FEC regulations.

Let's try this a third time.

You've answered questions posted after me several times now. Are you deliberately ignoring me?

[mstrmac1]

Not trying to be picky, but we need some type of donation updater. People will be more likley to donate when they see progress. We need to see progress.
