Creative??? That lets me out. You did'nt mention grunt work. I am good at that and am willing to be of service and to contribute loot. It would seem like most here would want to participate.
I think they have in mind an ad from 4um in support of Paul.

I work cheap... My thoughts are that we cannot sit back and let someone else do it. Either we have concern for this country and our freedom or we do not. Paul needs all the help he can muster. Like the Founding Fathers he needs good people to answer the call.
I presume you are looking for graphic design people, writers, ad people or whatever to volunteer. Surely we have such here on 4um. Just dont let Jethro be in charge of the GRUNT section.
yes

Few will answer, the many will be known by their absence.
hmmm, too bad you didn't need a soundtrack for a new video.
I'll donate if they can get a ChipIn, or some other online paymaster, or a good mailing address.
You know all the ladies here.
I can give some time and expertise. I have some graphics abilities and good software.
Read New History It might be a good idea to surf around to see what type of political ads work in NH. What do they like to see? What do they want to hear? Tired of negative ads? Tired of the 'status quo'? Short and sweet, with a link to info....or a Smack Down on a single topic. What are they most interested in? Can it be translated into a bumper sticker? (sorry) Can the NH MUG's be engaged to help? "Truth has always been found to promote the best interests of mankind." -- Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792-1822) British poet http://quotes.liberty-tree.ca/quote_blog/Percy.Shelley.Quote.717C Americans, divided we fail. And that's exactly why we are in trouble today. Join me to put our house back in order. It may be our last chance. Hope for America is in your hands.

The purpose of separation of church and state is to keep forever from these shores the ceaseless strife that has soaked the soil of Europe with blood for centuries. James Madison (1751-1836),Father of the Constitution for the USA, 4th US President During the first few days of October, we announced our fundraising goal for the fourth quarter: $12 million raised by December 31. But there's more: we need to have spent it by then, too. If we were to raise the entire $12 million in the last week of December, we would meet our fundraising goal for the quarter. But Ron Paul would stand little chance of winning the Republican nomination, because that money would have come in too late. Time is of the essence. You see, we need to raise money well before we plan to spend it. That's because most of the expenditures that we make need to be paid for weeks in advance. For example, we need to buy crucial airtime for the end of December right now. The sooner we raise this money, the sooner that we can spread Dr. Paul's message - our message - in the early primary states. Time truly is money. Fact is, we only have about two weeks to raise money for the early primaries. If you wait a month from now to donate, your money will only be spent after Iowa caucus-goers and New Hampshire primary voters have made up their minds. We are rapidly running out of time. The Iowa caucus is just 44 days away. New Hampshire is in 49 days. With so much ground to make up, we can't afford to waste a single day. As a result, we are spending faster than the rate at which we are raising money. In October alone, we raised $2.8 million, but our campaign spent over $3.1 million. We cannot afford to wait for bursts of press activity. What we need is sustained attention in the news. What better way to do this than by continuing to raise money at a rapid pace now? We need to keep our momentum going. Help us win in New Hampshire, Iowa, South Carolina, and Nevada. Make your most generous contribution as soon as you can: https://www.ronpaul2008.com/donate.

Jon... Most people are impulse donaters. Something has to TRIGGER that urge to give and whining emails do not serve that purpose. Your donors will RESIST giving if you cry wolf, it wont work. The slicks around Paul will just have to manage, the little people are not cash cows that curry favor from the other candidates.

Another blockbuster day,may not pay the bills now but it is worth a fortune in FREE advertising afterwards. In other words I would trade short comings now for long term gain on the 16th.
No way, those are good!

In other words I would trade short comings now for long term gain on the 16th. You are right on each count. But if I may counter by suggesting, we can not ride the 11/5 success for 3 weeks. The only thing that comes to mind, is to see if the MuG's could coordinate a 'signage' date all over the country.

If one were to aim for the small freebie classifieds, like those found in mini-marts by the door, you might get more bang for the buck plus more coverage to the 'lil people' who read the small classifieds ~ instead of one big ad in one newspaper, you could have one medium ad in a 1/2 dozen papers, across the state. ~ am on a quick lunch break in the middle of a marathon week, but will watch this thread and am willing to pitch in ~ the idea is worth pursuing *s

A failure on the 16th would be trumpeted from coast to coast by the media. that is what happens when one sets time limits and donation goals.

Most Democratic likely voters in Iowa, 55 percent, say they're more interested in a "new direction and new ideas" than in strength and experience, compared with 49 percent in July -- a help to Obama, who holds a substantial lead among "new direction" voters.

Ouch. I read that Obama had a BARACK FRIDAY fund raiser. Was to be the mother of all fundraisers. Bigger than Ron Paul. I think he raked in $5K, from 72 donors. If big biz and the little people aren't actually floating his boat, then the media must be. ???

For those that missed the thread.
My 2 cents .. is a group project but here is my input Not too word.. simple is better.. the Ron Paul Revolution should be on it in some way.. b/c that is the campaign slogan.. also a LARGE photo of Paul would be good IMO
great minds ping

Zip... Brevity of message and the photo as the eye catcher. You and I think alike. Zip, send money. hehehehe
:P I used to make pamphlets and ads when I worked in my former job.. too many words and people get on overload and just move on.. few words... one MAYBE two photos but thats it.. also his name needs to be LARGE for thats what is wanted NAME recognition .. and to connect the slogan to the name
I have been put to work by robin and Christine in the grunt department. They told me there was lots of room for advancement. You think they was funnin me?
I'd like to see an image of the Constitution associated with Ron Paul in an ad.

I like this pic.
I do like the photo w/the flag behind him but still too busy IMO
Zip... Plain, simple and direct for text.
Heres a good photo .. if it's edited .. only w/Ron Paul of course..
Plain, simple and direct for text. I absolutely agree..
You need some creative graphics person from 4um, I think one has volunteered so far. I am handling the grunt work.
That is my favorite also. It could be made less busy by fading the flag to background leaving only region immediately around Ron Paul. Artistically, that would serve to define the negative space around him.
The New Hampshire primary is still not set so you should be ready to go at a moments notice. Usual lead time for most papers is a week.
This is true.. are you able to do it w/ Gimp or another photo editing programs? :)
thanks.. we need to come up with a prototype and the cost so that people can say have their say .. whether they think it's doable or not.. they/we need more info and some ideas ..esp for the text. As well as the photo I think we've got some great input thus far on this.. but would like others to add their say as well..
Some mention of the Constitution would be nice. It IS the only thing that differentiates him from the rest.
Youre exactly right.. how do you think it should be worded?
How about? WE THE PEOPLE, or do we count?
The space would be limited so one dominating thrust must be decided upon.
I'm giving it my best shot. Called to serve a nation that is being erased. One war at a time.
Good idea..!! I was doing a seardh re the Constitution/Ron Paul Here are a few things I found, maybe something could be incorporated? What do you think? I cant get this one to link.. copy and paste it in your browser: http://bp2.blogger.com/_teP8r1POo2M/RzAU3BSkezI/AAAAAAAAAM0/dMecS-T8D9o/s1600-h/strasbourg+tea+party.jpg
The most difficult part of such a venture is deciding what to go with.
Thats why it's good to brain storm .. toss a lot out and see what works :P
I would hope the good people at 4um respond and make this viable financially once a cost is determined.
Zip, Lets put it all on the table and assemble the most powerful aspects. I remember a picture, posted months ago, that was very powerful. Liberty is Calling, I think it was called. It was a Sillouette of men, on a hill, backed by blue lighting. They were sillouetes of soldiers from different wars. It might be nice to see it again, to determine what strenghth we can draw from it. 2012? Do you remember this. I see you post many images, and are betting you can identify, and perhaps help find it to post here. Zip. Speaking for myself, I am humbled, shamed and inspired, by the images that have been buried from our eyes and hearts. Those things that helped define what was good, who many of us think we are supposed to be. To get down to the brass tacks, we may never see another candidate, so grounded, as we have in Ron Paul. It would be a shame, to skip lightly, over a last chance.
Twenty I like that one.
Thanks.
Doesn't work for me. He's not anti-war.
Peppa... We are on the verge of a total dictatorship and the sheep are asleep.
I absolutely agree.. What needs to be determined IMHO is what message to we want to convey.. and what portrays that message the most simply.. and I do also agree that this well may be the last change..
Heres quite a few ideas :P
Your 115 is excellent. the tie would have to be reworked and the text shortened.

I like this one! I hope that 2012 can find the one pic I am referring to, so at least you all can see it and respond. I really like the idea of people in the equation of the message. As you guys have already mentioned, the message needs to be crisp. The imagery also needs to be gripping.
I agree we HAVE been.. the only problem w/that is..that 90% of the country have no clue what that means.. I mentioned neocons at work one day and only one person out of a huge group of people had any clue what I was talking about.
We are on the verge of a total dictatorship and the sheep are asleep. Yes, And it seems, shock will not shock. I'm banking on something else, that lives in all hearts.

What North American Union? Have you seen THIS yet? Pass it around...
Hmmm, that is the question isn't it. I watch the polls and I see the same thing happening in this election that happened in the Grange. I left the Grange but I cna't leave my country. Voters hate what is going on, want change but then vote the same ole crowd into office.
Why did you leave the Grange?
What North American Union? Have you seen THIS yet? Pass it around...
My 0.02 cents worth is try to minimize the anti-war aspect. You know Paul is against it as it stands and the subset of Paul followers who are against it don't need the message. In the instance of the anti-war message the concept also has the negative aspect of providing it's own counter-arguement, i.e. opponents and the media tend to be able to make hay on him with this subject so focusing on his strict constructionist leanings avoids providing fodder for his detractors. You're selling Paul and what he stands for so you want to cast the net outside of the subset of the core followers. The core is pretty tight here, most everyone on the forum, and I assume among Paul supporters in general, aren't the types who are gonna need a squalling, fear-or-promises, TV ad in their face every hour 3 days before election day to remind them who to vote for. There will be a couple of demographics that are going to be fertile ground in target areas. Off the top of my head, I'd figure New Hampshire to have say, a good chunk of young single professionals and the same but married and just starting a family. What about Paul and the Constitution appeals to these people? Not beating down their door over a bag of weed? Not watching their nascent savings and wealth evaporate under the onslaught of FED play money? Not having their children co-opted from under them in Federally managed school programs? Not being taxed to death? etc... I'll try to follow up with a few ideas, it's a "school day" tomorrow :-) and I've got to crash...
It is not without travails to exist solely within the 520-565nm band of the visible spectrum...
Not too word.. simple is better.. the Ron Paul Revolution should be on it in some way.. b/c that is the campaign slogan.. also a LARGE photo of Paul would be good IMO Ideally you want to reach new public OR enegergize existing public to get out and vote. Working on the assumption you want to reach new public then you want to survey the target public and identify what is important to them i.e., which of Ron Paul's positions have the greatest common ground which equals greater reach. I think "FOH" had the idea right here - based on the Survey Alex Jones commissioned from Zogby. #2. To: TwentyTwelve (#0) Monday, November 19, 2007 A new nationwide Zogby telephone poll reveals that a sizeable majority of Americans are looking to vote for a candidate who protects liberty, wants to shrink government and immediately withdraw troops from Iraq - all traits common to Texas Congressman Ron Paul. There's your billboard... Dr. Ron Paul - *Pro-Liberty *Much smaller government *Bring the troops home One could work with adding just a little but you want to keep it simple, direct, and to hit the known "buttons". Dr. Ron Paul - *Pro-Liberty - Will Defend the Constitution *Much smaller government - Get Washington back Under Control *Bring the troops home - Alive "How many surrealists does it take to screw in a light bulb? One to hold the giraffe and one to fill the bathtub with brightly colored power tools." - Unk.
Long story. Too much pain. Sadly at the same time I was not backed up by my friends. I went through a spell where it was coming at me from all directions. I felt alone and abonded by everyone. When you are ready to be upfront with me you let me know, otherwise stay the hell away from me because I am not emotionally able to handle more pain right now.
I hope that Americans wake up before it is too late.
I hope so too but it didn't happen in the Grange and I have no faith in the general voter.
Most Americans still believe in the two party system. It has been a one party charade by and for the elite for a very long time.

That one is kick ass.... I like that one as well.
i agree!
enlisting your help please...OI, can you design a prototype? time is getting short and i'd really like to get going on this. thanks very much. ;)
I'm on it. The little Gray Cells are percolating. I can put some time on it this morning (I'm in PST). I have a few ideas. I'll post a couple of images for brainstorming here in a minute once I load them up onto an image host.

Ron Paul billboard in Indiana It is on the eastbound side of I-70 at the 40.5 mile marker. That is about 1/2 way between Terre Haute, Indiana and Indianapolis.
LOL. You had me at Barack Friday. Hehehe.
Ditto.
wow, how did I mis this ping? hmmmm....
I may need one for a video I'm gonna make soon.
I think the letter was responding to what seemed to be organized efforts to keep people from donation before the 16th of December. There is a lot of that shit going on out there.
I don't know how much creativity I could add to the mix, but do send me a ping when you're collecting funds. Is this a newspaper ad or a billboard? I was thinking that an add that demonstrates RP is closer to the Republican platform than the others would be good. He's said he won't run third party and he needs Republican support. IMHO, highlighting his conservative record, proving he's the only conservative on the ballot would be a good spin. We need the Republican backing now, afer we get that we can go after the Dems. And I've got a copy of a great ad this guy ran in our local paper putting RP's record on many issues up against Hillary and Obama. But alas, we have to get the Reps now. Family values, no divorces, no lobby work, no taxes, no all Constitution all the time.
I know people who make great livings by advertising their services in those itty bitty free paper classifieds instead of the larger ads. More people read through those little ads looking for bargains, than read the big ads. I am going to put your GREAT idea to work here in my little town. And I am going to spread it around to all the meetups of which I am a member. (I joined all of the largest in the country so I can spam them with great ideas. :p )
check out the RP billboard in IN
hehehehe
Sorry I'm tardy - I've been sick and working a lot. These are two of my favorite images. I like the idea of a "Spirit of '76" motif. It is iconic and cuts across boundaries. For most people I think ending the IRS is simply beyond their level of reality, but ending the war and promoting the spirit of liberty are not. I like things simple that communicate. One tag line I thought up, which I like, seems to meet the criteria. Rev Battle Line: "How many surrealists does it take to screw in a light bulb? One to hold the giraffe and one to fill the bathtub with brightly colored power tools." - Unk.
Sorry to hear that. I hope you are now well.
Help us nominate Congressman Ron Paul! Paid for by the members of www.Freedom4um.Com. Not affiliated with the Ron Paul campaign. For more information about Ron Paul, visit his website at www.ronpaul2008.com. Here's my contribution to the idea. With a little tweaking, I think it might be good.
Good work Critter!!!
Thanks! I figure we can't get too fancy in the average newspaper. It's not like they are running an 8 color press on premium glossy stock. Simple, black and white, to the point. Some rewording may be necessary or some talking points replaced with others, but I think something like this is the best way to go.
eye-catching pictures! Hope you're feeling much better.

the size of the ad we're looking at is 4x6 so we will need to keep it short and simple. i like the hillary reference very much. the text on the side may not be necessary? OI, the graphics you chose are very nice and meaningful to us, but i think the ad should include a photo of Ron Paul for those readers who may not know of him.
A bit off topic, but does ANYONE know what is going on with the link to the 'Tea Party' at the bottom of every thread? I've been getting 'Service Unavailable' for a couple of days now...this is really a bad time for this site to be crashing...
It works for me

I just clicked it, and it STILL says 'Service Unavailable'. I'm not the only one...LOTS of people complaining at various Ron Paul forums. It might be a browser issue...
Interesting...doesn't work with Firefox; does work with IE. HMmm...
i was having issues with it, but now it's fine for me. i think there was a problem at the source site..
"They must find it difficult... Those who have taken authority as the truth, rather than truth as the authority." ~ Gerald Massey
Not bad - better than my feeble efforts. You have better layout tools too. Given Hitlery's high negatives even among the Dem's makes the case as to how stark the choice is. I still like my "tag line" though - tweaking it: "In The Spirit of Liberty - Ron Paul '08". My reasoning being that one of the high positives of Ron Paul is his adherence to the Constitution and Jeffersonian principles. That is a connection that seems to run consistently through his appeal. Perhaps across the the bottom 2 font sizes up from the basic text. I would bring the the votes against the Patriot Act and the Real ID closer to the top - just under the opposition to the war. My reasoning being that we want to establish a connection with people who are not yet Ron Paul Voters. In the same vein I would suggest bringing the Bill of Rights up to the number 2 slot under Bring home the troops immediately. Also as a suggestion would be to add a little to it i.e., "Honor the Consitution and Restore the Bill of Rights". That of course connects with the "In The Spirit of Liberty" tag line.

Thanks - getting better but still short on energy although the congestion is slowly clearing out. I love the Advancing Battle Line picture - it just seems to capture the spirit of what we are trying to do - a rag tag band with more spirit than money and a leader who actually leads bravely. Not like some Chickenhawk Psycho who is a wannabe leader like Duhbya.

Thank you for the gracious comment. I agree. I still love the advancing Battle Line though - it just captures the entire spirit of our endeavor - for me anyway. Although I agree it might be a bit grandiose for a nuts and bolts ad.

4X6? 4X6? What a bunch of cheap fuggers. hehehe I thought we were talking a full page here. :p
4 x 6 is about $1200 6 x 8 .........$2400
Wow, that much? Which paper?
I figured someone would have some ideas on what should go where, and what should stay and what should go. I just figured I'd toss an idea out there. I like your suggestions, but now, we only have 4X6 to work with so I will have to take it back to the drawing board. That will have to wait for tomorrow night I guess. Thanks!
Manchester Union Leader. New Hampshire. Sunday circulation is entire state, 250,000 copies. That translates to over 300,000 readers.
Sounds good to me. :) I'll tinker with my thing tomorrow night, make it 4X6 and incorporate the suggestions made here tonight. I'll post it for all to critique. :)
LMAO! I am old and my eyes don't like small print. So I have my browser displaying 4um in pretty large text. My layout was done with html and the large text and everything looked great, nice and even and lined up perfectly. So just now, I was fiddling with my browser text size, and when I looked at it then, it looked awful. So are you folks all blind like me using large text or were you just being kind? lmfao!
it does for me too.
i have my font size on maxthon set on large too.
excellent suggestions..now, since the ad is limited to 4x6, will the text be too tiny to see?
I can make RP smaller to accomodate text I think, but I am too tired now. Just got done making www.ronpaulforumny.com/ The new york meetups were looking for a place to coordinate.
Well A combo of your and Wudidiz's thoughts would be workable. By dropping the picture down to the size Wudidiz used and, if your software allows you do do it, putting the Hitlery message in a single banner across the top, and then condensing the points down to just the key one's, as per the survey thread, then it can be done.
"How many surrealists does it take to screw in a light bulb? One to hold the giraffe and one to fill the bathtub with brightly colored power tools." - Unk.
We may have to do some pruning. Certainly the anti-war, and pro-Bill of Rights should stay. While eliminating the FED is important to those of us already aware of the bigger issues moving the current scene to someone not up on it abolishing the FED, even if they know what it is, is an issue who's significance would, from simple lack of knowledge, elude them. Condensing it down to a list like Wudidiz's would work within the size limitations.

RE: The ad imo, the most effective ads/ movements don't begin with a negative. hillery is a negative. Something like: "On January 8th, let us nominate the man who can restore our country to truth, principle and freedom." is better.
My personal feeling is that people don't read newspaper ads unless something grabs their attention. I think the Hillary reference does that. Once we have their attention, she is never mentioned again, only positives about RP. However, I am not an expert.
Critter, About the "calling the campaign" suggestion, is the national campaign really equiped to handle lots of incoming calls at that number? And, might the number for the Ron Paul Headquarters in New Hampshire be better, since that is probably where the actual on the ground campaign organizing in NH is taking place?
Check out my blog, America, the Bushieful.
Help us nominate Ron Paul! Personally, I think this part is too busy. Perhaps simplify/streamline it? Maybe delete 'according to the polls'? (not really necessary?) Also, 'nominate' shouldn't be used twice in two sentences, imho. Using two colors, say, red and blue on the white background could improve it's appeal? I dunno, I might be wrong, but those are my thoughts. Otherwise, it still looks great!
"They must find it difficult... Those who have taken authority as the truth, rather than truth as the authority." ~ Gerald Massey
The Hillary reference is genius. RP will take up residence in the average GOP Partybot's head with that hook. It's the only true thing about Paul that could possibly persuade a hidebound Republican party hack to do the right thing.
Check out my blog, America, the Bushieful.
i agree. it grabs my attention and makes me think, yes, RP is the only republican who can beat hillary. i think that will resonate with GOP voters because that is their biggest fear.
lmao! Maybe I should add a "why waste your vote on someone who can't win? Like Giuliani, or Romney, etc..."
You're perfect.

Paul said, "The statement earlier made that we all went to Washington to change Washington, Washington changed us. I don't think that applies to me. Washington did not change me. I would have liked to have changed Washington." Paul eventually answered a question from Emily in Los Angeles who asked specifically which federal programs the candidates would cut in order to reduce spending. "By cutting three programs such as the Department of Education, Ronald Reagan used to talk about that, Department of Energy. Department of Homeland Security is the biggest bureaucracy we ever had," Paul said. Wonder if we say, Let's help Ron Paul change Washington.

I was just looking at that. :)
Also, 'nominate' shouldn't be used twice in two sentences, imho. I disagree. "According to the polls" provides a foundation for and strengthens the claim. As for the parallel sentence structure of "Help us nominate", that makes emphatic that RP and the "only candidate who can defeat her, according to the polls" are, indeed, one and the same. So, I don't mind it. I also think the Freedom4um part stood out more when it was the only unbolded text. Maybe bolding Freedom4um.com only would be better (if you want it bolded). Finally, there is a capital "C" in the second "Freedom4um.Com".
Check out my blog, America, the Bushieful.
Please ping me when the shooting begins :)
We're dealing in black and white newsprint, right? I was operating under that assumption. I think color costs more. I could asterisk the claim, and put "*according to polls blah blah blah" at the bottom somewhere.
I think you're right. I was just tinkering, will go back to old way.
BANG
Critter I believe was in color. May I say you have done very well with this.
A new version: Great job!
more color
There are now two sample version I have whipped up: and We can use either, or parts of either, colorize the first, etc. We need a "decider". I know, GWB is the decider, but... Seriously though, we need someone to officially approve a copy, because everyone has an opinion, we could be here for a year trying to accommodate them all.

Not bad at all, and I'll pony up. But why does it have to start off like every other Republican ad? I get phone calls all the time from groups and candidates asking "Do you want Hillary to be president?" Of course the answer is no, but I always tell them that I think it's more important decide what you are for, and that any money I have is going to Paul, not them. I do understand it has to be acceptable to the paper, too. But I'm wondering how effective that opening really is anymore with the Republican base. Paul is not just another Republican, and for me the headline detracts from that.

Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as FREEDOM should not be highly rated. ..."
~ Thomas Paine from "The American Crisis"

Was looking around for a specific quote. I still haven't found it, but collected these gems to share.
They have always taught and trained you to believe it to be your patriotic duty to go to war and to have yourselves slaughtered at their command. But in all the history of the world you, the people, have never had a voice in declaring war, and strange as it certainly appears, no war by any nation in any age has ever been declared by the people.
Our duty, as men and women is to proceed as if limits to our ability did not exist. We are collaborators in creation.
Our duty, as men and women is to proceed as if limits to our ability did not exist. We are collaborators in creation.
The man who does not do his own thinking is a slave, and is a traitor to himself and his fellow men.
The brave man inattentive to his duty, is worth little more to his country than the coward who deserts her in the hour of danger.

My 2 cents .. is a group project but here is my input
VOTE FOR RON PAUL (You don't ask you state what is desired.)
If you have a phototgenic candidate, as Dr. Paul is, then yes a Photo is a plus because it adds to the reality faction i.e., puts a face with the positions.

But are you a part of the Republican base? I think the Republican base is scared to death of Hillary. People like us who already know and believe in Ron Paul don't need to be sold. We have to sell it to the base. Since not many of us are part of the Republican "base", our opinion really doesn't matter, does it? What we have to do is figure out how to turn the opinion of those who do matter. I guess what I am saying is that we have to figure out the best way to reach the people who don't already believe in Ron Paul.

Maybe the RNC knows that it works, so that is why they use it? I have to assume that they spent about half a billion dollars studying what works. lol And we are competing against them for the same potential voter. It's like when I was trying to decide on a design for my window stickers and yard signs for my alarm business. I looked at the design of the nation's largest company, ADT, and said to myself, "Well if they can go with one color, blue, on a white background, why should I do anything fancier?" I should think they studied the issue long and hard before they settled for their design.
But why does it have to start off like every other Republican ad?

I like the ad but there's a part of me that worries - like Tauzero and a few others do - that using the fear tactic against Hillary alone is not the full picture. And are we certain that there are "numerous" polls that show RP beating Hillary? The other "enemies" of America are the RINO's and NEOCONs. Also the reference to the income tax thingie worries me in the sense that it's not a realistic goal for a Prez to accomplish or even set in motion. Ron Paul would not increase income taxes - that's for sure and that's what people would like to hear - but doing away with the IRS is a stretch - it almost makes him sound pie in the sky frivolous. a. I think we could keep the are you scared of President Hillary in. But if we could also incorporate the fear of being betrayed by yet another RINO Neocon candidate that would speak to both concerns of GOP delegates...maybe in the text that follows in smaller print: Or another RINO in the Oval Office? then "Do those images scare you" b. Also in the paragraph that follows, I'd say "We are asking you to vote for the only candidate who can beat Hillary Clinton in a general election and who will put America First and who will stay true to the Constitution. c. On the left side of RP's photo I'd delete the income tax abolishment phrase and replace it with "Work to downsize government agencies" or something to that effect. d. Also on the right side of his photo, I'd delete "never voted for an unbalanced budget" - kind of redundent to the other stuff you have about taxes. Instead I'd put in "Is not beholden to any special interest lobby groups"
I guess what I am saying is that we have to figure out the best way to reach the people who don't already believe in Ron Paul.

Along those lines, I would be much less specific about what Paul will do. The more specific you are, the more you give people reason to not support him. Just give them the URL and 800 number. Eliminate the negative (the things I listed. Can't be a long list.) Accentuate the positive. And the positive is Paul himself. I'm a small-f fascist myself, so I know I'm right on this.

I'd also delete "secure our borders" - repetitive to stop illegal immigration and instead include "stop foreign aid and use it to help America instead". Also I think Tauzero's idea about "putting a doctor in the White House" is good if it can be incorporated into the text - folks are tired of lawyers getting into the WH. Also mentioning that RP is a Vet ( and supported by the military) would be good to appeal to those delegates who are vets themselves.

"By cutting three programs such as the Department of Education, Ronald Reagan used to talk about that, Department of Energy. Department of Homeland Security is the biggest bureaucracy we ever had," Paul said. - CNN Associate Producer Natalie Apsell

I'm thinking we need to take a break here and re-evaluate the ad. Considering the endorsement of the paper, and the desire to keep it simple. If the ad is too busy, it will be lost. IMO. Critter. You are to be commended for stepping up to the challenge, and working your fingers to the bone for RP. ***APPLAUSE SIGN****!!!!! I love the new pic of RP, it's a good one, and more current. Personally, I like it. That will make about 4 times I've put in my 2cents in 8 hours. (grin) Ron Paul is the PEOPLE's CANDIDATE. Perhaps it's best to stay away from Hillary, Liberal , Conservative, and all those labels that have been purposefully perverted into various meanings to different people. Pauls words seem to work best for him. Works for me. Maybe a breather and have some fun to recharge the batteries?

Outstanding!!! What an excellent ad you have created. Thank you. You are my hero of the day.
#517. To: angle, Critter, christine, lodwick (#464)
I'm slightly reminded here of the scene in Office Space where the guys look up money laundering in the dictionary. ;) For libertarians, the candidate is a means to the issues. But for most of the electorate, the issues are the means to a man. Libertarians often can't get their heads around this fact of life or refuse to follow the implications. So, with that advisement, here's my idea of a perfect Paul ad: Start with four pictures across the top, each with a term underneath. 1) Pic: Protesting Mexicans. Caption: Illegal Immigration. 'nuff said. 2) Pic: White family guy sweating over tax forms. Caption: Taxes. Now, I hate to break this to civil libertarians, but it's really hard to fight directly against the "Patriot" Act. Who doesn't want to be a patriot? (Well, we know who, but we can't say.) But fucking nobody likes to be searched by the police. So 3) Pic: Sharply dressed black businesswoman getting a hard time at the airport. Looks distressed. Caption: Searches. We link searches with mistreating non-threatening black women. And we'll pick up a few frequent fliers, nudge-nudge. 4) Pic: Amputee Iraq vet in a hospital bed. Caption: War. Bonus association: By placing searches right next to war, we link war with searches. Below this, big letters: "Is there a Doctor in the White House?" Big picture of Paul. "No. But there will be." We say the presidency is sick. Dr. "No" association, for those who know it. And we directly contradict the idea that he can't win. Then we tell 'em in big letters what we wan't 'em to do: "Vote for Dr. Ron Paul for President in the Jan 8 2008 Republican primary." We've repeated the Doctor theme, and given them a simple, easy command. And that's all you say. You definitely don't say, for example, that he'll eliminate the income tax. Even most people who think that's a good idea think it's impossible. Tell 'em that face-to-face and they dismiss you as a nut, or agree with you but not actually change their behavior. So whaddya do? You make 'em work for it. Give them the URL and toll-free number. As soon as they've invested even the tiniest bit of effort, they're more likely to give the idea a fair hearing. They'll be reluctant to admit to themselves that they've wasted their effort. Ain't I right gals? Don't you have to hold a little bit back? God I feel dirty.
I've had a little more time to think about this.

I don't see 4um as a Republican website. I see it as a place where all points of view are welcome, except for annoying a-holes, and they get plenty of slack ;). I just think that it's clear that REPUBLICANS are sick of REPUBLICANS, and all the idiotic tricks they pull to put their boy in office. Ron Paul, isn't one of their boys. I completely understand that the Hillary fear IS ingrained in some, but I question their mental competence anyway if they are voting REPUBLICAN because of Hillary. LOL! Last, I just don't see RP as a negative ad sort of guy. I'm in, regardless. I don't know squat about how NH people really think, but I was encouraged yesterday when I heard 60% of likely voters were still undecided. Add that with the RP ground team, and I feel a little giddy!!! Hillary or McCain are keepers of the status quo, as we all know. That newspaper seems to be pretty right-wing. So hitting Hillary might just be what the doctor ordered. Heck if I know.
it will make readers want to know who us is. i think the ad does two things which is our goal. it advertizes Ron Paul and Freedom4um both.

I took a break. And I have re-evaluated the colorized hillary ad, and here's what I think. I think Ron Paul speaks the truth, plain and simple and clear. So does the hillary ad. It is the truth, plain and clear and simple. If anyone other that RP is nominated, hillary will be the next president. I don't think it is a scare tactic. It is a truth tactic. It tells a truth that just happens to be scary. But I am not the decider. I am just giving my opinion.
#541. To: Esso (#538)
5% of the eligible voters turn out for primaries. RP supporters are motivated and will turn out. If RP is polling at 5% of the "likely" primary voters who have voted in past primaries,and then you take into account the hundreds of thousands, if not millions of new voters RP has brought into the fold, the math tells me RP wins em all in landslides.

I think it's great just the way it is.
the only thing I see that I would change, is the doubling up of issues in the left hand column. the "Bill of Rights" and "2nd Amendment" issues are esentially the same thing, as are the "immigration" and "Border" issues. maybe, if one or both of those, could be rolled into one and the addition of restoring sound money/monitary policy and the foreign policy issue would cover more points in the same space?

I'm sure there's a way to clean that up. I'm not so sure about that. One of the attacks on RP is that he is weak on terrorism. (I don't think there is a credible threat here, but some do believe there is.) Stopping illegal immigration is one issue, securing the borders to keep out the boogey men terrorists is another, so I think both are important and independent.

yeah, I see how you mean they're independent of each other, which is fine the way it is. I was just thinking that Ron's position on it is that you can't really accomplish one without the other, so they are interconnected. aren't they? also, Ron's main issue that any corrections in our inherent downslide have to start with foreign and monetary policy reform. true, both would be clarified in further reading of RP's platform pages, just wouldn't want to leave out his main point to the root cause of this country's problems.

" Now the first step appears to have been taken. Lyman and associates have formed an advertising company, Liberty Advertising, to sell sponsored political ads on behalf of Ron Paul. The ads would appear on a blimp that is being rented by supporters of the campaign, but who are not directly affiliated with it. See website and announcement below: ===== www.ronpaulblimp.com/index.php We have formed an advertising company, Liberty Advertising. Liberty Advertising is selling political advertisements that you can sponsor. Right now we are selling advertising time for Ron Paul, primarily on the Ron Paul Blimp. You can buy as much ad time as you like. When the advertising time you sponsored ends the next customer's advertising time begins (until their time runs out)...and the process repeats for as long as the advertisement's sponsorship lasts. The ad is a blimp, but you can also think of it as a floating billboard. It will fly for six hours per day generating advertising and publicity while on the ground as well as in the air. Blimp sponsors, the local media and nearby residents will be able to gather at landing sites to tour the blimp. Those with tickets will board for rides. Informal blimp parties will be organized at scheduled stops around the country as the blimp makes its way to key destinations for maximum public exposure. If there is anything about this advertisement that is not explained to your satisfaction here please check our FAQ's or email us at: inquiries@RonPaulBlimp.com"

From the 'HERE WE GO AGAIN' department: The Des Moines register will run a series of examinations into candidates' positions on the important issues of the day. They are choosing only 6 candidates from each party, and they chose to cover Tom Tancredo over Dr. Paul. Picking six on the Republican side was less clear-cut, but the deciding factor was time spent in Iowa. An example: At mid-week, Tom Tancredo had made 85 campaign stops in Iowa this year, five times as many as Ron Paul, who didn't make the cut. Tancredo trails only Mitt Romney and is about even with Mike Huckabee in number of stops. Deciding whom to support involves more than running down a checklist of issues, of course. Experience, vision and credibility will factor in, too. But we hope our examinations of the candidates' stands on these key issues will help you in making your selection of the right leader for this pivotal time. Maybe this ad needs to be placed in the Register, instead...

n/p. I used to get so much info from that channel. what a waste that Comcast killed it off after the merger with G4. all the video editing/creation progs for linux that I look into on SourceForge have a ton of bugs. know of any good ones?

All it takes is practice. I'm not a geek. In 1998 I didn't know what html was. I did a google on it. Tried a few minor things, then got a little fancier, and then fancier. Then I had to work with images. So I got a free download of Serif Photo Plus 6, and fiddled with that. Sure it was a pain to find my way, but eventually I did. Then I upgraded a few times, but never to the latest version. I always bought the sale copy of the previous version, so I have a grand total of $40 invested, I think. Serif has a support forum, so when I run into a brick wall trying to create an effect, I would post it there and get an answer in short order. I haven't used it in a while, but I bet it is still active.

Not that I know much about it but people who do know like Gimp (a LOT). I use Linux (pclinuxos 2007 final release, started out as a beta tester on .92). I like most of the programs in Linux, the ones I actually use, and find them as good or better than anything in Windows. I switched to Linux two or two and a half years ago, something like that anyway, and I don't miss Windows a bit.
#582. To: Critter (#580) (Edited)
Thanks Critter. Do you know anything about Gimp? That is what I have (that and some other things--I have had a LITTLE success with showfoto but it isn't complicated). Here is something I did with showfoto and ksnapshot (screenshot of my computer). edited to shrink size a bit
#583. To: James Deffenbach (#582)
You did that? And you're saying you have trouble with photo manipulating? lol
#584. To: Critter (#583)
Well, thank you for the kind words but showfoto is not complicated, not like Gimp or Photoshop.

You did that work of art on showfoto?
#586. To: Critter (#585)
Yes. It's been a while but that is what I did it with. I posted it one time on a linux board I used to post on and one of the moderators who hated me for reasons unknown removed it and claimed that it was a copyright violation. He was the only guy on that board that I ever had any real problems with, but then he didn't hate just me, he hated almost everyone. Had one of the worst attitudes you could imagine for a moderator. I don't post there anymore and haven't in a long time.

Thank you, you are too kind. It was no big deal and just did it through trial and error. I haven't fooled with it much since I did that one so there would probably be lots of trials to do it again.

A few suggested revisions: 1) The line "They scare us. That is why we need your help." should be "They scare us, which is why we need your help." 2) The line "We are asking that you vote..." should be "We ask that you vote..." (active is always better than passive) or "We urge you to vote..." (for more emphasis) 3) The line "...for the only candidate worthy of your trust, and who can beat Hillary Clinton in the general election, according to numerous public opinion polls" is clumsy because it does not clearly state that RP is the only candidate who can beat Hillary. How about "...for the only candidate worthy of your trust and able to beat Hillary Clinton in the general election, according to numerous public opinion polls."

You might like this one--I didn't take the time I should have to change the color of the lettering but I should have. Mainly I just wanted to see if I remembered how to do what I did with the other one. If you can't make out what it says under the pic it says "Ghetto Chicks."

I have gimp,too, but that's for photo editing. have been looking for something to do video with, either cross-platform OS or linux, as I'm using fedora7. the only program I miss is DVDdecrypter, which is winOS only, since 7 doesn't come with Wine but f6 did. looks more like I'll have to go that route and see how a video editor works in Wine.
#598. To: James Deffenbach (#592)
hahahaha... xclnt!
#599. To: hammerdown (#597)
I don't know if they have what you're looking for or not but you might want to check out pclinuxos 2007. I like it a lot and has LOTS of programs in the repository.

Same file name. You may have to do a reload to see changes.

I've got the PCLOS-GNOME-2.18.0 version that I've run live and am planning on installing on my second drive when I can get around to clearing what I need off of it. I like some of the KDE apps, like K3b, Amarok and Kword, but don't really care for the KDEdesktop enviro. maybe it's just quirky on fedora but I prefer the feel of gnome.
#604. To: hammerdown (#603)
Yeah, a friend who helped me set mine up is also a gnome heretic. j/k, it's all what you get used to I reckon.

I think I am going to by a new computer and try running linux on it to get a feel for it.
#606. To: christine (#602)
Time for a new thread then, I guess?
#607. To: Critter (#606)
yes, i'll do it tomorrow a.m.
#608. To: Critter (#605)
cool. the debian based distro's have the best repositories/selection of programs. only one thing about linux that hasn't caught up... no one seems to be able to port shockwave player yet. adobe flash plug-in only. : (

Sometimes critter amazes me.
yes, i'll do it tomorrow a.m.
#610. To: hammerdown (#608)
I don't even know what a linux desktop would look like? Is it something like windows or is it more like a dos environment?
#611. To: Critter (#610) (Edited)
oh, they're mostly all GUI now. there's some things like mods to the updater config files that you do in a terminal/shell as root, but just about all the old command line stuff has graphic front end now so it is friendlier to win users to change over. [screenshots] plus, most have a live CD/DVD so you can run it from RAM without installing it. it's a good way to check for hardware compatibility before it gets installed and you find out it doesn't have a driver to match your soundcard or something. the live CD/DVD iso files are usually free for most distro's, just like the full OS iso. some, like ubuntu, can be installed from the live disc. just burn it, put it in you cd rom and reboot.
#612. To: hammerdown (#611)
Interesting. Thanks! I may try burning a CD and using it on an old machine I have here, just for fun.
#613. To: Critter (#612)
try this one. I use it to rescue all the data from my xp drive when it decided not to boot anymore, even after trying several restore options, was able to mount the xp drive and transfer everything that needed to be saved to an external usb drive. it's very handy, runs on anything.
#614. To: Critter (#605)
Critter, I think you will love Linux and I am almost certain of it if you get the right one. While I am very partial to the one I use there are many "flavors" of Linux from sizes you can put on a floppy disk to full-blown commercial versions with thousands of programs. And http://frozentech.com/ is a good source to see how many different versions are available. If you get them from frozentech there is a small fee but you can download the iso file from just about any of them listed and burn the file to your own cd. That is how I got mine.

And you might want to check out distrowatch to give you some idea of the pros and cons of different ones. And an idea as to how popular each one is (but that should never be the sole criteria--the guy behind Ubuntu is a millionaire and ships them free all over the world and thus it is rated highly; but I tried a derivative of Ubuntu one time and didn't like it at all).
