Jeremiah Black TV Ads in iowa close midnight tonight
Hi Everyone,
Just as a temporary update. Funds are still able to come in through chipin and google donations until early tomorrow morning. I put up a temporary target of midnight to try and hit the 15k. If we hit 20k that would give us intro into more morning tv news shows. Once we get the final numbers we can post the buy and lock in the loadings. We will try then to post back to everyone on the site what the purchase picked up.
Reminder for ad posting locations:

Thanks everyone for the funding efforts so far.
Circulation plan currently
Central iowa-All ads shown to run through jan 2.
christian parent ad to replace Jeremiah ad 1 on Dec 24th.
Will post loading report from buyer as soon as he sends it to us on operationnh.org site.
Eastern iowa-Targetting Bo Thompson, Something Big, Ad 1-4 Jeremiah. Dependant on support we may drop an ad or reshuffle the buy tomorrow morning if we can not reach 15k. If we do then we will post up the eastern iowa loadings for everyone to see as soon as the buyer sends it to us.
I've been trying to figure out
why there is a lack of interest in this, seems like something people have asked for and everyone seems to like the ads.
There isn't even interest on commenting on the thread I started asking why people were not donating to Operation New Hampshire :)
Many people on this site seem very fixated on "Money Bombs" to the official campaign.
Maybe its to late for Iowa, but that doesn't mean we cant get these ads running in other states, there are more Jan. primaries than just Iowa and New Hampshire.
Come on people!

Please keep donating
We still have the other early primary states to fund for these TV ads. If you have not seen them yet, go take a look, here: www.OperationNH.com
Please help.
To Jeremiah Black
Thank you so much for creating these. They are flat out, wonderful! I am behind you 100%. Please keep them coming.
Speaking of Iowa---HELP HELP EMERGENCY!!
Everyone's help desperately needed. If you are dying to pitch in somewhere but don't know what to do with yourself please know that there is an voter registration emergency in IOWA TODAY that needs EVERYONE'S HELP.
The deadline to register to vote in IOWA WAS this MONDAY DECEMBER 24th! That's Christmas Eve and the county courthouses are CLOSED MONDAY. TODAY is the real deadline!!! Register to vote republican in person TODAY at your County Auditor's Office in IOWA. NOBODY KNOWS THIS!
The WHOLE NATION of Ron Paul supporters must reach out to Iowa by any and all means TODAY before this afternoon when the county auditor office closes!
Iowa is a closed primary state. You MUST be registered republican and although those who are already registered to vote supposedly MAY be able to change party affiliation at the caucus be aware that the GOP website in Iowa calls Bush the best president ever and they consider Rush Limbaugh and Michael Medved visionaries and they may try to pull something. Go IN PERSON during business hours to your county auditor's office TODAY and register republican. SPREAD NEWS OF THIS in Meetups, Youtube video comments, myspace & forums. Somebody forward this to the GENERAL!
Somebody tell the ronpaul 1100!
jblackpost...there is NO need for your ads to lack funding
I made some comments here, on a different thread, about the lack of adequate funding for your ads and the campaign advertising in general.
Then I took the topic and announcement of tonight's deadline to ronpaulforums.com and stirred the pot. Now they are up around 8 pages of comments http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?t=62179&page=8
and more than a few people, including I, have donated. My guess is you've got another $2-3K now, if your ticker worked right.
My point - or points - are in that thread, but the REAL point is that there are PLENTY of people who are willing to donate or "moneybomb" you and your ads. YOU MOSTLY JUST NEED TO SPEAK UP. Ideally, personally, as you have now, here.
Please do that TOMORROW and get connected to whomever you need to get connected to, in order to make one of a few things happen: Either (1) campaign headquarters wakes up and gives you sufficient support or (2) people cause a firestorm of protest until whoever is directing ad money at headquarters is replaced (this should clearly happen anyway, as the current situation is inexcusable and is costing us dearly) or (3) some system is worked out to get you the pulpit and financial support you need.
BUT MOST OF ALL THE OUTCOME IS UP TO YOU. I can squawk and get a few more donors but, the fact is, I have no credibility such as you have. YOU need to speak up and start your own thread or, at least, show up regularly to lend credibility to threads which concern you.
Thanks for your efforts.

It could have something to do with the fact that I and another person, sent out over 75 emails to Meetup organizers about this tonight, too. ;)
Perhaps you're right
Yeah, I don't usually do that sort of thing. I have no experience asking for money, and I'm not terribly comfortable with it. Also, to be honest, I pretty much completely divorced from the business side of these commercials. I wrote and directed the commercials, but the website, the PAC, the states, the timeslots, the airtime costs, and all that stuff is seperate from me. In short, I'm the creative guy who makes product. The guy who handles the airtime and all that end is Tyler Sims. And the PAC that's collecting the chips-in at www.opnh.org and paying the tv stations to run the ads is run by a guy named Brandon. Anyway, Tyler posts on here a lot and answers most of the questions. I just hang out in my office and make commercials. I'm the creative side. Tyler is the business.
So, I apologize for not coming on the boards a lot and giving fund raising speeches. It's something I should've done, but not something I'm really good at or comfortable with. I'm just a TV director, and so I feel most comfortable simply doing that.
However, soon we will be setting up a website devoted soley to my ads. We are filming more after the new year, and hope to have around a dozen or so in total. And, as I said, there will be a website setup in conjunction with Trevor's legal help, where the grassroots can chip in to have the ads shown in whatever city they choose. It will work like the blimp, and not be subject to FEC laws. Except you get to chose where you want the ads to be shown- region by region, state by state. WIth the blimp, you paid for "airtime". With the commercials people will pay for "viewership head counts". The more money raised, the more it will show in that particular region.
This will be a good arrangement, as I will be able to work just making commercials, Tyler can handle the business, and the grassroots can be empowered to pick a state and city, a time slot, donate to it, and get the specific ad or ads they want, shown at the time they want, in the city thay want. The PAC that's currently showing the ads, won't be involved.

thanks for the support
thanks for the support
OK, I contributed another $100 for Black Ads in NH
But my question is why people aren't betting that the Black ads won't work well in NH?
I think Black 1-3 are particularly good for NH! (I think Black #4 is geared more for IA.)

good input--in line with others input we received
We are looking right now at NH blocks that are available...cost are higher and limited for buys. Ad 3, since its 60 sec, for instance can only go on network tv we were told yesterday by the cable groups who are only taking in 30 sec. ads. if this ad 3 is of interest for people we will have to raise the donation bar NH significantly. Tell your friends to donate. Currently we had slated the same ads on the page minus the christmas ad for circulation in NH on rotation. Given the 60 sec blocking we will either have to remove it or get a 15-30k fund just to air this ad on network tv's best spots and cheapest spots.
My fingers are crossed
I'm very excited by what you are doing!!

Good morning Bump
Good Morning Bumpin. Thats the best kind.
thanks for the bump
Thanks for the bump!
Thanks for making this
Thanks for making this appear again. I've been searching for it and couldn't figure out how to find it. I'm not a Christian, but I know that this great ad is going to resonate with a TON of people, and I wanted to find it again to support it and I think that anybody who agrees with me should as well. This great ad speaks to more than just Christians. It speaks to anybody with family.
