Looks Great - Good Job.

list?

On May 13th, 2008 MichelleM says:

Is there a list of all the cities you guys were able to put billboards up at?

We have our Sturgis billboard!

We have our Sturgis billboard!

The Rapid City Meet-up GRoup decided Sturgis was more important then Rapid City. One of the members family members from Arizona has offered to pay the rest.

So Now, we just have Rapid City, Elk Point, Brookings, and Aberdeen to go. :)

I don't know why the Chip-in isn't updating. We've actually had about $1,400 in donations.

We need about $3,100 more to cover the next 4 places I've mentioned above I think.

Tracy

Please, this is important, we need to have them up before May 1st most of these places. Most locations don't allow for half-months, so we really don't have that much time to raise the rest of the funds to get them up all over like we would like.

I like the freeway sign

On April 11th, 2008 Ivor schwartzporsche says:

Honk if you want freedom and prosperity. Honk,honk,honk......

'I always think of all you canvassors and precinct leaders and delegates at the front line and caucuses.Honk.
Good luck out there &Thank you. You're a gift. Honk.

Can only hope

On April 11th, 2008 MichelleM says:

That the thousands visiting freedomrally.info will see this ChipIn, if not then they will see it after the 15th on the new website coming as well.

I hope that everyone can donate $3, $5, $10 or more and get to that $3000 mark!
Let's tell SD that Ron Paul is not "dead" and he's here to stay until the end! Influence that voting in June!

Suggestion

On April 11th, 2008 MichelleM says:

Could you please bump up your ChipIn to include the fees for all of the billboards?
We'll help spread the word and get that money in for you, but this way people will know you need the whole $3000 for all of the billboards.

I want to ChipIn! Our Caucus is in June this is PERFECT! People please ChipIn and help them out :)

I bumped the Chip-In up for Ron Paul Billboards

On April 14th, 2008 Skyorbit says:

http://sdronpaul.chipin.c...

've revised it up to try and help raise money for our Rapid City Billboards, Sturgus, Huron County, Brookings, and Aberdeen.

Rapid City will be about $1000

This is the 2nd largest population center in South Dakota

Sturgus will be around $900

Sturgus is Biker Country. Very important. This is part of the demographic that's ripe for Ron Paul's message.

Elk Point in Huron Country, this year is going to be very important. There's a local controversy over a Hyperion coal plant that's wanting to be put in.

Both sides of this contraversy could learn a lot form Ron Paul, regarding this issue. Plus They're going to be voting in my higher proportions then normal, so it's impoartant that, if they take the Republican Ballot, they know Ron Paul's running.

Elk Point Billboard, about $700

Brookings is a college town. There's already a sizable Ron Paul group at SDSU there, although, like many of his college following, has kind of given up. A prominant billboard, would encourage them, get them to vote, and reactivate this group. It's also a decent size town.

Brookings Billboard, about $700

Aberdeen is another decent size town.

Aberdeen Billboard, about $700

PS WE've already signed the contract for sioux FAlls, and are working on Rapid City area.

OK. I'll do that when I get

On April 11th, 2008 Skyorbit says:

OK.

I'll do that when I get home tonight. I don't have my chip-in log in here.

But in General.

If we get this filled, we'll have our Sioux Falls one.

Then Rapid City's going to be $925+ the cost of making the Bill Board which is $150 so total $1075.

This are both just for a month to. I'll need some additional money to keep them up for another half of a month from MAy 20-June 3rd. But for now I'm just trying to raise money to get them up. We need as least a months worth up front.

The next spot to put one in if we get Sioux Falls, and Rapid City, which wouldn't be too expensive would be in Huron County, on Elk GRove. There's a huge politically active population their anyway because of a local issue involving Hyperion. People on both sides of this issue could really do well with Ron Paul's free market environmentalist aproach to these issues.
Huron would be about $700 Just Like Yankton.

Then there's Brookings, with a large college population. There used to be a heavily active facebook group at SDSU. PRobably about $900.

And STurgeous. Biker Country. Probably $900.

If we get all that, I'd like to get one up in Aberdeen too. That's a decent sized town. About $700.

So Total is about $3,200

For 1 month, if we want to get these all.

Then for the additional half month, probably another thousand.

Total about $4,000 more that we need if we want to do all of these after the Sioux Falls, one get's up.

To be honest I haven't priced some of these others yet.

I'll update the chip-in tonight when I get home.

You can get 1 billboard

On April 11th, 2008 MichelleM says:

You can get 1 billboard between Sturgis and Rapid, that is a busy section and will cost around the $900 mark. I priced between Sturgis and Rapid with Epic and they were $700 plus vinyl fee. So Lamar should be close to that.
Then hopefully get a billboard on the south end of Rapid for when people are coming in on the interstate. All those tourists, the roads are always busy here.
You're linked up on freedomrally.info and we'll be sure to tell people at the Rally to get the few bucks in to your chipin.

Thanks for the

Thanks for the suggestion.

That's a good idea.

That's where we'll put it when we raise the money.

Bumpety bump bump bump!!!

On April 11th, 2008 Americandodo says:

GO SOUTH DAKOTA!!! Folks, this is a great cause, and you are doing great with the donations ($275 last time I checked). Ron Paul signs here in Eastern Oregon have been springing up ALL over the place, it is so amazing! Maybe I can do something like you good folks in South Dakota are doing.

Keep it up!!!, and God Bless you all!!!!

We are getting more signs and supplies

If it's ready to go do it - IF not - consider adding something about hemp - the North Dakota farmers took the DEA to court over this issue - I'd think SD would be the same way ... Regardless - it looks good & they've helped(billboards) in Lancaster County, PA too - great to see your efforts.

YEah. The Billboards are

On April 10th, 2008 Skyorbit says:

YEah. The Billboards are already made.

We already have done quite a bit of outreach to farmers. We mailed out letters to every farmer in South Dakota.

Leverage...

On April 10th, 2008 ljrdxyh says:

Great! Now go leverage this billboard by canvassing canvassing canvassing! My district got 84% more votes for Ron Paul than two neighboring identical precints which weren't canvassed.
